Revolutionary new spiritual therapies join Healers' Conference at EcoTulum
TULUM, Mexico (Aug.14, 2006) - Drawing upon powerful cosmic energies resonating within the Mayan Riviera's mystic past, EcoTulum Resorts & Spa announces the participation of two innovative healing disciplines in Maya Spa's autumnal healers' conference: Holotropic Breathwork and Family Constellations.
Though the two disciplines couldn't be more different, they both aim to heal through self-exploration and a series of consciousness-raising exercises. Holotropic breathwork was developed in the 1970's by combining modern consciousness research and ancient spiritual systems. The technique uses accelerated breathing paired with evocative music to trigger experiences and "non-ordinary states of consciousness," such as dreaming or meditation. It attests that we are our own best healers and by entering non-ordinary states of awareness, breathers open the mind to psychic depths and spiritual understanding that allow for healing on a physical, mental emotional and spiritual level.
To enter the psychic realm, students of Holotropic breathwork-a term derived from the Greek word holos meaning "whole" and trepein meaning "moving in the direction of something"-lie down with eyes closed, allowing their breath and the music to guide consciousness. When the individual has reached his or her holotropic state, a natural inner healing process occurs - triggering anything from lost memories to experiences from birth - helping participants transcend ordinary thoughts and habits.
Family Constellations is a revolutionary approach to healing developed by German Psychotherapist, Bert Hellinger. The practice is based upon revealing the hidden dynamics in family that are often repressed through generations. By exposing these repressed issues in a workshop setting, individuals can work to resolve their problems.
During this type of therapy, an individual must have a clear and long-standing issue to be addressed (for example, feelings of guilt). In setting up a family constellation, workshop attendees are chosen to represent members of the individual's family. The attendees become a living model of the original family system. While the individual looks on, the therapist asks the mock family about their feelings and perceptions.
The session runs its course when everyone feels good in their space, or when an emotionally explosive situation in the family is uncovered. This technique is designed for individuals and couples interested in solving serious issues, relieving suffering and finding a solid foundation for new direction in their lives. It's also ideal for therapists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, physicians and other health care professionals interested in enriching their practice and gleaning new insights about disease and human behavior.
