BODYWORK GROUP – first of 7

BODYWORK GROUP 1

This is the first of our NEW series of evenings where we will work deeply with the body.
The body is our book of life, all our experiences are imprinted in the body.

To experience our authentic Self we have to be in the body, it is our direct contact with reality.

When we are not connected to our body, when we don’t feel our body, we loose our ground and our connection to reality. We may touch a hot stove and not withdraw our hand, because we are not aware we are in danger. We feel lost, insecure, and unsafe. We don’t have a sense of Self, because we don’t feel our Self. We feel our Self via our body. We feel empty or a sense of being incomplete, and avoid this feeling by looking to fill ourselves up from the outside, with what we call narcissistic supplies.

In the Bodywork evenings that we are starting this evening and continue biweekly on Tuesdays, we will use a variety of techniques to work with our body and the breath inspired by among others Reich, Lowen and Marcher, to ground ourselves in our body, become aware and let go of tension so we can re-experience our body of Bliss. From there is where we feel the sense of Self.

We work with our body according to what happened to us developmentally and structurally, bringing corrective experiences and techniques.
We will work with expression, with safe touch, with the breath, and have space for personal sharing and process in an atmosphere of vulnerability and support.

As we work with our body and come to more relaxation, more flow,  more presence in our body, we also come in touch with the emotional content that impacts our body, and that we have split off.  We will have opportunities to release, and we can begin to let go. Slowly we come back to our natural state as we restore the energy flow in our body, feel our aliveness as well as our solidity, and we reconnect with the sense of Self as we get rooted in our body. We experience once again our body of Bliss, with ease and relaxation.

These evenings will be facilitated by Adhira with Imani, facilitator and trainee of the Essential Psychotherapy Institute.
