Hakomi online teaching series "Why love matters", part 2

We are relational beings and it is in relationships that we grow get hurt and heal. The research of love tells us about the impact that loving relationships of all kinds have on our bodies and minds. The benefits are multiple like stronger immune systems higher survival rates of major surgery and cancer faster healing lower blood pressure less pain fewer strokes and heart attacks and better mental health.

The hormone oxytocin increases in loving relationships a neurotransmitter associated with a calmer more mature form of love connection and compassion. Let’s explore in a gentle and experiential Hakomi Way our deepest beliefs about loving connections and the possibilities for new experiences.

In Hakomi we practice to embody Loving Presence a state of mind that invites compassion and is profoundly nurturing and rewarding for ourselves and others. It offers a healing connection for both the practitioner and the client. We can relate in Loving Presence to ourselves others and the world we meet and it will change us.

The word Hakomi is an expression of an old Hopi language and translates as the ancient question of „who are you in all these many realms“ . It invites a gentle and experiential exploration of the automaticity of being bringing awareness to unconscious habits and beliefs that define our reality and determine our behaviour in the world and that are causing habitual unnecessary suffering.

Hakomi as a journey of assisted self discovery reveals new possibilities more freedom and space from our fixed identity. We acces the body as a doorway to these hidden ideas rules and also the healing wisdom that lives within us.
