Description
What if you could place your hands on your body and help yourself calm down, feel better, clear your mind? There is a millennia-old tradition of people using their own hands to alleviate mental, emotional, and bodily discomforts. We hold our wrist and we feel relaxed. When we are uncertain, we fold our arms in front of the body. These are not just personal quirks or cultural accidents - it is a genetic memory of long-forgotten knowledge on how we can help ourselves through our hands.
In this class, I will introduce you to the principles of an ancient healing art that helps us release tension and boosts our innate healing abilities. It is powerful, it is versatile, it comes with no side effects or contraindications, it can be practiced together with any other modality including conventional medicine, and above else – it requires only our two hands and nothing else.
