Understanding the mind-body connection is key to freeing ourselves from the protective mechanism by which the brain and nervous system create chronic pain.
When repressed emotions are allowed to surface, the body settles into an equilibrium that eliminates pain signals sent in a fight or flight mode.
Guided by Nicole Sachs and her assistant teachers, you discover precisely how to invite these repressed feelings to rise, leading to a mind-body transformation. Through discussion, meditation, art therapy, energy work, yoga, and other healing practices, you establish a bedrock foundation for longlasting wellness.
