The Secret of Resilience: Healing Personal and Planetary Trauma through Morphogenesis

This book aims to help the reader restore resilience at its developmental source through energy medicine. Neuroscientist Stephanie Mines, a survivor of childhood abuse, police brutality, and dysfunctional relationships, began exploring how the human nervous system finds resilience despite chronic stress and traumatic life events. While earning her doctorate in neuropsychology, she met Mary Iino Burmeister, the master of the Art of Compassion, or Jin Shin Jyutsu. Art of Compassion involves non-invasive touch on body sites similar to acupuncture points.

She then investigated neurodevelopmental processes where she found that subtle touch on these sites, combined with trauma resolution, amplifies neuroresilience, enhances creativity, restores motivation, and heals trauma-related fragmentation and disconnection.
