Who we are I believe, correlates more with the state of stillness than it does with our intellectual thinking. Your ability to feel stillness, to just be with yourself, the world, nature, or with others, is a greater indication of your maturity and level of humanity. Stillness is not reading a book while lying on… Continue Reading
‘BE’ and still get everything done!
Spending quality time for self centering and whole body contact with yourself is crucial in this day and age. Especially with all the distractions, demands on our time and our highly over worked society. There is so much ‘doing’ that the ‘being’ part of us, our more real nature, is squashed or put on hold… Continue Reading
Are you a Meditator?: What it says about you…
The Self Healing Meditation Classes are chugging along nicely at my centre here in Melbourne twice a month. Averaging about 16 people a class. If you are a person who Meditates, what it says about you is this: that you know deep down that you are not your thoughts, that you are something greater and… Continue Reading
Combining Powerful Therapeutic Approaches for Better Results
I reminded myself again today just how well my therapeutic work, specifically the P.S.H. Therapy and the Body Psychotherapy work combine so well together. One is a great tool to bypass the intellect and drill down straight to the feeling cause of a problem (PSH) and the other is a great tool at keeping a… Continue Reading
New Self Healing Meditation Class
The responses so far to this new class have been very positive. People feelings some real differences and shifts. So much so that I have had to run another class this week to accommodate everyone on the waiting list. And that class is almost full too. So, needless to say, I am very happy with… Continue Reading
Taking the Inner Risk that Heals
It takes courage for some people to come and see me for sessions. Even though a person may have a problem, whether it is mental/emotional/physical/spiritual or a health medical issue, that is the cause of great pain and suffering, it still can feel scary to have sessions. Even though you know it can help greatly… Continue Reading
Ask the therapist: “Have you had sessions in this work yourself?”
The theme that arose a bit this past month from a number of people and therapists that I have been talking to has been about the well known fact that the best therapists are normally the ones that have had a major problem/health issue that they healed in themselves before becoming therapists. Why is that?… Continue Reading
“Learn to live with it”
I’ve heard this line many times. A statement made by well meaning therapists to clients of mine who were seeing such people in the past. I heard this line again recently from a client referring to a friend of theirs who had been seeing a psychologist and getting CBT for their anxiety. “Learn to live… Continue Reading
ASTA Conference – for P.S.H. Therapists
I’ve just attended the ASTA Conference for 2010 in Sydney. ASTA is the association for all P.S.H. Therapists around Australia. It was an inspiring day of more learning and meeting up with colleagues from around Australia most whom I only get to meet once a year. I gave two presentations (120 mins and 90 mins.)… Continue Reading
“You’re a Lid Popper!”
At a recent Women’s Trauma Release group I am co-leading one of the participants after her individual session said with a laugh, “George, you are a lid popper!” We all laughed. And I agreed. What a great phrase I thought. A lid popper. The Body Psychotherapy work, (especially the Radix Work) is excellent for helping… Continue Reading
