Discussing the idea with reference to accounts of awakening in esoteric literature, as well as contemporary psychological methods, Living Space: Openness and Freedom through Spatial Awareness proposes that a common denominator in both physical and emotional healing is the creation of more perceptual and conscious space and that an easier and more spacious awareness can be achieved by relatively simple changes to the way we pay attention. These ideas have implications for the way we balance body, mind and spirit.

Paul Holman is a widely read doctor with 40 years’ experience in psychiatry and psychotherapy. In this erudite book he explores the nature of spatial awareness as a means of experiencing greater openness and freedom and therefore balance. The journey begins with sensing, seeing and paying attention, starting with the body and moving on to the mind. This spaciousness rises within the context of the complementarity of connection/separation, which are very differently experienced by extroverts and introverts. We can all make space to remember, stop, centre, let go and relax but we often forget to do so..............This is a rich tapestry of exploration into an important topic. ~ David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer
In this unique and accessible work, Paul Holman invites us to become aware of space within, around and beyond us. Space, he argues, is a primary resource for psychological transformation and spiritual awakening. Offering examples from numerous contexts, including science and personal testimony, he shows how altering our spatial awareness can open us to new visions of reality. This generous book is packed with insights for personal and clinical use. ~ David Tacey, Emeritus Professor, author of The Spirituality Revolution
