Release Stress and Claim Joy!

Stress is a common occurrence for many of us! The problem with stress is when it is chronic, overwhelming, or when we don’t have good stress management tools.

The mindfulness, resource-based movement practice of Open Floor International is one of the best ways, I know to release stress and allow the body to self-regulate.

The Holiday PAUSE: Joy, Cheer, Stress, Grief, and Loneliness

The holidays can get busy, running from events to stores to school concerts, they can bring cheer and joy, and they can bring stress, grief, and loneliness.

One of the best ways that I have found to handle big emotions is the resource-based conscious movement practice of Open Floor International. It provides connection, support, and allows your body to regulate. PAUSE is one of Open Floor International’s core movement resources.

HUNGER FOR SPIRIT

HUNGER FOR SPIRIT

Our hunger for SPIRIT is the “holy longing” we feel to connect beyond what we can see, to be held, and guided as we move through life. To seek “refuge” in the great mystery. We work on dissolving our identities and the labels we carry to sense our pure essence.

The Embodied Soul!

The Embodied Soul!

The gift of an embodied soul is connecting to something beyond ourselves, to sense deep meaning in life, and to be with all that is around and in us (the natural world, others, and presence of self). Working with embodied soul allows us to:

-Tap into Lifeforce/Source/God energy

-Enliven

-Navigate via our internal compass as we make life choices

-Cultivate authenticity, creativity, and intuition

-Dance with mystery and uncertainty

All classes over the next several months will be moving with SPIRIT and SOUL. Come checkout a SOUL MOVES class and the Sweet Surrender MINI RETREAT Turn-of-the-Year.

The Therapeutic Power of Music

The Therapeutic Power of Music

Most of us have been there, either at a concert, or listening to the radio in the car, and a song comes on that, WOW, feels like it was written for you, cuts to the core, moves you in some remarkable way. Music is powerful. Around the globe and for ions music has been part of human culture. We use music to celebrate, regulate, express, dance, and to be moved.

Research supports that music has many benefits. At Coriander Living Collective, we use biolateral and bilateral music while doing BRAINSPOTTING and EMDR. These special types of music enhance right-left brain communication, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. It’s a great tool, I often teach clients about to regulate and calm their nervous systems outside of sessions as well.

The Neuroscience of Being Human and How Open Floor Practice Can Help!

The Neuroscience of Being Human and How Open Floor Practice Can Help!

Open Floor International practice allows us to learn how to be in our bodies and in relationships well. Open Floor International teaches principles that are core to being human. Open Floor International practice increases attunement with self and others, awareness, neural pathways, thought/emotion circuits, mindfulness, and empathy. It provides a safe container to work with our nervous systems and those of others. It encourages shifting out of our stress response system and into our social engagement system. It creates opportunity for challenge and comfort, both of which are needed for human growth.

Intrigued? Ready to give Open Floor a try? Come join Open Floor International Teacher-in-Training, Cori Hildebrandt, MA, LPC WI, LPCC MN for a 3-Part Open Floor Series starting October 8th, 2023. Come join us and workout your system from the top of your brain to the bottoms of your feet!

Do You Know When to Reach Out? And When to Pull Back?

Do You Know When to Reach Out? And When to Pull Back?

Think about little babies, how they cuddle and contract into tight snuggly balls, and how they cry out and expand their bodies when they need something. Or as they learn to venture out and reach for objects and people around them. How a dysregulated child might hide or lash out with hitting. Or how an adult in conflict might avoid or be aggressive. These are all examples of the Open Floor International Core Movement Resource of EXPAND AND CONTRACT. We are constantly opening and closing and extending and pulling back to center.
