What does your womb mean to you? How do you relate to her and nurture your connection? What if you were invited to tune into her movement and join her dance? What if our journey of homecoming is about learning to perceive the anatomy of our very selves (not a textbook!) through the lens of our sensual experience? I am thrilled to welcome Anja Gysin back onto the podcast. Anja is a dancer, choreographer, and Somatic Movement Educator in Body-Mind Centering. She has been teaching movement and dance as a healing force for over 25 years. In both her artistic practice and teaching, Anja centers the nature of the human being, creating space for the unfolding of the individual while also inviting a connection to the spirit that binds us all. Truly, a medicine dancer!In our conversation, we explore both of our embodied womb journeys. The womb is our first physical home, a deep connection to our inner world, a symbol of our dreams, and what we wish to birth into the world. It is a space of transformation, a source of life, and a place of feminine healing.In this episode, we discuss:* Anja's personal womb journey and how she continues to re-story her connection to her womb through movement and dance. She shares her experience with the menstrual cup, her first encounter with the magic of women's circles in Canada, and the transformative experience of giving birth to her children.* The meaning of both our physical womb and the social womb. Anja talks about why womb work is world work and peace work, and why she feels the term "feminine awakening" doesn't resonate — were we ever really asleep?* How dance and movement can support us in reconnecting with and reclaiming our wombs. Through movement and dance, we give the womb life of her own. Anja shares how she works with women, meeting their pain and suffering, and helping them transform these into joy and a powerful "YES" to their bodies.Enjoy!Receive my free mini course: From body shame and disconnect to joy and into the fullness of your creative power: - www.flurinathali.com/ ---The Soft Rebellion Podcast is created and hosted by Flurina Dominique Thali.

Ooof  - this week's episode left us tingling with enthusiasm and curiosity about life and all its wonder, and I am confident it will inspire you too.  We got to korero with the beautiful Mari Halina Colbert - yoga teacher and Embodied Flow™ teacher trainer, with trainings and specialisations in Somatics, Biomechanics, Humanistic psychology, Hakomi Psychotherapy, Body Mind Centering, and Trauma-sensitive yoga.  We explore the world of non dual tantra in a very relatable and understandable way, exploring the concept that we are all unique expressions of the oneness/the wholeness/the divine.  We discuss how the body can be used as a vehicle for awakening, as a tool for exploration, and how we can use our experience within our body to serve the greater good. Mari shared the concept of choosing to embody the mystery of this human experience, over trying to demystify it.  There is so much in this - and it all feels so rich and beautiful and applicable.  We really hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do please share it with a friend or two, and help us to spread the love!

For over forty-five years I was a movement educator, dancer and choreographer devoted to the exploration of the expression of the mind through the body. I graduated from the Juilliard School in 1971 and my first professional job was working in dance pioneer Anna Sokolow's Players' Projects. I continued to dance and perform professionally until 1995. My creative work as a choreographer and dancer always focused on how movement could fully express the states and conditions of the mind and heart. The objectification of movement has never been my interest; rather my concerns were always about excavating and exposing the roots of the subjectiveexperience through my work. As a director of two dance companies and an independentchoreographer I received numerous grants from private foundations, the states of Indiana and Minnesota and a National Endowment for the Arts Choreography Fellowship. I was a dance teacher throughout my dance career and taught all over the United States and Canada. I was on the faculty at the University of Minnesota from 1980 –1988 and then again from 1996 through 2019.In 1990 I began my transition from dancer, choreographer and dance teacher to body-worker and movement educator. I graduated from the School for Body-Mind Centering ® in 1994 and became a Certified Practitioner and Registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator. As a bodyworker and movement educator I help individuals discover and use the body's intelligence as they journey towards health and balance. My practice served women and men who wanted to find fuller physical presence, compassion for themselves and freedom from movement or behavioral patterns that are recapitulations of past trauma. Although much of my practice concerned psychotherapeutic application, I also worked with individuals (lots of dancers)recovering from physical injury, surgery or living with chronic pain. A small but important part of my practice included children who had developmental challenges.An important dimension of my work in the world was and is my ongoing practice in Buddhist mindfulness meditation. I integrated the methodology of mindfulness both in my private practice and in my coursework at the University. Teaching clients and students how to clarify the direct experience of mental activity and body sensations through awareness lead to a much fuller embodied presence in the here and now, whether that was dancing, performing or just living your life.I began teaching Body-Mind Centering at the University of Minnesota in 1996 first at the introductory level and advanced levels. These courses included an Introduction to Body-Mind Centering, graduate level courses covering a five-semester series, (the graduate level courses in Body-Mind Centering were discontinued in 2009 due to draconian budget cuts that affected the entire University) and The Articulate Body, a required course for Dance Majors enrolled in the BFA program.In 2018 I retired from private practice and then in 2019 I taught my last class at the UM, mostly due to hearing loss and a reluctance to do so much driving. I have lived in the country north of Elk River for over twenty-five years, am an avid gardener with a large vegetable patch, perennial gardens and borders, growing food and flowers. I have three children, nine grandchildren and much beauty in my life for which I am deeply grateful.

My special guest for this episode is Josephine Carmela, an award-winning, transformational Empowerment & Relationship Mentor. For the past 12 years, she's been helping heart-based entrepreneurs, coaches, and healers achieve breakthroughs to experience healthier love, harmony, and fulfillment. Josephine is a Mind/Body Therapeutic coach, certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Coach, Time Line Therapy™ Practitioner, and Relationship Mentor. She follows principles of somatic psychology for a “body-mind-spirit-emotion” holistic approach to enable transformation for her clients, drawing on her training in multiple disciplines including Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method, Dance Movement Therapy, Body Mind Centering, Kinetic Awareness, and Relational modalities.  In 2016, she co-authored a book with New York Times Bestselling Authors Marci Shimoff, Chris and Janet Attwood, and appears in the Living Legacy Project honoring exceptional Canadian women. She is also the founder of AlignedFEMME which helps women embody conscious communication, emotional resilience, and empowered masculine/feminine dynamics. Josephine is on a mission to help women create healthier SELF-love and relationships that work.  In this conversation, we touch on: how women are conditioned to give their power away (and what that often looks like) common patterns of undervaluing, minimizing, and shrinking ourselves to please others or avoid conflict how we can lose our sense of identity in relationships, and how to begin getting back in touch with your true self, your needs, and your desires what "owning and speaking your SACRED YES" really means Reserve your spot in Josephine's upcoming 5-week immersive program:  https://josephine-auciello.mykajabi.com/a/2147829188/yrF289xn To connect with her online, go to https://josephinecarmela.com or https://instagram.com/josephinecarmela To connect with me (Josephine Hardman!), visit https://josephinehardman.com Thank you for being here, and please keep doing your inner work!

