Books, videos, podcasts and websites
It’s important to state that the mind body connection is not new knowledge, it is ancient. It is modern, Western societies that have encouraged a disconnect from the self leading to the dis-ease the MBR focuses on.
Many indigenous cultures across the world do not question that wisdom comes from the body and the parts of ourselves that are beyond thought. That is why it is important to recognise and appreciate that the resources listed below draw from this indigenous knowledge, whether it is quoted as a source or not.
