    Defining Healing (Video 2/12)

    Healing is a personal and unique process of resolving past experiences that still impact our body, emotions, and relationships. It goes beyond coping—aiming for deeper change and integration. Through curiosity, reflection, and body-based awareness, we can process unresolved experiences, shift limiting beliefs, and move toward balance and wellbeing. There’s no one-size-fits-all path; healing unfolds through understanding, practice, and applying what works best for you.

    The Importance of Presence in Healing (Video 3/12)

    Presence is essential for healing and lasting change. Trauma pulls us into the past and anxiety into the future, but healing happens in the present. Mindful presence—awareness of our internal and external experiences without judgment—grounds us and supports regulation. Though slowing down can surface discomfort or unfinished emotions, mindfulness offers tools to face rather than avoid them, helping us reconnect and heal in the moment.
