The Foundation of Mindfulness Centered Therapies is Hakomi
Mindfulness Centered Therapies has its roots in Hakomi. Hakomi is an experiential psychotherapy that combines the Eastern traditions of mindfulness and nonviolence with a unique, highly effective Western methodology. It is also a body-centered psychotherapy. The body’s structures and habitual patterns become a powerful doorway to unconscious core material (extreme beliefs), which shape our lives, relationships, and self-image. The Hakomi method quickly accesses this core material, allowing it to emerge safely into consciousness.
Once conscious these extreme beliefs can be re-evaluated, and where appropriate, powerfully transformed. New dimensions of awareness emerge and are integrated, helping the individual build a more satisfying and effective life. Loving presence and the healing relationship are central to Hakomi. The process creates an exquisite level of sensitivity and attunement between therapist and client, developing a deep since of safely and security.
