Sensing Ground - by Joey Remenyi (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Your body is a compass that can direct your own path of healing.

The unusual bodily sensations you experience as a highly sensitive person are your greatest gift. In Sensing Ground, vestibular audiologist and neuroplasticity therapist Joey Remenyi shows you how to read your body's signals to better understand yourself. By learning to follow your body's clues and create intimacy with your own lived experiences, you'll rediscover who you are and develop sovereignty.

In her first book, Rock Steady, Remenyi helped thousands of readers overcome vertigo and tinnitus. In Sensing Ground, based on her highly successful program of the same name, she shows you how to radically tune inward and follow your body's guidance through all your senses. If you have a persistent physical ailment or emotional trauma asking for your attention, or if you experience unusual body sensations with no medical explanation or cure, this book is for you. Or you may simply yearn to follow a deep inner calling for sanctuary in an increasingly chaotic world.

Remenyi's deeply soulful and creative approach will help you understand your body's nuanced language so that you can attune to the world around you, stop arguing with yourself and allow your life to unfurl with a sense of internal alignment. You'll learn how to use the ancient practice of the body scan--observing sensations from head to toe--and how to anchor into feelings of safety, connection, and belonging. Symptoms and sensations are your body's way of reminding you to pause, feel, trust the mystery, regain presence, and direct loving attention inwards when life is messy and doesn't yet make sense.

If you identify as a highly sensitive person, an empath, or neurodivergent, Joey Remenyi's Sensing Ground will help you honor yourself deeply in a world that undervalues your wisdom. You'll return to true sensuality, expand your capacity for both pain and pleasure, and awaken more of your natural gifts for our world.

"I have had some incredible opportunities to focus on all eight senses. I find funerals very triggering and uncomfortable, but this one was different. I felt comfortable, light and free, and so full from this beautiful experience of exploration. This is very powerful work. And it's nowhere near as difficult as I thought it might be. It's really enjoyable." --Lizzie Mann, Sensing Ground participant

"I stopped underlining things because I would have ended up underlining the whole book. I want to tattoo many of these words on my arm." --Evin Fox, PhD, Sensing Ground participant
