Lynn Marie Lumiere, MFT ~ The Healing Power of Embodied Presence
We all have within us the ability to heal ourselves. The power to heal lies within the embodied presence of our own Being. That, and only that, can transform and free our fixed and distorted identity that causes our mental and physical health issues. The false identity cannot change itself. True healing comes from something beyond that, but not separate. It is in the meeting of our infinite being and our finite humanness that the alchemy of true healing takes place.
This healing can include changing our lifestyle, our relationships, our diet, taking medicines, therapy, etc. What is important is we are moved from the deepest wisdom of our Being, not from the separate identity trying to fix it. We rely on the presence of Being to inform our body mind and to meet our mental, emotional and physical pain without resistance. This is how we embody the Presence and heal our humanness.
This webinar will offer a guided meditation and an opportunity to have a direct experience with embodied Presence, as well as receive therapeutic support if needed with the issues you are struggling with.
Lynn Marie Lumiere, MFT is a seasoned psychotherapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and author. Her work is a rare blend of deep spiritual wisdom and decades of skilled therapeutic work with a focus on healing psychological trauma/wounding and embodied awakening. She brings a comprehensive depth of experience hard-won through deeply healing her own trauma and awakening to her true nature. This allows her to be a trustworthy and competent guide for both healing and freedom on all levels. Lynn Marie has a natural empathy and compassion for the human struggles of others that is born of her own life process. She is also the author of Awakened Relating: A Guide to Embodying Undivided Love in Intimate Relationships.
