Love Your Body Contemplations. Practices for Remembering
What if some of the wisdom you are seeking is already within you?

A personal touch — hand-signed by Dr. Barry, with a bookmark to accompany your reading.
An invitation to slow down, become curious, and listen more deeply — to yourself, to others, to nature, and to life itself.
A companion for reflection.
Drawing upon more than five decades of experience as a naturopathic doctor, teacher, and guide, Dr. Barry Taylor offers twelve contemplations — invitations to pause, to breathe, to notice.
To question some of the assumptions and conditioning through which you have learned to experience yourself and the world.
Twelve doorways.
One invitation.
Each contemplation offers a different way of seeing and experiencing life.
Read what readers are saying.
Reflections from healers, teachers, and readers who have spent time with the contemplations.
Not answers.
Invitations.
These contemplations are not intended to tell you what to think, what to believe, or who you need to become.
They are invitations.
Invitations to pause.
To breathe.
To notice.
Each contemplation offers a doorway into a different way of seeing and experiencing life. Throughout the book, Barry invites you to move beyond simply understanding an idea and toward discovering what happens when you spend time with it — perhaps reading a contemplation aloud, sitting quietly with a question, journaling, sharing it with another person, visualizing what you might not otherwise see, or listening to music that opens another dimension of experience.
You do not have to agree with these contemplations.
You do not have to make them your truth.
You do not even have to understand them.
You are simply invited to spend some time with them.
Perhaps something will awaken. Perhaps something will shift.
Perhaps you will notice something you had not noticed before.
And perhaps you will remember something you have quietly known all along.
Another possibility.
In a world that often asks us to move faster, achieve more, and search outside ourselves for answers, Love Your Body Contemplations offers another possibility:
To slow down.
To listen.
To experience.
To remember.
This is not simply a book to read. It is a book to be experienced. A companion for reflection, journaling, conversation, meditation, and everyday life.
And ultimately, an invitation toward something larger than health or healing: the possibility of remembering what it feels like to be fully alive.
Begin the remembering.
Slow down.
Listen.
Remember.
