This course is suitable for anyone interested in creating balance in their body-mind,

and is an opportunity to dive into your emotions and their myriad of perceptions and connections;

to better understand self and other; to enable, enhance, encourage and support.

​

Week 1

Birth-Inspire/Inhale-Cells

Is there any part of your life dictated to by a deep ancestral past and if so, where does it reside?

What do you emotionally trust, is there a pattern to it and where do you feel this in your body?

Week 2

Fight-Anger/Frustration-Liver

What are your red-lines that are non-negotiable,

that are unique to you and/or part of your personal beliefs?​

What is the area in your body that you feel is completely adaptable and enjoyable to change? 

Week 3

Flight-Fear/Feeling Vulnerable-Kidneys

What do you believe about your interpretations of events and what do you use to perceive them?

What process do you use to make your interpretations accurate and how do you test this,

through movement, mind, both, other?

Week 4

Freeze-Over thinking/Worry-Spleen

How do you sort facts from assumptions and do these have a place where they reside in your body?

How accurate are your perceptions and what ways do you measure how you know?  

Week 5

Ease-Joy/Happiness-Heart

How much of a truly free choice do you ever make and where in your body does this come from?

Do you have a key fundamental purpose to your journey,

what personal meaning do you assign to that purpose and where in your body does that reside?

Week 6

Release-Sadness/Grief-Lungs

How do you incorporate adaptability and space for change, through movement, mind or both?

How many truly unconscious decisions do you ever make and where in your body does this come from?

Week 7

Death-Legacy/Exhale-Bones

What process do you use for questioning your beliefs, movement, mind, both, other? 

What do you base your meanings and purpose upon and where in your body do you feel this?

​

How do we live amid a universe in constant upheaval when we are programmed to crave certainty?

We are startled by spontaneity, bewildered by change and neophobic.

We attempt to control every aspect of our lives and often that of others.

We are so obsessed with knowing that making a choice or decision becomes the problem.

Now we feel pushed to make a choice, pushed to look deep inside, forced to take on board the new.

What has the pandemic revealed about the human condition and how we lived our lives before?

What does it say about society at large and each of us in particular?

What if anything needs to change, whilst being aware that the only constant is change.

This is an opportunity to come to terms with ourselves.

To our responses to uncertainty and the little control we have always had. With nearly everyone’s life upended and fortunes changed, one of the only things we can control is how we choose to navigate,

what we pay attention to and why; and how we define and attach meaning to those things. 

To arrive at a state of serenity we must learn not only to accept but also know when to reject.

Solving the paradox of acceptance of what is,

with the power of knowledge of doing something about what does not work.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms or books that are written in a foreign tongue. Live the questions now, and perhaps, gradually, without noticing it, you will live some distant day into the answer.” Rainer Maria Rilke

If we use this time to live the questions, look at our patterns and open our imagination, we can reach more fruitful answers to give our lives, those we love and humanity, a new orientation.
