Supporting Digestion

A Self-Care Practice for Late Summer

Using The Wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine

• What does the spleen have to do with digestion?
• What knocks your spleen out of balance? 
• And do you bring the spleen and stomach back into balance? 

Answers to these questions and other aspects of the TCM approach to the spleen and stomach meridians are found within this fourth entry of Alison's 5-part TCM self-care series.

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.
