What Actions are most excellent?

To gladden the heart of a human being.
To feed the hungry.
To help the afflicted.
To lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful.
To remove the wrongs of the injured.
That person is the most beloved of God
who does the most good to God’s creatures.

For the past three years I have been studying Somatic Experiencing, the trauma healing work developed by Dr. Peter Levine.  We are currently in the final Advanced module of that training, focusing on touch.  After all of the lectures, the practice sessions, the questions, the confusion, the flashes of insight, this poem is what the training cooks down to.  Helping others feel better.  Simple as that.  We have a lot of tools and perhaps the most important of those is our focused intention, our desire to create a space where balance and coherence can emerge.

I will be working with clients using Somatic Experiencing in combination with the other tools of Somatic Movement Therapy, including the possibility of working with horses in a therapeutic context.
