Product Description
by Alan Briskin (Author), Mary V. Gelinas (Author)
Have you ever walked into a room and known immediately that something was off? Maybe your skin tingled or your stomach clenched, maybe you noticed how eyes were averted or chatter was strained. Or maybe the opposite was true and you were walking into a place of safety and comfort, where your breathing came more easily, your heart rate calmed, and your tension melted away.
In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary book, Alan Briskin and Mary V. Gelinas weave together a combined eighty years of experience in social psychology, systems thinking, and contemplative practices to explain how fields influence us physically, emotionally, and intuitively-often without our conscious awareness.
What if we could learn to pay attention to these fields that are operating in and around us, understand their messages, and use them to act more intentionally and compassionately? Discover how awareness of these dynamic spaces can help foster collaborative relationships, bridge social, political, and religious divides, and effect more constructive, meaningful and lasting change.
