Description - Finding Quiet Strength: Emotional Intelligence, Embodied Awareness, by Judith Kleinman
Finding Quiet Strength (FQS) is a practical philosophy that connects to both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience. Judith's work enables a calm, confident, and coordinated approach to life, helping us to be centred, grounded and develop a sense of poise and equilibrium.
At some point, most of us need help with the challenges of life. FQS is a practice of being present in a way that develops our emotional intelligence and embodied awareness enabling us to navigate the many ups and downs of being human. This beautifully illustrated book helps us to develop a deep and gentle self-acceptance. Through this self-acceptance, FQS helps us work on an embodied resilience and become more aware of what we can let go of and change.
A core element of this work is inspired by F.M. Alexander's principles of inhibition and direction, stopping, thinking and connecting. With practice, we can take a moment to pause and consider how we might be limiting ourselves and begin to notice the interconnection of our mindset with our bodies. Often the patterns of worrying and anxiety that we embody can be below our conscious radar and can start to limit the joy, peace and ease which we find when we feel in charge of ourselves.
Finding Quiet Strength integrates Alexander's discoveries with Chi Kung and Tai Chi. These ancient traditions help us recognise the signals of threat that trigger old patterns of defence and fear and restore us to a sense of being centred and to regain conscious control. FQS works on the relationship between thinking in stillness and thinking in activity to find a sense of wholeness in whatever we do so we can feel at home with ourselves in all situations and our lives can become more joyful.
Finding Quiet Strength practices develop:
* Understanding of the interconnectedness of the mind, body and emotions.
* Sensory awareness, with an emphasis on an appreciation of the somatic sense of the body in stillness and movement.
* Through an exploration of balance, the connection between breathing, embodiment and the environment.
* An understanding of how to listen to our nervous systems to recognise the signals of threat and safety.
* A deep understanding of what it is to think clearly, breathe well and move easily.
* Being able to be present with what we are doing while we are doing it.
