The Practice

This practice involves observation and understanding which you you incorporate into your everyday life. From this you gain a true understanding of your life. Therefore, positive change occurs organically and naturally as your authentic self emerges from inside the conditioning and manipulation that has taken over your life over the years.

This practice has a long and powerful background. It was developed from work by philosophers and psychologists such as Epictetus, Plato, Spinoza, Schopenhauer, G.I. Gurdjieff, Rina Hands, and Robert Daniel Ennis. In addition, in terms of psychology, it uses similar methods to Gestalt, a method of seeing the individual holistically. In conclusion, through this practice you gain power in understanding self, of others, and of what shapes the world.

Understanding the Practice

There are three aspects practice: body, mind, and emotions.

Body

Unlock the full potential of your well-being through a holistic approach that delves into the intricate interplay of body, mind, and emotions. As your therapist, I guide you in unraveling the complexities of your existence, starting with your body. Together, we explore how external influences shape and resonate within you, shedding light on the subtle triggers that impact your well-being.

Mind

Moving to the realm of the mind, we navigate through the labyrinth of false narratives woven by your imagination. By directing your focus towards your body and its immediate surroundings, we liberate you from the burdensome illusions that fuel emotional turmoil and physical stress.

Emotions

Embracing your emotions becomes a catalyst for empowerment. I help you confront and transcend the paralyzing grip of fear, paving the way for personal growth. In this transformative practice, we break through barriers, fostering not just self-confidence but also inner peace, emotional freedom, and a profound sense of personal power. Your journey toward a more enriched and empowered self begins with the mindful observation and understanding that define our therapeutic partnership.

He worked for several years with Rina Hands, who, in turn, worked with Gurdjieff, and as such, he has direct lineage in the Gurdjieff work. He also worked inside Fourth Way and Zen schools. More recently, he has turned to the western philosophers. Transcendental Idealism by Kant and the work of Spinoza and Schopenhauer, amongst others, influence his understanding and teaching.
