Prelude
Your body is your source of instinct and intuition and has its own intelligence ~ through it we feel the richness of our lives.

About developing body awareness
Your body is much more than a machine that takes you from place to place or a mere vehicle that needs food, water and air in order to support your thinking self. Very, very few people were born to just “think” – we were born to experience. Your body is made of the fabric or your spirit and your mind. Your body is your source of instinct and intuition and it has its own intelligence ~ through it we FEEL our lives, in all its richness.
In order to know ourselves fully, we must be anchored into our bodies. As long as we disengage and disconnect from our bodies, we are not fully present and we lose access to the valuable information that it provides.
In this self-directed course we will be building one of the pillars of Inner Authority: Body Awareness. We cannot know our whole self or feel confident about our decisions by using the rational mind alone. We all know where this goes: around in circles, full of insecurity, tied up in knots. Getting in touch with what your body wants can make all the difference.
This course is six weeks. Every week a new module will be unlocked for you but feel free to go at your own pace. This course is experiential, not academic, so it will require a certain amount of time to integrate. The lessons build upon one another and ideally participants will continue practicing/embodying new skills and ways of being as they learn them.
As it is self-directed, there will not be live classes or personal advice provided. You are, however, welcome to join the moderated Facebook Group: Inner Authority and receive support from other individuals on a similar path. I will be checking in regularly to make sure things are running smoothly.
