This is Stanley Keleman at his finest. A poetic philosophical treatise on reclaiming the life of the body. Keleman manages to be both spiritual and psychological without getting bogged down in technical jargon or naive new-age literalism. The central assertion of The Human Ground can perhaps be summed up by the statement, "your body is an energetic process going by your name." Keleman puts forward an energy-based model for understanding and healing our emotional lives, and uses transcripts from workshop sessions with clients to illustrate his points. So much of our alienation, dysfunction and dissatisfaction comes from a fundamental loss of contact with our bodily selves. In The Human Ground we are invited to come into direct experience of our embodied selves and the great reservoirs of energy that live there. Keleman challenges our repressive socialization around sexuality, the body, our energies and emotions, and instills a passionate faith in the human being! Excellent reading for anyone involved or interested in the body-based therapies; yoga, massage, core sequencing, somato-emotional release, bioenergetics, breathwork etc.

An incredible book! As a professional in the field of human potential, I found this book very useful to offer to clients. And they got excited and passed the title along to their loved ones and friends. The understanding of the various forces (literal and figurative) that play on our physical form is powerful. Must reading for those exploring the euphoria of possibilities!

This is a very good book that prepares someone for death situations and it was recommended to me by my instructor and i really liked it so much. i learned a lot from this book in general. i recommend it to people of all ages because death is everyone's important part of life.
