Class 16: BMH Psychotherapy and BMH Qigong: Integral Healing and Changing your Life Stance

Description

Bodymind Healing Psychotherapy (BMHP)and Bodymind Healing Qigong (BMHQ) are part of an integral self-healing system. The two can’t really be separated because physical, energetic, and mental health are intertwined and part of a greater whole, like the Yin-Yang symbol of the Tao.

Some specifics you’ll learn about:

• Energetic blocks and many illnesses are often due to the somatization of psychological issues; and healing of these issues can be best served by a combined psychological and energetic approach.

• You’ll be introduced to “The River of Life Protocol “ which combines Gendlin’s Focusing, Cognitive Restructuring, Taoist breathing practices, a guided visualization and other methods. For example, in Cognitive Restructuring one takes a negative belief, and says “This is an Opportunity to…” Then one finds a more truthful and constructive belief. This can create a felt energetic shift in the way you hold a troubling belief and create “a new life stance.” You’ll be introduced to how to integrate this proven efficacious method with somatic and energetic elements . You’ll be introduced to a pathway to experience how the manifestation of negative beliefs in the body can be transmuted with this integral protocol.

• Practical exercises included activating meridians, standing meditation, and specific Qigong postures like the deer and tiger to balance yin and yang energy and clear energy blocks.

• Standing Meditation Qigong: Transforming your Life Stance.

• Dealing with chronic illness with an integral healing paradigm— theory and practices.

• Learn methods to shift from being a victim to having an empowered sense of agency with your life issues.

• Learning healing ways from animal movements has been a part of cross-cultural shamanism. You’ll be introduced to Qigong Shamanic Shape-shifting practices, to find the healing form needed for your health: a cat, a tree, a bear, etc. “Trance-forming” your life stance.

• You’ll learn how “The Path of a Reluctant Metaphysician” involves learning to be a wounded healer by taking your illnesses and utilizing them to connect with the world behind the world of energy and archetypal possibilities.
