Unlocking the Body-Mind through Rhythmic Movement and Intuitive Touch Dynamic Energy Balancing®: Manifest Mind Series   Click here for the current schedule of classes.

Your body is an energetic masterpiece of manifestation. As your pure energetic essence sifts down through layers of awareness of being, it eventually arrives at the spiritual level, the gateway to physical manifestation. At this level, your awareness and yearning to be in specific relationships with others draws you down into the topmost layer of that concentrated experience called physical aliveness. From there you step down to the realm of Mind where you first become aware of body as the servant to your desires. But the body talks back. The body responds. It does this through feeling- physical feelings of pleasure and pain, and emotions, which are recognized through physical body sensations. All of these intense vibratory interactions create an energy field, called the etheric template, which gives rise to the physical body itself.

While all of the body responds to mind, the muscular system is particularly fine-tuned to do our mental bidding. If you decide to walk to the other side of the room, your muscular system responds in a complex orchestrated pattern that results in almost instantaneous response to your wish. All of your learned psychomotor skills are stored and resuscitated in the mind. All of your habits of tension, all of your habits of doing, moving, bracing, tone, posture, all are rooted in the mind.

These patterns are the status quo for you. They are what your body and mind are used to. They are experienced as a set point, homeostasis, equilibrium, balance. Your body rights itself, returning to those patterns, whether or not those patterns are currently in your best interests. If you wish for change, release of pain or tension, more grace in the body, you must reach the mind. That is the only place to re-set the set point, move the fulcrum of balance. This is the core of effective bodywork- bodywork that produces lasting results, that changes lives as well as solving problems.

In the Manifest Mind course of study, you will learn a set of principles and a full bodywork protocol for applying those principles, thus enabling you to reach the mind and effect powerful lasting change in the body. Through touch and movement, with sensitivity and respect, you can reach the mind, teach the mind, create new physical experiences that invite harmony and healing to the body-mind.

In the Level 1 hands-on experiential classes, you will learn to unlock and utilize the body-mind relationship in your own body and in your work with clients. You will:

• Learn a series of easy movements you can do for yourself to release the stress of your work, feel good at the end of your day, and continually deepen your own body-mind connection.
• Learn a bodywork protocol that will enable you to bring your ever-deepening connection with the body-mind to the table for your clients, and help them establish new levels of comfort, grace, peace and enjoyment.

The material presented in this class is drawn from Nancy’s Trager® practice of more than 25 years. You will learn movement explorations and hands-on protocol for the legs, back, shoulders, abdomen, ribcage, and neck. You will explore rhythmic movement, spirit of inquiry, imagination, intention, freedom, creativity, listening touch, responding, suggesting, accepting, meditative states of mind, connection, nurturing, love, safety, playfulness, fun, pleasure, gravity, weightlessness, ease, memory and recall.
