Rewilding - Micah Mortali

Descriere

n nReconnect with your wild essence as you awaken your innate bond with the natural world n nRewilding is a return to our essential nature. It is an attempt to reclaim something of what we were before we used words like 'civilized' to define ourselves. --Micah Mortali n nIn his long-awaited book Rewilding, Kripalu director Micah Mortali brings together yoga, mindfulness, wilderness training, and ancestral skills to create a unique guide for reigniting your primal energy--your undomesticated true self--and deepening your connection with the living earth. n nFor hundreds of thousands of years, humans lived intimately with the earth. We were in the wild and of the wild. Today, we live mostly urban lives--and our vital wildness has gone dormant. As a result, we're more isolated, unhealthy, anxious, and depressed than ever, and our planet has suffered alongside us. n nWith Rewilding, Mortali invites us to shed the effects of over-civilization and explore an inner wisdom that is primal, ancient, and profound. Whether you live in the middle of a city or alongside the woods, the insights and practices on these pages will bring you home to your wild, wise, and alive self. n nHighlights include: n* Practice-rich content--mindfulness exercises, guided meditations, yoga and pranayama, inward sensing, forest bathing, and much more n* The life-force deficit--explore how our separation from nature affects us physiologically and spiritually n* Ancestral skills--such as tracking, foraging, building fires, and finding shelter n* Develop a sense of calm, clarity, connection, and confidence in both your daily life and the great outdoors n* What you can learn from nature's teachers--lessons from mountains, rivers, trees, and our animal kin n* Rewild in the wild--guidelines around safety, preparedness, appropriate gear, and packing lists n* A mindful rewilding flow--put everything together in an immersive, step-by-step rewilding experience n* Awaken your authentic spiritual connection with the natural world as you come home to your true self n* Understand the relationship between our health and the health of our planet--and how we can begin to heal both n nPart celebration of the natural world, part spiritual memoir, and part how-to guide, Rewilding is a must-read for anyone who wants to embrace their wild nature and essential place in the living earth.n
