Here are some of the major disciplines or modalities used in the healing work of The Awareness Option:
 

Polarity Therapy

Polarity Therapy is a holistic health care system that balances life energy in the body. Based on energetic principles rooted in Ayurveda, Polarity Therapy includes bodywork, cleansing and health building diets, simple exercises, and focused conversation that supports change in attitude and emotional patterns. Polarity therapy may stand alone or be incorporated with other healing modalities. With presence and intention, the practitioner creates and facilitates an environment where dis-ease in the body, mind and soul can re-harmonize.

Reiki Energy Work

Reiki is a form of energy work in which healing energy is channeled through the hands of a practitioner into the client's body to restore a normal energy balance and health. Reiki is a universal science of energy characterized by principals of endurance and stability that are sustaining and expansive in nature. Though the ancient origins of Reiki are still unknown, references can be found in the Sanskrit Sutras describing the types of healing that the Buddha performed indicating that Reiki was practiced at least 2500 years ago. Mikao Usui rediscovered Reiki in the 1890’s through study, meditation, and pilgrimage.

Integrated Awareness®

Lansing B. Gresham, founder of Integrated Awareness, says:

“Integrated Awareness describes an inherently possible but usually inhibited state of consciousness in which all the aspects of the person are self-aware and actively cooperate. It refers to a quality of living in which the mind does not have precedence over the body, in which spirit is as tangible as skeleton, where emotions are recognized as the source of creativity and in which the energetic fields of the human body and the soul are as immediate and as tactile as the skin.”

Integrated Awareness is offered in two formats: Floorwork and hands-on individual instruction. In floorwork—usually conducted in a workshop or class setting where participants work individually, in pairs, or even groups using movement, touch, and the expanded perception of the bodies’ physical structure to explore habits and behaviors, beliefs and judgments, and feelings and sensations. In hands-on sessions, instruction through touch—in which one or more facilitators work with a guest who personally sets an agenda for change—the facilitator(s) use the ability to model, reflect, and transmit specific states and perceptions that enable the guest to identify and utilize the awareness needed for healing.
