Much of how we think, feel, and relate to others comes from unconscious beliefs and mental habits. These unconscious patterns are shaped by early life experiences and likely helped you get through difficulties when you were younger. However, today they may be preventing you from living your fullest life. Mindfulness is an invaluable tool for transforming our self-limiting beliefs and patterns.
Together we will use mindfulness not only as a coping strategy, but also as a method for bringing greater awareness to your unconscious patterns. We will bring curious, kind attention to all parts of you – your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. Together we will create Hakomi “little experiments” to study your unconscious patterns and beliefs as they’re operating in each moment. Some techniques we may explore include playing with posture, repeating a gesture, and externalizing inner voices.
Recognizing when you are in an old pattern or belief can interrupt your old scripts. It can feel like coming out of a trance. As you take in the present moment, you may suddenly be able to feel emotions you couldn’t before – feelings like safety, pleasure, joy, purpose and belonging. Each time one of these transformative moments happens, we will spend time exploring how that new experience feels in your body so that you can integrate it into your daily life.
