For many people, working with the body means releasing muscle tension, exercises aimed at improving well-being and the like... Once upon a time it was the same for me. In addition, my education in Soviet physical education was not in vain and I felt an aversion to any specially planned body movements. Everything changed when I stopped treating my body as an object that needed to be improved and remade, made to be functional and efficient. I learned about the opportunity to treat the body as a part of myself, to listen to myself through it. And this turned out to be a huge resource and source of energy and joy. It turned out that many practices of bodily work have been developed that treat our physical component with respect and interest. And the goal is not achievements and records. And not even the opportunity to lose excess weight and build muscles for beauty. No, everything is much deeper. “The corporeality or our physical being is the custodian of the inner mind, wisdom and knowledge. Each body contains a wealth of information, like a stone, from which a geologist is able to judge the conditions in which this stone was found: climate, plants and even fossil creatures that left their traces in it. We are entirely expressed in the way in which our bodily personality meets peace; it represents the center in which we feel ourselves to be a separate, defined being. The body is a container, a home, an expression of our feelings and experiences. It is at the same time the stage, the actor and the author of the story of our life. Self-awareness gives us the opportunity to be fully aware of our reality, our world. Enriching sensory experience develops our resources for a huge number of other relationships - experience and expression, our effectiveness and potential for personal, energetic, emotional and spiritual growth." Arie Burshtein I am very happy that I became acquainted with such approaches as BodyMind Gestalt, BMC, authentic movement, contact improvisation. It is so wonderful to find energy and joy in your physical existence! And the combination of psychotherapeutic training and personal experience allows us to create unique programs for people who are ready to get to know themselves and change their lives.
