With Guild Certified Feldenkrais Teacher® & Founder of Kinesa®
Lavinia Plonka
The healing you need lies within the power of movement.
Experience how Feldenkrais Method® self-healing strategies, combined with sacred gestures, can provide pain relief and a deeper connection to Spirit.
Healing unfolds when you reconnect to Spirit through your body.
Indigenous teachings have long held that dis-ease begins in the spirit, then descends to the emotions, and can eventually manifest in the body.
Given that the turbulence of the outer world is often reflected in the turbulence of our inner world, it’s no wonder that so many of us are struggling with fatigue, tension, and chronic discomfort.
The profound union of intentional movement and sacred gestures can alleviate these modern-day maladies and reconnect you to your higher self, affirms Lavinia Plonka, Guild Certified Feldenkrais Teacher® and founder of the Kinesa® movement process.
Lavinia teaches that mindful somatic movement enables you to access the vocabulary of the sacred that’s embodied in the vital life force that flows throughout your body.
Since the dawn of time, people have been expressing this vocabulary through sacred gestures to deepen their connection to the Divine during times of prayer.
Indeed, through simple gestures such as bringing our hands together in prayer or raising our hands to the heavens, we create energetic and neurological links that create a bridge between the physical and the spiritual, allowing us to feel seen, supported, and aligned with something greater than ourselves.
Join Lavinia for a powerful hour-long event and explore how sacred gestures such as prayers, mudras, and more can help us find our personal pathway to reducing stress, relieving emotional and physical pain, attaining spiritual clarity, and navigating the complex challenge of transcending our rational mind to deepen our connection not only with ourselves but with others as well.
For example, you’ll experience the healing power of sacred gestures in action using the power of hand movements. From Christian saints deep in prayer to the great Tai Chi masters, the power emanating from our hands can heal and transform.
Lavinia will share a guided Hand-to-Heart practice to help you cultivate a personal connection to your heart center and communicate with others more deeply — all through the intelligence of your hands
If you’re a seeker who longs for a more embodied spiritual practice but aren’t sure where to find the tools you need, or you’d like to make ancient wisdom part of your journey in an accessible way, Lavinia designed this event for you.
In this hour-long free online event, you’ll discover:
- Why understanding the connections between your posture, gestures, and emotions can enhance your emotional fluency
- A guided Hand-to-Heart practice for cultivating a personal connection to your heart center and communicating with others through the gestures and intelligence of your hands
- How you can choose your ideal spiritual practice when you understand how sacred movements influence the nervous system and impact you