Yes, MOVEMENT is our BIRTH RIGHT.  What if your life would be a DANCE? If there was no beginning and no end but your whole being yielding into the expression of your body?  I am so touched and grateful to share this episode with you. I had such an organic and moving conversation filled with breath and joy with Anja Gysin. We talked about movement, touch and healing on such a deep level, from such an embodied perspective that … it is hard to describe it in words - go ahead, listen, let it fill all your cells, let it move you! Few words about Anja. Anja was born in Solothurn in Switzerland and is certified as a movement-teacher-and therapist, Open Floor teacher, dancer, choreographer, and Somatic Movement Educator in Body-Mind Centering. She teaches movement and dance as a healing force, for 25 years. Since 2012 she has led her own Dance Company. In her artistic as well as in her teaching approach, the nature of human being within is in the focus. So she gives room for the unfolding of the individual and at the same time space for the opening to the spirit that connects everything.  In this conversation with Anja, we talked about …  Her journey which led her from practicing dance as performance focusing on aesthetics and shapes to what she calls «Medicine dancer» working in the service for healing. That movement IS our birth right! How we can use our breath to get in touch with our inner and outer nature … … and why it is so potent to allow ourselves to be touched - physically and emotionally. What for the two of us are "key ingredients" for healing …  … and how we can all find our unique resources to nurture the ground for healing. How life is an invitation to remember who we truly are - and have always been! I am looking forward reading your thoughts and comments about it on instagram or Facebook or any podcast platform you are listening from at the moment, tell me what did you take from this episode and how did it inspire your path and journey. I would be delighted to hear from you what is your unique resource you engage with, to rejuvenate, to feel safe, to be with you - let us all inspire each other and share - what support you might support him or her as well.  More information about Anja`s work: www.medizintaenzerin.ch To leave any comments and to get in touch with me, follow me on Facebook or instagram, or visit my webpage www.flurinathali.com  Credits: Intro/outro music – ‘Hymn for Jim' by Aspyrian; Robin Porter – saxophone, Jack Gillen – guitar, Matt Parkinson – drums, composed by Robin Porter, listen to the full track here Graphic: Annina Thali, for more information click here Mix engineer: Jack Gillen, for more information click here

This week we are unpacking Dopamine! This is a term that gets thrown around a lot these days and this episode is devoted to the continued exploration of understanding how our brains and bodies work in conscious and unconscious ways. Inside, we learn about what dopamine is, where it is, what it does, and how that might play out in our lives. Part of the shadow work experience is first learning to be aware of ourselves and our many systems, before we can take further steps. Once we are more cognizant of ourselves, next comes learning to show ourselves compassion for our humanness and starting on the path of making necessary shifts.  Please like, subscribed, leave a review, and SHARE!

One would assume that yoga classes (where we do asanas, or postures) should be embodied. Given the deep spiritual roots of yoga from various Indian philosophies & teachers, you'd expect yoga to be something that bought you deeper into inhabiting and expressing yourself fully (my definition of embodiment).  Except I frequently find myself in yoga classes lacking that resonance.  Perhaps they are more focused on precise asanas with increasing complexity, or a workout to sweat. Either way, modern western yoga (asana) classes as I experience them sometimes ≠ embodied. In 2020 (or there about's) one of our graduate Feminine Embodiment Coaches Megan Hart mentioned to me she'd been studying Embodied Flow, which was “so much like Feminine Embodiment Coach, but in yoga form” I was VERY interested…. And today, finally, I've spoken with the founder of this beautiful embodied movement method. Meet Tara Judelle, the creator of Embodied Flow Yoga - a school of somatics, movement, and yoga based in non-dual tantric philosophy and humanistic psychology. She  has facilitated yoga spaces internationally for the over 20 years. She is the creator of Embodied Flow Yoga - a school of somatics, movement , and yoga based in non-dual tantric philosophy and humanistic psychology.  She is dedicated to facilitating  journeys that bring people into freedom and agency in the body-mind. Today's podcast is my favourite so far in our Season 8 Embodied Movement Series. While I've relished every conversation so far, this conversation with Tara holds a special place in my heart. Perhaps it's because we're both in cross-cultural relationships (Tara splits her time between US/Greece & travel for her teaching/retreats), or perhaps it's because Tara weaves so much deep knowledge & diverse philosophy into all she shares. Either way, Tara is a woman after my own heart (abet, doing it a very different way) and it's a joy to bring this conversation about Embodied Flow to you today! In this episode, we discuss: How Tara's traditional yoga-asana practice evolved by following the question “how do I become a liberated, embodied being?” Shouldn't all yoga (asana) classes be embodied? Tara shares with us some historical context of asana's evolution & migration to the West, and how that's shaped the practice Tara's journey from traditional yoga teacher, to creator of Embodied Flow, a meditation in motion, on & off the mat. Input/Output balances. We speak about balancing the vast qualities of data we receive in a day & shifting that data from a vast imaginal field, through the body as a way to reduce anxiety.   Resources mentioned in this podcast: Embodied Flow - Find a class, teacher or training Body Mind Centering, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen The Rise of Superman: Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance Steven Kotler Feminine Embodiment Coaching - an emotional embodiment & vulnerability-based professional training for coaches Find a Feminine Embodiment Coach in our Professional Directory School of Embodied Arts Leave a podcast review on iTunes here Thought or reflection to share?

From 'Best of the Embodiment Conference'.  A conversation with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and Don Hanlon Johnson - not to be missed.  Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) is an integrated approach to transformative experience through movement re-education and hands-on repatterning. Developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, it is an experiential study based on the embodiment and application of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical, and developmental principles, and utilizes movement, touch, voice, and consciousness. This study leads to an understanding of how the mind is expressed through the body and the body through the mind. Body-Mind Centering® has an almost unlimited number wide areas of application. It is currently being used by people in movement, dance, yoga, bodywork, physical and occupational therapy, psychotherapy, child development, education, voice, music, art, meditation, athletics, and other body-mind disciplines. Please visit the Body-Mind Centering® website for more information. Bonnie's Bio  Bonnie is a movement artist, researcher, educator, and therapist, and the developer of the Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) approach to movement, the body, and consciousness. For over 50 years, I've been exploring the anatomical, embryological, and developmental foundations of movement and how they relate to our psychophysical processes and wellbeing. Don's Bio I have spent nearly half a century studying how transformative body practices can enhance personal and social change, and how they can impair it. I came to these practices out of a study of philosophy, which luminously articulates the disastrous social and personal results of the mind/body split enbedded in mainstream thinking and institution-building. I have tried to find methods for healing these splits in the academic world of writing, pedagogy, and research; in the personal realm of self-cultivation; and in the larger world of social change. At the deepest level, I look to these practices as a source of a spirituality grounded in the flesh of human yearning. My work is centered in the graduate degree programs in Somatics at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.  

Diane Elliot was born in Chicago and grew up in the north suburbs. Trained in dance from an early age, she received extensive training in dance and theatre at New Trier High School in Winnetka and in 1971 graduated summa cum laude, phi beta kappa from the University of Michigan, with a major in American Arts. For the next 25 years, Diane enjoyed a varied career in dance and theatre, studying with Alwin Nikolais and Murry Louis, Nancy Meehan and Finis Jung in New York City; performing and touring from 1972-77 with New York-based Phyllis Lamhut Dance Company; and producing her own work in New York in such venues as The Dance Gallery, the Theatre of Riverside Church, and Dance Theatre Workshop, as well as across the country.  From 1979-82 she taught at the Centre National de Danse Contemporaine in Angers, France, and performed with La Manivelle throughout Alsace. In 1981 Diane relocated to Minneapolis, where she taught at the University of Minnesota as a guest artist and then joined MICA (the Minnesota Independent Choreographer's Alliance, later the Minnesota DanceAlliance). For a number of years, she edited MICA's newsletter and worked in the office. During her time in New York and Minnesota, Diane created over 30 dances, including commissions for the Ft. Wayne Dance Collective, The Yard, Dance Caravan, the Carolina Dancers, Zenon Dance Company, the New Dance Ensemble, and the Jerome Foundation, as well serving as choreographer for several productions at the Illusion Theatre and the Guthrie Lab production of Cymbeline. Her work was recognized with grants from the McKnight Foundation, the Minnesota State Arts Board Grants, Artslink, and the Jerome Foundation. Beginning in 1983, Diane trained in the somatic modality Body-Mind Centering® with its founder, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, and for some 30 years maintained a private practice in somatic therapy and taught in the School for Body-Mind Centering's training programs. In 1990 she co-founded the Women's PerformanceProject, which explored the healing potential of movement-based performance in a series of five evening-length performances, including Bloodroot and Labyrinth. In 1998 Diane relocated to California and in 2000 matriculated at the Academy for Jewish Religion, California, in Los Angeles. Ordained as a rabbi in 2006, Diane has served communities in the Bay Area. As a Program Director for the ALEPH Alliance for Jewish Renewal, she created and directed the Embodying Spirit, En-spiriting Body training, a residential retreat program in embodied Jewish spiritual leadership. She currently teaches independently; serves as a spiritual director; is on the faculty of Taproot, a spiritual training program for Jewish activists, artists, and, and changemakers; and is a founding member and on the advisory council of the Embodied Jewish Wisdom Network. Diane is the author of three books of poetry, most recently The Voice isMovement (Hakodesh Press, 2020).

