INTELLIGENT BODY SENSE
Participants often exclaim, "This is like meditation, only it's not! It's learning from the inside yet brings me to the same place as meditation." What I hear them describe is the discovery of self action.
These simple, practical non-secular tools designed to self explore creates clarity of self action, self-use and result in a different experience. An experience being identified as being in active meditation. Could this be simply a comparison to the qualities of clarity, ease, understanding and ability?
POSTURE MIRRORS OUR ACTION IN LIFE - CHANGE POSTURE - CHANGE ACTION
PERCEPTION AND RESPONSE CREATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH SELF AND OTHERS ~ CHANGE INTERACTION ~ CHANGE RELATIONSHIPS
SURROUNDINGS SUPPORT OUR EXPERIENCE ~ CHANGE SURROUNDINGS ~ CHANGE SUPPORT
Training oneself to listen to their inner quality creates the space to develop self value, self empathy, self understanding and empowers development of support through personal source of action.
Attachment to dependence upon outside influences as the cause decreases
Perspective changes with development of a stronger self image.
INTEGRATION OF THE ELEMENTS IN HUMAN FUNCTION; discernment (mental clarity), body (movement), environment (conditions), opens us to SELF RESPONSIBILITY, SELF FULFILLMENT
ERGO~LESS CONFLICT, INCREASED VITALITY, SELF REASSURANCE, KINDNESS THROUGH ACTION
`Ripple Effect of Intention`
Movement is motivated by intention, our actions are motivated by intention and our cultural surroundings create an intention. Beginning in awareness of personal motivations in any one of these areas enhances life's quality and doesn't stop there. It expands outward.
Ease in physical function translates to ease in mental and emotional states.
Easier interactions translates to increased freedom of movement and increased space in mental states.
Increased spaciousness in our environment increases harmony and freedom in our experience.

MORE ON THE METHODS: Methods designed to integrate relationships to elements of human functioning through recognition. Techniques to map felt experience introduces balance and plants seeds for a fuller experience, deeper quality and more discrimination of action.
~discrimination in physical movement could mean increased ability in an action from simply sitting better to achieving a gold in a sporting or creative event.
~discrimination of integrating how we receive and express information could mean clearer boundaries and easiser connections achieving satisfying connection even in difficult situations and interactions.

I teach the Alexander Technique, a body-mind method of learning to release excess tension in order to regain natural movement, restore health, recover from trauma, or explore the energetic connection between body, mind, and spirit. Using gentle touch and verbal guidance, in an hour-long private lesson, we let go of unconscious habit and reconnect to our authentic selves. I specialize in applying the AT to childbirth and the performing arts, but people from all walks of life can benefit from Alexander lessons. Semi-private lessons and group classes also available. 
CHEEK-E-BOOM is spontaneous creative expression of “PASSION” that the Divine expresses through each of us individually. As a healer/minister, I facilitate spiritual awakening and growth through spiritual movement/sacred dance. Cheek-e-boom opens the mind to a dialogue with spirit and expression through the body, thus releasing the illusion; creating healing and wholeness. We cast a circle within Sacred Space as we explore our own expression of Divine.
