Why Hakomi?
-
It can help you tap into your strengths and resources. Some of which you might not even be aware of.
-
It can help you respond to challenges and difficult situations with more options. ​
-
It can help shift painful memories and experiences so you can feel more positively connected to life and other people.
​
The word 'Hakomi' comes from the Hopi Native American tribe. In the Hopi language it means 'Where do I stand in relation to the many realms?' In other words, it's being curious about, and exploring how, one relates to oneself, to others and the wider world.
​
Hakomi is a holistic approach, where body, mind, emotions are all acknowledged. We pay close attention to your physicality - your non-verbal communication - as well as what you are saying and feeling. Using mindfulness, you will be gently guided to notice what is happening, moment by moment, physically, emotionally and mentally.
​
From this place of awareness, we help you to uncover unconscious beliefs and adaptations, often formed in early life. These 'core beliefs' often shape how you relate to others and how you experience things. They may be outdated and self-limiting. Through making them conscious there is a possibility of choosing to relate and experience in new, and more fulfilling, ways.​​​
