This is a wonderfully clear and simple and reassuring guide to learning to pay attention to subtle hints from your body about what is going on in your life. The underlying idea behind the procedure Ann teaches is that we are not contraptions in which a mind and spirit are just tucked into a body like a pillow into a pillow case. Rather we are a unitary bodymind and whatever subtle or not so subtle senses are going on in our bodies--at least those that are not too closely related to disease or to what we just ate--probably have something to tell us about what we haven't noticed yet about our lives. So we need to listen to our bodies, much as we would listen to another person we really wanted to understand.
