Module 1: Your Physical Body — Learn the Language of Your Nervous System to Reduce Pain & Increase Flexibility
Chronic pain, discomfort, and stiffness can sometimes make you want to shut down and escape. Yet sensation and movement are the keys to moving from pain to pleasure.
As your journey through this course begins, Lavinia will explain how the pain loop can be interrupted with gentle, safe movements that direct your nervous system’s attention toward greater ease and improved function.
She’ll share how understanding your movement choices can reduce back pain and reduce tension, introducing you to experiencing your own anatomy and your sixth sense. (And no, it’s not ESP!)
You’ll explore how tension affects your ability to perceive yourself, and how it affects oxygen and cellular structure. You’ll learn why so many people have emotional, mental, and physical tension that results in back pain — and how somatic movement can relieve pain and expand proprioceptive movement.
Lavinia will guide you to examine how the concept of rotation — the ability to turn and be flexible in the spine — affects your ability to respond, receive, and allow information to flow within your body.
Module 2: Your Emotional Body — Improve Your Mood as You Improve Your Posture
Even when you don’t realize it, you’re using your body to communicate — not just with others, but also with yourself.
For instance, your head, which can weigh up to 15 pounds, rests on top of your spine. Or does it? If your head is forward, or hanging down, gravity pulls your spine down, rounding your back. This influences your mood and how others perceive you.
Lavinia will explain how your posture, breath, and facial expression communicate feelings to yourself and others. You’ll learn how the position of your head affects and reflects certain emotions, as well as strategies for putting your head “in its place” for optimal posture and ease.
Module 3: Your Mental Body — Apply Intelligent Choice to Your Actions
When you know what you’re doing, you can do what you want.
— Moshe Feldenkrais
To truly know yourself, you need to observe yourself.
As Lavinia will explain, your ability to attend to your thoughts, emotions, and sensations begins with a clear mind.
By becoming aware of how you move, you become aware of habits and tensions that interfere with clear thinking and action. She’ll share how to make a plan and follow it, observing the results and reflecting along the way — with clarity of thinking towards not just your movement, but also your life.
You’ll also explore the movement of folding and unfolding — how to expand yourself when tense thoughts cause contraction, affecting your body as well as limiting your choices and your ability to move forward.
Lavinia will explain how to visualize movements so you know ahead of time how you’re going to move (which reduces fear of the unknown), as well as how your life transforms as you follow them through.
Module 4: Your Creative Body — Open to New Possibilities & Spontaneity
You’re a creator of your reality and your destiny. Whether you’re creating a product, a relationship, or an atmosphere for joy, the process is the same.
Finding yourself in an unexpected circumstance, novel situation, or a new position can be frightening or exhilarating! The ability to see what’s necessary, remain curious, and allow yourself to be in the unknown can make the impossible possible.
Lavinia will explain how strategy, imagination, and successive approximations lead to an effective creative act. You’ll explore how learning to let go, make mistakes, and play without judgment makes living itself a creative act.
Module 5: Your Archetypal Body — Discover the Healer Archetype & the Power of Your Hands to Address Wounds
Exploring Archetypes is a powerful and enriching way to go deeper into personal growth.
The Kinēsa Process focuses on four powerful archetypes that offer you tools for becoming the change you want to see in this world.
Lavinia will guide you to access the center of presence of the Healer Archetype — the power of your hands to heal yourself. From ancient traditions to modern science, you’ll learn about the power your hands hold for healing, harming, communicating, and impacting you as a whole person.
You’ll activate your hand energy for healing, helping you release tension in your chest, neck, back, and shoulders.
Module 6: Your Energy Body — Finding Your Voice, Speaking Your Truth & Unlocking Your Jaw
Imprisoning the energy of the fifth chakra can constrict the throat, lock the jaw, and make you literally tongue tied…
This imprisoned energy of the fifth chakra can lead to TMJ dysfunction, headaches, a stiff neck, a weak voice, and more. As Lavinia will share, she often wonders whether she became a mime because she was told to shut up so many times as a child.
Lavinia will help you open your throat, relax your jaw, and allow your voice to move with your energy to manifest the power of your word.
Module 7: Your Alchemical Body — Access the Power of Inner Transformation
The ancient alchemists used the transformation of lead into gold as a metaphor for inner transformation — preparing the self to access higher powers and a connection with the Divine.
At this point in your journey, Lavinia will have guided you to expand your self-image and your possibilities.
As these seven modules come to a close, you’ll be invited to experience your inner illumination. In the process, you’ll learn to recognize your perceived limitations and begin the journey toward inner freedom.
Along the way, you’ll receive guidance for moving from sorrow to joy, pain to pleasure, intention to action, and potential to possibility. You’ll also gain insight into how to expand yourself to embrace your highest worth.
