Have you ever noticed how your intellect often plays an inconsequential role in determining the quality of your emotional life? Like when you try to tell yourself you "shouldn't" be feeling rejected and angry, or when you "swear" that you are going to stop smoking or go on a diet. Well indeed, as your everyday experience often shows, the domain of intellect and the domain of emotion reside on two separate islands. No matter how much your rational mind thinks you "should" do something, you will not accomplish your goal without the consent of your limbic brain and your somatic intelligence. Such is the life of human beings. We have intellect AND emotions, but we often struggle to integrate the two.

• Make more "sense" of your emotions by bridging the body over to the thinking mind
• Release and dissolve your fears by rekindling your tenderness
• Bring a greater sense of respect and empowerment into your life
• Feel greater confidence in entering into loving, supportive relationships
• Come to recognize and identify with, The Wisdom of Love
• Profoundly change the way you perceive and appreciate: Your self—The people you are in relationship with—The life challenges you face.

As an individual wanting more from your life or a trained professional wanting to add to your current professional skills learn how to:

• Release excess emotional energy trapped in the body as fear and longing
• Awaken to and acknowledge your dignity, dreams, and desires
• Live your life and share your skills, with a greater sense of kindness and vitality
• Comprehend the language of emotion
• Work wisely with core issues such as deteriorating health, destructive habit patterns, and strained personal relationships