Lisa Petersen, somatics innovator and yoga teacher, talks with J about the cross pollination of somatic movement modalities and traditional yoga. They discuss her training at Vivekenanda Kendra, defining a felt inner sense experience, Body Mind Centering and Hanna Somatics, resetting the nervous system, pandiculation instead of stretching, deliberately simplified spaces, strategies for changing underlying patterns, form and finding newness, radiating from the fluidic pathways of our earliest being, and discovering divinity.   To subscribe and support the show… GET PREMIUM.   Check out J's other podcast… J.

Sherry Saterstrom helped shape the life of the dance program at St. Olaf College from the late 1960's when she was a student there. A twist of fate brought her back as a guest artist and teacher after completing a Master's Degree in Dance/Humanities at Arizona State University. Over the years her fascination with invention yielded classes such as The Body Movable, Power Play, The Beat Goes On, Movement as a Metaphor, Improvisation as Practice and Performance. In 2000 with a growing passion for improvisation in movement technique and performance, she invented The Improvisation Ensemble. This group continued to re-invent itself with each new season of possibility.Between1978-84 Sherry created and co-directed Dance Co'Motion, a modern dance company whose work was focused in the Artist-in-Residence program of the National Endowment for the Arts. Over the years she enjoyed performing with other dance artists--- Maria Cheng and Dancers, Paula Mann, Bill T. Jones, Lovice Weller, Deborah Hay, Body Cartography---and learning from their artistic visions.As a seeker of new adventures in 2001 Sherry developed a workshop, ”Dance in the Rainforest” at a biological field station in the rainforest of Costa Rica. The workshop intended to pull dancers and movement artists out of their more controlled environments and challenge their notions of dance. It aimed for personal and artistic discovery through navigating unfamiliar terrain. Since 1984 Sherry has focused her training in the area of body-mind studies as it relates to movement, dance and the learning process. She is a certified Body-Mind Centering practitioner and includes meditation, Authentic Movement, yoga, Gaga and movement improvisation in her ongoing physical practice. Her most recent fascination is with the world of fitness and its relationship to her fundamental passion for all things physical.

On today's show, I talk with Jeanne Feeney about movement, especially during the postpartum period, when the primary objective seems to be survival itself. Body-Mind Centering is a comprehensive educational and therapeutic approach to health and healing, with a wide range of benefits.  Using a dynamic blend of movement, touch, sound, and guided imagery, one can learn to release the stress, fear, aches and pains, limiting habits and perceptions that prevent us from being our "best selves." Jeanne Feeney is a dancer, choreographer and movement therapist, and has been a certified practitioner of Body-Mind Centering™ since 1989. She runs the Studio at Squid Row in Santa Cruz, CA, where she shares her passion for movement, working with adults and children as they navigate the changes of life, in their bodies.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Have you ever felt like your patterns with food are all you have ever known? Like you can't remember a time when you weren't doing the eating behaviors that you would love to change?The Satisfaction Cycle is a concept that comes from Body Mind Centering and has impacted the field of Somatic Psychology. It describes how our developmental movement patterns influence our actions and sense of self in the world. These developmental movement patterns were all important ways that you as a baby experienced the world through your body. Any of these movement patterns that innately occur can get interrupted by your home life, traumatic experiences, and life situations.In this week's episode, I dive into what these developmental patterns are and what can happen in your relationship with food if any one of these is interrupted. You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-your-developmental-stages-and-current-food-habits-are-connectedAs a reminder, my Intro to Somatic Eating™ mini course is on sale for 50% off until midnight marking the Summer Solstice Tuesday June 21st. Somatic Eating™ is my life's work. It is a body-oriented, sensation focused therapeutic approach to eating. This approach facilitates a decrease in patterns of emotional eating, binge eating, chronic dieting, binge-restrict cycle, and body image concerns. This mini course will provide you with three Somatic Eating™ tools that will begin to shift your relationship with food to one that feels more regulating, grounding, and connecting. "Wonderful mini (huge) course. I LOVED it.

Tara Judelle is a world renowned yoga facilitator moved by bringing humans into their innate sense of freedom and purpose. After 30 years experimenting in all forms of movement, Tara co-created the School of Embodied Flow™ in 2014, making her one of the first yoga teachers to bring the work of Body Mind Centering and Tantra together.  From a background in literature, film writing, directing and dance, Tara brings students on a journey of discovery of their numinous self through laughter, meditation, embodiment, movement & inquiry.Tara was one of the first five teachers on the platform called Yogaglo which was one of the first online yoga platforms (launching in 2009).  Her deepest inquiry is how to bring the felt sense of capital S self into the felt sense of our embodiment to facilitate awakening. She is also interested in using the body as a gateway into flow states, and how to bring the meditative awareness into open eyed interactive awareness.  Teaching reciprocity and yielding is one of the things closest to her heart. Recently she has been studying more somatic psychology and Internal Family Systems, and looking at how the energy of what we could call Core Self radiates as a frequency that tends to heal/melt held patterns or parts.  "I suppose if I could do anything in the world it would be to help humans to remember their creative, dynamic felt sense of Self energy and to melt the masks that we have learned to take on.

On effectiveness, getting unstuck, the beauty of simple, action and habits… Years ago, when I was still training for my Body-Mind-Centering* certification, at some point we were asked to participate in an exercise, that when my teachers explained, it, I felt like:”Duh, is it really why I’m paying you hundreds of Euros a day?” Because it was so simple. It sounded just stupid and ineffective. (*Body-Mind centering is a somatic movement and touch practice) It turns out this exercise gave me a major breakthrough, and I was shocked afterwards about how simple and quick it was, versus the value that I got from it in terms of what I learned. I guess that day I got the same look on my face that I see now and then on the face of my coaching clients, when they give me the “too good to be true” look. Our rational minds love complex solutions, because they look somehow more serious, more legit. Seeing all these steps, the logical progression, it looks reassuring. But reassuring for the mind doesn't mean that we will act on it more easily. Again, and again, and again, both in my personal life and in my professional life in coaching sessions with my clients, I am reminded that simple it what is what helps us move. And that's exactly what we are exploring in this episode. ⚠ ⇒ click here for the SHOWNOTES: https://www.integrallyalive.com/stuck-use-the-simple-is-effective-solution-integrally-alive-podcast And hop on my socials to share your thoughts, discoveries...

As we’re emerging from lockdown, we’ll be experiencing a newfound sense of connection to each other after a prolonged period of disconnection. How do we navigate this? How do we find ways to more authentically connect to each other in our workplaces and beyond? In this episode, I share a Body-Mind Centering framework that helps us understand the importance of establishing safety and comfort before we can genuinely connect to and bond with each other. We have the opportunity create a new paradigm if we’re willing to do the work to truly show up and connect.

