2007 Classes by Subject: Somatic Psychology: Body Work, Symptoms and Illness, and Movement Work

Movement Work, Body Symptoms, and Altered States of Consciousness
Body experiences bring with them many unusual, altered or confused states of consciousness. From aProcess Work perspective, body experiences and the altered states and subjective experiences that accompany them are rich sources of information about our personal process and mythic life patterns. Learning how to follow and make sense of these states offers us an opportunity to gain deeper awareness of our process and to develop lucidity in movement and proprioception.
