Discovering The Body's Voice Through Body-Centered Inquiry
With Nancy BuntThis course will guide you through the foundations of body-centered inquiry, which is a mindful process of listening to the body's inner signals in order to access healing, clarity, and deep self-knowing. This course is grounded in the practice of relational inner listening, which is an approach that invites you to meet the moment-to-moment bodily experience with curiosity, presence, and respect. Rather than using mindfulness solely to observe or calm the mind, this practice encourages an ongoing relationship with the body's inner intelligence. We explore not just awareness of the body, but awareness with the body, as a co-participant in your healing, growth, and insight. You'll begin to develop the ability to really listen to the body's subtle messages, meet any discomfort with compassion, and discover the intuitive wisdom that lives beneath the surface of conscious thought. There are four lessons in this course, and you're encouraged to spend a little time working with each lesson. At the end of each lesson are some suggestions for practice in between. Trust yourself on what feels like the best pacing for you as you move through this course.
