Transform Habitual behaviours and have more fun in life

Do you want to transform your habitual behaviours and get more out of Life? 

Take the opportunity to leave some old habits behind, and create new functional ways of being.  Make your world bigger, to include the things you thought you couldn’t ever do. Become empowered in your circumstances, your relationships, your business, in your life and grow in new and unexpected ways. Five Steps

• Five Steps
• Five Modules
• Five Elements in the Intention– Manifestation Protocols.

The Five Modules, taken individually, or in series, provide you with tools for life. And, if you wish, are a pathway to becoming a Body Harmony Practitioner.

Body Harmony is an  education process to help you fulfil your potential.  You learn practical steps that help you to create the life you want. Aspiring Practitioners will learn techniques to really meet clients where they are, and explore experiences that support client’s intentions.

Whilst you can start anywhere in your Body Harmony discovery, this is the basic training that  gives you the tools, empowering you to be all that you can be. This is a tailor made course to what you want to create in your life. Develop skills from the inside out through experiences that support and inform you in life.

The principles of Body Harmony are based in the science of Quantum Physics and Behavioural Science. The technique is a synthesis of touch, awareness explorations, breathwork bodywork and movement. The Art is applying the techniques and principles in a way that addresses the individuality of every person.

The difference is you.

Robyn Barraclough, Body Harmony Teacher, Herbalist, Homoeopath, will be teaching The Applied Body Harmony Series with Meredith Dolan and Brendan Allen in 2013

I suggest you apply the content to issues which make a difference to you. Experience the possibilities come to life.

Creating New Habits

Robyn recently taught a one day Class on the Posture of Pain and how to Overcome it. This class focused on creating new healthy habits to get you out of pain and into life.

The module series goes into much greater detail to give you tools to  create the life you want:

• Change old habits,
• Create healthy habits,
• Develop experiences in your life that support you instead of hinder you in what you want to achieve.
• Discover possibilities you may only have dreamed of before
• And more…
  

  Body Harmony touch can invite a suggestion to the tissue that supports a new experience.

You can apply the skills taught to any situation

 “When you know how to create Tiny Habits,you can change your life forever.”
BJ Fogg, PhD
Director, Persuasive Tech Lab

Stanford University

 In body harmony you develop new experiences that you can take home with you. Your practitioner may give you a tiny piece of homework to reinforce those experiences.

BJ Fogg has some great advice about creating new habits

Make it tiny— to create a new habit, you must first simplify the behaviour, even ridiculous, to make it easy to do—like flossing one tooth

Find a Spot— in your routine that it comes after—like brushing your teeth

Train the cycle—do it as part of your routine every day, with reminders if need be.

Step outside the habit of pain

What can I do to alter the habit of pain?

Habit of Attraction – Take a moment if you will and breathe into your body. Take your awareness into each different area, your head, your chest, your arms your torso, your legs… What are you aware of? Do you habitually notice what is painful, or what is easy and moving?

Meredith Dolan – International Body Harmony Teacher, Co-creator of the Applied Body Harmony Series, receiving a Body Harmony session

Differentiate the qualities – so often we lump pain into a big bundle of its own. Sometimes it can be useful to differentiate the physical sensations of pain.

Eg. Stretching, contracting, compressive, pulling, or the colour or texture of the sensation. This can untangle the sensation and offer another possibility to emerge.

Choose your suggestion – When you notice an area of your body where your breath flows easily, introduce some small undulations into your body. What effect does that have on other areas of your body?

Bring it all together – In our Posture of Pain Class, we explored our awareness of a painful area in conjunction with the sensations of an area that felt easy. What participants found was that the area of ease informed the painful area how to find its own ease and relaxation.

Take it home -  a reference point of ease that you can refer to each day and remind yourself by accessing that posture.

“The Heart of the Matter” with Don and Linda McFarland

Don McFarland Author of "Body Secrets"

Sat 8th– Sun 9th October 2011, 9:30am-5:30pm.

In virtually all human cultures, ancient and modern, the heart has long been regarded as a source of wisdom and information beyond normal awareness.

Far more than a simple pump, as was once believed, The heart is now recognized by scientists as a highly complex system with it’s own functional “brain.”

“The heart is the perfection of the whole organism. Therefore the principles of the power of perception and the soul’s ability to nourish itself must lie in the heart”  -Aristotle

Have you ever thought your brain could be informing or giving shape to your body’s functions?

