Embodying Emotions

by Raja Selvam, PhD

What is the practice of embodying emotion? What is the science behind it? In addition to helping to resolve psychophysiological symptoms, how does it help in resolving physical, energetic, emotional, and relational symptoms? 

In his first contribution, Dr. Selvam considers these questions related to his book, "The Practice of Embodying Emotions: A Guide for Improving Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral Outcomes".

SE+AM: The Value of Aliveness

by Weena Pauly-Tarr, Creator of SE+AM, C-IAYT, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Dancer 

In the second blog entry of a three-part series about the body-centered modality she is developing called, SE+AM (Somatic Experiencing + Authentic Movement), Weena Pauly-Tarr dives into the structure and mechanics of this emergent therapeutic practice.

Weena lays out how she creates a framework for her clients so they may remove layers of unsupportive societal structures. With agreements in place and relying on impulse as a guide, this work seeks levity, positive regard, and equity by connecting with one's movement as related to self and within one's community and culture. 

The mission of The Idea Crucible is to foster community and discussion for the next generation of bodymindspirit wisdom. 

We cannot be whole without incorporating all of our parts. Our mission has a strong value for diversity, equity, and belonging as part of our educational strategy.
