WINNER, Nautilus Book Award, 2018, Personal Growth and Self Help
 In The Bones &amp; Breath, L.R. Heartsong asserts that we each have a unique gift to bring to the world and through embodying the soul--primarily through our expanded, physical senses--we undertake a profound, transpersonal journey; one that serves humanity and the earth at a crucial phase of our collective evolution. Our life task is not to transcend the body but to descend into the bones and breath, to there discover the gift one's soul has to offer to the 'more-than-human' world. Heartsong seeks to bring men out of their heads and down into the bodysoul, to claim their personal authenticity as a wild soul.
Eros is the key. Something much bigger than romantic love, Eros is the elemental force of allurement that plays a pivotal role in our evolution as conscious beings and pulls us towards our destiny. The Sacred Masculine is an important archetype now making a much needed return to assist humanity, as mankind shifts from being the single most destructive force on the planet to a life-sustaining and interconnected one. Interwoven with personal stories, 7 key Soul Skills and embodiment exercises, The Bones and Breath is part inspirational narrative, part 'how to' manual for a soul-centered life."
Heartsong is also the author of To Kneel and Kiss the Earth: Inspiration from the Soul Artist Journal.