Dans cette émission, vous découvrirez qu’en général, les femmes - et les hommes - croient être elles-mêmes mais elles ne « sont » pas souvent parce qu’elles ne vivent pas « qui » elles sont. Mon invitée, Patricia Olive, d’abord danseuse puis chorégraphe, est praticienne en Body Mind Centering et accompagne les femmes en passant par le corps et le mouvement pour qu’elles puissent s’épanouir pleinement. Notre corps nous fait parfois défaut, nous pouvons avoir l’impression qu’il nous trahit. Alors, nous avons tendance à nous en détourner pour nous réfugier dans des ruminations, qui sont sources d’anxiété. En bougeant notre corps, nous pouvons délier et apaiser notre esprit.

The conversation: How might attention be considered as a connecting point between contemporary dance practice and Craniosacral Biodynamics? With this question in mind, Michaela invites guest Laressa Dickey to speak about the points of overlap she has found between working with language, movement and in therapeutic settings. Together they discuss some of the basic and more complex principles fundamental to Craniosacral Biodynamics, beginning to explore more broadly the ways that this work can inform our sense of ourselves both in life and as applied to movement-based artistic practice. They also discuss:- interdisciplinary artistic practice: tensions/mysteries between forms as generative gaps- compositional resonance between dance and creative writing- rethinking the traditional client-practitioner relationship- improvisationInterviewee: Laressa Dickey's artistic work lands in the fields of writing, movement/performance, and bodywork. She has published four books of poems as well as several chapbooks. Together with sound artist Andrea Steves, Dickey published RADIO GRAVEYARD ORBIT (Sming Sming), a speculative artist's book about space junk. Her collaborative installation with Ali Gharavi, How to Pass Time with No Reference, was included in the Bergen Assembly 2019. Along with Magdalena Freudenschuss, she was commissioned by Bergen Assembly to create a series of feminist essays on the politics of care, entitled: Re:assembling Emotional Labor: On the Politics of Care. Since 2005, she's been using movement improvisation and performance to inform her writing practice, and vice versa. Her bodywork is influenced by Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Body Mind Centering studies, Amerta Movement and an attuned, empathetic imagination.Interviewer: Michaela Gerussi is a Canadian dance artist based between Tkaronto (Toronto, Canada) and London, UK. Michaela's dance practice is nourished by her inquiry into the nervous system, interoception and attunement, in relation to her studies in Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy. Her work considers shifting relationships between people, places and materials, layering subtle perceptual detail with a functional, dynamic approach to movement. Her collaborative performances, intermedia and site-specific works have been presented in Montreal (QC), Toronto (ON), Sherbrooke (QC), Buffalo (NY) and Berlin (DE). She is currently completing an MFA in Creative Practice, based in London at Trinity Laban and Independent dance.Read more:- Suprapto Suryodarmo and Amerta Movement (https://www.amertamovement.co.uk/)- Bettina Mainz (http://www.bettinamainz.de/)- Body Mind Centering (https://www.bodymindcentering.com/)- Deep Listening, founded by composer Pauline Oliveros (https://deeplistening.org/)- Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy in the UK http://www.cranio.co.uk/Keywords:Paula Mann, Bebe Miller, Joe Goode, Patricia Brown, Myung-Mi Kim, Fanny Howe, Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy, contemporary dance practice, somatic practice, Body Mind Centering, Laressa Dickey, writing

He has been teaching in schools of massage therapy and programs of somatic training since 1990 and has had the good fortune to teach BMC and somatic practices throughout the US and internationally in Europe, Canada, China, and Taiwan.Bob is a co-founder of Kinesthetic Learning Center in Durham, NC and has been on faculty teaching and coordinating the BMC Somatic Movement Educator (SME) and Practitioner certification programs since 2007. He is coordinator of SME courses for Esprit en Mouvement in Montreal, Canada and is Co-director of the SME program in Taitung, Taiwan.He is offering courses that bring together qigong and embryology, a time in healing earliest experiences that can be very fruitful. I wrote about this saying, Sometimes You Gotta Go Back To Go Forward, a saying that Bob shared with me from his teacher, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. The embryological movement sequences he teaches allow us to go back before the trauma and fully embody our whole selves. His healing work that combines energy, movement, ancient tradition and embryology is a wonderful mix that is healing and stimulating.

She follows in the tradition of R.D. Laing through her mentor, Andrew Feldmar—whose only approach is to suspend any protocol and labels, and to respectfully follow the patient who is entrusted to guide his or her own life. Her techniques are also influenced by Osteopathy, Body-Mind Centering, and her time serving the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, as well as by her years in The Orphan Wisdom School in Ontario, Canada, and studying with Dr. and Elder, Malidoma Some.

Con Tarina Quelho, conversamos sobre este método de educación somática.Tarina como bailarina y actriz ha vivido este proceso creativo de aprender a encontrarse y reconocerse a sí misma y a otros a través de la exploración del cuerpo.Conduce: Victoria Molina

Questa settimana abbiamo incontrato Maria Martinez Peñalba, 55 anni, “Sono Insegnante e operatrice di Body-Mind Centering, educatrice del Movimento Somatico, coreografa, danzatrice, insegnante di Yoga e Danza, principalmente interessata alle tradizioni del medioriente. Filosofa.”

Cathy Courtenay is a Conscious Relating Coach who brings her heart and listening skills to everything that she does, whether it’s dance or Body-Mind Centering. She is a true gift to the relational world, and through leading the Art of Circling, Cathy cultivates a safe space for people where they can stand in their truth and experience what is real for them. Responding to life’s call to find truth, Cathy is committed to a mission of helping uplift humanity and develop profound compassion and empathy in the world.  In this episode, Cathy and I explore and demonstrate the art of circling and how it can cultivate relational skills between couples. We discuss how society has conditioned us to be solutions-oriented and how we tend to be uncomfortable with simply being present for another person. We describe the different kinds of noticing and illustrate how we make assumptions on or judge our experiences. We also underscore the role of curiosity in practicing the art of circling and detail how couples can establish circling as a daily practice.   “The more curiosity you can bring in, the greater the ability there will be for more understanding, connection, and intimacy.” - Cathy Courtenay   This week on Relationships! Let’s Talk About It: The art of circling and how it can help couples develop relational skills The importance of authentic communication between couples amid the pandemic How circling can help us sit with our experiences, whether they’re good or challenging Our tendency to correct and fix people in contrast to just being present with them Demonstrating two exercises in the art of circling The importance of expanding and practicing our emotional vocabulary Practicing the art of circling without the need to solve a problem or arrive at a goal The two different types of noticing and what it means to observe without judgment Falling into the blame game when we feel shame and why we need to own our experiences Establishing the practice of circling as a daily habit Why it can be challenging for some people to practice the art of circling   Related Content: What Makes A Relationship Worth Doing the Hard Work Difficult Conversations Falling in Love Helping Men Learn to Connect with Women   Resources Mentioned: Book: Rising Strong: How the Ability to Reset Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead by Brene Brown   Connect with Cathy Courtenay: Cathy Courtenay Website Cathy Courtenay on Facebook   Let’s Talk About It!

Movement is life. If we go to all life forms, there's movement even breathing in the cells of our bodies -- or in multi-celled creatures -- there’s always movement and vibration and the movement of fluid. It’s through movement that we meet the world and the world meets us, and we have a chance to interact and grow. -- Mariko TanabeThis conversation has been a long time in coming with Mariko Tanabe, Body Mind Centering Faculty and Program Director of Esprit en Mouvement in Montreal.

