My Body My Earth

About the Author

Guided by spiritual studies and personal healing, Ruby Gibson brings a compassionate heart to her writing. Ruby is a gifted empath, earth-centered ceremonialist, and certified somatic therapist, specializing in generational reconciliation of suffering for over twenty-five years. A somatic pioneer and seasoned humanitarian living in Colorado, Ruby developed Somatic Archaeology in 1995 and teaches programs nationwide.

Within each body is an archaeological site that holds the details and wisdom of our extraordinary life story, composed of generational, spiritual, and personal experiences. Historical amnesia locks these stories in the body, manifesting as pain, disease, addictions, emotional patterns, and repetitive circumstances. Somatically excavating your personal legend unearths memories of the past that can be reconciled and healed in order to create a new myth-for your body and for your Earth.

Reviews for My Body My Earth

“The body is the reservoir for somatic-based memories of trauma going back many generations. This concept offers a route for healing trauma through a process involving specific breath-work, imagery, aromatherapy and other somatic techniques. My Body, My Earth provides a detailed and eloquent rationale and description for how this remarkable technique works, both as a therapeutic model and a self-help manual. It is a major contribution to the burgeoning literature in the field of somatic psychology.”

Robert Scaer, M.D., author, The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation and Disease, and The Trauma Spectrum: Hidden Wounds and Human Resiliency

“A remarkable incursion into one of the deepest of all mysteries: the hidden memories that are locked into the fibers of our bodies. This book is an impressive and extremely helpful guide to reuniting the conscious and unconscious aspects of the mind.”

Richard Smoley, author of Conscious Love and Inner Christianity

My Body, My Earth is a groundbreaking book in the new field of Somatic Archaeology. A must read for any explorer in the sphere of healing and mind body medicine.”

The Four Insights, and Courageous Dreaming

Ruby Gibson is on the cutting edge of the psychology of generational healing. With new scientific research coming out every day regarding how what happens to us when we are in the womb affects us in adulthood, so too, does Ruby take that another step further into the realm of generational healing. She is really onto something here in her first undertaking, and her personal work with people colors the book from the perspective of someone who has helped people heal from generational trauma. Place this book on your “must read” lists if you are a psychotherapist, or if your personal journey through life has many unanswered questions!
