Origins of Gnosis of the Body...

Gnosis of the Body

"We suffer very much from the fact that we consist of mind and have lost the body."

Carl Jung, Nietzsche's Zarathustra:Notes of the Seminar Given, 1934-1939, Vol 1. p.251

Gnosis of the Body, where we explore embodied wisdom in healing the cultures’ mind body split through personal stories.

Pulling from the vast array of fields in my education, healing practice and experience, I use Archetypal Symbolism, Jungian analytical psychology,developmental psychology, Attachment Theory, theories about nervous system regulation, trauma research in neurology, research in psychedelic therapy, sociology, sexology, yogic philosophy & spirituality,

to see what they have to tell us about how body based practices like yoga, breathwork, meditation,

which can lead to regulation of the nervous system, and to alleviation of physiological symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, inexplicable body aches and healing illnesses and sexual dysfunction; subjects which fall under the ubiquitous over used title of “healing” in spiritual circles.

With my psychology training as grounding resource, I examine the mind body connection;

how the body tells us about our subconscious,

examine perspectives on mystical experiences from body based spiritual practices and psychedelics, and how the body serves as a vessel for spiritual awakenings,

and how increased spirituality is one of the most universal psychological therapeutic assets and individual can posses on their quest to come back to the union of wholeness.
