From the Back Cover
PRAISE FOR the body of money
"Gayle's work in Somatic Finance(R) is at the forefront of the next evolution of personal finance. Her book, The Body of Money, provides a better understanding of the integral, yet often ignored, connection between our money and our body, which in turn helps strengthen our awareness, feelings and relationship with money."
--JAKE NORTHRUP, CFP(R), CFA, CSLP(R), Founder and CEO of Experience Your Wealth
"When I first heard Gayle Colman connect money wisdom with body wisdom, my heart stood at attention. This work is a gift when you're ready to unpack and heal the dysfunctional way we learn to work with money. You'll finally realize that wise confident embodied financial decisions were right inside you all along."
--PATTY LENNON, Founder of the Receiving School(R), Author of Make Space for Magic
"Thirty years ago, the humane side of money was a faint whisper sensed by a small number of financial planners beginning to feel there was more to their work with individuals and families than just money. Gayle felt that inner pull and immersed herself in somatic practices steeped in ancient wisdom through the lens of financial planning. The result is a body of work, and her book, The Body of Money, that will continue to enrich the profession and those they serve for lifetimes to come."
--SUSAN BRADLEY, CFP(R), CeFT(R), Founder of Sudden Money Institute
"Unlike many personal finance offerings, Gayle speaks WITH us evoking the image and power of money, leading us to the possibility of peace with timeless wisdom. Through her gentle guidance we can navigate the depths of our own money beliefs and behaviors with an open heart and mind, emerging with understanding, power and most importantly, purpose."
--SAUNDRA DAVIS, MS, FCC(R), FBS(R) Financial Coach, Certified Mindfulness Teacher
"The Body of Money will engage you right away by bringing breath and YOUR body to engage with money and all its tendrils in a new way. You'll journey with a deeply friendly and, dare I say, fun (what! money can be fun?!) guide, Gayle, who will weave new possibilities and new inherent resources to generate and enjoy a new money script and new relationship with inner and outer resources. I'm excited for your adventure with this enormously useful book."
--KATHLYN HENDRICKS, PhD, BC-DMT, Bestselling Author of Conscious Loving and At the Speed of Life
