Heartbeat Nurturing Therapy

with Amara Karuna
INNER CHILD WORK

This therapy addresses and heals the pain that many of us experienced as infants and in our birth process; especially the lack of enough skin to skin contact and breast feeding from our mothers after birth.

A version of inner child therapy, this technique works with accessing the infant self and memories still stored in our deep subconscious and cellular memory.  By using hypnotic induction, nurturing touch, invoking the Sacred, hearing another person's heartbeat and loving words, we open a direct channel back to that time and those experiences around birth.  

It is designed to be used with friends, children and lovers, and is simple enough that most people easily can offer it to their loved ones.

Returning to the infant state, being cradled in loving arms, letting go and trusting…
(Do you get enough of that?)
 
Come join us for a powerful and healing event!
  • Create deeper bonding in relationships
  • Learn to transform needy childlike feelings
  • Trust others more deeply
  • Love and accept yourself more
  • Hold space for nurturing others

Open to couples and singles.

Come with a friend or beloved, or be willing to make new friendships.

The Power of Reparenting

Our birth is the primal imprint, the initiation moment on which we base our beliefs about life. Unsatisfied needs for oral stimulation and closeness can lead to overeating, smoking, relationship problems and other addictions later in life.In this form of therapy we can offer new imprints of love and nurturing directly back to those younger parts of ourselves.
*
This frees us to create more mature and satisfying intimate contacts with others.Within a spiritual and intentional context, we act as healing channels to help release this pain and create new healthy imprints in the psyche.
It is a way of loving yourself and others deeply; reaching into areas of the most basic infantile needs and giving nurturing. It explores the need for healing and the negative effects of common western birth procedures. For those who are new to therapy or counseling, the basics of how to do emotional release work, peer counseling, inner child work and role-playing are explored.
*
Since the practice is so simple, anyone can do it, and people can easily exchange sessions with each other as a conscious form of nurturing and sharing. The basic form can be used between friends, parents and children, clients and therapists, or to comfort someone who is ill or injured.

What people say:

Getting Real:

 "Taking the Heartbeat Nurturing Therapy class was a profound experience in and of itself. It caused such a degree of de-armoring, of "getting real," that it took my whole life and forced the moment to its crisis, so to speak. It laid bare whatever was not working authentically and also what was authentically true about me and my life. In less than 24 hours my vision, being so cleared, produced the action steps that provide the context for my destiny, if you will.  

All the pieces fell into place perfectly and my understanding, too. It was so fast and amazing as to feel miraculous. I feel blessed by your presence and your class."

Magically Healing Practice

"Absolutely fantastic book as a guide for a Magically healing practice!

Amara is one of my absolute most favorite teachers.
I went to her Heartbeat Nurturing Therapy class/workshop and I bought the book and the CD there.
I don't thing there is even one adult or child that does not crave non-sexual loving/caring/nurturing touch.

And it does not even need to be a "Therapy" session. 

It also makes for a most wonderful paired meditation. And as a man, I find the ability to hold such a safe, loving, nurturing, sacred space for another to be a privilege that many are men are denied the opportunity to have, or shamed into not doing so.  Every time I held a person with loving intentions in my arms and put his/her head on my heart magic happened. 

I can't really explain in with words.
You have got to try it for yourself!"
