In Sacred Integration, Dr. Shaleen Kendrick weaves together neuroscience, liberation theology, and embodied spirituality to reveal what our ancient wisdom stories always knew: we are designed for wholeness. Not the kind you earn through right belief or perfect behavior, but the kind wired into your three neural centers--Mind, Heart, and Gut--waiting to be reconnected.
Through her development of Neuro-Relational Integration(TM) theory, Kendrick brings neuroscience, polyvagal theory, and gut-brain research together with theology for liberation, revealing radical reclamation of salvation as process, spirituality as birthright, and sacred stories as invitations to stop splitting ourselves apart.
In this book familiar ancient narratives come alive in unexpected ways--and deeply felt in the body: through the woman at the well we experience nervous system restoration and re-set; Eve's choice becomes synaptic expansion rather than sin, and a hemorrhaging woman claims healing by trusting her own body over religious gatekeepers.
For those healing from religious trauma. For seekers holding multiple truths that don't fit in one container. For anyone exhausted from fragmenting themselves to survive workplaces, families, and faith communities that demand you show up in pieces. Sacred Integration offers the science, the stories, the theological wisdom to finally come back together.
