Episode 122: Melting Freeze at the Dawn of the Golden Age with Brigit Viksnins
Today on the Everything Belongs Podcast, Madison is in conversation with Brigit Viksnins, MAT, SEP, RCST®, BCTMB.
Brigit created the flourishing professional training program "Alchemical Alignment, Somatic Work for Trauma Resolution and Embodiment of Spirit," which harmonizes with any mind, body, or spirit therapeutic practice using Biodynamic Craniosacral, Pre and Perinatal, shamanic, and Aikido principles, along with Somatic Experiencing-informed trauma resolution skills. Based on thirty years of private practice, Alchemical Alignment(TM) is a freeze-melting modality that guides and supports practitioners both in the cultivation of subtle existential-level skills for meeting post-inescapable conditions of danger in themselves and others; and in the expansion of their existing range of resilience—especially after the people around them have been the danger. Beyond trauma resolution, embodiment of spirit becomes possible.
She also created the Alignment Sequence, a mindful movement tool for post-traumatic embodiment. Her new book, The Map of Seven Realms: Melting Freeze at the Dawn of the Golden Age, written with Heather de Guzman Gordon, is now emerging as we enter the year of the dragon.
