Dan Bienenfeld - Healing with Hellerwork (#016)
Manage episode 419712195 series 3527170
In this episode of Don't Step on the Bluebells, Amanda Parker interviews Dan Bienenfeld, a practitioner and teacher of Hellerwork structural integration. Dan explains that Hellerwork is a unique bodywork modality that works with the whole body to realign it with gravity, restoring space, function and ease of movement. While hands-on work from a trained practitioner is ideal, Dan also shares a powerful fascia activation self-care technique that anyone can use to awaken the body and release held patterns of physical and emotional pain.
Dan's own journey with Hellerwork began as a teenager, when he witnessed the dramatic changes in a friend who went through the process. He knew clearly then that this was his path, and ended up being one of the first students of Joseph Heller, the creator of Hellerwork. His advice for someone starting to connect with their body is to begin scanning and noticing sensations throughout the day, while seeking support from experienced practitioners.
The conversation touches on the nature of healing, which Dan distinguishes from fixing. True healing, he suggests, comes from having the courage to feel and listen to the messages of the body, bringing awareness, acknowledgment and space to areas of discomfort and stuckness. This is deep, ongoing work, but it is what allows us to experience the richness of life fully embodied. Dan's warm, down-to-earth wisdom invites listeners to begin that journey back to wholeness.
