Brightly soulful and deeply rooted, The Body Oracle Deck is a somatic invitation to awe and wonder, a homecoming to nature and the body, and an antidote to despair.Includes 80 lushly illustrated cards with original collage art, body-based exercises, and an accompanying guidebookWritten by Abigail Rose Clarke (Returning Home to Our Bodies) and illustrated by Amy Salomone, this deck opens our awareness to a profound and powerful truth: our bodies are miracles.Created to help you connect to the innate and beautiful wisdom of your body—and to the living world to which we each belong—The Body Oracle Deck is an invitation into embodied resistance against disembodiment and cynicism. It helps us awaken to ourselves and our senses so we can awaken to the world—and stay present and engaged even through heartbreak and hopelessness. Structured in four sections, Clarke guides us through four dimensions of embodied knowing: “Awe”: tiny stories of our beginnings—as stardust, as kin—that open us to a greater sense of wonder “Curiosity”: meditations on safety, change, intuition, and belief—that are meant to change and evolve as you do “Possibilities”: breath, movement, and imaginative engagement with your body “Oracle”: the body’s wisdom on vitality, reciprocity, and integration Muscle and blood, belly and bone, our bodies move and connect more like ecosystems than machines. This deck offers a path home to this truth—and a conduit to the precious, singular experiences and sensations that make up what it means to be vital, embodied, and fully alive.
