Life of Practice

Psychosomatic Imprints happen when we're relating to other beings (both in-real-life and imaginal) and the psychological defences of the bodymind are lowered, so we can internalize the events that are happening as they relate to us.

From that point of view "Trauma" is a life situation in which we've internalized one or more negative imprints as a result of something happening ( example ). Imprints can be feelings , but can also include pain or somatic non-dual states of contraction. Healing happens when we bring the supressed imprints into counscious experiance and fully feel them in our body.

A happy childhood of a person with secure attachment would be full of positive imprints - of being valued, loved, appreciated for their authentic expression - cultivating a feeling of self-worth and healthy self-esteem. Some people lacked that when they were growing up. Healing in this domain happens when we lower our psychological defences and we feel valued, appreciated, loved in our vulnerability.

There are many methods for working with emotions. Very few of them work with imprints and most of them are usually slow. Even fewer methods work well for cultivating positive imprints.

The methods that I've found and developed are optimized for efficiency in this process. Decosntructing negative imprints is based on innovative meditation technique called Parts Noting which is coming from the view of Internal Family Systems, but is not IFS. Constructing positive imprints is based on an innovative meditation technique called Being Delighted In which is inspired from Ideal Parent Figure protocol, but is not IPF.

Ultimately - I'm not a therapist and this is not therapy. The methods that I teach are methods for self-healing. Even though I facilitate them in a group setting with me as facilitator, you can also practice them by yourself.
