-
(SMT) For those who suffer from any emotion caused by pathological or non-pathological pain. Example: If you are suffering because you had a fall, accident, or even surgery. And if it brings you emotions like anger, fear, shame, or sadness, this session is for you.
-
(SMT) To improve a specific problem. It could be an injury or a problem resulting from a situation, environment, etc. For example, the post-pandemic makes people feel very tired, anxious, sad, and lose focus. Some are losing awareness of their surroundings. Especially in the workplace, at home, on the street, and in everyday life. Therefore, many are increasingly harming themselves and others.
-
(SMT) For people at work who are producing less and feeling more stressed. Some are getting more violent in their responses.
As much as we can blame the spiritual side, there are some things that happen to the body (toxins, etc…) and the brain itself that change our responses. Movement produces the neurotransmitters endorphins and dopamine that bring contentment and energy.
