Pain as a Pathway to Awakening: Methods for Treating Physical Pain

Course overview

In this series, I will explore how pain, in its various forms are pathway to awakening and wholeness. Participants will learn theory and practical application for various pain presentations using a mixture of Chinese medical wisdom and subtle healing tools. The lumina process is a modality developed by Alexander Love, that draws upon the wisdom of Chinese medicine, Internal Family Systems, the work of Kim Barta, neuroscience, and his own discoveries with clients. Participants will be introduced to basic 'parts' theory from a Chinese medicine perspective and how the yin and yang guardian parts are often a primary cause of physical pain and how to support your clients to interact with these parts to reduce or eliminate pain, sometimes in seconds. Further, students will learn strategies to sustain the work by learning tools to re-pattern the nervous system to help the changes hold. Additional strategies will taught to use acupuncture as an accompaniment to the inner parts work.