How does your heart influence your perceptions, and your behaviour?

What are your personal heart metaphors?

• For example take heart, heart felt, open-hearted, let’s get to the heart of the matter.

Why do this course?

This 2 day experience will help you get to the heart of the matter—for you.

Learn skills to align your heart to your intentions,

Experience your hearts current “mindset” and have the opportunity to re-create your template from now on.

Reshape your body’s functions, your perceptions and behaviour

A great opportunity to nurture, mend or open your heart.

Don McFarland, the founder of Body Harmony has six decades of experience in the transformational arts.  He is Author of “Body Secrets” and “Benedictions of Pan”

How does your Heart “In-Form” your body and perceptions?

Have you ever thought that your heart could be “informing”  or giving shape to your Body’s functions?

The heart is the most powerful  generator of rhythmic fields in the body, and as such has a powerful influence on processes throughout the body.  The Institute of Heart Math  research has found that brain rhythms naturally synchronise to the hearts rhythmic activity, and that during sustained feelings of love or appreciation, the blood pressure and respiratory rhythms, among other oscillatory systems, entrain to the heart’s rhythm. Rollin McCraty PhD says that the hearts field acts as a carrier wave for information that provides a global synchronising signal for the entire body. when these waves radiate out from the heart, they interact with organs and other structures, the waves encode or record the features and dynamic activity of these structures. This encoded information acts to “in-form” (literally, give shape to) the activity of all bodily functions.

Did you also know that Heart and Intuition research indicates that the heart and the brain  receive information about an event before it actually happens. Further research suggests that the heart appears to receive this “intuitive” information before the brain.

What Actions Can I Take for a Happy Heart, Mind, and Body?

Angiogram of a healthy heart

Appreciation – appreciate  your body’s success. Love and appreciation stimulate the hearts governing ability to calm, and align your body and mind. Breathe appreciation into those forgotten corners, and reactivate your internal pulsations.

Choose your heart entrainment. What is your heart entrained to? Take some time out in nature and connect. Breathe in the wonder of nature. Share a caring touch with someone you love. Look for opportunities for your heart to entrain to a calm pulsation, rather than frustration, or upset.

The Power of Gratitude – did you know that when you feel gratitude, your whole brain lights up. Did you also know that when you experience gratitude, you perceive that episode as already happened, – past tense… So what if you are grateful now, for the wonderful day you are yet to have? Joe Dispensa in the video “Change your Brain” asks a man, who was told 25 years ago, that he had terminal cancer, and had six months to live,— why was he still alive? The mans response “I wake up every day and say Thank you for giving me another day”. Joe Dispensa suggests this man’s gratitude each day programmed him to live that day… Every day for 25 years.

The Heart of the Matter -8th & 9th October 2011

Don and Linda McFarland bring ease, efficiency and enjoyment to whatever class they teach.

In Body Harmony our field of exploration is the relationships between your physiology (your body), your perception, your behaviour and your posture. We then discover how you can realign your intentions with your behaviour, your posture, and your perceptions.

We do this by exploring the relationships within your body as reflected in your posture and movement. Within this course you have the opportunity to redefine the relationship of your heart with the rest of your body, and to experience your body, and your life, in a whole new light.

Research in the new discipline of neurocardiology shows that the heart is a sensory organ and a sophisticated centre for receiving and processing information. The nervous system within the heart (or “heart brain”) enables it to learn, remember, and make functional decisions independent of the brain’s cerebral cortex. Moreover, numerous experiments have demonstrated that the signals the heart continuously sends to the brain influence the function of higher brain centres involved in perception, cognition and emotional processing.

What are your “Matters of the Heart”?For some it is physical—from blood pressure to heart murmurs, for others relational—with loved ones, for others spiritual—connection to god or nature.

Inside the heart - When we feel things strongly, they pull on our heartstrings - a physiological basis for our metaphors in common language

The class is personalised to the needs of the participants. You don’t need to have any previous Body Harmony® experience or specific knowledge to attend.  Bring yourself, wear some comfortable clothes, and enjoy! Learning is through experience.

In “The Heart of the Matter” discover how you can bring more ease, efficiency, and enjoyment into your heart, and your life.

Join us 8th -9th October, 9:30-5:30pm to discover more. Morning and afternoon tea provided.
