Intro to Energetic Basics

​Most of us are raised without a full understanding of how much information our bodily instruments are constantly receiving and transmitting. Without that context, there are many experiences that can seem like a puzzles: 

• ​Feeling drained after hanging out with a friend

• ​Feeling restored and balanced after walking in the woods

• ​Feeling crowded by family even when you’re alone
  

​Part of our human instrument includes the movement of energy (chi) that each of us consciously or unconsciously engages throughout each day. If we become more aware of the energetic aspects of our experience we can develop more skill in how we take care of ourselves and navigate relationships.

​Our time together will focus on experiential investigations of what it is like to tune into our energetic body and develop a felt sense of your own center and being connected to ground. You will leave this intro session with an understanding of four basic energetic practices that can become part of a powerful daily practice if you choose to work with them.
