Luminous Essence: Exploring the Body Consciousness

Blending Chinese medicine, the martial arts, and Native American knowing, Daniel Santos challenges us to view the body and its healing in an exciting new way. This book is about exploring a new way of being conscious of our bodies. It addresses the relationship between body, mind and spirit. It is an inspiring account of healing, presenting valuable insight into the magic and mystery of the path toward wholeness. It will help you imagine and inhabit your body in a new and wholesome way. There is a touch of magic here. The body knows what it is doing. Even as a seed, given time, space, and the right conditions, will grow into a tree, the body, when it can remain in touch with its integrity, will grow into its potential as a human being. This is what I call the "healing body". When we break a bone, there is an integrity with force and power behind it which knows how to knit that bone. When we cut ourselves, there is a template of how we should or could be that comes to our assistance to mend our wound. There is a luminous essence inside of us at many different levels that embodies our potential.
