Quantum physics is based on
immeasurable mathematical patterns such as the quantum wave function. There
are various ways of understanding this math; one explanation is that the math is
just a pattern, which works in reality. Another explanation is that the math
describes tendencies toward reality. A third explanation is that the math describes
coexisting worlds. Psychology adds another possibility: the math of physics is an
unconscious projection of what we experience all the time; the tendency to
marginalize our deepest dimensions. This marginalization lies imbedded in the
math of physics, and is behind what we normally call reality. The same process of
marginalization may also be an aspect of how body symptoms arise. Pondering basic
connecting principles between psychology and the sciences leads to practical ways
of working with body problems. Process-oriented symptom work combines the
thinking of psychology and physics through direct somatic experience available to
everyone.

In this workshop on body symptoms, Amy and Arny Mindell will demonstrate and give participants a chance to work deeply upon a chronic body symptom. By learning how to describe the sensory grounded nature of such symptoms, they introduce process-oriented ways to address the medical reality of symptoms, and the dreams and essence or quantum background to the symptom. This is an experiential workshop; participants should be prepared for inner experience and gentle movement work.
Amy Mindell, Ph.D., is in private therapeutic practice in Portland, Oregon and teaches in over thirty countries. She helped developed process-oriented psychology in the areas of ethics, coma, and dance and music. She holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in psychology and is a diplomate of the Process Oriented Psychology Center of Zurich. She wrote Metaskills: The Spiritual Art of Therapy, Riding the Horse Backwards with Arny, Coma, a Healing Journey, and An Alternative to Therapy as well as many papers in professional journals. Her studies of the feeling skills in therapy, or metaskills, are at the core of much of her work. She is presently doing research on creativity and making puppets.
Arny Mindell, Ph.D., is also in private practice in Portland, Oregon, and teaches with Amy in many places. He is known for his development of the dreambody and process work (process-oriented psychology). He is the author of 19 books in 20 languages, including Dreambody, The Shaman’s Body, Quantum Mind, and The Deep Democracy of Open Forums. Arny has an M.S. from M.I.T., was a Jungian training Analyst, and has a Ph.D. in psychology. He is also known in the area of conflict resolution for his Sitting in the Fire and for his integration of psychology and physics, work on dreams, bodywork, relationship, and for interventions in near-death situations.