When you don’t have access to therapeutic touch, using your own touch can build immunity, and can create calm and healing. Emma Destrubé, acupuncturist, herbalist and somatic therapist, tells us how to use acupressure points and self-soothing touch to take care of our own health, wellbeing, and sense of connection. Find out more at emmadestrube.com Emma Destrubé is a board-certified, licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and is a registered somatic movement therapist/educator. Emma approaches her work with the belief that change is always possible, and that given the right context, support, and nourishment, every body has the potential to thrive. After studying at McGill University in Montreal, she relocated to Los Angeles to study somatic movement, including Continuum, Body-Mind Centering, and Taoist meditation and internal cultivation practices. She apprenticed under Emilie Conrad, somatic visionary and pioneer of the internal movement practice Continuum. As a Continuum teacher, Emma offers classes and workshops around the world, and integrates this work into her treatment strategy where applicable. Emma's immersive dedication to the path of internal cultivation led her to study Chinese medicine at Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine, where she graduated summa cum laude with concentrations in classical acupuncture and Korean Nei-Jing style. Emma has practiced acupuncture at the Venice Family Clinic Integrative Medicine Chronic Pain Program, at Being Alive HIV/AIDS Clinic, at the Healthy Athletes Center at the 2015 Special Olympics World Games. Emma works and teaches internationally, and regularly offers in-depth healing intensives, workshops, and home visits in Los Angeles, CA, and runs a private practice in Midtown Atlanta, GA, Five Rivers Holistic. Outside of the acupuncture and movement studios, Emma is a writer and visual artist, and enjoys time in nature.

In this episode, recorded in the midst of a global pandemic, we explore, with such tenderness and fierceness, what it means to be in the middle of what is here. Susan talks about mutual aid initiatives as "collective nervous systems" and emphasizes the importance of acknowledging what is unfinished in us (intergenerational trauma or other complex traumas that many of us hold in our bodies) while we work towards shared liberation. Susan and I talk about how death rests right alongside our embodied aliveness and much more. Susan Raffo is a queer bodyworker with ancestry in both the colonized and the colonizer. She has studied craniosacral therapy through the Upledger Institute, the Milne Institute, and with Body Intelligence. She is also informed by Global Somatics, a practice that emerged out of Body Mind Centering and by a range of nervous system integration models. For the last 16 years she has focused her work on the connection between what happens in systems and communities with what happens within individual bodies both through work with the US Social Forum movement, as well as most recently through the People’s Movement Center. Based in Minneapolis and from Cleveland, Ohio, Susan happily lives with her partner, Rocki, and their daughter, Luca.

This is a podcast for people who identify as queer or for people who might think of their relationship between their body and confining social narratives as queer. This can feel like an isolating experience. Our wounded bodies need spaces to talk about struggles with nourishment/disordered eating, body image issues, dysphoria, racism, heterosexism, transphobia, xenophobia, substance use/abuse, chronic pain/disability, body changes in parenthood, intergenerational trauma, the medical/wellness/therapy industrial complex and its lack of inclusion of queer bodies and much more. Hopefully this podcast can illustrate the connections, and resonant pain points, that we have with one another.

At a very young age, Cathy Courtenay felt an urge to find truth and has since been living her life responding to its call. Cathy brings her heart into everything that she does, whether it’s leading the Art of Circling, Body-Mind Centering, or working with her clients as a Conscious Relating Coach. She helps people fully stand in what’s real for them, and all of her work ultimately teaches authenticity and sovereignty that creates a greater space for a love that helps uplift humanity. Cathy joins me today to discuss the elements that make a relationship worth the hard work. We share some of our professional and personal and experiences with learning the meaning of hard work in relationships. We reveal why individuals need to understand their own values and find common relationship values. We illustrate the importance of self-awareness and communication skills, especially during conflict situations. We also explain why hard work in relationships doesn’t need to be a struggle as well as highlight why you need to ask yourself if you become a better person through the relationship. “It’s a spiritual experience to connect with a partner who’s deeply appreciating, and seeing and loving who they are in the world.” - Cathy Courtenay   This week on Relationships! Let’s Talk About It:  The impact of self-awareness in relationships  The role of compassion and love in healing and repairing your relationship after conflict  The importance of having shared values in a relationship  Why the individuals in a relationship need to explore their personal values  Connection, the feeling of being met, and other elements that make a relationship worth doing the hard work  How openness and curiosity affects a relationship  How and why it’s essential to maintain your sovereignty and differentiation in relationship What trauma bonding is and what should be done when a partner has had a traumatic experience How to identify when it’s time to move on Why “hard work” doesn’t necessarily need to be a struggle  Why some couples lack sexual intimacy in their lives  The power of appreciation and how to bring back sexual intimacy  Why you need to ask yourself if you become a better person through the relationship   Related Content:  Difficult Conversations  Falling in Love  Helping Men Learn to Connect with Women   Connect with Cathy Courtenay:  Cathy Courtenay Cathy Courtenay on Facebook Cathy Courtenay on LinkedIn   Let’s Talk About It!

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in my life is the importance of giving myself the space and permission to rest. After all, I was (and we are) taught to glorify hard work and busy-ness. But if we want to live a life that is in alignment with our truth, the most spiritual thing we can do is rest when we need to. In this solo episode, I’ll introduce a concept called yielding and share exercises to help you embody it. Yielding - which, is a term from Body-Mind Centering - is a process of finding the support to rest, and of trusting that new energy will arise when we do so. Having made it to the other side of January 2020, here’s my radical call to non-action for all of us: let’s spend February yielding and resting, and trust that is the perfect thing to (non-)do. Listen now, and for more information on the podcast and how to join the Speak Your Truth Membership Community, visit www.howtospeakyourtruth.com.

Why should we care about embryology as movement educators? Why should we care if all of our cells are in a creative mode or not? Is there a history in us from the time of the moment of our making that can inform how we express our bodies today? Join me and Debora Kolwey with Body-Mind Psychotherapy creator, Susan Aposhyan, for this wonderful conversation that kicks off our final season.The way I define embodiment is on a cellular level. Cellularly we can be in a physiologically creative mode or be in more of a routine, somewhat shutdown, minimally functioning mode. It used to be that people were saying a lot of “I was my body, I was out of my body,” and I’d say it’s not that simple, that’s not helpful to reduce embodiment to a binary set of states. But if we think about it on a cellular level…out of our 37 trillion cells how many of those cells are in a creative mode and how many of them are in a habitual mode? That’s how I define embodiment. If you look at every other creature on the planet they’re hovering close to 90 percent to 100 percent of embodiment. In that sense embodiment means that whatever that is coming in to the organism, whether it’s material or immaterial, in the case of thoughts and perceptions, is processed with no holds barred, and then expressed out with no limitations. So there’s a free flow of energy. Stuff comes in and energy, behavior goes out. So for example you don’t see coyotes trying not to fart. It's just input output, input output… .That’s a very concrete way that we stop our embodiment, that we stop our physiological processing. We’re trying not to belch or fart or smell or sweat, but also we’re trying not to laugh or cry or express our pain or jump up and down if we’re in a classroom, or run away if somebody scares us. There’s so many ways we stop our embodied flow. And as adults we’ve learned how to do that. Human adults are unique really in their ability to put cells into a habitually fixed mode and leave them there for decades at a time. Listen. Get quiet. Question what you know. Enjoy and share.More About Susan AposhyanSusan considers her work a convergence of dance, psychology, meditation, Body-Mind Centering.Here are some of Susan's answers to her pre-interview questions...Q: What has been one of the most difficult challenges to overcome in your professional life?A: Division between physicality, psychology, and spiritualityQ: What inspires you about the future of your profession / field?A: UnificationQ: What worries or concerns you about the future of your profession / field?A: RigidificationSusan's webiste: Body Mind PsychotherapyExplore Susan's books: hereBody-Mind PsychotherapyNatural IntelligenceFind out where Susan is teaching: hereConnect with UsChantill - chantill@skillfulteaching.com + (707) 738-7951Debora - dkolwey@gmail.com James - j.crader@evolvedbodystudio.comEmail us at thinkingpilatespodcast@gmail.com or use the form below.Like us on Facebook at The Thinking Pilates PodcastLeave us a review on iTunes.What We're Up ToChantillEnter the Vagus - Friday, Jan. 31 - Monday, Feb. 3rdSanta Barbara @ Aligned Pilates StudioA la carte options available for partial enrollmentWords Matter - Feb. 10th - April 12thOnline Writing + Verbal Cueing WorkshopJamesCheck out James' new website - JamesCrader.comLearn more about SOSOur Episode SponsorMomentum FestDenver, CO June 26-28Momentum Fest™ is a three day Pilates and movement celebration.

