Stephanie Mines

Restore resilience at its developmental source through energy medicine Shares the authors journey of learning the healing art of Jin Shin, discovering the embryological roots of resilience, and healing her own trauma Explores how the Jin Shin sites correlate with the Chinese Extraordinary Meridians and with specific embryological events Shows how subtle touch in combination with trauma resolution amplifies neuroresilience, enhances creativity, restores motivation, and heals the fragmentation and disconnection associated with trauma and shockWhen neuroscientist Stephanie Mines started practicing the hands-on healing Art of Compassion, she began to unravel the mystery of trauma and the secret to resilience. As a survivor of early childhood abuse, police brutality as a social justice activist, and a series of dysfunctional and abusive relationships, Mines was profoundly curious about how the human nervous system finds resilience despite the cumulative burden of chronic stress and traumatic life events. While earning her doctorate in neuropsychology, she met Mary Iino Burmeister, master of the Art of Compassion, or Jin Shin Jyutsu. Art of Compassion consists of non-invasive touch, using the fingertips, on sites of the body that are similar to acupuncture points. After the Art of Compassion helped Mines resolve her own trauma and awaken her innate resilience, she began to incorporate it into her clinical research. She discovered that the map of the body she learned from Burmeister sites correlated with the Chinese Extraordinary Meridians or Rivers of Splendor, which develop prenatally. She then began investigating our earliest neurodevelopmental processes and was able to correlate the Extraordinary Meridians with specific embryological events. She found that subtle touch on these sites in combination with trauma resolution amplifies neuroresilience, enhances creativity, restores motivation, and heals the fragmentation and disconnection associated with trauma and shock. Sharing her personal journey as a Wounded Healer, Mines reveals not only how to unlock the secrets of resilience for individual healing but also how embodied resilience will help us heal our wounded planet.

Reveals how Maata integrated her own experiences of trauma and colonialism with traditional Mori wisdom to develop modern teachings Shares Mori practices around birth, death, and healing, and Maatas ritual of Kahu Whakatere to embrace bereavement, transition, and loss Tells the story of Parihaka, the birthplace of nonviolent protest, and how its teachings speak to humanity todayEntering the Mori worldview is like stepping into a verdant landscape where humans and plants, animals, the land, rain, and mountains are united. This may sound like a step into a distant past, but it is the model of living that matriarch Maata Wharehoka has been sustaining her entire life in Aotearoa, New Zealand.The Mori word manaaki means to protect, to show respect, and to take care. This is the essence of Maata Wharehokas wisdom. Transmitting Maatas wisdom to the world is the task Stephanie Mines set for herself as she shares in this book Maatas pioneering efforts in healthcare, parenting, and social justice as well as her interpretations of traditional Mori teachings. Stephanie reveals how Maata used her experiences of trauma and colonialism, along with generational Indigenous wisdom, to develop teachings for our times. Readers will learn Maatas Mori practices around healing, death and dying, and relationship to elders as well as her views on the sanctity of birthing, parenting, kuiatanga (the way of the kuia, or women elders), inclusive healthcare, and the Earth. Maatas practice of Kahu Whakaterea ritual to embrace bereavement, transition, and lossshows how death can be a peacemaker and unifier. And lastly Stephanie lets us see and understand the Mori view of the climate crisis and how to address it with nature-informed consciousness.With reflective exercises that share the hard-won wisdom of an elder, this book allows Maatas spirit of manaakiprotection, respect, and careto reach beyond Aotearoa to the world.
