Bonnie Muller, LCSW, CRS
After a few sessions of the Rubenfeld Synergy Method “Tom” attended one of Ilana Rubenfeld’s workshops at Omega. He left the weekend committed to practicing the sensory and emotional freedom he experienced there and in our sessions. For several years, he has been doing variations of the Rubenfeld Bodymind Exercises® at home most mornings. He has also continued to have biweekly sessions with me.
Recently, Tom came to a session and told this crisp, clear story: “I’ll be walking along, and then I will straighten up. My chest fills, my head is looser on my neck. . .then I will notice, with my mind, that I have shifted out of my slump. For me, that’s a big difference, not being “told” what to do, what not to do. It goes back to childhood, (pointing a finger to his head), you know, feeling controlled and all that. A whole other communication is going on. My body listened to itself and then alerted me to raise myself into my full height – not like my mind told me I shouldn’t slouch.”
Thank you, Tom, for finding the words to describe how your bodymind communicates and how you value that wisdom.. . . . .
Tom is not this client’s name; the client gave written permission to disclose this anecdote as written.

Hi Bonnie- Thank you for sharing this with us. It is truly a wonder to behold when, through the gentle power of Rubenfeld Synergy, clients start to listen to their own innate wisdom and gain conscious choice about the postures they wish to take and how they wish to move in the world!
Yes, Lori. I love how our clients are co-creating with us the language to represent this innate wisdom and in-sight. You are very welcome. Bonnie
How wonderful that Tom can experience that lovely, non-critcal message from within to be with himself in a full and loving way.
Thank you, Bonnie (and “Tom”) for sharing this story.
Thank you for sharing. How simple! Ah, yes, and how ‘simple’ is a wonderful place to be and to live from.
Glad to share this and connect with what you shared, Kelly. Non-critical observance of ones’ self really helps to register something new, different, and preferable! I will pass your gratitude on to my client – thanks! Bonnie

the 7 step RSM METHOD mentioned on RSM sites was not received. How do I do that, being a member and all? Can you help me? I am “flying solo” after a one session gift from a friend. Though I immediately saw RSM’s effectiveness (I/my body seem to be tense everywhere) I must do as much as I can alone due to money/time constraints.
thanks,
Robert Curtis
