Stress Release

The Seva Stress Release Acupressure protocol was developed by the Soul Lightening International faculty following the events of 9-11-01. The protocol was designed to address the stress, shock and trauma with rescue workers at Ground Zero. The protocol is now taught as a self care protocol. The word “Seva” is Sanskrit for compassionate, selfless service.

The Body Knows

Based on Bessel Van der Kolk’s book, The Body Keeps The Score, we will explore the impact of stress and trauma on the body. Approaching trauma from only a cognitive approach or a bodywork approach cannot effectively address the held tension imprinted in the body. A combination of approaches integrating the body, mind, emotions and soul can activate the body’s innate ability to heal.
