ENERGETIC BODY TYPES: WHAT THEY REVEAL ABOUT YOUR CLIENTS
Friday, May 24, 2019
9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Blue Heron Healing, 43 Amato Circle, Wethersfield, CT
|
|
The Energetic Body Types are: Creator, Lover, Supporter, Achiever and Challenger. Like energetic armor, each body type reflects a way of holding energy in the body that defends against pain. Adopted in childhood, these defensive patterns prevent our clients from moving through life with flow, vitality and grace.
For each body type you’ll discover: how they engage in life, their main issues, their hidden agendas, how they feel, how they make others feel, how they speak, their human challenge, their spiritual life task, early imprinting, the energy centers most affected, their shadow emotions, how their overall energy feels; what physical, emotional, and psychological difficulties each body type is prone to, and the gifts and talents of each one. You’ll learn short and long-term healing practices for each.
The training goal is to begin to recognize the body types -- to ascertain what psycho/emotional/spiritual dynamics are at play for your clients. This is fascinating information you can put to immediate use in your practice.
This program is NASW/CT approved for 6 CECs.
