We experience life through our bodies. Despite this, our attention is usually focused on our thoughts and our actions. We tend to forget that we have a body unless we notice that it hurts.

In the course of our life we have learned specific ways of dealing with unpleasant sensations. When we feel neck or back pain, for instance, while we're working on something really important... then we often adopt a posture to avoid the pain so we can keep going. Our body has to burn a lot of its energy that way. We are making extra efforts not to feel the strained neck and back. Once we finally take the time to rest or move, we have a stiff neck, an aching back, or a piercing headache.

We could meet the same situation differently: feel the neck pain and relax our head, neck and shoulders. Breathe deeply and notice what it is we need right now - to rest, to change what we are doing, to move.

In order for this step to happen, we need body attention. In the sessions you will learn to focus your awareness on your body. You will learn to change your breathing patterns and to feel your own limitations - and to expand them, according to your symptoms and the aim you wish to achieve.
