E-Books by Paul Linden
I have written books and articles on a broad range of topics from computer ergonomics, pregnancy, and fitness to abuse recovery, attention disorders, and conflict resolution. These seemingly disparate topics all revolve around the integrated use of the embodied self.
The two children's books contain stories I wrote for my son when he was little, and even in them there are hints about the wise use of the body self.
Some of my writing has been translated into various languages, and as more translations are done, they will be added to the website.
Prices are for single copies of the books. Discounts are available for use of multiple copies of a book -- for example, as a text for a study group. Please e-mail paullinden@aol.com for discount information.

The book goes on to teach hands-on methods for helping clients enhance their body awareness, balance, and centering.

Embodied Peacemaking: Body Awareness, Self-Regulation and Conflict Resolution
This book is similar to Reach Out and Teaching Children Embodied Peacemaking but much more in-depth. Conflict generally evokes fight-or-flight physical arousal, which, by creating tunnel vision and oppositional thinking, perpetuates and escalates conflict. This book offers a systematic progression of exercises, movement experiments, and role-plays through which people can learn to replace the postural hardness and contraction of fight-or-flight arousal with a soft and expansive body state.

Teaching Children Embodied Peacemaking: Body Awareness, Self-Regulation and Conflict Resolution
This book focuses on the role of the body in conflict resolution and peacemaking. Conflict generally includes fight-or-flight arousal. That arousal is a physical body state which makes it hard to think or act in peaceful, non-oppositional, affirmative ways. The book offers a systematic progression of exercises, games, and role-plays which adults can teach to children to help them recognize the postural contraction and stiffness of fight-or-flight arousal and replace that with a soft and expansive body state.
