It seems that most of us want to change, that we want to be more relaxed, healthier, and more alive. However, here lies the basic problem of human change. Although we say, we want a different life -- and may even be involved in many projects for improving ourselves -- there is a part of us which stubbornly resists any fundamental re-directing of our lives. This part of us that refuses to let go is our armor. We call it armor because it is that aspect of us which, being afraid of possible pain and confusion, hardens and desensitizes our bodies and keeps our feelings and thoughts in careful control.

Our armor is all those well-developed postures for dealing with life -- rigid neck, held-in belly, fat rubbery waist. It is all those guarded feelings -- covered up sadness, held-back anger, paralyzing fear. It is those often unstated but controlling beliefs, such as if I try I'll be successful; if I'm kind to you, you should be kind to me. Reflect on your own behavior. Notice the little tricks for getting through the day; how you get yourself going in the mornings, how you keep high by not indulging in negative thoughts, how you put your best foot forward when you want to impress people.

A large part of this behavior becomes second nature to us, set in motion unconsciously, and works well for up to a point as it protects us from pain and confusion. However, these habits also limit us and in the due course of time form a rigid structure, which then inhibits our spontaneity. Postural Integration is offered as a complete sequence of individual sessions. Some aspects of the approach -- breathwork, body awareness and deep work with the soft tissue of the body Postural Integration is a way of helping individuals change in every part of themselves -- in their bodies, feelings and thoughts. It is a powerful tool for increasing your sense of well-being,your capacity to feel and express and even their consciousness and clarity.
