For 2,500 years, the wisdom teachings of the East have utilized what their texts refer to as "skillful methods" for the study and transformation of the mind/body. This leads to clarity of mind, breakthrough thinking, peak performance, spaciousness of self, greater wisdom, and compassion. Discover how you can unlock your creative self to achieve the clarity and insight to profoundly transform your life. Using methods from mindfulness practices, creative thinking, Ericksonian Mind-Body Healing, Somatic Experiencing and non-dual teachings, participants will learn skills to release and heal trauma and afflictive emotions. We will also incorporate the techniques of deep music and guided imagery, natural mind/body healing rhythms, yogic exercises, creative visualizations, and somatic breathing methods to develop a mindful brain, trust with our unconscious and regulate our mind/body states.
