Bug report: Meditation (all types) is terrifying. I try to accept the slight anxiety... fear... mind-devouring terror, but twitching, jumping up and running away all interfere with practice. I do not become aware of them before they happen. Accepting them after the fact, or going back to my sitting position and starting again, have the same effect.
The sort of sounds like the kind of thing Rosen-method bodywork is really good at addressing.
Not gonna blow $80 on that. Do you have a watered-down version I can do myself or with an untrained volunteer? Alternately, anyone near Stockholm who is learning it and would charge less in exchange for the practice?
Needs a trained bodyworker.
Wow, $80 sure is a lot. Personally it's too rich for my blood.
Why do you think it's worth that much to be trained in Rosen-method bodywork? (As opposed to trying to learn it on your own or with a volunteer.)
$80 is for a massage by a Rosen-certified therapist. A two-day intro course to the Rosen method is $370 or so. The prices are so high because it's a recent method, so they can copyright everything and lock down on people who try to learn or teach it outside Rosen method schools.
