PRAISE FOR ENLIVENING CONSCIOUSNESS
“Calling for a reawakened understanding of eyesight, vision, nutrition, and health, Enlivening Consciousness provides a delightful blending of spirituality, science, and the author’s personal experiences as an optometrist and as an adventurous soul. Elisa weaves together a remarkable array of insights and practical tips that all illuminate an empowering holistic approach to wellness. She dances through the pages, tossing out poetic embellishments and reminding us of the many truths we have forgotten in our world today: how our body and mind are one and how movement, nature, and our spirituality rescue us from the reductionistic materialism that erodes our health. This is an inspiring book that helps us reconnect with our inner wisdom and remember the deeper truths about our shared life on this beautiful and fragile Earth.”
—Will Tuttle, PhD, visionary author of the best-selling book The World Peace Diet, recipient of the Courage of Conscience Award and the Empty Cages Prize, former Zen monk and dharma master in the Zen tradition.
“Elisa infuses us with vital and interesting insights in a caring, knowledgeable, and encouraging manner. Her professional understanding and approach to visual health and sight are deeply rooted in the development of movement as a foundation for integrated coordination of the eyes. She speaks to us personally and directly, encouraging us to become aware of our own inner life and choices.”
-Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, author of Basic Neurocellular Patterns: Exploring Developmental Movement
“Enlivening Consciousness is an experiential book, written in an engaging conversational style by Dr. Elisa Beth Haransky-Beck. It is full of questions to consider (self-inquiry), suggested movements (experiential exploration), and includes periodic break times built into the reading process. It is not simply words on a page, but an opportunity to explore the self in ways most of us haven’t yet considered. I look forward to using it as a tool to more fully integrate my own body-soma.”
—Denise Allen, host, Healing Our Sight podcast
