For all the reasons people come to seek help, learning to inhabit one's body more fully, with mindful awareness of the sensations and messages they are attempting to show us, greatly enhances the effectiveness in achieving one's goals. We work to live as fully and genuinely in the present as possible, while effectively communicating our thoughts, feelings and sensations based on knowledge of oneself and other. Our cellular memory brings to light the issues we are challenged with and greatly enhances our ability to sense and make choices about the long-held habit patterns that hurt ourselves and others.
My first mentor Ron Kurtz taught that bodies held psychological information - memories, feelings, thinking patterns and their underlying core beliefs. I teach clients to experience their tension and numbness as they speak about life's challenges, learning to release and soothe these painful areas to allow more aliveness to become our baseline of being.
Integrating Eastern with Western philosophies, Kurtz delineated 4 principles of transformation - non-violence, mindfulness, organicity (trusting each person's ability to heal when given right conditions) and unity of mind and body. They inform my working with couples and with many kinds of substance abuse and addictions to this day.
