CSC – Class 1 Syllabus

Transforming the Existence Wound

Class One of the PAUSE Characterological Specialty

Fear and doubt can grip our bodies and our minds during the earliest moments of life.  This disturbance can generate unacknowledged anxiety that can impede our ability to rest comfortably in our bodies and accomplish our goals.  This unacknowledged anxiety can also creator a magnetic field which can attract unwanted experiences.   Class One of this Series will focus on healing these pre-verbal wounds.
