The practice of Psychotherapy, Yoga, Mindfulness and Meditation provides an opportunity to encounter one's wholeness. They give a glimpse of your own completeness in the stillness of any moment. These combined practices reveal both a deeper sense of self where struggles can be seen and felt differently creating a shift away from fragmentation and isolation. 

Long term interpersonal suffering and trauma from violence, chronic childhood abuse, neglect, sexual assault, victims of domestic abuse etc., are experienced in the body as well as remembered in the mind. To heal the pains of the past, what is felt in the body in the present moment as well as what is remembered about the past and what is told is important.

YOGA/MINDFULNESS

Yoga means many different things to many different people with the common denominator its aim is to help individuals live more fully. Yoga is a physical discipline that includes physical awareness and breathing through the practice of mindfulness. Body based and somatic interventions can be crucial within the context of trauma treatment to breakthrough the instinctive patterns of fear that remain a trigger to past repeated patterns.  

MEDITATION

Meditation is a practice that enables direct contact to the truth of one's being. Generally we waste our lives, distracted from our true self, in endless activity: meditation is a way to bring us back to ourselves where we can really taste our full being, beyond all habitual patterns.

Our lives are lived in an intense and anxious struggle, in a swirl of speed and aggression, in competing, grasping, possessing and achieving, forever burdening ourselves with extraneous activity and preoccupation. 

Meditation is the exact opposite. To meditate is to make a complete break with how we "normally" operate, for it is free of all cares and concerns in which there is no competition, no desire to possess or grasp at anything, no intense and anxious struggle, and no hunger to achieve: an ambitionless state where there is neither acceptance or rejection, neither hope nor fear, a state in which we slowly begin to release all those emotions and concepts that imprisoned us into the space of natural simplicity
