Embody and Transform
Embody and Transform® is a process I developed primarily from a 100 hr. Grief Yoga® Teacher Training Program developed by Paul Denniston. I adapted it to include my wisdom and expertise in working with those dealing with a Substance Use Disorder, death, loss, and/or abuse.
Paul brilliantly uses a combination of somatic movement, vocal sound, and breath to help us become aware of where pain (emotional, physical and/or spiritual) is embedded in our bodies. Especially in this country, we are taught to bury our feelings after events that hit us unexpectedly.
More and more, experts, researchers, and neuroscientists are realizing that stuffing our emotions will only lead to a wide variety of disorders. We often take drugs to deal with or numb ourselves (I certainly did it too). The beauty of this process is that there are no drug-related side effects. Is it fun to let ourselves feel the painful emotions that we have long buried? Not really, yet this process can include laughter – which really is a wonderful medicine!