Aki is a true explorer of movements and living body-mind. She is a registered somatic movement therapist / educator, trained in Body-Mind Centering® (BMC) and Integrative Body-Work and Movement Therapy (IBMT), and a qualified practitioner of Neuro Affective Relational Model ® (NARM), which is a form of early trauma healing work designed for adult clients. She is passionate about developmental movements; embryology and they are largely incorporated into all her work, including teaching yoga. She runs trainings for yoga teachers, holistic therapists and psychotherapists, based on developmental movements and embodied anatomy of the nervous system in search of wellbeing. Her latest interest is to develop a practice on “voice & movement” as a way to enhance and improve quality of lives. Her future project will be to bring developmental movement work to psychotherapy trainings and she is also preparing to launch her web based live training courses. (She loves driving, chopping vegetables with a good sharp knife, contact improvisation (a form of dance) and enjoys general dancing about in the flat and in parks. Her aim is to dance and sing her way into her grave.) In todays episode:   Aki comes from a musical family and started singing young She studied physical theatre and became interested in movement and dance including contact improvisation Contact improvisation has a deep relationship with the work of Bonnie Bambridge-Cohen, who developed Body-Mind Centering (BMC) Aki was also influenced by yoga teacher Donna Farhi A Japanese bodyworker called Noguchi, who she describes as being a gift to humanity, influenced Bonnie Bambridge-Cohen when she lived in Japan Using active intervention to explore the movement of the body, by providing questions and allowing each person to be respectful of their own experience Somatic work tends to have a two-way dialogue, so the person has agency about their process Learning anatomy through the experience of the body as well as teaching models and diagrams Sensory information is incoming flow The more we are embodied, the more we can contact the cells and tissues with their language through touch, e.g. the periosteum and skin Cellular breathing of the whole organism  Consent about receiving adjustments in a class Addressing early trauma through the body Attachment issues Addressing embryology in embodied movement Play and lightness to aid understanding Awareness of the front surface of the body has a different feeling than the back Embryology relates to the meridians Physiology from the East and Anatomy from the West Developmental trauma work with adults Exploring sound and movement   To find out more about Aki Omori and her classes and workshops: @akisomatic (twitter) akisomatic (instagram) Yoga and Somatics with Aki Omori (Facebook page) www.akiomori.com

Ever since she felt a sense of urgency to find truth in the world at a very young age, Cathy Courtenay has lived a path of personal and spiritual growth. Inspired by this calling of truth, she studied Body-Mind Centering in her early twenties and later became interested in the potential of re-patterning and perceptual shifts, applying them into her bodywork practice. She took her pursuit of truth further by closely studying the Art of Circling with its founder, Guy Sengstock.   Cathy brings heart to everything that she does, whether it’s into bodywork, dancing, leading Circling sessions in Asheville, NC, or maintaining relationships with small and large businesses in the marketing world. Her capacity to be in a wide range of human emotions and experiences, along with her deep listening skills, allows her to create safe spaces that help people be present in difficult moments.   In today’s episode, Cathy and I discuss how to handle difficult conversations, whether it’s in the office or at home. We explain why people avoid conversations and share tips on how to handle difficult conversations. We emphasize the value of bringing in curiosity and ownership and how they can impact communication. We discuss the reason people argue over text and why couples should avoid it. We also reflect on our personal experiences with having ‘the talk’ and highlight why it’s essential to choose difficult conversations over the comfort of avoiding them.       “We put such a weight on positive emotions but it’s important for us to be with whatever it is in the other person.” – Cathy Courtenay       This week on Relationships!

Dies ist der dritte Teil meines Gespräches mit Odile Seitz. Sie ist Mutter von drei Kindern, Heilpraktikerin, Craniosakraltherapeutin und praktiziert Body-Mind-Centering in Berlin mit dem Schwerpunkt Schwangere, Kinder und Mütter. Odile hilft mit ihrer körperorientierten Therapie Schwangeren, Babys und Müttern nach herausfordernden Geburten oder nach anderen Ereignissen, die sie aus ihrer Mitte gebracht haben. Es kann zum Beispiel sein, dass • dein Baby nach einer herausfordernden Geburt so viel weint und so unruhig ist, dass du dir Sorgen machst • du selber gleichzeitig unter Hochspannung stehst und dich trotzdem total kraftlos fühlst • du schwanger bist und Rückenschmerzen hast • oder schon frühzeitig in der Schwangerschaft liegen musst In dieser Folge beschreibt Odile ausführlich, wie sie den Frauen und Kindern dann hilft, was sie macht und was es bei den Klientinnen bewirkt. Außerdem erzählt sie, was ihr selber durch die schweren Zeiten in ihrem Leben geholfen hat. Wenn du mehr über Body-Mind-Centering und CraniosakralTherapie erfahren möchtest, dann höre in die Folge # 12 rein. Dort erfährst du etwas über Odiles Werdegang von der Tänzerin zur Therapeutin und sie erklärt diese beiden Behandlungsmethoden. Ich freue mich, wenn du deine Erfahrungen zu dem Thema mit anderen teilst oder Frage stellst auf Instagram, Facebook, YouTube oder I-Tunes.

Dies ist der erste Teil meines Gespräches mit Odile Seitz. Sie ist Mutter von drei Kindern, Heilpraktikerin, Craniosakraltherapeutin und praktiziert Body-Mind-Centering in Berlin mit dem Schwerpunkt Schwangere, Kinder und Mütter. In dieser Folge erzählt Odile zunächst aus ihrem Leben und wie es kam, dass sie von der Tänzerin zur Therapeutin wurde. Danach erfährst du etwas über die zwei körperzentrierten Methoden, nämlich Body-Mind-Centering und CraniosacralTherapie, die Odile in ihrer Praxis anwendet und zum Teil auch in Gruppen anbietet. Wo kommen die Methoden her? Was passiert in einer solchen Behandlung? Wie wirken sie? Was ist für welche Symptome besser geeignet? Außerdem sprechen wir darüber: • Was macht eine gute (Körper)Therapie aus? • Was können die Zuhörerinnen selber machen, wenn sie verspannt sind? • Wie sieht ihre Selbstfürsorge als Therapeutin aus? In der nächsten Folge (# 13) erzählt Odile von ihren eigenen Erfahrungen, wie es war, als Zwillingsmama sehr plötzlich einen Kaiserschnitt zu erleben und kurz danach mit einem Zwilling schon wieder im Krankenhaus zu sein. Und im Teil drei unseres Gespräches (# 14) erzählt sie dann aus ihrer Praxis und wie sie mit ihrer körperorientieren Methode Schwangeren, Babys und Müttern hilft, wieder in die Balance zu kommen.

