“The process of getting in touch with the body is never completed.Being in touch is not a state of perfection but of aliveness.”– Alexander Lowen, M.D.
The Lowen Foundation states:“The goal of therapy is more than the absence of symptoms – it is feeling aliveness, getting a taste of pleasure, joy, love, and taking things more easily – it is vibrant health.”
What are The Benefits of Including Expression Work in Ones Embodied Mindfulness Practices, Talk Therapy Or Coaching Efforts
We help individual clients, couples, groups or organizations to embody and express themselves in relation to others for more effective connections, collaborations and co-creation. The benefits of this work include:
- Deeper mind-body integration and wisdom
- Cultivating stronger intuition and non-linear awareness
- Greater empathy and less defensiveness
- Gain confidence in ones ability to have their emotions and still cope with circumstances
- Experience greater freedom and sense of safety to share their truth in their relationships
- Expanded means of “communication” – non-verbal and pre-rational implicit states
- Embodiment supports open expression and validation of restorative emotions
- Emobidment helps build the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices
- In couples work, embodiment brings partners closer
- It allows for an integration of disowned parts of our psyche
- Embodiment creates sensory, respiratory, circulatory and nervous system integration as well
- In couples work, embodiment supports the individual in separating from their childhood needs which get transferred onto a spouse
- One’s Spirit feels better and more alive from having expressed itself; along with breaking free from one’s learned helplessness
- Trauma loses its hold on oneself when one has the freedom to express their feelings in the presence of those who can stay with them.
