Conversations with individuals who live and lead with their heart

Heart Beat- internet radio with a pulse- Wednesdays at 4pm ET on BlogTalkRadio

Core Energetics on Heart Beat Radio. Julie Cusmariu in conversation with Madonna Maher

” We live in our bodies. Our bodies carry the experiences, feelings, beliefs and images of all that has ever happened to us. It is through our bodies that we come to a deep knowing of what is standing in the way of our full aliveness, as well as how to transform those places. ” Madonna Maher, Core Energetics Practitioner, madonna_maher@ hotmail.com

Core Energetic Therapy is a rich and profound body centered psychotherapy that takes us into our innermost self, to unlock stored emotion so that we can free up our life force and live more fully. I stumbled upon Core Energetic Therapy several years ago and have benefited so tremendously from my experience with it.  This work has supported me in opening up more fully to who I am and has led me to not only understand more about myself but also to understand others and what it means to live the human experience.  As Madonna Maher says, Core Energetic Therapy  is “richly rewarding and practical” and it is a life affirming sacred journey in which we heal those wounded places within”.

Madonna has incredible compassion as a therapist and in response to me highlighting this in our conversation she explained that ” we learn compassion through feeling our own suffering. Once we feel the hurt we have endured, it becomes very difficult to hurt others… and until we can feel the depths of our own pain and suffering we continue to inflict it on others… and that is the whole crux of this work for me”.

Core Energetic Therapy uses tools such as deep breathing, expressive movement, grounding techniques and body awareness to free “blocked” energy in your body and release your “life force”.

Listen below as Madonna Maher, Nurse, Massage Therapist and Core Energetics Practitioner, tells us about Core Energetics and shares her experiences as a therapist with us. Recorded live on April 1, 2009 on BlogTalkRadio.