Idag är Moa i Stockholm hos Marie och vi pratar en hel del om BMC - Body Mind Centering, skapad av den fantastiska Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, och modeordet somatiska rörelser. Såklart kommer vi i vanlig ordning även in på relaterade sidospår som hur BMC har påverkat vår egen yogapraktik, synen på barnuppfostran, skärmtid, vikten av trygghet och RÖRELSE (otippat va) och medveten närvaro; Hur känns det att vara jag? Body Mind Centering är ett sätt att fördjupa oss själva in i den intuitiva visdom som kroppen besitter, och den medfödda kapaciteten att läka genom medvetenhet och beröring. Hur fantastiskt är inte det?

James Crader is considered a top health and wellness resource in the Sacramento region. His work with special populations, elite athletes, and students with Spinal Cord Injuries has been featured in numerous blogs / podcasts / magazines / and teaches internationally. James is a CoreAlign Master Instructor and provides CoreAlign education for the Sacramento region. James' favorite students are those willing and ready to explore new ideas, movements, and experiences while learning how to work better with and within their body.  His degree in Interpersonal Communication, and studies in Linguistics, have made him a lead voice in the area of cueing and client dialogue.  In this episode James and Kathryn dig deep into communication, teaching, misconceptions we have about the body, alignment, the SI joints and pilates.  James talks about his unconventional path as a pilates instructor, and how his work goes much further than physical exercises. His degree in communication makes him a unique speaker and movement teacher because he understands the subelties of how the body talks to us. They spoke about human variation and how vastly different people can be and move, and how that is normal and great. They also spoke about James' experience training with Body Mind Centering and how Bonnie has an uncanny ability to know so much about teaching. Kathryn and James immediately hit it off and realized early in the conversation that they both had a lot to say and a number of common beliefs, we hope you enjoy listening.

Free coaching sessions for women: https://www.lessstressmorejoy.com/product/coffee-with-kasia-free-coaching-for-women/The full transcription is available here: https://www.kasiamay.com/blog/emotional-recovery-through-bodywork/KM: Hey, it’s Kasia May. Today I am here with Kasia Kaminska to talk about emotional recovery through bodywork. Kasia is a very experienced yoga teacher who connects a lot of approaches in her work, including straightly therapeutical ones like Aleksander Lowen’s bioenergetics, Somatic Experiencing by Peter Levine or Body-Mind Centering by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. We met last Sunday at a workshop dedicated to the pelvis. Kasia, working with you there was a great experience for me and I am honored to have you here. KK: Hello, I’m also happy to be here and to be able to talk about my work with you.KM: I have in my head that talking therapy is still the most popular when we feel we need some help to change something in ourselves, in our lives. You are not a therapist, but the things you offer to people during workshops and classes can support them in self-growth and emotional recovery a lot. How does it work that movement and exercises can help us in healing our emotions? Do you think it is good to do something like that additionally when we are in talking therapy? KK: Well, answering the first question it is very important to talk about our body being able to contain emotions. Everything we experience from the very beginning of our lives, even before we were born, is contained by our bodies, and it occurs as different types of tensions in different areas. And what is very important is the work that we do in a very conscious way to release the tension. And through that tension, we are able to detect some emotions stuck in our body. Sometimes it’s pleasure, sometimes it’s pain, sometimes it’s fear. And then to do some other work. So everything we experienced is already written in our bodies, and that’s why it’s good to combine these two approaches, the verbal one and the non-verbal one - the bodywork, because it gives us the ability to first, be conscious in our mind about what we are going through, about the mechanisms that guide us, about our patterns, and then it gives the body the possibility to feel it, to experience it once again. It is very important to know that we don’t give ourselves permission to express ourselves, to react in a way that we need to react. And it is necessary for the body to react not to create this tension. And first, in our childhood, we are being forbidden by our parents to scream, to shout, to kick, to jump, so it’s not only about these hard emotions but also the good emotions - joy, some spontaneous reactions, and then also anger, and fear and all of that. So as adults also we are not really used to express that. And through that bodywork, we are able to experience that once again, so first it’s kind of come back to that time, but we are able to have a perspective of an adult person seeing ourselves what we’ve been not able to do as kids. KM: So how to work with our bodies to release emotions? What kind of classes, activities we can choose to reach this goal?

Abel Costa is on a mission to uplift global consciousness one person at a time. Abel holds a BS in Cognitive Science from the State University of New York at Empire College. He is a Licensed Massage Therapist in the State of New York and is registered as a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist. As an expert in the healing arts, he studied Polarity Therapy, Reiki, Body Mind Centering and Theta Healing to name a few. His 20-year meditation practice has led him to study all forms of meditation from Non-Duality and mentored in neuroscience with Zoran Jasapovic to Vedic Meditation with Thom Knowles. As a therapist with 17-years experience, Abel understands how to support the working professional providing the tools to integrate their lives and to facilitate change at an optimum pace in an evolving world. Background Abel was born in the Philippines and spent his childhood with his step-father who was in the military. Abel moved around a lot from one place to another. His father was from Hawaii and so Abel visited Hawaii numerous times during his childhood. He always loved Hawaii and later moved to Hawaii. What was your childhood like? For many years only his close friends had an idea of his uproots. Abel thinks he is a sort of a person, who does not make many close friends, but the ones he has, they are like family to him. He is comfortable in sharing his feelings, beliefs, and likes/dislikes with them. Abel developed his interest in music, theatre, and dance as a way of channeling some of the pain, using movement and music as a way to focus. One of the things Abel got into when he became a therapist is called biodynamic craniosacral therapy. Abel deals with feelings and emotions that cannot be put into words. Most of these feelings and emotions are held in our body, in our psyche that we are not aware of. However, it influences our everyday life, our perceptions, and our decision-making process. Abel believes his childhood was influenced by such feelings and emotions which could not be put into words. He lived in a family that didn’t talk much. There was never any talk about Abel’s real father. How did you get on a path to healing? Abel believes it chose him. It was a slow gradual process. When he was young, he was obsessed with dancing and playing the piano. He was just 18 when he got into a ballet company where he was trained rigorously. When he got to New York City by the time he was 19, he heard about a person called Bonnie Cohen who is the founder of Body-Mind Centering school. Abel took a lot of yoga classes in New York and the best teachers he had studied with this woman. His best dance teachers studied with this woman. Bonnie Cohen teaches people to be embodied in their body on a cellular level. Through this woman’s work and through Body-Mind Centering school, he got on a path to healing. Can you talk a little about mirror neurons? Mirror neurons were discovered in the 80’s. Researchers conducted studies involving monkeys who were made to imitate humans washing dishes. The end result was that the dishes washed by humans were clean but those by monkeys were not clean although the monkeys were made to copy each step of humans. This is because monkeys were able to replicate the actions performed by humans but could not interpret the underlying intention of washing a dish. Mirror neurons help human beings learn through actions of other human beings and also help them learn the underlying intention of every action. Has dance been a part of your meditation? Abel believes it was an integral part of his meditation. He believes dance allowed him to be in his body. For Abel, being in this world was a painful experience as a child. Dance allowed him to feel his body in a three-dimensional space. Abel credits this to his teacher who went an extra mile for all of her students in her teachings. Eventually, Abel was drawn to Body-Mind Center school led by Bonnie Cohen. Abel thinks that was the foundation of the healing process for him. He was able to learn about different healing modalities through this school. He spent a whole decade learning and exploring different healing modalities. It was not just bodywork, it was everything including theta healing, learning to access his own intuition and do readings like a psyche person. What is Feldenkrais method of meditation? Feldenkrais method of meditation aims to improve human functioning by increasing self-awareness through an individual’s body movement. However, the movement is very minute and slow. You look at the whole body skeleton and structure. What is the best advice you have ever been given? Some time in past Abel moved to New York where he started a project with a co-founder. It is called the inner-peace project. Abel was having issues moving back to New York after being away from the city. New York is now a hub for meditation schools and coaches. You can come across numerous coaches who are just into their practice and already claiming to be best at their work. And then there was Abel, who had been in this business for almost two decades but felt uneasy starting his work in New York. Her advice to Able was to “just do you” which actually meant that Abel should just focus on his own work and put in practice his vast experience to help him through his work. How can we connect with you? You can connect with Abel through his website. His website’s URL is https://www.abelycosta.com  

