A psychologist reveals how embodiment is the missing link in mind-body medicine and a powerful force in emotional health and social connection
People go to great lengths to live longer and healthier: We optimize how we sleep, eat, and exercise. We practice meditation and mindfulness. Yet there’s a missing link between the body and mind that informs how well these practices work. Drawing on cutting-edge research, psychologist Bo Forbes reveals how understanding and cultivating our inner senses—interoception, proprioception, body agency, body ownership, and body resonance—is the key to physical, emotional, and social wellbeing.
Grounded explores the five inner senses that are the wellspring for every other practice we employ to live well. Ailments such as anxiety, depression, and chronic pain are often rooted in imbalances in our sensory awareness. By honing the inner senses, we can be guided back to health.
Weaving revelatory science with accessible practices and vivid storytelling, Grounded is for readers who are ready to move beyond traditional approaches to wellness and transform how they inhabit and move through the world.
