Embodied Mindfulness for Psychosis

Anthony teaching in Switzerland

A transformative class for people experiencing anxiety, trauma and psychosis.

In these monthly online classes we will explore practices to recover our relationship with the ground, strengthen our abdominal power centre and sense of self, clear emotional intensity and regulate our nervous systems.

We may also discuss cognitive strategies for navigating non-ordinary states as well as handling life in society as an individual having had a spiritual crisis / psychotic breakdown.

Therapists seeking to develop their capacity to work with trauma and psychosis are also welcome.

Much of what causes us long-term distress 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.

Anthony teaching in Switzerland

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'.

We are learning to be with ourselves and to be ourselves.

As we transform the way we relate to ourselves, our experiences and the world, symptoms which distress us may also change.

About Anthony:

Anthony Fidler

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.
