Body Intelligence Summit 2016
The Body Now Healing Mandala
Take a journey around “The Body Now” Healing Mandala developed by Alana Shaw over the last 30 years. The body is our most fundamental mechanism of change, and moving, listening, playing and responding to that body is the quickest and most direct path to joy and to finding our “Yes” to our most authentic selves. How we observe anything is how things will come into being. The body-mind connection is constantly rewiring to align with our perceptions. How much “Yes” can we discover and speak and share and how deeply can we live into that “Yes” in our bodies?
In this session, you'll discover:
• A guided experience of consciously dropping into the wisdom of the body through the fluid system and the ease and joy that can bring into your life
• A deeper understanding of the ancient truths our bodies hold and how embracing those truths can lead us to our authentic selves
• An awareness of the importance of our relationship to our own beloved body, and all its parts and strengths and weaknesses and desires and longings, and how this facilitates the manifestation of your gifts in your greater community, leading to sustainable change
