Hanna Nordqvist - Body-oriented Coachings & Trainings

04/03/2024

Dear all, for anyone interested in trying out body-work: With my child turning five this spring and after a few years of reduced working hours, I finally have more time for giving sessions and very much looking forward to get to touch more people! 😊 In order to expand my network and reach I will be offering a number of free 20 minute sessions in our practice-space in Berlin-Mitte. Feel free to contact me or book a session-time over the online-calender (https://appt.link/hanna-nordqvist/free-try-out-session) if you feel like trying out my work or to reconnect if you have already been 🥰 and I would be very grateful if the offer could be passed on to anyone you think could profit from some attentive touch. More about my work here: https://www.hannanordqvist.com/one-on-one-sessions/

One-on-one SessionsIn a personal process I offer you a safe space and a range of embodied approaches as encouragement to bring new perspectives and clarity to whatever topics you bring to the sessions. Over a number of regular encounters I touch, ask questions, observe, and describe what I perceive....

Tomorrow again digital "embodied writing-space" 1:00-2:30pm. Warmly welcome to join me there! https://www.hannanordqvist.com/digital-blog-writing-space/

Another set of Trainings/Writing spaces coming up - I started in July offering a "Digital Blog-writing-space" which I have now renamed "digital embodied-writing-space" because i realised that for me the space needs to be more open in terms of format and forum - it is more about getting to the page bringing topics and questions and seeing what wants to be expressed and shared in what form. Here more information and Dates: https://www.hannanordqvist.com/digital-blog-writing-space/

And if you are curious about trying out a one-on-one session. I am offering the first session half-price (35 euros instead of 70 euros) until the end of the year. I work in English, German, Swedish and Italian. Read more about my work here: https://www.hannanordqvist.com/koerperorientiertes-coaching/

Almost every monday morning until Christmas - short online movement training:

Happy Body Creative Mind - Drop in Online TrainingI can't say enough about the connection between body and mind; when you stimulate your body, your brain comes alive in ways you can't simulate in a sedentary position. The brain is an organ, tied integrally to all the other systems in the body, and i...

Every morning except Sundays - silent digital space for 15 min writing:

Connection MonologuesJoin me for 15 Minutes silent writing online. It is free and open for all!Journaling, documenting, making sense… In March 2020, at the beginning of the Corona-Pandemic, I decided to open a digital writing room for all, who like me felt an urge to process and hold on to differe...

So finally after a very long silence a posting again on this page to share some news about my work and regular movement trainings and writing-encounters I offer at the moment. I am at the beginning of the process of writing my Master Thesis which will explore the connection between Body awareness and writing, and even though it will be more about how this connection have already been made by other researchers and practitioners, and not collecting data from my own workshops and trainings, I am looking forward to let the inspiration and impulses from the readings and reflections flow into practice. See posts below for two regular digital movement and writing encounters. There will be more workshops and trainings coming up. I will post here as soon as I get around to set dates. Feel free to contact me if you are curious about or have questions about my work.

I have already posted this article a few times over the past few years, but it remains for me one of the most inspiring reflections and insights language in relation to body and movement.
So here it is again - for anyone who hasn’t read it yet or who like me want to reread it to get reminded. 🌱🐢

“Writers may not be special, sensitive or talented in any usual sense. They are simply engaged in sustained use of a language skill we all have. Their ‘creations’ come abou…

„The human soul doesn’t want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed — to be seen, heard and companioned exactly as it is.“
Just read this very inspiring article on the perils of giving advice - and made me think of how difficult it is not to take that position of helper and how truly valuable it is when someone is simply there and listen...

Sehr erleuchtend und einfach über Meditiation und Mindfulness.
"Wenn Sie zwei Minuten Zeit haben und die Situation es erlaubt, probieren Sie doch einmal Folgendes..."

Das Silicon Valley hat Technik geschaffen, die erschreckend effektiv unsere Aufmerksamkeit aufsaugt. Es gibt aber eine erwiesenermaßen wirksame Methode, sich Abwehrkräfte zuzulegen. Schon Kinder sollten sie lernen.

Die erste Interviews sind aufm Weg! Wir sind noch am Anfang, bestimmt noch viel zu lernen über die ganze Technik und allem... aber wie wunderschön, aufregend es ist die Möglichkeit zu haben Gespräche mit Menschen zu führen, darüber was ihnen bewegt, wie sie mit bestimmten Themen umgehen, und wie ihre Blick auf bestimmten Fragen ist... Ich bin so Dankbar für die ersten Gespräche und freue mich riesig auf allem, was noch kommt!!

Enjoying a lovely joke and an inspiring blog/article on regret (-thank you Aninia Schwan for your always empowering newsletter bringing me to new sources of inspiration!!) ❤
So here's the joke/story: "After a lifetime of hand-copying ancient texts, an elderly monk became abbot of his monastery. Realizing that for centuries his order had been making copies of copies, he decided to examine some of the monastery’s original documents. Days later, the other monks found him in the cellar, weeping over a crumbling manuscript and moaning, “It says ‘celebrate,’ not ‘celibate!'”
Wish you all a weekend full of joyful celebrations with lots of love and closeness!!
And here the link to the rest of the article on regret for anyone interested in diving into this important topic: http://marthabeck.com/2013/07/stop-regretting-decisions/

Enjoy!

This is so interesting! - about placebo- and nocebo-effects - the importance of what we expect from a treatment and how we are being met by the people treating us. I would say also the power of connection - of other people caring for us and speaking directly to us, and also the great transformative power of directing our attention and imagination when relating and connecting to our bodies and how we are feeling.

As a journalist who investigates the connection between our mind, body and health, I often come across phenomenal stories where healers produce miracle cures and witch doctors put curses on people. Now, if you’re scientifically minded like I am, you might be inclined to dismiss these stories as fant...