In this episode, healing justice leaders Cara Page and Susan Raffo join host Kate Werning for a conversation about the origins of the contemporary framework of healing justice, stories and learnings from early collaborations in the South and at the Atlanta and Detroit US Social Forums, how nothing is just an issue - everything we care about deeply ties to our embodiment, the importance of safety, and the fine lines between ownership, appropriation, co-optation, and trust.PRACTICE: Download the next episode for instructions for a grounding practice of building an altar or sacred space, led by Cara Page. (We release a new conversation every Tuesday, and the corresponding practice on Thursday - so check back then if you don’t see it yet!)** As a brand new podcast, we need you to subscribe, give a 5-star rating, and share a positive review to help us continue.

Over the past three decades, she has worked within movements for queer & trans liberation, reproductive justice, healing justice, and racial and economic justice. She is co-founder and former Coordinator of the Kindred Southern Healing Justice Collective and former National Director of the Committee on Women, Population & the Environment. For her outstanding achievements in community organizing around the arts and social justice, Page has received awards and fellowships from the National Center for Human Rights & Education and The Rockefeller Foundation. As an Activist-in-Residence at the Barnard Center for Research on Women, Page will deepen her study on historical and contemporary eugenic practices and medical experimentation to shape a public discourse on the historical and contemporary role of eugenic violence as an extension of state control and surveillance on Black & immigrant communities; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Transgender, and Gender Nonconforming people; people with disabilities; and Women of Color. Through creating political writings, cultural performance and communal forums on these issues she will gather a cohort of healers/health practitioners, cultural workers, organizers, scientists and service providers to transform institutional eugenic practices; and memorialize sites of eugenic practice to bear witness to these atrocities and begin to organize and heal.SUSAN RAFFO is of Italian, German, Irish, French-Canadian descent and Anishinabeg-descent. Her people were farmers, stonemasons, union members, and tradespeople. Across all of her family lines are histories of assimilation, passing, and disconnection from home, family, land and history.  She currently lives on Dakota land in its seventh generation of settlement. Susan began to study bodywork in 2005 and struggled to feel that this work was as politically relevant as community organizing, but in 2009 she attended the Healing Justice Practice Space at the US Social Forum in Atlanta and it changed her life. For the first time she found movement people, radical people, social justice people, who were  interested in the places where systems of power and oppression were held in the tissues of the individual body as well as within systems and communities. Susan is interested in work that refuses to separate how we individually connect with life from how we collectively claim our lives. She works towards the end of the medical industrial complex and wants to lift up practices and traditions that have been co-opted or forced into disappearance. She is trained in multiple forms of craniosacral therapy, as well as in Global Somatics (a form of Body Mind Centering). Her practice is based on deep listening and working with the body, supporting the conditions for shifting deeply held (sometimes generational and historical) patterns that show up as pain, anxiety, stress, and disconnectedness. Susan is also a writer, having published Queerly Classed in 1995 and Restricted Access in 1997. Right now she is blogging about healing justice and liberation work at https://susanraffo.blogspot.com, and is currently building out www.susanraffo.com. ​   REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE / FURTHER RESOURCES - Healing Justice at the US Social Forum: A report from Atlanta, Detroit & Beyond (the report by Susan & Cara we refer to in the conversation) - Kindred Southern Healing Justice Collective needs statement & strategies - Susan’s healing justice blog - People’s Movement Center in Minneapolis, where Susan practices - More from Cara Page’s performative body of work on anti-Eugenics and the medical industrial complex: performance installations in partnership with the Asian Pacific American Institute at NYU here & here, and a video in collaboration with the disability justice performance troupe, Sins Invalid - Healing Justice Practice Spaces: A How-To Guide   JOIN THE COMMUNITYCheck out the incredible guests and topics we'll be featuring coming up and sign up for the email list to hear when new episodes drop at www.healingjustice.orgFollow us on Instagram @healingjustice, like Healing Justice Podcast on Facebook, and tweet at us @hjpodcast on TwitterWe pay for all costs out-of-pocket and this podcast is 100% volunteer-run.

On the importance of staying in our bodies, slowing down to be with our own body's living systems and sensitivity, and getting to know the deeper life of our anatomy as an antidote to the fast-paced, electronic world that is evolutionary new to the human body. Guest Andrea Olsen is a pioneering embodiment educator and expert on experiential anatomy, the author of  a triad of books on the human body and its creative and intuitive expression. For the last three decades  Andrea  has been a Professor of Dance  and Environmental Studies at Middlebury College in Vermont. She is a long time collaborator with embodied mindfulness pioneers  Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen of Body-Mind Centering and Janet Adler of Authentic Movement.   Andrea also teaches at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California,  bringing body education and mindfulness practices into graduate courses on global communication. This episode's Wisdom Quotes: “Understanding that body is part of Earth is an essential component of human awareness. Our bones, and our breath, and our blood are the minerals and the air and the water around us, so that when you arrive someplace new, after a few days of drinking the water or eating the food from that place, you become that place. So the idea of separateness starts to fade and this larger model of interconnectedness becomes more primary in our awareness.” “We are not naming the bones and the muscles to distance ourselves from the body but to consider these parts as family. To be able to name your femur or tibia or the fibula is like knowing your relatives and making the inhabitation of this wonderful structure that we're in more familiar while retaining the mystery.”   More about Andrea Olsen's work : www.andrea-olsen.com, www.body-earth.org   More about host Stefana Serafina's work: www.intuitivedance.org

This week on Your Pleasure is special guest Annie Brook to talk about how your history affects your sexual appetite. New Book! How Birth Influences Behavior Annie is a seasoned somatic psychotherapist who blends movement, neuroscience, and early attachment work into a cohesive program that produces lasting change and health. Annie founded BodyMind Somanautics Training, and the Applied Neuroplasticity Method that goes to pre-cognitive story held in the survival brain. Working at this level releases patterns that govern behavior under stress. Annie co-owns Colorado Therapies and sees infants to adults in her clinical work and trains interns.  She helps parents unravel a difficult birth and children and adults release patterns that get in the way of thriving. Annie is an author, international speaker, and certified BodyMind psychotherapist, Bio-Dynamic Cranial practitioner, and a certified Body-Mind Centering® teacher. She is a developmental movement specialist, a registered movement educator (ISMETA) and a state-licensed psychotherapist. As a therapist, Annie has worked with numerous infants, children and adults. She helps people to unravel the ‘pre-cognitive stories’ of their lives. These stories are held in the tissues and the emotions of the body and form the first imprints of the nervous system. Such stories come to consciousness and resolve through participative empathy,skilled reflection, tracking and regulation of shock, educative touch, and movement repatterning.  For more info, visit the official show page: http://www.AuthenticYouRadio.com/Your-Pleasure
