ATTUNED PARENTING: MODEL TO YOUR CHILD WHOLENESS
Exploring the developmental & clinical understanding of how as a society we can heal and enhance social, physiological, & emotional attachment and self regulation. (A MONTHLY EVENT)
Our vision is to build alliances with change makers that share our mission for a society where parents and educators are invested toward nurturing children, adults, and communities to understand their natural wholeness. Our purpose is to cultivate, reclaim, resitute and restore inherent wholeness, dignity, and value, for each and every one. To nurture innate creativity and sustainable productivity for societal benefits.
In our formative years we are incubators of learning. When a developing infant and child are not bathed in safety, unconditional love, belonging, and acceptance, until they are able to hold these qualities for themselves, they form impressions within their psyche that they are incomplete in their simple beingness. A deep habituated distortion and disassociation at the heart of existence becomes a solidified groove within the psyche. To be who they are is just not enough.
This is a monthly presentation to inform a necessary paradigm shift, to co-create a conscious, succinct, and clear understanding as to what constitutes attuned, open, and responsive parenting. We will explore the developmental & clinical understanding behind social, physiological, & emotional attachment and self regulation.
As a society, we need to prioritize and address the underlying social and environmental practices and policies that give rise to our toxic culture, a culture where currently education and productivity is designed mostly for profit and not for individual and collective ‘long term’ benefit.

DISCOVERING YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTUNED ACCESS TO SELF HEALING
'The point process' is a direct and effective way to access the core wounds that feed and sustain a fixated self in depression and addiction (anxiety, sadness, emptiness, longing, stuckness and disorientation.)
'The point process' is a progressive un-coiling of the misconceptions that inform the body / mind connections that feed our core wounds (sensory impressions).
'The point process' is a simple and un-adored seeing of the impressioned sensations that become chronic and diagnosed as depression, anxiety, addiction (PTSD , ADHD, ADD, GAD, OCD)
This presentation is a required intro into a 2 day workshop at a local conference center in Febuary 22 & 23, 2014. (Only 100 tickets will be avaialable for this workshop)
PRESENTERS
Natasha English is a Nondual / Transpersonal Therapist with a private practice in West Vancouver, BC. Since 2007 she has taken a psychosomatic approach to healing and personal development. In her practice she employs a pragmatic process of psychosynthesis and entheogenic medicine. This combination assists her clients to attune and harmonize to their own natural rest, and to discover an inner template of wholeness and self acceptance, free of mind maps, metaphysics, and speculation.
She views “neurosis” as a positive constructive feedback from the whole psychosomatic organism, rather than as pathology. “Neurosis” is a “golden nugget”, an invitation, to become responsive to developmental stress and to attune to natural rest, release and realignment, on the path to integration and maturation.
Her method 'The Point Process’ (TPP) is a clear and direct access to uncoil your misconceptions and to recognize the obvious, the wholeness you are, that has been forgotten. All our pain and suffering results from a difference between “what we experience” and “what we want. Like all psychotherapies, nondual therapies provide the space to deconstruct and release conflict and confusion.
The ‘Point Process’ (TPP) evolved as a method to release the many false impressions that drives habituated thoughts and emotions, by attuning to the natural rest available at all times. This natural rest often remains unrecognized because of the unseen monkey mind. 'TPP' simply peels back the veil of contractions in the body & mind that block the access to your immediate wholeness.
'TPP' was simplified over years of spiritual practice and countless sessions with clients. It became a direct and unadorned seeing of the physical, emotional, and mental machinery and content, that drives the habituated urge and impulse to seek, fix and do, to improve upon an idea of self, that is 'thought and felt' as broken.

ABOUT THE POINT PROCESS
‘Awareness’ assumes and identifies with the body and its content (when dropping into the physical body / mind vehicle). Its’ immediate attention is directed outward for survival, belonging and acceptance. In the process ‘awareness’ assumes a partial and disconnected view of reality and forgets itself!
The many impressions from childhood form our sense of ‘fixed identity’ and is a core survival strategy, where awareness ‘disassociate’ itself from wholeness as it contracts to protect itself from childhood impressions / teen trauma, shame or abuse. As adults, these contractions that form ‘this fixed identity of self’ (ego-id) no longer serves us, nonetheless we often don’t recognize that this fixed sense of self is a mask.
The ‘Point Process’ simply attunes the body and mind to be open and receptive to immediate feedback and natural coherence, so to recognize the opportunity to rest; and to disassemble, surrender and release the false impressions that are stored as contracted and stagnant energy creating ego-id ‘fixed identity.’
All searching, seeking, and fixing are rooted in the intimate rejection of what is intimately available to all of us. Wholeness is your nature, and when awareness is able to attune to and recognize its’ essence; NATURAL REST 'as you are,’ puts an end to disconnection, confusion, and disorientation.
When the difference is dissolved through resting effortless in the ground of being we experience peace and freedom. This integrated approach corrects any personal beliefs that might lead people to disconnect from their physical, embodied existence.
When we discover the possibility of resting in and experiencing ourselves as a centreless field of awareness, we are no longer the victim of our preferences. Through a process of deconstruction the thinking and feeling mechanism is revealed and understood. When the space between thinking and feeling is clearly seen awareness is free to release subtle contractions stored in the body mind connection.
When we are able to release and rest in awareness, we discover the present moment always takes care of itself, and that reality is our opportunity to attune into what and who we are, but have forgotten. You are already a masterpiece, you can not be improved!
