Vladimir Volrab with Giovanni Felicioni
Giovanni Felicioni is a Yoga teacher, a certified Advanced Rolfer™, a Rolf Movement™ practitioner and a WCCM Oblate. He explains what trauma is for our physical bodies and what are the possible symptoms. How is body connected with traumatic experiences and how could we treat them? What is the contemplative perspective to this issue? That and much more in this conversation.
“It was a wonderful turning moment in my life…Because a lot of my religious yearnings and my yearnings to be successful in my career all came together in the wonderful life-giving simplicity of what meditation is about […] I discovered John Main because my mother told me to listen to a talk by Laurence Freeman and said she had never heard anyone talk about prayer like this before. So I listened and I went on to listen to John Main and I feel I fell into an explanation and an understanding that made sense to me immediately in my heart…”
“Trauma is not an object that we pursue. Something that we find, we take it to the clinic and it gets cleaned. In fact, the more you treat it that way the more you wound yourself, the more you underline you are this abused, war-torn person.”
“So trauma is the outcome of natural / unnatural events, often the wave of experience is very big and we need to deal with it. Trauma is that event which was too much, came too soon, was unexpected, caught us and impacted us and did not allow us to complete something.”
