Embodied, Personal, and Relational Healing

An Innovative Approach

Recorded Friday 25 February 2022

With Judith Blackstone

CE Credits: 3 hours

Although many psychoanalysts observe that trauma has somatosensory components such as freezing, numbing parts of the body or fragmentation between affect and cognition, it is less recognised that the mind/body can become integrated when these dissociated organisations of self/other experience are brought to awareness and relinquished.

In this way, psychological health progresses toward what Winnicott called “indwelling” – an experience of being present and in contact with oneself within one’s whole body.

SPEAKERS

Judith Blackstone,

FULL PROGRAM

Wholeness and Depth
This session will teach the Realization Process practices for attuning to fundamental consciousness by inhabiting the internal space of the body, and for accessing a subtle channel in the innermost vertical core of our torso, neck and head. These practices can help us feel more alive within our body. They can contribute to healing anxiety and depression. They cultivate sensory and emotional resilience, grounding, self-possession and self-acceptance.

The Qualities of Being
When we embody fundamental consciousness, we uncover inherent (unconstructed) qualities within our body, such as love, power, intelligence and sexuality. Since we constrict these aspects of ourselves through the medium of the fascia in reaction to traumatic events in our early lives, the recovery of our ability to experience them is integral to personal and relational healing. This session will teach practices for uncovering these qualities and reclaiming the depth and fluidity of our responsiveness to the world around us.

Foundational Grounding
Practices for remaining grounded and in contact with oneself while standing and walking.
