Overview
The Morales Method® believes that movement therapy is key, as it continues the conversation we have with our clients that goes beyond tissue work/manual therapy. Our clients need to learn how to improve their sense of self-support outside of the session in order to let go of their restrictions, unnecessary tensions, and possible unconscious resistances. We don’t live horizontally on a table; we are upright, moving through the world, and interacting with gravity. This program is applicable to a much wider range of practitioners and individuals than bodyworkers alone. For example, an acting coach could utilize this work to help their students consider how they use their breath when on stage. A therapist could utilize Move In Mind™ to help their clients understand and work with their holding patterns during stress. Taking this course will illuminate connections between the body, thoughts, language, emotions, and the perceived environment, helping us to understand how movement can also affect our behavior! The MMMIM Certification Program enables students to educate their clients on how to engage in mindful movement/movement awareness according to the principles of Structural Integration. The program is focused on body-mind connections, on the principles of neuroplasticity, and psychophysiology applied to movement, as well as the impact of language and communication on the human physiology. Morales Method® Move In Mind™ consists of a series of exercises and movement explorations paired with mental imagery that are accessible to everybody. The key to the Morales Method® Move In Mind™ approach is the mental imagery in combination with this movement in gravity. *NOTE: This course is approved by NCBTMB for 11.0 CEUs. Once the course has been completed and a brief quiz is taken, your certificate of completion will be automatically emailed to you.
