After 24 years, William Redpath returns to share his further discoveries about how brain registers its trauma. He has carried forward his insights first presented in his now classic text, Trauma Energetics, A Study of Held-Energy Systems. He includes new approaches to breathing and meditation, including a full-session transcript with a client which integrates these factors.

Drawing on gestalt and developmental strategies about literature, myth, sexuality, theological tropes, and spiritual enlightenment, Redpath additionally herein proffers wide-ranging commentaries about ways to consider traditional texts, including works by Cummings, Beckett, Conrad, Frost, Arnold, the Bible, Shakespeare, Kurosawa, and Rich, among others. He applies what he has discovered about how trauma is stored energetically in the mindbody to these cultural benchmarks.

Conversationally thoughtful in intention, Redpath's provocative approach can appear initially complex in presentation. However, he delineates an holistic, integrative meditational vision which is ultimately simple and hopeful.
