TUNING IN to the Body

Aikido Conscious Body Wisdom in Communication and Conflict Resolution

Greener Mediations now brings you the tools for mediating
mind and body wisdom, providing relief from pressures and
the ability to avoid arguments and disputes...without thinking.

Workshops & private sessions on embodied conflict resolution 
and skills for accessing intuition under pressure.

When facing pressure, can you:
Show up fully?
Stay centered?
Speak your truth?
Listen compassionately?
Identify your core needs?
Access intuition reliably?

Research suggests that body language may comprise most of our understanding of one another…. So why do we fight over words? When we hear something that we disagree with, we are predisposed to reply with contrary words that oppose and separate, laying the groundwork for conflict. TUNING IN reveals common embodied predispositions to responding to pressure that we all live with, knowingly or not. Accessing body wisdom reveals new options that apply also in word wars. It could take years to figure this out by arguing.

Tuning In is about playful response to all pressures.

Tuning In promotes breathing and encourages grace under pressure.

Tuning In teaches centering, grounding and extension.

Tuning In opens hearts… and it's fun! 


TUNING IN provides a great opportunity for connection at gatherings of family, friends or business associates, folks who work together or regularly bounce off one another. If you run an office, you create pressure for others. This can help you address pressures in more satisfying ways. If your office handles the pressure of others, it will enable you to address pressures creatively. 

The program is recognized as effective by management consultants. “I got more out of a two hour demonstration with Jerry that I got from the leading (and pricey) day-long program teaching Aikido principles for consumption in business.”    Chance Massaro, Management Consultant, Santa Rosa

In March of 2007, a program was presented at a Northern California conference of lawyer and psychologist mediators (ARDNC) and has since been appreciated in several day long programs conducted for affiliate chapters. Jeff Goldfien, JD, LLM, ADRNC Board Member stated: “In this experiential and invigorating presentation we discovered that equanimity in the midst of the push and pull of conflict, and openness to the creative potential inherent in conflict have a felt basis in the body.” 

“This contributed to my work as a mediator and teacher of Compassionate Communication. 
Jerry gave me a felt sense of the importance of working somatically. I loved it.”  Martine Algier

It has received enthusiastic reception at the 2009 Conference of the Association for Experiential Education.

Here is John’s comments:

Where Do Mediators Go to Access Intuition: Body-Wisdom Basics
Increasingly mediators are willing to embrace the non-rationality of what they do. The question of how they sense and act, best describe as intuition is the fascinating subject of this short article that explores the wisdom of Aikido.
So Why Do We Fight Over Words?
Research suggests that body language may comprise most of our understanding of one another... So why do we fight over words?

Shared Decision Making and Role Clarification Potentials in Medicine
Decision making patterns are studied according to four models that distinguish shared decisionmaking from informed consent.

BRAINS IN THE BELLY

Think twice under pressure.


If you are like me, pressures concerning family, money, time seem to evoke familiar responses every time, like maybe I’m hardwired. In some situations I resist, others I cave, but what’s interesting is my responses seem predisposed. I can trust them to pop up.

If this is true for you, and if you can recognize familiar patterns of responding to pressures, then you are half way to knowing how to access body wisdom to transform them for compassionate communication and peaceful resolution.
