The Commonwealth Club: Body Intelligence: Discovering Your Right Relationship to Your Body, Your Loved Ones and the Natural World

By combining the latest scientific research and over 20 years of medical practice, Rachel Carlton Abrams will empower you to find greater health and joy within your body and your life. You will learn how to cultivate the right relationship with yourself, with others and with the natural world. She will lead you through exercises that help you listen to your own innate body intelligence––the subtle and not-so-subtle signals that our body uses to communicate with us. Research shows that our personal relationships and our connection to nature have an enormous impact on our health—including risks of all chronic diseases: heart disease, diabetes, depression, anxiety and even cancer. Abrams will teach you a method to find your way back to right relationship with the important people in your life—whether finding the connections you crave or setting the boundaries that keep you safe. You will learn about your deep and abiding connection to the natural world and how you can reimmerse yourself in the healing and calming power of nature. We are not separate from nature, and its impact on us is physically and emotionally profound. Abrams has written five books on integrative and holistic approaches to health, relationships and sexuality. She is a much sought-after speaker who uniquely integrates the latest science with ancient wisdom to help you heal and finally discover true lasting health.

Accessing Your Body’s ‘Yes’ as a Path to Healing: How to Align With Your Body-Health-Nature Intelligence for Total Wellbeing.

Accessing Your Body’s ‘Yes’ as a Path to Healing: How to Align With Your Body-Health-Nature Intelligence for Total Wellbeing.

So many of us are facing widespread health issues these days –– from high stress levels to anxiety, fatigue, depression, food cravings, and many other addictions.

Even the most common health complaints aren’t easily explained by Western medicine. However, I view these conditions as puzzles that can be solved — through the body’s wisdom...

In fact, your body can communicate and then guide you in healing many common disorders, and even holds wisdom that can help you transform your genetic expression.

Starting September 25th, I’ll be teaching a course on how to align yourself with your body, nature, and the world around you.

We’ve kicked this course off with a FREE video event – Accessing Your Body’s ‘Yes’ as a Path to Healing: How to Align With Your Body-Health-Nature Intelligence for Total Wellbeing.

You can access the video here: https://shiftnetwork.isrefer.com/go/byRA/a17284/

Once you access the video, you’ll be offered a chance to sign up for my course. Those who sign up by September 24th receive a free bonus course as well!

Course Dates: All sessions begin at 5:30pm PT

  • 9/25

  • No class on 10/9 (Yom Kippur)
