Alison Shaw, NP, LMT, of Bodymind Resourcing, in Arlington, will present a free teleclass on listening to symptoms as messengers. The class will take place over the telephone from 7 to 8 p.m. on March 13.

Shaw says that the class will help participants to uncover the wisdom of the body-mind connection to enhance their healing. “Healing traditions throughout time have viewed illness as a symbol of underlying imbalances in body, mind and soul,” says Shaw. “Instead of fighting to ‘beat’ our symptoms, we can learn what’s needed to heal their root causes if we’re willing to stop and listen on a deeper level to our body-mind.”

An integrative nurse practitioner and body-mind expert with more than 25 years of experience, Shaw says the teleclass will help people to see illness as a metaphor for healing. Participants will be led on a guided visualization to explore messages from within their own body-mind. They’ll also gain tools for continuing the technique and using Shaw’s Bodymind Resourcing approach as an adjunct to other healing modalities. “This groundbreaking integrative therapy helps people discover and release the underlying body-mind patterns that keep them stuck in illness and pain,” she says.
