One-to-One Support in Mindful Awareness of the Body
"Mindful awareness is a personal practice which provides rich resources for moving through the layers of conditioning, limiting beliefs, and judgments. When we bring awareness into the body, we discover that we are holding pain and self beliefs that have been accumulating throughout our lives. By creating the space and stability to allow emotions safely to emerge and move through, these old patterns begin to unwind and release." (Cynthia Wilcox)
