Editorial Review: Product Description: In The Forgotten Body: A Way of Knowing and Understanding Self, Elissa Cobb, co-director of Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, shares the wisdom and insight she has gained from her own lengthy journey of self-actualization. This book deals with the body as an overlooked repository for the most profound scrolls of personal wisdom that one is likely to discover. Like many before her, Cobb finds herself confronted with the undeniable connection of the mind to the body. Her own journey has led her to the realization that mastery of one's mind can be most effectively attained through the rediscovery of one's physical body. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy serves as the model for the developing synthesis of psychology, spirituality and bodywork, to give the reader a solid foundation of personal physical discovery from which to grow. With her own personal truths used as examples of the body's powers of wisdom, Elissa Cobb urges the reader to take them just as they are; her own truth, not the truth. The text follows a ground up approach beginning with the use of one s body as a foundation for self-discovery and proceeds skyward, leading the reader along a path that many will find parallel to their own life journeys. The Forgotten Body is not a rulebook or a rigid doctrine. It is a guide to the rediscovery of the simple and profound truths of one's own body. As the great yogi Saraha said in the late eighth century, The most profound pilgrimage I can ever make is within my own body. The Forgotten Body was written for those who are searching for personal authenticity, those who want to begin or develop a transformative practice, and those who have a body. It is intended for anyone who is intrigued by the possibility of looking inside rather than outside for the answers to life s questions. In a culture where many have become accustomed to looking outside of themselves for guidance, this book offers the reader an opportunity to turn inside for the answers to questions about life and self. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Wasted OpportunityHaving gained much from Yoga in my life, including enhanced awareness of myself, my life's purpose and the connection between caring for my body and general well-being, I had high hopes for this book. Instead of exploring the many ways body work can interplay with emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being much of this book is spent on ideas that fall into the category of believing twelve impossible things before breakfast. Cellular memory is at the core of this complilation of ignorance. ... Read More Rating:  - Fantastic, beutiful and educating.I can't express myself enough because it is so big, beautiful and educating, and Elissa Cobb uses many ways of saying and research things, so much work in it, so sophisticated, so heart connecting,. I connect with her in opinions, suggestions, and I am thankful for how earnest she is about to work it out. It isn't easy to write about life struggle and pain, but Elissa Cobb gets to the reader in many ways on her view of what has happened and to use the value of it in day to day life. Shared in a beautiful ... Read More Rating: - Wonderful!Elissa is a gifted teacher and guide and that shines through her writing. The Forgotten Body is informative and full of insights Elissa has gathered in her years as a personal trainer and yoga therapist as well as in her personal journey, yet her writing leaves room for my own experiences and ideas to mix with her perspectives and research. After reading The Forgotten Body I came away with a wealth of new ideas about the human physical and emotional bodies and their interconnectedness, and also I learned ... Read More Rating: - The Body KnowsElissa Cobb has written an extraordinary book. Her premise is quite simple: Your body contains the keys to the age old quest of "knowing thyself." Through compelling scientific evidence and heartfelt personal testimony, Cobb rejects the predominately western idea that the "mind and body" are separate entities. The body, Cobb explains, is the vessel of all of our emotional, intellectual experience. In elegant language, she proposes that those physical pains we experience reflect back to us something ... Read More Rating: - Putting the pieces together...Written by one who knows, for those of us on the path to remembering, Elissa Cobb's book is full on so many levels. From science, to meta-science, from personal to anecdotal, from physical to emotional, to spiritual. I walked into the book with eyes wide shut and coaxed to open them wider - again and again. I particularly appreciate the "whos-who" found in the bibliography section. It was like putting all the best from my favorite books & writers together in one story - one that makes my story real for me. Thank ... Read More
