Oddly enough I’ve been studying some tai chi form of late and we had a discussion about music and the analogy that when you get confused and stop at a particular note or point in the form, you lose the sense of the flow and the whole so there has to be continual discernment and untangling of part…Read more

I’m interested in trauma work and I used Bill’s directions to focus on the area of my right cheek and jaw where I have known for many years that I hold tension. At the end of yesterday’s session, I found the…Read more
