I'm a mind-body health practitioner and have spent many years in Christian ministry. I do physical Bodywork and also stress illness or psychophysical disorder therapy. Thanks so much for your talk. I have spent years listening to my own body and coming to terms with my limits and also my emotions. Now I am attempting to teach others to do the same. There are so few Christians taking this seriously. So with my background in eastern religion I have incorporated dumbed down yoga etc to start to enable people to be mindful of their bodies and to take the time to appreciate what we have and through this to break the dichotomy and fear people have of a spirituality which enjoys and wonders at the creation of our bodies and glorifies God holistically. Such a pity the West has lost much of the contemplative physical disciplines and the church has feared the East and been robbed of the opportunities to redeem the good there is there.
