A journey of self-discovery highlighting key moments and insights from my first Core Energetics workshop, from the embodied feeling of coming back home to realizing that profound positive experiences can be found within ourselves.
Stress is an energy problem. It manifests itself to us on all five levels of human existence (physical body, emotions and feelings, cognitive level, level of will and the spiritual level). Therefore we can address it on each of these five levels.
Do you think it’s possible that your physical issues are related to your mental state and how emotionally fluid you are? Or that your psychological or emotional problem is connected to what is happening in your body? Yes, that is possible! This is what we address in body psychotherapy.
A closed and blocked body directs energy to the brain, while an open and flowing body directs it to the heart!
Polyvagal theory describes the three different parts of our autonomic nervous system and how they relate to our response to stress and threatening situations. Knowing the hierarchy of bodily responses helps us regulate our response to stress.
To be grounded means to have our feet firmly on the ground. In these moments we’re aware of ourselves, others and the moment we’re in. We’re in flow with the current experience, the environment and are in touch with our true feelings.
