But your analytical mind does not want to die. Instead, it wants its continuity. That is the problem. It uses everything including spirituality to make its continuity intact. But we can dodge this mind and can prepare it for its eagerness to merge into the vast. But how? Let's explain in brief. Although the mind is very clever but at one corner, it has a connection with the heart. Here you can mold it. And if heart part does not work, then the hard part that is our logic comes into the game. In conclusion, we use every weapon to mold the mind for its plunge into the vast, that is our existence. There is more. It is clear that at last, this mind and body will automatically jump into the vast at the time of man's death, but we want enlightenment before the actual death. Real enlightenment is death before the actual death occurs. And here comes the power of mind, body, and senses to help the analytical mind to reach real and natural enlightenment beyond spirituality. Spirituality proves as a water dam that binds the flowing water of a river for its selfish purposes. But if water of a river goes beyond a water dam means a mind goes beyond spirituality then it certainly meets the vast that is true and natural enlightenment. The present book: 'The Power of Mind, Body, and Senses: A Guide to Real and Natural Enlightenment Beyond Spirituality' is all about the above journey from an analytical mind to real and natural enlightenment. Your life is like a river wanted to meet the vast. And this book helps you to mingle with that vast that is your existence. This book helps to 'Know Thyself.'

The science and practice of feeling our movements, sensations, and emotions. When we are first born, before we can speak or use language to express ourselves, we use our physical sensations, our “body sense,” to guide us toward what makes us feel safe and fulfilled and away from what makes us feel bad. As we develop into adults, it becomes easy to lose touch with these crucial mind-body communication channels, but they are essential to our ability to navigate social interactions and deal with psychological stress, physical injury, and trauma. Combining a ground-up explanation of the anatomical and neurological sources of embodied self-awareness with practical exercises in touch and movement, Body Sense provides therapists and their clients with the tools to attain mind-body equilibrium and cultivate healthy body sense throughout their lives.

Within intellectual paradigms that privilege mind over matter, dance has long appeared as a marginal, derivative, or primitive art. Drawing support from theorists and artists who embrace matter as dynamic and agential, this book offers a visionary definition of dance that illuminates its constitutive work in the ongoing evolution of human persons. Why We Dance introduces a philosophy of bodily becoming that posits bodily movement as the source and telos of human life. Within this philosophy, dance appears as an activity that humans evolved to do as the enabling condition of their best bodily becoming. Weaving theoretical reflection with accounts of lived experience, this book positions dance as a catalyst in the development of human consciousness, compassion, ritual proclivity, and ecological adaptability. Aligning with trends in new materialism, affect theory, and feminist philosophy, as well as advances in dance and religious studies, this work reveals the vital role dance can play in reversing the trajectory of ecological self-destruction along which human civilization is racing.
