NOTE FROM TED: This talk only represents the speaker’s personal views and understanding of touch, the nervous system, and health. Several claims lack legitimate scientific support. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfIn her speech Helena invistigates the theme of touch and its impact on all human being. Years of working with the body have taught Helena to see it holistically. Beyond the tangible, physical body, there is also an energetic and emotional body—inseparable layers through which we embody and experience life. Since 2009, her journey began with Rio Abierto bodywork training and led her to explore Zen Shiatsu, Kobido, Qigong, Traditional Chinese Medicine, psychosomatics, and Biodanza. Working with patients, she witnessed how deeply psycho-emotional balance affects physical health. She believes true healing happens when body, mind, and spirit align. Through Essence of Movement, she invites you to discover this wisdom. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
