Welcome to the launch of my “Occupy Your Body!” movement. My mission in life is to help people come back home to themselves, to integrate body, mind and soul and to be grounded in embodied self-awareness. That’s the only way to “be mindful,” ‘live in the Present Moment,” or have awareness of what is really […]
I’m happy to report that our Rosen Method community is growing. We have a new Introductory Workshop Teacher, Ann Harnish, who, along with our Intern Priscilla Varland, has recruited enough students to start a new monthly support group. I’ve learned a lot in the process. We asked the last group of workshop students how Rosen […]
Our bodies need to experience being safe in order to heal, and to learn anything new. That is why creating the conditions of safety is so important to me when teaching a class or leading a workshop, just as important as in a private session. I’ve thought a lot about this. Although I still am […]
In my humble opinion, some of us are dealt more than a human being should be expected to handle. When one major trauma is enough to derail a life, and another happens that causes injury, and while trying to deal with that, another happens that makes one feel unsafe even in the present, then I […]
My current Writing to Heal class is an amazing group of people with different backgrounds and histories. And it shows me once again that the ordinary people you meet in your life, who are going about working, raising families, retiring, etc. are heroes. They have faced unimaginable sorrows and traumas, yet they persevere to show […]
In the past months, I’ve been teaching many Writing to Heal and/or Visual Journaling classes. I am endlessly amazed at the efficacy of the exercises. They seem so simple, and yet they’re so powerful that real shifts happen in perspective, mood, relationships, and life choices. Here’s what some of my students say: I didn’t know […]
Hi everybody. Today, I am home by my wood stove as our winter storm continues. We already have 22 inches, and I’m not going anywhere. I have not added a word to my blog in about a year, with the excuse of busy-ness. Today, no excuses. I’ve been asking myself, why the silence all this […]
Last week, my colleague Ivy Green and I taught a Rosen Method Bodywork intensive together. Those who attended are calling it “amazing,” “transformational,” and “so safe!” I’ve been contemplating what “safe” means, and how to create a safe environment for learning and personal growth. “Growth” is a weak word for what we do. What we […]
Writing to Heal by Anais Salibian published in Rochester Woman Magazine, Sept./Oct. 2008 Wow, I’m seeing my life in a whole new way!” “I can’t believe how good I feel. I was so stressed when I came in; now my shoulders don’t hurt.” These comments came from people after the first night of a […]
Rosen Method: A Tool for Profound Change published in the Rochester Health Journal, Spring 1998 Although there is a lot of talk these days about the mind-body connection, it seems to be an abstraction for most of us. With Rosen Method you experience how thoughts and feelings are embedded in our physical structure, and […]
“Stress is not being yourself” from The Brighton-Pittsford Post, July 22, 1998 Back in the days when medical science discovered that stress contributes to pain and disease, I saw it as a welcome piece of enlightenment. By now, I am getting mighty tired of hearing people attribute their symptoms to “stress,” as if that […]
