HeartTouch
Embodied Mindfulness & Compassionate Touch for Well-being & Vitality.
An experiential & transformative workshop for people experiencing physical or emotional distress, chronic pain and illness or simply seeking to connect with themselves in deeper more authentic ways and enhance their capacity to be present for others.
Therapists seeking to develop their capacity to work with trauma and distress are also welcome.
Much of what causes us long-term distress, whether it manifests as mental health issues or chronic physical illness and pain is associated with, or at least made worse by, our nervous system being disregulated and by making use of some simple practices we can change this.
The Otley Studio, Three Horseshoes Yard, Otley, LS21 1BQ.
25th April 2025 19.00-21.00
Embodied Mindfulness is a way of being in which you are fully connected with your body and you feel safe.
Your mind is quiet and present to your experience of life happening that moment and your heart feels warm and open to yourself and to those around you.
This is a state of well-being and good feeling.
We will explore together how mindfulness & touch based connection practices can help us to move closer towards this state.
We are not looking for 'cures' or 'fixes'.
Whatever our role or situation, we are learning to be with ourselves and to be ourselves. Just as important we are learning to be fully present with others.
As we transform the way we relate to ourselves, our experiences and the world, symptoms which distress us may also change.
And this will touch everything we do in life from then on...
About Anthony:
I had my own journey first with anxiety, panic attacks and mild depression while in my final year at Cambridge University in 1991.
This continued during my work as a financial auditor, where I experienced chronic stress and then as a software programmer where I went into a meltdown of physical and mental fatigue. A serious breakdown / burnout.
Despite massive efforts to heal myself, this journey continued in 2001, with me entering non-ordinary states, we can say spiritual psychosis perhaps.
After an 8 month period in the psychiatric system, I came off anti-psychotic medications and took personal responsibility for my own well-being. This journey continued for the next 8 years with me going in an out of challenging non-ordinary states until I stabilised in 2010.
Over time I've become a qualified Mindfulness teacher, Tai Chi & Qi Gong teacher and have been teaching since 2015. I am also an experienced student of the late Akinobu Kishi , the founder of Sei Ki and teach his amazing touch therapy in my own way. I've spent twenty-five years exploring these fields with total dedication.
I found my own ways to recover and live a full life and now share what I learnt with others experiencing extreme states, trauma, broken nervous systems or simply chronic stress situations.
