The new science of embodiment tells us that ābody sense,ā or interoceptive awareness, is a crucial factor for our well-being across the span of our lives. In this eye-opening and wide-ranging book, body image expert Dr. Susan Sands unpacks the research to make a bold call to aging women to find safe harbor from the ravages of age right where they strike the deepestāin the body. āHow can we manage the losses of aging? Stop focusing on the āoutside bodyā that others seeāthe one you may think is too fat, too wrinkled, or too saggyāand move your attention to the āinside bodyā that you sense and feel.ā
With wise and humorous insight, Dr. Sands calls on case studies, personal stories, and scientific findings to help us rewrite the cultural beliefs that put us at odds with our own bodies. Powerful yet accessible embodiment tools such as meditation, yoga, breathing practices, and neural feedback techniques make this a practical as well as enlightening self-care manifesto for women at midlife and beyond.
āThis book is not about trying to look fifty when youāre seventy or thirty when youāre fifty,ā writes Dr. Sands. āItās about forging a healthier relationĀship with your actual maturing bodyāa relationship of respect, appreciation, tenderness, and yes, even love.ā
