Underneath many physical and psychological conditions, a part of us is fervently trying to make its voice heard. Through the integration of energetics, emotions, and the psychology of selves, expert somatic therapist Judith Hendin teaches a direct map for unraveling messages that the body is trying to send.

The focus of this training is on learning the basics of the Conscious Body process. Therapists and coaches will learn to follow the body as a guide to important inner issues. This workshop provides guidelines and case studies that support the professional in incorporating this approach with any other form of consciousness work. Individuals pursuing personal growth and healing are also warmly welcome.

A powerful adjunct to medical treatment, revealing the self behind the symptom may enhance recovery from many ailments, including musculoskeletal conditions, pain, rashes, intestinal problems, insomnia, cancer, and sexual dysfunction.

In this workshop geared for both personal and professional growth, we receive an introduction to this dramatic and transformational path. We learn to:

•Follow the body and meet “shadow” selves that shift our energy and offer us new life.
•Recognize the “gatekeepers” — those cultural and personal selves that protect us so well that they can block our inner work. Gatekeeper work can be applied, not only with to body, but to any issue.
•Recognize the “rational mind” that interprets the body with logic.
•Enter the body-unconscious and discover buried treasure.
•Appreciate the inner child — “the portal to the heart,” who lies beneath many physical problems.
•Release unexpressed emotions.
•Use the kind of touch that fosters healing.

The workshop will include demonstrations and experiential exercises, including movement. With simple symptoms, you can do this work on your own. With serious conditions, a facilitator is recommended.
