Home is in the body

When we are present, the body feels safe to move emotions and do its magic. This is the moment to agree to feel, to be touched, to find again the voice within.

Everything you need is already within you

What is the Grinberg Method

Body-based personal sessions, teaching you through direct experience, how to stop what stands between you and your own strength, presence and vitality. In stress, emotional pain and difficulty — your presence in the body is the key to breaking free.

The experience is difficult to describe, because it’s about experiencing yourself as a body, in a deep way. For those curious and bold enough to look inward, this experience can be life changing.

Emotional issues

Emotions are meant to move the body. When you are moved the stagnation ends and suffering is not needed. Emotions live in the body, they are your own energy meant for you to use.

Chronic physical issues

Chronic problems lean on emotional habits — find the connection and learn to stop it. Agreeing to feel your pain and fear brings a change in the body and supports it’s natural ways to heal itself.

Changing behavior patterns

The body shows us how you create the same outcomes each time with predictable behavioral patterns. Reaching the same results and not living up to your potential, means that you have learned a safe way of survival which now holds you back.

What happens in the sessions?

An assessment through the feet gives clarity before we begin to work. We meet on eye level, feeling together what’s in the body, without judgement. We’ll work with the body and we’ll talk. We might become emotional and probably laugh too. Using touch and breath I will show you how to access what’s already available within you. You might feel energy physically moving through the body, or learn how to stop preventing it. At the end of each session you will be given a few minutes of rest for the body to integrate.

After the session I advise to take some time for yourself and enjoy the stillness in the body. Sessions last 60-90 minutes.

How does it work?

Process

It begins with an intake that includes feet-reading and assessment of your overall situation. This allows us to pinpoint the real underlying cause for the issue that brings you to me. We recognize it when it deeply touches you, when you have excitement and clarity.

Sessions are based on a strategy to bring you to your aim. They include specific techniques of touch to communicate with the body, together with guided breathing and awareness. You can expect to feel held and supported which experiencning yourself in a new way. The effect on the body is real, but sessions are designed as a teaching - that you can work with in between sessions.

The process ends when you have reached you clear aim.

Allowing the body to work

Tingling, heat, flows, shaking or other sensations: body work is experienced in many ways. Sometimes a cry or a laughter might move you, or an emotional moment would come and go. All body work is blessed, allowed, and unexpected.

The sessions are designed to allow natural flows to move through the body. Those are flows of your energy that you will learn to physically feel. The sessions follow the lead of the body, allowing it to work as it wishes. The body communicates very clearly if we listen.

At the end of each session you will have some time to remain lying down and relax the body — allowing the integration of the experience.

Feet Assessment

This assessment opens our session, and is an emotional experience in itself.

The soles of your feet show how you walk through life — the mood, the posture, the expedited and the blocked flows, your repeated patterns (emotional and physical) and any issues that result from those. It gives me an objective point of view where judgement and beliefs don’t intervene. That insight allows us to work with precision and focus. Feet might also tell us about an event at a specific age that has left an imprint on you, especially with traumas but not only. Theat’s when a new understanding connects your past with who you are today, explaining some outcomes and situations in your life and body.

Elements

When describing your true potential we look at the division and the relationship between the 4 elements that make you uniquely you, as a body. They show up on the feet both in their potential and in their current situation which obstructs your potential.

Air‍ ‍is the realm of the mind, thoughs, imagination, creativity and supreme connection. It is also the physical head and the skin. Fire‍ ‍is the realm of doing, loving and connection in different aspects. Muscles and being active are involved. Wateris where emotions originate and how we feel an atmosphere and create moods. Through water we are afraid and in Water we passively digest experiences or food. Earth‍ is our ground, confidence, and also our health and bodily needs. This is the element of self healing of the body. Earth means passivity and will errupt with enormous powers when survival is needed.

Elements relate and mix with eachother in different ways. It’s that unique balance, formed by repetition throughout your life, which creates the predictable-you and those situations that seem to repeat.

when elements can move you in an unpredicted way — unexpected and undictated, the new you is showing up, up to your true potential.

The Language Of Touch used in the sessions, is a communication with those elements, to which they respond and interact in a way that you can feel.

What people say

  • " I was able to stay in my body in a way that I usually couldn't. This presence teached me that my body could hold anything and so could I. I was also able to learn other things about myself that I didn't know. The sessions represented a safe place in times of storm in my life and the memories of them and Itai will surely continue present in my heart for a long time "

  • " An amazing experience, complementary method to 'traditional' therapy and working with the subconscious. The connection and deep work with the body has revealed patterns that I had no idea manifested in such ways, and were not possible to track in other methods I tested before. So I could recommend the sessions and especially with Itai "
