Stretch Therapy Workshops outside Australia

We are in discussion with our many Senior Teachers around the world, and when any international workshops are organised, newsletter subscribers will be the first to know.

Kit was recently asked to present at a men’s only retreat run by our good friend Tom Emerson, of Praksis  Canberra. Below, find an article Kit wrote a number of years ago (updated today), and a guided relaxation – Let Anger Go – recorded at the recent retreat.

Kit Laughlin, 23 June 2013

A friend and I have been talking about default emotions, but what I will talk about today applies equally to any recurring thought form or emotion (some refer to this as self-talk); most generally, I am talking about what emerges when you are tired or your buttons are pushed. It might be self pity; a tendency to reflexively blame others; any one of hundreds of behaviours, internal feelings, or recurring self-talk—but notice that for each of us, there’s a ‘signature’ response, and one that you have experienced 10,000 times.

Anger is my default.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank you [Olivia] and Kit for your videos and newsletter. Your explanations that accompany the stretches make the process understandable and enjoyable.

All the best.
