It begins with the clarification about what happened when we are about 2/3 years old: the invention of an I. Which is well supported by the parents and the environment because almost everyone is living with this misunderstanding.
Then during the following life, we forget that that was a pure invention, and we begin to seriously believe it’s reality, with a tremendous effort.
Then comes the Trager part: feeling is the key to feel relaxation and the melting of the invention of the I. Then comes hook up which support this feeling towards endless freedom.
Then when this is happening minds are free from illusion and empty, what follows are empty hands which can pass this feeling to anyone they touch with feeling.
So, it is nothing new but more clear and essentially simple. For me the essence of what Milton was sharing.
I had seminars in Japan Very successful, you can ask Motoko in Osaka. Or Yoriko in Tokyo.
So it will be a spoken part with questions and experience with touch.

Class Description
Through my many years of Trager practice, and from years before as a dancer, I have explored and learned to see and feel movement in the body along spiral and diagonal pathways. Through sensing and working with various qualities of movement along these lines we can contact and help free up deep structures in the neck, back, hips, chest and belly. We also find alternate ways to reach areas otherwise unavailable in some clients due to positioning or contact restrictions. We avoid falling into seeing the body as two dimensional. This gives us more flexibility in our work.
In this workshop designed for Trager Practitioners, we'll develop our awareness and ability to feel these pathways, and the connective tissue that creates them, both in ourselves and in our clients. We'll explore Mentastics that broaden our awareness of three-dimensional movement patterns, elongation, elasticity, connection and expansion. And spend much of our time practicing simple, efficient ways of facilitating these movement possibilities in our tablework partners.

Prerequisites: Completion of Level III training, or Trager Practitioner status
Class Fee: $525
This workshop addresses two vital parts of Trager that go beyond safety and relaxation. More precise clinical assessment helps you can see with Somatic Movement Therapy eyes and assess your client’s movement for what work will be most meaningful for them in both the short term and the long term. And a focus on increasing tissue aliveness and imparting a felt sense of “springy vitality” in the clients who really need it (and most need it somewhere) – starting, of course, with learning to develop a balanced and energized tone in our own bodies from which to work. What could it feel like with more spring in attitude, more tone in tissue, more integration in structure, and more youthful aliveness in movement? How do we cultivate these qualities in our self-preparation time, in our interview process, in our table time, and in the way we integrate the session into life patterns? What happens when, after establishing sufficient safety, trust and relaxation, we focus the session on the feeling of agelessness?

I will be teaching the class that Gail was invited to teach. As I read the topics Gail planned to offer, I can see ways to use her suggestions, with some changes and additions. It seems to me that to understand what Milton Trager wanted for his students is critical to the quality of our work. At the same time, he wanted us to make the work our own. He never believed that what we do must look like what he did, and he made this clear on many occasions.
Please know that this class is not about technique! There is no end to deepening feeling qualities in our own minds! Milton wanted us to feel more and to think less. This is a never- ending process and we will spend our time together exploring exactly this. When we trust ourselves and take risks everything becomes possible!
‘Forget the body, it’s the mind we’re after.’ Dr. Trager left us many ‘koans’ like this to instruct us in developing the qualities of feeling, movement and thinking that make up our Trager work. This Level 15 includes a playful exploration of what happens to us and our clients when we deliberately ‘enter the mind of Dr. Trager’ and see his view of body and mind as our own. (This is Gail’s idea and it’s great! We’ll go there! -Bill)
As a group, we can find ways to inspire each other. Each individual can play with expanding their own repertoire, including their communication skills, so that our practice can grow from within.
Goals for the class:
Exploring the degrees of freedom in one's own mind and movement as a practitioner
Giving the client a feeling of ease in various situations
Finding practical ways to recall, enter into and stay in hook-up
Expanding security, confidence and creativity in our own qualities of form and presence
Content:
Communicating with clients-describing the work
Varied exercises with the goal of deepening our listening skills
Work on the table, chairs and mats, exploring movement and touching in the treatment in new, different ways
Giving sessions to outside clients during the class
