More about workshop exploration…
Each IA workshop is unique, and yet the basic premises, including different aspects of The Body’s Map of Consciousness®, are always presented and worked with. The IA Teacher may lead the group through several types of journeys allowing each participant to discover the principles of IA for themselves.
Interweaving movement, enhanced perception and intentionally deepened self-awareness, each student has the opportunity to experience the means by which their personal creating of reality is accomplished. In floor movement segments, everyone spreads out in the room, and a beginning posture is described. Movement suggestions frequently emphasize the importance of small, slow and gentle to produce increased awareness by noticing how you move and where there are restrictions. As you continue, possible meanings and associations with these barriers which influence your entire life occur spontaneously providing opportunities for new choices to appear.
Other elements may include walking in a particular way, standing and sitting with a certain focus of awareness or sequences including gentle touch.
During all of these there are multiple opportunities to see how our behaviors, choices, beliefs and perspectives may have set limits that we no longer recognize or wish to perpetuate. It is not unusual to have realizations or emotional shifts that allow for life-changing choices to arise.
