BALL INVERSION THERAPY

Ball Inversion Therapy is a new way of using large gymnastic balls in a therapeutic way.

Inversion is effective and rapid in producing lasting transformation on many levels. Some of the benefits are:• Reduced blood pressure• Inducing alpha wave brain activity• Balancing the hormone system• Increasing cell oxygenation• Balancing the nervous system

This results in increased:• Calmness, Cheerfulness, Energy.• Reduced pain and discomfort.• Permanent disappearance of symptoms in many cases.

This new technique of Ball Inversion Therapy ( BIT ) is not to be confused with many types of physiotherapy or exercise ( Pilates etc. ) that are practiced with gymnastic balls. Although BIT can look like normal stretching, the emphasis is on three other conditions. Firstly, in creating a calm, safe, relaxing and comfortable position for the client. Secondly in maintaining a zero balance point which aids the brain in switching from Beta to Alpha wave activity. Thirdly, to allow the client to enjoy the many benefits of inversion with the head below the heart.The therapy allows for gentle massage and stretching as well as instruction on breathing and emotional and physical release. BIT is particularly suitable for those with difficulties with communication, learning and movement as well as stress and nervous conditions. It is also appropriate in cases of joint pain, headache, migraines, stomach disorders, hormone imbalance, back and neck pain.Despite the simplicity of the technique, and also because of this, the unseen, energetic aspect of the technique, which is the real essence, becomes recognizable right from the start. The combination of focussed attention on balance, conscious breathing and loving intention, raises awareness both for the client and the therapist.Despite its apparent simplicity BIT sessions should only be given by certified practitioners.See a short film of BIT Training sessions...http://www.inversiontherapy.net/IT/BIT_Training.html

Matrix Training. A Process of Empowerment.

Level I. Initiation into Adulthood.Level I is designed to assist individuals to recognize their personal story of limiting programs or patterns and then to liberate themselves. This could be described as the end of therapy.

Level II. Tantra Yoga Practices. These ancient practices offer methods involving mental focus, visualization, breathing and movement that give control over inner ( mind/emotion, body, health ) and outer energies such as protection, manifestation and healing others.

Initiation into AdulthoodLiberation from the tyranny of early and dysfunctional psychological patterns into:Freedom, Power, Responsibility, Love and Wisdom.

ʻMy understanding about the nature of human personality and psychology is that all of us have received, at birth, all the gifts enabling us to create our lives as we wish and to fulfill our full potential. However we often can identify certain, repeating patterns of behavior that do not serve our growth or happiness. I have identified a set of up to seven programs ( occasionally more ) in the subconscious that compose the root cause of our entire dysfunctional psychology. Understanding that personality is only a set of beliefs, memories, values, attitudes, preferences and habits allows us to identify and then re-program the relatively few fundamental dysfunctional beliefs we discover with a more powerful and liberating set of fundamental beliefs.ʼ Paul Terrell.

Contracts & Weapons.Initiation into Adulthood is an enquiry into the primary values and beliefs ( The Contracts ) that we adopt about relationship to:maleness ( father, men, authority, employers, government, God etc.) andfemaleness ( mother, women, Nature, food, pleasure, money etc.)The enquiry then extends to acknowledging the strategies ( The Weapons ) we have adopted as our basic power and defense systems:• violence, open or furtive• rebellion, open or furtive• silence/withdrawal,• victim• controlThese dysfunctional patterns are the cause of limiting behaviour that cut us off from achieving our individual heartʼs desires and lifeʼs purpose. They are a drain on our energies.Knowing our basic deal or contract, one with the male and one with the female, as well as knowing our choice of weapons and bringing them from the subconscious up into the light of awareness is already a way of reducing their power over us. The next stage is by encapsulating these patterns in symbolic form we can speak directly to the unconscious and re-program our basic values and beliefs to a pattern that acts as a firm foundation for creating our lives as we dream them. This conversation is conducted through an ancient ritual, often done in some form today at puberty, to ensure that young people understand what being an adult truly means and that they do not carry over into adulthood childhood characteristics that are inappropriate. Many of us, as adults, realize we are still carrying these old patterns and may even mistakenly believe that these are part of who we are.

Initiation into Adulthood presents an insight into the human condition that presents such attractive characteristics of adulthood that it is a joy and relief to let go of the past. These characteristics are:

Freedom Power Responsibility Love Wisdom

This workshop is normally offered as a two day intensive but can be experienced as a three hour super intensive.

Matrix TrainingTantra Yoga Practices

The aim of Tantra Yoga is to expand awareness in all states of consciousness. To accomplish this we need to deprogram or reprogram our human biocomputer. Only when we are dissatisfied with our present programs will we feel the need to do this. Tantra Yoga is a holistic science of the mind and the human beingʼs place in creation. If we are ready for a new and wider point of view then Tantra Yoga has the methodology and tools for this work. We must be prepared to abandon laziness and love of pleasure in order to achieve peace, harmony and order. Through study, mental focus, visualization, breathing, body and mental exercises, cleansing and life style habits Tantra Yoga helps us to unfold our Divine Nature.

In the training with Paul Terrell methods are drawn from the schools of Zen, Shamanism, Tantra and Raja Yoga. The focus is on increasing experience and understanding of the subtle energies of the body/mind/emotion complex and the levels of consciousness beyond personality.

This is what is popularly called, ʻ Freeing the Mind ʻ and going ʻDown the Rabbit Hole ʻ.

The world presented by existential reality is radically different from the limited experience gained through viewing the world as the projections of conditioned mind.

Yoga offers the way out from this prison of the mind by using the right to choose in a radical way. This is by choosing to slow down and stop the choice making movement of the mind. A paradox that liberates the mind from its prison of duality into the eternal, non dualistic present moment.

Courses are usually weekend intensives but intensive tasters can be experienced in half day sessions.

Talks and Seminars are offered on:Matrix Training, Level I, Level II or bothThe Yoga Sutras of PatanjaliPranayama, the science of breathing

CREATING SUSTAINABLE ORGANISATION

These series of workshops and training modules seek to support organisations of any kind to improve their communication, efficiency and harmony.

Whether creating a new partnership, company, charity, action group or housing association a lot of time, effort and money can be saved by becoming aware of the successful strategies of similar organisations as well as avoiding the pitfalls of the ones that did not succeed.

Many times the reason for a failed enterprise is not the lack of funds or good ideas but failures to ensure that during the intensive process of establishing a new venture, small failures in communication build up and surface in unresolved conflicts, poor decision making and dysfunctional organisation and planning.

Laying the foundation of a new organisation can be done so that the vision and values of the organisation are built into the fabric such that they can adapt and grow with the company.

In the same way, existing organisations can take advantage of reviewing the vision, values and organisational tools to increase efficiency.

These are the vital elements at the foundation of any business or group.1. Vision, that is shared and kept up-to-date.2. Values, that are shared and cherished.3. Organisational form and Tools, that are simple to use and give results.

Paul offers seminars as well as on the job training, which ensures no business time lost to theoretical classroom activity.
