Hakomi Method

The Hakomi Method is a mindfulness, somatic and experience-based  approach to change. The Method is used both as a psychotherapeutic process as well as in educational settings to facilitate self-exploration and personal growth.

The Principles

At the heart of The Hakomi Method is a set of time-honored principles which underlie all aspects of the work. Navigating by these principles, the practitioner approaches both the client and the process with a sense of wholeness, respect, and humility. 

The principles are:

• Unity: an inclusive awareness of the interrelatedness of things• Organicity: the recognition and  honoring of each person’s individuality• Mind/Body/Spirit Holism: the assumption that all elements of experience are essential.• Mindfulness: the value of being genuinely aware of exactly what is happening• Nonviolence: a commitment to respect and loving regard• Truth: the pursuit of the actual nature of things• Change: the trust that things can and will move and evolve
