Have you ever found yourself waking frequently between 1 and 3 am during a period of heightened stress in your life? Or have you noticed that illness quickly follows a long period of grief or worry? Perhaps you've experienced a string of seemingly endless emotions during meditation, like you’re flipping through TV channels, from happy to sad, worry to shame, peacefulness to anger?
In this 90 min minute workshop, we will explore:
· What is the role of emotions in the human experience?
· How are emotions and disease interrelated according to Chinese Medicine?
· What acupressure points help with strong emotions?
· How can we build the inner capacity to be with a wider range of emotions?
You will leave with a foundational understanding of the link between our emotions and physical bodies from a Chinese medical perspective. There will be a hands-on exploration of acupressure points to use with different emotions. We will finish with a guided meditation to increase our capacity to be with a wider range of emotions and arrive fully in our lives.
BIO:
Amisha Robin Banyasz (She/Her)
Amisha’s deep wish to heal physically and grow spiritually led her first to Chinese Medicine and then to Shambhavananda Yoga®️. After finding physical healing with an acupuncturist, Amisha began a decade of personal meditation practice and training in yoga and meditation, followed by five years of formal training in Chinese Medicine. Along the way, she discovered that the traditions of yoga and Chinese medical theory go hand in hand. With her patients, Amisha finds the greatest healing happens when body and spirit are treated together. She is committed to providing space for patients to realign imbalances in the body while offering mindfulness practices and lifestyle changes to help them live life to their fullest potential in presence and love.
Amisha holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (2001) and a Master’s Degree in Education (2002), both from the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training from the Shambhavananda School of Yoga (2017) as well as the 30-hour Meditation Teacher Training (2020). More recently, Amisha finished a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture with a Specialization in Chinese Herbal Medicine (2022) from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, Texas.
