Anna Mayer, MA, LPC, R-DMT
More About Anna
-
Place a hand on my heart, and a hand on my belly – I (try to) let my mind quiet, and sense what arises when I tune into my body's wisdom in this way
-
Turn on some of my favorite music, and move my body in whatever way feels true to me in the moment (whether it's silly or serious, bold or quiet, fluid or awkward)
-
Take a moment, before eating, to listen for what kind of food my body is asking for (it might not be what I think I want!)
-
Go to the studio and dance, listening to my body's impulses each step of the way.
-
When a strong emotion/sensation shows up, turn my attention toward it (even when I so want to avoid the feeling), and care for it with the same kindness I would offer a dear friend (especially when it feels hard to extend that kind of compassion to myself!)
My 5 Favorite Ways to Listen to My Body's Wisdom
(in no particular order)
On a personal level...
In addition to practicing as a therapist, I have been dancing seriously for over 20 years. For the last decade, I have performed as a professional dancer in the Front Range community. Through my own movement practice, outside of performance, I move ever-closer to the deep wisdom of my own body.
Eating good food is one of my biggest hobbies, and I have a soft spot for YA fantasy fiction and generally anything nerdy. I also love spending time outside, connecting with nature. I live with my wife and our sweet (& weird) cat.
