CARDIFF BY THE SEA, Calif. - s4story -- Betsy Polatin, MFA, SEP, internationally recognized breathing/movement specialist and best- selling author, has a new book, HUMANUAL (a manual for being human) An Epic Journey to Your Expanded Self.

Each of us has an everyday self that we assume our self to be. But what if there is more to us than meets the eye? What if there is an expanded version of our self that includes not only the habitual patterns, the lost parts, and the innate organization but also a connection to the grand, scintillating space of the universe and the possibilities it offers us?

HUMANUAL is a unique and comprehensive approach to self-knowledge and self-improvement, offering a clear, concise, and rather simple set of explanations and exercises to facilitate understanding and unity of body, mind, and spirit. Many of us have lost our connection to each other, the planet, ourselves, and our bodies, causing distress and discomfort. But in actuality, we have a wealth of resources inside of us that we can learn to activate and use to our advantage to access health and well-being. Anyone can use the exercises in this book for personal exploration and growth.
