Your Symptoms Add Up To A Story...
Your body is smart and vastly intelligent.
Your body holds the knowing of every experience you have ever had. Your body holds all of the records of your birth, growing up and adulthood.
Your body holds the stress, the trauma, the tension. Your body remembers the warmth, the holding, the goodness.
September: Mother Earth Is Calling You
I feel a rising in the feminine energies in the world, within each person and in the consciousness of humanity as a collective.
This is also a potent time of year (in the Northern hemisphere) for the Earth element in Chinese Medicine - a time to connect to our roots, come into harmony with nature, and honour the rich food sources available to us when we look after the environment.
Creating A Contract With The Five Elements
A contract is a term used in Transactional Analysis (TA) which refers to a mutual agreement between 2 (or more) people or organisations. You could also think of it in terms of the commitments being made by each person - see my last post here.
When we meet at the beginning of Creative Kinesiology, we will create together a contract, or joint agreement, for the work we will do.
Let's explore this agreement through the lens of the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.
Commitment To The Therapy Is Commitment To Your Self
Engaging in the process of healing is a deep, and often long, journey.
The psychological resources you put into your own journey, will reap plenty throughout your therapeutic process.
I Hope I Don't Make This Look Easy
The healing journey is not easy - not if you are a human being reading this that is.
A Letter From The Great Mother, Earth, To Her Children
This week a beautiful friend gifted me with Rise Sister Rise by Rebecca Campbell. I highly recommend it.
Rebecca's writings really connect with the energy I am sensing at the moment, in the midst of eclipse season, the recent blood moon and the gorgeous Summer we are having here in the UK. This energy is all about the rising feminine, the sacred feminine of the Earth.
Different Aspects Of Trust Weaved Within The Therapeutic Relationship
Culturally, we often think about trust as being only one thing: either someone is to be trusted, or someone is not. This makes sense on a basic level of safety: am I safe with this person, or not?
Once a feeling of safety is present, trust becomes even more interesting...
I believe there are many different shades and aspects of trust, which become more apparent within the therapeutic relationship.
Creative Kinesiology Is An Inherently Right Hemispheric Therapy
In previous blogs, I have written about the left-hemispheric shifted culture we find ourselves immersed in - with many of the messages we receive outside of our conscious awareness, yet forming and shaping who we are and how we behave within society.
We can find balance when we lead from the right hemisphere's perspective, with support from how the left hemisphere of the brain likes to do things.
Creative Kinesiology has such a right-hemispheric leading approach embedded in the culture of its practice, in the facilitation of healing work, and in a different way of being in the world.
What Energies Might Emerge In Kinesiology And Energy Therapies?
In the course of a session of Creative Kinesiology, EFT and Reiki, we have the opportunity to encounter many beautiful energies.
This blog outlines some of the energies which present themselves in the therapeutic space.
Helping Each Other Thrive In A Left Hemisphere Dominant Culture
How did the last blog sit with you?
Perhaps you were able to sit with uncertainty, lean into some difficult emotions or perhaps you wanted to find a quick and easy solution or turn away from reading.
