Exerpts from the Book:

When a ceramic bowl, teapot, or vase breaks into tiny pieces, most would throw all the pieces away. However, in the Japanese tradition of kintsugi, they believe in repairing the broken pieces by joining the fragments together with gold sealant. They believe that the breaks and repairs should be highlighted as the piece now comes together in a new way, and the fillings bring the piece together into an even more refined look than its original shape. Each fragment is now joined back in a new way, and every repaired bowl, teapot, or vase now looks different and unique. It does not have a single identical match. The breaks in the piece now highlight and enhance its unique beauty. They believe the scars are what makes the piece more beautiful.

My Thoughts:

This is a very helpful audiobook for those who appreciate self-help books with alternative approaches to health and healing. It helps you identify issues within your body, emotions that our body holds. You will learn how to identify where trauma, shame, guilt, and grief are holding in your body. Through meditations and worksheets, you will get a greater understanding of what your body holds and how to release that. Author also suggests affirmations in combinations with mudra for each. And of course she offers also the answers, what kind of action you need to create change.

I listened to the audiobook and read the book at the same time and I think both versions are very good. It is ideal to have both, because with book it is easier to follow. Audiobook is very good because you can also listen to all the guided meditations. If you are reading the book and don’t have an audiobook, I suggest you visit author’s website where you can listen to these meditations that are written in the book.

 

Narration is pleasant and calming, perfect for this kind of book.
