Exploring the Nature of Consciousness
In 2019, I decided to take my life in a direction of self-inquiry. With my partner Rebeccah, I started training in practices that explore the non-dual nature of consciousness. These practices have helped me reevaluate my definitions of health after working in the US healthcare system. After hundreds of hours of practitioner training and supporting clients in experiencing health, I have opened up a small practice for those with a curious intellect.
For me, health is taking responsibility for my life by becoming aware of the warring ideas and dogma passed down to me despite my own doing. Health is allowing life to unfold naturally by stepping behind assumptions that have helped me cope with the intensity of life for so many years.
These practices cover the body, mind and beyond:
- Franklin Method - Develop a deep and embodied awareness of the body's basic anatomy, combining Western Anatomy and Somatic Practices. Discover enjoyment of the body through imagery while improving strength and flexibility. Re-discover how the body actually functions while building focused attention. The valuable feedback loop between the mind and body is a powerful tool for improving function and preventing disease and injury. With one body to carry throughout life, wouldn't it be worth spending some time to get to know it?
- BreakThrough - Cultivate a child-like curiosity and focused intellect. Shine light on life-long habits, repeating patterns, limitations and blind spots that have always been there despite anyone's doing. Bravely and honestly looking at these patterns for the first time welcomes the spontaneous and healthy expression of emotions: Joy/Sadness, Anger, Grief, Worry and Fear. All the false acts built around expectations start to unravel... What is possible when responsibility for life is taken, and child-like curiosity flows from this place?
- SourcePoint - Align with the Blueprint of Human Health. A strong container is formed using light touch, imagery and attention to establish order, balance, harmony, and flow in everyday life. Travel to a state of deep rest - a place where healing happens, informed by natural structures and geometries of the body, mind and nervous system. Address blockages in the natural life and death cycles happening in life including those that escape our conscious mental and physical awareness. How can deep rest, integration and nourishment support the outward intensity of life's transitions?
In the most gentle and supportive way possible, these practices accelerate the natural flow of de- and re-structuring in life. It is not coaching, advice, analysis, or "how to live", but the systematic breakdown of limitations - a taste of life unfolding without limit. As far as I know, this is Health.
