008 Inviting the Wisdom of the Body/ Anne Rojo CHP, LMT
Inviting the Wisdom of the Body -- Within the sacredness of our body, resides the story of our life, the journey of our ancestry and the wisdom of eons. If we intentionally listen, we experience that the body has many languages. Obvious examples are hunger or pain; more subtle examples might include a color, a specific awareness or an image presented to the mind when focusing on a specific area of the body. There are a host of sensations that the body can produce in response to something or as a way of communicating a need. For some there is a voice that is distinctly “the body”. During this exploration, you will have the opportunity for appreciation and care of your body. Guided meditations, body awareness exercises, and self-healing practices will be the vehicles used to gently awaken and compassionately listen to your body’s voice. Bring journals. Art supplies will be provided. Filled to capacity; waitlisted. |

Learn to interpret what you read in your life just like you learn to interpret a poem, a play, a novel or short story. In fact, it’s true what the sages say: Everything you really need to know is embedded in the story of your own life! TRACK: Memoir/Life Story. |
