Body Mind Integration: An Introductory Workshop
This workshop will introduce the integration of the human personality through deep awareness and grounding of the body. Through experiential exercises we will explore how the personality is directly related to your body, and how the techniques of body psychotherapy can access your energy and create greater self awareness.
What you can expect to learn:
Where in your body you feel chronic tension, pain, or no sensation
How to disengage with excessive mental thoughts
How to release muscular tension
How to breathe fully and deeply
Develop awareness of your negative self (The unconscious part of you that sabotages or destroys happiness)
Cultivate awareness of your capacity to live, love, give, create, and be fully living in your body
To register: Please call: (917).407.9641 or email: integratemindbody@gmail.com to sign up. Please leave your name and contact info and they will get back to you to confirm your spot. Fee is payable by cash or check the day of the workshop.
