Join Me at This Year's Energy Psychology Conference!



Just two short weeks from today the 13th annual Energy Psychology Conference begins in Toronto, Canada!

Along with numerous other top experts I'll be there, presenting a two-hour workshop on Friday October 21 called Advanced Bodywork for Emotional Balance and Mind-Body Reintegration.

This workshop contains lots of material I've never presented before - it's the shape of things to come in mind-body integration, a real "how-to" guide to becoming authentically human, mastering your emotions and improving your health.  You don't have to continue living in the "mind-body divorce" of Western culture that's messing you up on every plane of your existence.  There IS a better way!

You can get all the info on the conference and register here:

Why Come to the Energy Psychology Conference?


First, you get to meet many of the top healers in the world today and learn cutting edge methods you can use in your own life, in the lives of your loved ones and, if you're a practitioner, with your clients.

There are amazing keynote addresses, great workshops, plenty of time to make new friends and a well-stocked bookstore - it's paradise ;-)


Among this year's presenters is Lynn McTaggart, the famous author of the now classic bestseller, The Field: the Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe.  Lynn is one of the world's top authorities on energy healing and cutting edge biology.

Body Work - The Shape of Things to Come

As our civilization gradually moves towards more effective, resilient and sustainable strategies for living, from level of macro-economics right down to every individual's daily life, the human body is finally re-assuming its proper place.

Where once we assumed all intelligence was between your ears, we now have compelling evidence that intelligence is "non-local", distributed throughout your body.  Whereas much of psychology has been based on the idea that your emotions reside in your head, a myriad of successful healing modalities are demonstrating that emotional energies are also located throughout your body.  

Bottom line?  If you want to master your emotions and your thought processes, with all the benefits that come from that (better health, deeper relationships, more happiness, etc.), then you really have to...



...Get out of your head and into your body!!

How do you do that?  Well, there are certain practices that do an extraordinary job of facilitating this journey for you.  Body-work, as we're using the term here, is all about reintegrating mind and body. 

You're no doubt pretty familiar with things like Qi Gong, Tai Chi and Hatha Yoga because I talk about them all the time.  And those are all superb forms of body work.  However...


They're not the only ones.  Here are some other body work modalities you may be able to find locally and that may help you personally:


The Feldenkrais Method

Feldenkrais is a journey to rediscovering your balance, coordination and flexibility, useful for everyone from athletes to senior citizens.








The Alexander Technique

This one focuses initially on your posture and provides you with superior strategies for effective movement.








Rolfing

Rolfing is essentially a massage technique that targets the fascia layer, forming a kind of bridge between Chiropractic's focus on bone and Massage Therapy's focus on muscle.








Authentic Movement

This unusual method is completely spontaneous and improvisational, a kind of moving meditation without a script.








Progressive Muscle Relaxation

PMR teaches you how to relieve stress by alternately tensing and relaxing muscles in a kind of bio-feedback context.








In the near future I hope to be able to share with you some even more cutting edge body work methods we're currently working on here at Global Resilience Solutions.  These will build on what you've seen in Rock Solid Tranquility, but be even more advanced, just as easy to learn and even easier to implement in your daily life.
