Charlie Badenhop-Seishindo

Whenever I visit Japan I have the privilege of visiting with my good friend Charlie Badenhop. Charlie has a background in NLP, Hypnosis and years of studying and being an instructor of Aikido. Charlie is one of the most skilled change work practitioners I know. His work, Seishindo is a wonderful combination and expansion of these various modalities. What I've observed in seeing Charlie work with individuals and working with me is that he interacts with the person both verbally with great skill and by responding to and working with the person's physical presence. One thing that I've taken from my experience of Charlie's work is the belief that centering the body and the thinking mind has a tremendous capacity to heal the overall system and bring new solutions and insights to whatever challenges a person is facing.

I highly recommend visiting Charlie's site http://seishindo.org/ which is also in my link list. The site has pages of wonderful material and many practices that you can try out for yourself. Charlie also has a great newsletter where he shares insights and exercises on a regular basis.

Stephen Gilligan

This is a video of Stephen Gilligan being interviewed from YouTube. Steve's work is incredibly rich. I highly recommend going to a training with him if you have the opportunity. Although this video is a bit of a promotion, it's a treat to get to see him. Steve has developed a way of working with people that moves well beyond his background in NLP and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy.

Feldenkrais Video

This is a video that provides some of the background information on the Feldenkrais Method. It's quite good and you get to see some of Moshe's first students and footage of Moshe teaching. I highly recommend it especially if you're unfamiliar with this excellent work.
