Some time ago, I read an article about a new job: the professional cuddler. This professional figure offers a very peculiar service: for a predefined time, they will give a non sexual touch to their clients. They will “just” cuddle!
This service is now spreading in the USA. The article* also mentioned some research proving that cuddling decreases stress and increases the sensation of well being, softness and affection.
My new year started in a very positive way: again, I past my supervision for the 4th time. Every year the level of each practitioner is tested towards the standards of the International Association Grinberg Method Practitioners.
I’m also very happy, because this experience taught me about my reaction to stress.[Weiterlesen]
Do you get stressed with all the Christmas gifts? Are you torn between the obligation to buy and the pleasure of giving? Is December a month of activity for you, going from one event to the next?
Taking the time to be in your body could allow you to enjoy your Christmas more.
Creativity is the ability to mould a certain material into something new and original. We normally associate creativity with art or an art performance and we think that creativity doesn’t belong to us because we are not an artist or we are not living from our art. Because we look at creativity as something characterizing other people but not ourselves, we never think how creativity could appear in our lives and what creativity means for us.

From my experiences, I observe that the ability to create appears continuously in our lives. When one change happens, it brings something new into our lives.
But it isn’t always connected with what is most important to us. Some of the personal projects we would like to realise, struggle to appear in our daily life: for example, more time to paint, develop our photography abilities, to do our morning workout, to bring spice into our relationship.
Actually, it is a real challenge to listen carefully to our passion in order to “re-shape” the space in our lives and so to create something NEW.
What we need is SILENCE. Silence creates the space for our inner voice to be heard. With silence, we have the space for thinking, planning, feeling and finally acting in connection with something we would like to realise.
These concepts are not new to most of us, I’m aware of that. But I’m also aware of how difficult it is to step from knowing something with our intellect to taking action in order to realise and confront it with our reality. Most of us already know what we need to do. We procrastinate, make ourselves busy, forgetting… by never confronting what we wish for our reality, we do not know if it is a nice image coming from our head or something important to our heart.
I have already been working with this topic in individual sessions with the Grinberg Method and today I am very happy to announce that I will offer you a way to move forward in the realisation of your wishes: a new group course consisting of 4 meetings of 2 hours which aim is to clarify our wishes, train our ability to pay attention and move forward to realise our creativity.
We will focus on creating silence and quietness allowing us to think about our passions and support our intentions in order to take the necessary steps in the direction you want to advance in.
The meetings will focus on the process of realising a personal project and the group will support the personal project with its energy and without judgement.
By paying attention to our body, we will train our attention and mobilise our energy in order to… be creative and bring a change in our lives!

Some times, when I give the instruction « breathe » to my client, I receive the answer « of course I’m breathing, otherwise I would be dead ». This situation brings always both of us to laugh a lot, what is good for the breathing exercise !
Respiration is a basic function: we have to breathe in order to live. It’s an automatic function too: it means we don’t need to be attentive to that, breathing happen by it self (our vegetative system takes care of the automatic breathing).
