This course gives you the resources, knowledge, support and shows you the way for taking your health in your own hands, and it does so by creating a great environment and curriculum to support you on taking that up! Moreover, this is a truly revolutionary program bringing together SE, somatic practice, polyvagal theory and Feldenkrais, the disciplines that celebrate and investigate best the process of self-learning and self-healing.
For me, this program reflects best the hopeful future of a genuinely humanitarian view of health, where we learn how to self-regulate and self-heal. In addition, this is a program truly made with love and a sense of mission from people that have chosen to go through this healing path themselves and met their own resistances along the way and keep doing so, once you go through this work you realize how much thought and work Irene Lyon has put into this, her dedication is truly, truly admiring!
As for my experience, the first round I did 2 years ago were some of the most beautiful months of my life. In the first round I had already experienced huge changes in my health! Having said that, I have to say that when I enter the course I was totally ready to immerse myself in that process and met with very little resistance as this process resonated with me from the very start and I believed in it.
The biggest overall change is that when the course started I was in deep shut down and living in pure survival energy 24 hours a day. I had stopped working and I could hardly talk from the fatigue and pain flare-ups. I thought that I had regressed so badly it would take me months to get back on track. Well, now that feels like a different life time! I work more than ever and I enjoy it more than ever, I still need to take more days off than others and take care not to overdo it, but there is a big shift!
If it resonates with you, and if you are ready to take your health in your own hands along this nervous system path, I’d encourage you to stick with it and meet your resistances on the way with a smile! Once you experience your body being able to do little shifts towards safety a whole world of healing opens up to you. Every little internal experience of safety, is a moment where you learn to trust in your body’s spontaneous wisdom towards healing, and once you sense you can trust your body, well there’s no trust more powerful than that to keep you going!
