Katie & Gay Hendricks
March 11, 2015
Are you ready to move beyond the ways you dislike, mistreat or ignore your body and the disconnection, fatigue and overwhelm you experience as a result?
Are you ready for more connection, creativity and flow in your life – especially in creating fulfilling relationships and manifesting your most
heartfelt dreams?
When you transform the way you relate to your body, you can liberate the innate wisdom in your cells and fill your life with more enjoyment, energy and ease.
Deep, delicious embodiment is not only more pleasurable, it contributes to better health, a longer life, stronger relationships – and even more creativity! You eat better, you laugh more and you have more satisfying sex. You release your distractions and subtle addictions and experience more joy in each moment.
Science supports these conclusions, which also relates to our lived experience. When we are more connected with our bodies – as when we are dancing, at a yoga retreat or on a tropical getaway – we just FEEL better.
So the question isn’t if it’s valuable to become more embodied, the only real question is how to go about it?
How do we unravel centuries of cultural programming and years of institutionalized learning that teaches us that we should live in our heads – with our bodies treated like unconscious, inconvenient machines – rather than seeing them as the vibrant vessels of amazing intelligence and emerging energies that they are?
How do we use our body to heal our relationships, open more fully to intimacy as well as to infuse our professional lives with more creativity and inspiration?
How do we unwind stress and fear patterns that keep us contracted, anxious and just plain strung out?
The answer is actually simple: Open to your body’s natural intelligence. However, the path to accomplishing this requires wisdom, healing and daily practice.
That’s because millennia of suspicion (and even hatred) of the body have left a legacy of self-abuse, dissociation and an inherited mind-body split. This can lead you to mistreat and ignore your body – leaving you fatigued, unfocused, stressed and depressed – which then saps your creative powers and damages your relationships.
This may happen on a very subtle level. You may not be conscious you are doing it, but the damage to your life is painfully evident.
It’s no wonder we have dozens of health epidemics – from obesity to depression – related to the mistreatment of our bodies because we don’t honor them with the deep care and respect they deserve. We brag about getting little sleep. We push ourselves to exhaustion. We jack up our nervous system on caffeine. And we spend countless hours sedentary in front of screens.
The great news is that it’s NOT actually burdensome (or tiring or overwhelming) to make a profound shift in this area. In fact, it can become a source of more joy, energy AND positivity for you.
We’re not talking about deprivation diets or painful workouts, but about giving yourself time throughout the day to learn how to feel better and better in your skin. More connected. Grounded. Alive. Alert. And far less stressed.
As you do this, you will find yourself becoming more optimistic and magnetic – more excited by your daily life and more available in your relationships with others
These changes won’t happen overnight, but they WILL happen gracefully as a result of shifting your awareness deeper into your body and creating practices throughout the day that reconnect you with your inherent vibrancy and vitality.
As you access this natural body intelligence, it shifts your mind in a positive direction – away from negative thoughts and toward creative connection. When you do this, you expand your capacity to give and receive love, your creativity flows more naturally and you live more freely. Distractions and subtle addictions also lose their power – and you experience more joy in each moment.
It’s really about learning to access and sustain a state of embodied flow – exquisitely attuned to the rhythms of life, the waves of emotions and a deep sense of interconnection.
A Roadmap to Manifesting Vibrant Health, Relationships and Careers
In this unique virtual program, two of the world’s leading pioneers of body intelligence and co-hosts of the groundbreaking Body Intelligence Summit – Katie and Gay Hendricks – will take you on a delightful journey of embodiment that weaves many threads of scientific research, psychological insight, relationship building and embodied practice together.
They’ll show you how learning to apply body intelligence skillfully is at the heart of living a deeply fulfilling, meaningful and joyful life.
And they’ll teach you how to apply body intelligence in 7 fundamental areas of your day-to-day life, allowing you to inhabit your body in a new way – one that is more enlivening, connected AND effective.
You’ll discover that you can heal the mind-body split and learn to infuse your conscious awareness back into your cells. You can reconnect with your body intelligence, which in turn, boosts your IQ, emotional intelligence and relational intelligence as well
The result? You feel more ALIVE, connected and creative. You engage in your relationships and vocations with gusto and grace, passion and purpose.
Lasting changes like these do require a community of support in order to fundamentally shift habits and patterns that have taken years to develop. And it especially helps to have the latest wisdom and daily practices that have been proven to truly work.
That’s why we are so delighted to present this Body Intelligence in Action program – which builds upon the enlightening information shared during the groundbreaking Body Intelligence Summit. You’ll discover a powerful, systematic guided program led by Gay and Katie Hendricks – helping you rewire your body and mind together, while joyfully connecting to teachings, practices and community from the comfort of your home.
What you’ll learn from these body intelligence pioneers are the leading-edge insights and time-tested practices that allow you to experience whole new levels of aliveness and joy, especially in the realms of relationship and creative manifestation. As you do this, it liberates new sources of wisdom, insight, intuition, energy – and even creative solutions. This translates not only into personal enjoyment and better relationships, but also into more professional success as your vitality and enthusiasm magnetically attracts clients, colleagues and partners.
During this program, you’ll learn to apply some of Gay and Katie’s most important daily practices that provide you with access to more freedom and flow, joy and creative intelligence.
If you’re ready to integrate your body’s holistic potential and savor the personal, professional and relational benefits that come from being turned on, healthy and dynamically engaged with life – this is the program for you!
