Exploring Fear and Anxiety

2020/12/022012/11/05 by Wayne Allen

Exploring Fear and Anxiety — running away from our fear and anxiety, or hoping it will disappear of its own accord, is silly. Learning to see, recognize and deal with what arises is the mark of wisdom. Bodywork can help!

5 Things About Vulnerability

2015/06/102010/03/01 by Wayne Allen

However, this fear of vulnerability is ingrained at a deep level, to our detriment, once we become adults. (This is one reason most adults aren’t!)

2015/06/082009/04/20 by Wayne Allen

True compassion happens infrequently in our world, because of the downward pull toward security and safety — things valued by our tribes and cultures.
