HeartMind Solutions™ is a training program of advanced skills and awareness work with classes, mentoring, and renewal retreats for practitioners of Oriental medicine.
As a practitioner you are well aware of the connection between physical illness and the emotions, but often do not have the skills to address and resolve the underlying issues of physical and emotional pain. Everyday you see people who feel stuck, indecisive, frustrated, anxious, and out of touch with themselves and their feelings. Some people are easy and inspiring to work with, and others seem contained and resistant. Maintaining rapport and unlocking hidden issues is often the key to healing difficult and chronic problems, stress and trauma.
There are simple and learnable methods that can help you and your clients enter the world of feelings, beliefs and taboos that result in patterns of chronic tension, postural stress and emotional and spiritual angst. Bringing these underlying issues to the light of awareness, initiates change. New patterns can be established and inner resources can be strengthened. The healing journey is a spiritual journey, and all aspects of the person must be addressed to walk through that gate with awareness and compassion.

In HeartMind Solutions™ trainings you will learn advanced listening, observation, communication, and body-centered focusing to help you connect with the person and the process in the moment to get to the heart of the matter effectively. Mindfulness and self study are cultivated to quiet the thinking mind and feel the situation in the now. This informs both practitioner and client about underlying issues and how the body is involved. HeartMind work helps you find skillful and compassionate ways to connect clients with their emotional intelligence, their bodies and their intuition as a way to transform pain and find meaning in the healing journey.
HeartMind work has guidelines that help you shape the healing relationship you have with clients and maintain an environment of respect and partnership. Studies show that the single most important factor in healing is the relationship between practitioner and client. The quality of that therapeutic connection keeps people coming back to you because you earn their trust and respect. Clients feel truly listened to and understood. They feel satisfied and tell others about their experiences. This maintains your practice and brings in new referrals.
HeartMind studies give you new ideas for approaching clients that are difficult to work with, seem resistant to change, or trigger you in some way. They show you how to connect with the spirit and aliveness of your clients in the moment to find the next step for healing. You will feel more satisfied after a session, less frustrated with difficult patients, and more collaborative with your clients.
Using focused awareness, intentional compassion, and energy work based on qigong methods, you learn to build the internal and external resources your clients need to recognize their blind spots, relieve their pain and soothe their emotional stress. Clients learn to use their bodies as a resource for change. Mindful awareness and the body help people move through life’s transitions and stay on the path towards health and happiness.
HeartMind methods benefit practitioners personally. In the experiential exercises that characterize HeartMind Solutions workshops, participants alternate in the role of practitioner and patient. You learn to feel more comfortable handling emotions and inner conflicts, and discover how your own patterns get in the way of healing. Burnout and being overly responsible can be prevented with awareness and new skills.
As you integrate self reflection, proper pacing, letting go and embracing the moment, your healing presence grows. This adds to your ability to be a more effective healer and guide. You begin to see yourself and your clients with a different lens. The healing journey of others can be a means of self cultivation when you are able to study how you react and respond to different situations and challenges you face everyday in your practice.
The renewal retreats for practitioners are specifically designed to help you study how your practice and your business are metaphors for your own personal and spiritual growth. While you earn CEU’s and network with other practitioners, you renew and refresh in nature and take a new look at your practice and your life.
Individual supervision and coaching occurs in classes, conference calls, retreats and personal mentoring. In every workshop Kamala teaches heartmind skills in a systematic way, and you can immediately apply them in your practice. They can be incorporated into any style of acupuncture, Oriental bodywork, physical therapy or other method of healthcare.
The word HeartMind means many things. Simply put, HeartMind is a state of being. It is consciousness, love and spirit. When cultivated in a health care setting, HeartMind is the solution for relieving physical symptoms, attuning to intuition, aligning with your life’s purpose, and transforming unhealthy patterns in body and mind.
