| Synopsis: |
In The Wisdom of the Body, Christine Valters Paintner focuses on the true meaning of the Incarnation-God became flesh- and points to the spiritual importance of appreciating the bodies God gave us.Each of the book's ten chapters is a mini-workshop designed to lead us to new ways of being in relationship with our bodies. Starting with the senses and shifting toward emotions and desires, Paintner explores their role as thresholds to discovering the body's wisdom. She draws from Christian tradition to offer principles and practices such as stability, hospitality, and gratitude to lead us on a journey that ends with a sense of deep peace and self-acceptance.Through expressive arts and creative movement, Paintner demonstrates a new language and way of integrating and sharing our discoveries. By exploring the lives of women in the Bible and in the Christian tradition-including Eve, Mary, Hildegaard of Bingen, and Amma Syncletica-she introduces us to companions that accompany us on our journey. |
