Moray's method for addressing trauma does not promise a simple cure, but emphasizes a lifelong commitment to continuous practices, chosen because they foster sexual well-being in one's body and in one's lineage. The book guides readers through a three-part journey: starting with preparatory practices that help reconnect with one's body, then moving through ways to deal with sexual trauma, and culminating in practices that savor the aliveness we carry in our bodies. This aliveness has been passed down from our ancestors. \u003ci\u003eTending the Bones\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us to pass this on to our descendants.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Joseph Kramer, PhD, founder of Sexological Bodywork\u003c\/b\u003ePAVINI MORAY has started, failed, and succeeded at many businesses.