The body intelligence movement is rapidly building in research and popular culture – from dancing flash mobs to studies about the positive difference body awareness brings to health and business success. And the Body Intelligence in Action program will give you the best of this emerging discipline – all in a form that allows you to put it into juicy practice, while releasing the disconnected feelings of the past.
So if you’re ready to increase the level of energy, joy, clarity and connection in your life, these sessions will provide you with a gateway into a bright new world of possibility.
What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
Course sessions are on Wednesdays at 5:00pm Pacific.
In this 7-module transformational training, Katie and Gay will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies that you’ll need to discover your true body intelligence quotient (BQ) for living a more vital, balanced and love-filled life.
Each module will build harmoniously upon the next, so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to recognize and be guided by your body’s wisdom.
Module 1: Breathing & Moving into Authentic Relationship (March 11)
A question central to relationship can only be answered with body intelligence: Are you fully open to intimacy or unconsciously defending yourself against it? This session focuses on the power of breath, movement and presence to expand your ability to enjoy being completely with yourself and completely open to relating, exploring and expanding in love.
In this session, you’ll learn to:
- Notice body language that indicates openness or resistance to intimacy.
- Breathe in ways that support you loving yourself and loving the feelings that arise in relationship.
- Cultivate a new body intelligence skill – Heliotroping – which gives you the ability to shift back to presence when you’ve drifted into old patterns.
Module 2: Presencing Power (March 18)
Presencing is the ability to show up and participate fully in your life and relationships. Presencing is the moment-by-moment practice of paying affectionate attention to the current reality, whatever it is. This session focuses on the experiential tools that enhance your ability to be present, especially in relationship.
In this session, you’ll:
- Discover the foundational skills that enhance presence and assist you in returning to the now when relationship challenges arise.
- Gain insights into the core presencing skills that create flow and creativity throughout your day.
- Learn how to apply presencing skills so that common relationship issues resolve spontaneously.
- Acquire the nonverbal presencing skills that shift issues and enhance creativity faster than “working” on relationship issues.
Module 3: Freeing Up Emotional States (March 25)
Body intelligence skills make changing an emotional state easy, and even fun. The “10-Second Miracle Moves” give you powerful body-centered skills that free your creative and relating abilities to be more effective and responsive, rather than reactive. Each brings about clarity, ease and understanding very rapidly, and are designed to be used “in the heat of action.”
In this session, you’ll:
- Discover the practice of “Feeling Through to Space.”
- Learn how to more acutely perceive and name shifts in energy.
- Find the keys to speaking in a way that promotes discovery rather
than conflict. - Discover ways to drop into “Whole-Body Accepting.”
- Cultivate the power and practice of taking immediate ownership.
- Learn how to maximize any moment by leading with appreciation.
Module 4: Resonance (April 1)
Resonance – the body intelligence skill of tuning in sensitively to another person – is a primary skill for those who want to enjoy the maximum amount of love and good feelings in relationship. Your ability to sense and reflect deeply with another creates a third state we call the “We-Field.” The We-Field is a new state of consciousness that generates ongoing vitality and co-creativity in relationships.
In this session, you’ll learn a skill-set that allows you to:
- Listen with your whole body in a way that opens greater intimacy between listener and speaker.
- Speak from awareness and discovery, rather than rehearsing or rehashing.
- Increase your sensitive awareness of your own feelings and the feelings of others.
Module 5: Opening to Creative Flow
(April 8)
There is both an art and a science to opening a creative flow between people. Relationship researchers refer to certain types of actions as “bids for attention.” When you learn how to give attention to another person’s bids for attention, you can eliminate conflict and enhance the creative flow between yourself and others. In addition, learning how to open and nurture your inner creative flow is an essential precursor to manifesting what you want in your overall life.
In this session, you’ll learn to:
- See openings to creative flow – to notice and give attention to positive possibilities and solutions rather than looking for what’s wrong.
- Use your body intelligence to make decisions quickly and effectively.
- Develop your creativity “muscles” with specific practices that only take 10 minutes a day.
Module 6: Embodying Wonder (April 15)
Being able to shift from blame to wonder is a core skill for enhancing relationships and creativity. This session focuses on a specific body intelligence too l– “Wonder Shift” – which can take you from experiencing life as a victim to experiencing life as a person of true creative power.
In this session, you’ll:
- Discover a primary transformation process Gay and Katie Hendricks have developed: F.A.C.T. (Facing, Accepting, Choosing and Taking Action).
- Learn how to make the Wonder Shift in the midst of conflict, both within yourself and in relationship to others.
- Find ways to explore and release the limiting belief systems that may be preventing your relationship harmony and ability to easefully manifest the things you want.
Module 7: Manifesting with Ease (April 22)
Body intelligence skills take the effort out of manifestation, the ability to make real the dreams in your life. For more than 35 years now Katie and Gay have been exploring manifestation in their own lives, and teaching about it to others. They’ve developed a powerful set of practices, none taking longer than 10 minutes and many that can be done in 10 seconds. They’ll share their personal experiments in manifestation as well as stories from people who have successfully used the techniques.
In this session, you’ll:
- Find a new way to understand and practice manifestation, based on paradigms from Newtonian, Einsteinian and quantum physics.
- Discover practical manifestation techniques based on the 3 physics paradigms.
- Acquire manifestation techniques that transform relationships.
- Learn how to integrate all the skills you’ve been practicing in previous sessions to manifest the life and relationship of your dreams.
