Editorial Reviews

"It's like a yoga video for your heart."

We all want to receive love, and yet the simple truth is that we do a lot of work to restrict the amount of love we let in. In this home study video, you will have the opportunity to explore how, in an effort to protect yourself from feeling pain, you learned to restrict your willingness to receive love. You will have the opportunity to dissolve old rules that hold you back from receiving love and expand your experience of love on a day-to-day basis.

Integrated Awareness® is one of the most powerful and least known healing modalities in the world. Join Mark Fourman, Certified Integrated Awareness Teacher, as he gently guides you through the explorations on this video to begin opening up to all the love that is available to you.

Also available on VHS: AISN number B0001E5C3A.

5.0 out of 5 stars Receiving Love -- Four Rich Explorations, February 17, 2004

By 

Kim (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Receiving Love - A Mandria Healing Home Workshop (DVD)

This is a wonderful home workshop for anyone who is interested in exploring the barriers to opening the heart. I finished the workshop feeling very alive and inspired about the possibilities that unfolded during my experience.

The four half hour explorations can be done sequentially, as a full workshop session, or individually, at one's own pace. The workshop includes footage of the teacher, Mark Fourman, providing guidance, suggestions, and support throughout the four explorations. It also follows the experiences of the participating students.

I set aside a couple of hours, popped in the DVD, and followed along as a workshop participant. The explorations were very subtle and quite powerful, consisting of instructions from the teacher and small movements of the body, which I carried out while sitting, standing, or lying down.

I learned alot during the workshop, particularly that there are places in my body that tend to be closed off, perhaps resisting love. I also found places that were already open, where love flowed more easily. The DVD helped me to understand that my intention to explore the places of resistance, coupled with my awareness, can help me to soften and surrender into a more natural state of receptivity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Integrated Awareness in our Relationships - Receiving Love, March 9, 2004

By 

"thyme119" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Receiving Love - A Mandria Healing Home Workshop (DVD)

Having been interested in Feldenkrais integrated awareness through movement for some years it never ceases to amaze me how far the envelope can be opened with new aspects of learning. I feel Mark Fourman has pushed open the envelope of learning in one of the most important areas of our life experience.

I had the most pleasurable experience just watching the Receiving Love DVD of Mark's workshop. I can recognise that focusing on the secondary visual cortex alone would almost be sufficient to make one receptive to receiving love. I also recognise that this allows us to be totally present to the moment.

I would like to thank Mark for sharing this knowledge and I can see that his perception and ability to convey this to others has an enormous potential to alleviate many problems in relationships, be they personal ones or our dealings with colleagues and all those with whom we come into contact.

5.0 out of 5 stars What you never learned in school!, February 20, 2004

By 

R. Wagemann (Thorne Bay, AK USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Receiving Love: A Mandria Healing Workshop [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is what "learning" is all about, not a lecture from someone that "tells you how you should be"! Mark acts as a compassionate guide while you get to discover for yourself, what is true for yourself. This is about how you work inside and outwardly, not a "how to fix it tape". The truly great thing is, you come away with some ideas and tools to do things differently if you choose.

Several of my friends and I explored the video on Valentines Day. Though there were some similarities, we all came up with our own unique discoveries and insights. Later, I went through 2 of the movement processes again on my own, and came up with several more rich and meaningful perceptions about myself.

Already I feel myself less afraid in the world and more able to open to the love that is available. I plan on reviewing these exercises several more times to see how things change for me over time. If you like to "experience things for yourself", rather than just hearing about them from someone else, then give yourself a gift and try this video!
