Eastwind Mind-Body Psychotherapy Institute
 

Eastwind is dedicated to training mental health professionals to understand and apply the underlying principles of mind-body psychotherapy through a series of educational programs. It is our strong belief that people heal more deeply and effectively when psychotherapy is integrated with body psychology and spiritual practice.

Training will involve learning how to integrate holistic therapy concepts into psychological interventions. Practices such as mindfulness, Buddhist psychology, energy medicine, Reiki, Chinese medicine, hypnosis, yoga, Authentic Movement, dream analysis, and quantum healing will be taught as effective tools for accessing deeper states of psychological change. Other topics may be offered as needed.

As part of training, all students are strongly encouraged to develop some type of meditation practice and to embrace some form of energy cultivation. Meditational methods will be taught in depth in some of the courses and will be an ongoing part of the teachings. Yoga and qigong will be introduced in some classes in order to support each student’s cultivation of vital energy.
