Episode 10, Cornelia Schmitz - Nothing is Lacking

In this episode i talked to my somatic therapy and the discipline of authentic movement teacher Cornelia Schmitz. To me our conversation feels as a present pulsation of a living cell - true, unrushed, authentic, unusual, rhythmic and nurturing. We felt rather than talked, yet both sensing, feeling and thinking can be found in this reflective episode. From Cornelia I'm learning active listening of my inner and outer environments, not simply what it says verbally, but also how the energy, emotions and sensations emerge. She's a living example of embodied living, communication and compassion.

Cornelia Schmitz began to practice Authentic Movement in 1990 as a student of Linda Hartley and then in 1998 she began practicing the Discipline of Authentic Movement with Janet Adler. The practice has become central to her work and life, bringing her a deep sense of recognition and the longing to be as close as possible to her truth as an embodied human being. Cornelia has worked in hospitals (psychosomatic as well as psychiatric) and in counseling centers. She did three years of scientific research in the Lower Saxon Institute for Criminology. She holds lectures and courses concerning the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems. She also finds expression in visual arts and writing and has followed a healing tradition of inner guidance since 1983.  Cornelia Schmitz has a diploma in Psychology, in Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy and has completed training programs as a Gestalt Therapist and Bodyworker, a Client-centered Psychotherapist and as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist. She has done extensive studies of various forms of Somatics since 1981, particularly Creative Dance, Contact Improvisation, Cranio-Sacral Movement Therapy, Vocal Expression, Aikido, Qi Gong.
