By practicing the movement meditation audio tracks on the CD, Pathway to Presence, you will not only deepen your experience of giving and receiving Trager® sessions, but also increase your ability to transfer this somatic connection of Source into all areas of your life.

This applies not only to you, a Trager practitioner, but for your clients as well!

Whether you are walking your dog, or fluffing a thigh muscle, or taking care of your credit card bills; whether you are playing along the border of restriction and openness with a shoulder, or resolving a conflict with your spouse; whether you are driving to the office, or inhaling the fragrance of a rose, or pushing your child on a swing...your experience of these and every other act will deepen if you use…

Trager as an Approach to Living

For me this phrase is my professional and personal mantra. By applying the principles of Dr. Milton Trager’s teachings in all areas of life, my moment to moment enjoyment has dramatically increased, my sense of contentment has swelled, and my empowerment has blossomed. All these gifts just by using Mentastics® to connect consciously and somatically to Source.

As a Trager practitioner you know the value of Mentastics. You know how they can deepen your experiences. With the CD Pathway to Presence you (and your clients) now have a valuable, well-crafted, and professional tool with which to play. Spread the "feeling" of Trager into yet more areas of your life.

“Audrey's CD will be a wonderful addition to the Trager materials available to the public and I think many of our practitioners and students will enjoy having this CD…” Gwen Crowell and Kathryn Hansman-Spice on behalf of the ICMT

With this newest offering, Pathway to Presence, I have three main intentions:

1. To deepen the experience of life by supplying a product that leads people through a series of Mentastics that cultivates a consistent present moment connection to the Life Force that is all around us.
2. To foster the quality of innocence and presence in the touch of Trager practitioners so they can more clearly feel a client’s body under their hands, thereby making the act of giving a session not only more rewarding for the practitioner but more healing for the client.
3. To spread the magic of Trager to a wider audience by supplying yet another quality product with which practitioners can leverage their efforts, expand their business, and make a positive contribution to the health and well-being of clients.

“Audrey, I love your CD.  Almost always the voice carrying a guided meditation is "off" in some way that leaves me feeling irritated. Not yours. I love the clean authenticity of your delivery, congruence of content and form. What a relief to be able to wholeheartedly recommend it with no caveat or qualm!“ Susan Holper, Senior Trager Practitioner, Tutor

The Path of Mentastics®

A map is not the territory. A map is an idea, an intellectual understanding of a location. By studying a map you do not go on a journey. You must actually walk the territory. Studying a map of Montreal would have been very different than experiencing the city first hand at the last international conference. Walking the streets of Old Montreal, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells is much richer than merely studying pictures. And still further, to live there would be very different again: getting to know the Quebecois culture, the people, the seasons….

In the same way the purpose of Pathway to Presence is to give you a series of exercises that will lead you down a path into your inner territory.

Hook up is an inner experience. It is not outside us; it is inside us. We must learn to navigate our inner territory, removing any preoccupation with the map of intellectual understanding.

Don't get me wrong, there is great value in intellectual understanding. It was why I wrote Trager for Self-Healing: a Practical Guide for Living in the Present Moment. But the fact is—as with all books—what was missing was the experience, which is exactly where Pathway to Presence focuses.

Without a doubt the best way to get the experience I speak of is through a session. That will never change. Yet I believe it is also a good thing to have as many tools as possible, so that in between sessions a person can easily illicit the feelings from the session into their everyday lives.

Trager is transcendent

With experience you have true power and knowledge. Increasing experience forms habits, and such habits can revolutionize the way you live your life.

When your unconscious body/mind is conditioned through repetition and practice to continually return to the present moment, to being consciously in the body with a sense of curiosity and innocence, then no matter what is going on in life—sorrow, doubt, laughter— will be deeper and richer.

This is what I mean by Trager as an Approach to living.

Traits of a person using Trager as an Approach to Living:

• Includes rather than excludes.
• Embraces rather than divides.
• Allows rather than pushes.

What you resist persists

We are never going to get away from discomfort. There will always be some measure of it, be it physical or emotional. To want to live without discomfort is like saying you want to live without rain, without clouds.

By embracing whatever kind of energy that is running through our bodies, we live more fully.

What you try not to feel you re-enforce. When you try not to feel something, you continually keep it in your awareness. Within your inner landscape you cannot push through a blockage; the harder you push the stronger the blockage gets. (Or else it transmutes into something slyer, becoming even more unconscious.)

Effort and Trager are opposites. As a practitioner, when we meet with resistance we go lighter, inviting the client to feel what it would be like without the blockage. This does not mean denying the discomfort. It means accepting it, feeling it, allowing it to be. Only by allowing it do you reduce its power. Only by allowing it do you give yourself an opening to release and transcend it.

The tools you will experience by practicing the Mentastics on this CD will assist you in accepting and transcending any challenging energies (and the habits that gave rise to them). By practicing these Mentastics you will get to know your inner territory, you will get to know how to condition your body/mind to be a conduit for the ever-present Life Force. You will get to know what it feels like to be in the present moment—your place of power.

When you practice in this way, using Trager as an approach to living, some of the benefits you can look forward to are:

• A dramatic increase in your present moment awareness.
• An increasing sense of lightness, peace, empowerment, and bliss.
• The release of old emotional/physical holding patterns that have kept you circling in the same old feelings, habits, and actions.
• The release and reduction of emotional and physical discomfort and suffering.
• A somatic experience of the active component of Source, the Life Force, running through the body/mind.
• A deepening of your unconscious connection to Spirit.
• The creation of a conscious dialogue with Source, which will allow you to be guided to right action.
• The ability and empowerment to transform your life in new and exciting directions.

Journey with me. Support the expansion of Trager into mass consciousness! Together we will make a difference, first within ourselves, then to individuals—family, friends, and clients—and finally to communities at large. Click here to order your CD.

Love and Light,
Audrey Mairi

P.S. Remember, this is a special preview launch of the CD for the Trager organization and clients only. In the coming months it will be launched to the general public.
