Integrated Awareness was developed over the last 30 years by Lansing Barrett Gresham, who lives in Cotati, California. Lansing studied many different healing disciplines and found that most disciplines restricted themselves to one or two tissue types (bone, muscle and connective tissue or nervous system, etc.) and/or one or two levels of consciousness (mental, emotional, spiritual or energetic, etc.). Integrated Awareness was born out of Lansing's recognition that many tissue types and levels of consciousness are typically involved in sustaining and releasing any particular issue. (Hence the "Integrated" part of Integrated Awareness.)
An Integrated Awareness session is a learning or re-patterning experience for the client. The Integrated Awareness teacher sees his or her role as one of assisting the client's discovery and learning, rather than "fixing" or "working on" the client's problem. Assisting the client in increasing their awareness of all tissue types, body locations, physical patterns and levels of consciousness relating to an issue typically results in spontaneous healing. (Hence the "Awareness" part of Integrated Awareness.)
Integrated Awareness is the art and practice of expanding our awareness of all levels of consciousness – physical, mental, emotional, energetic and soul – so that we can re-examine learnings made in the past in ways that allow us re-learn and make new choices for the future.
There are about 100 Integrated Awareness teachers in the world and I am the first one in Massachusetts.
The short answer is “Almost anything that relates to healing of the mind, body and soul.” A good description of healed is:
 |
Physically when you are capable of doing what you want without fear of pain or recurrence of injury |
|
Emotionally when you are responsive to present events instead of using them to recreate past hurts |
|
Mentally when you are quiet and without a sense of coercion |
|
Spiritually when you live in a state in which all parts of you are present, your energy is congruent with your physical structure, your consciousness is anchored in the present moment and no part of you wishes to be different than it is. |
