Embodied Healing: Integrating Movement and Self

On today's episode, Marilyn and I chat about AM-IFS. Marilyn has held workshops for several years at the IFS annual conference and in her hometown of Sudbury, Massachusetts.

AM-IFS is based on the work of Janet Adler and Mary Stark Whitehouse which Marilyn has integrated with IFS. It is like a moving meditation where you connect with parts and feel witnessed by another.

One goal of AM is to help people "extend their aliveness by exploring their feelings and their experience of feeling themselves moving."- Mary Stark Whitehouse

I had the privilege of being with Marilyn a few times- It is a powerful experience!

I think the theme of this episode is WITNESSING- the power of being with your own inner parts as you move and having a safe, connected witness with you.
