Body Awareness Training is a way of training to increase awareness of and in your body. Training in connection with your body gives you the opportunity to work within yourself and change your outer reality. Think of: Improved health, improved relationships, living your passion, and feeling more vital and full of life. In this way we can unconsciously release accumulated pain that we have accumulated over the years, with the result that we take control in our own hands. We will work in a holistic way, tune in to you and we will create a tailor-made trajectory. The tools that are used vary, which makes the process versatile and personal.
PHYSICALLY
Body Awareness is concerned with the way we move in the world and the degree of awareness we have with every movement we make. In the first stages of our lives, we learn to develop the following skills: rolling, crawling, creating balance, standing and walking. These are the first motor developments of our first phase of life. Due to a sedentary lifestyle in our modern Western society, these skills are deteriorating. This causes various physical complaints, such as getting neck and back complaints due to taking the wrong postures for years. The shortening and weakening of the muscles, ligaments and tendons is also a result of this.
EMOTIONS
How do emotions relate to the body and Body Awareness? The body is a good indicator to find out whether your emotions are bottled up so that the energy flow no longer flows optimally or even stagnates. Think of your body as the river bed and your energy as the water (life energy). If the river bed is covered with a large amount of stones, the water will flow less well and a blockage will occur sooner. The water will find its way, but will flow less smoothly. It works the same way with our bodies. To ensure that our life energy continues to flow properly, it is important to create awareness in what we feel.
TRAUMA
Sometimes situations are so intense, for whatever reason, that we are unconsciously not in our body at such a moment. The consequences of not being in the body, not feeling it and not being connected to our feeling, makes us more likely to miss signals that we receive from the body. Not being in the body, or being dissociated, may have been acquired through trauma, which we often suffered in childhood or adulthood. The trauma stores itself in the body and subconsciously everything is done not to feel that trauma again. As a result, certain behavior becomes visible: wanting to keep control, wanting to be overly visible, seeking recognition outside yourself, seeking security in money, for example, etc.
