What if in asking questions from multiple perspectives and awareness we can coCreate infinite possibilities?
Are you curious about how a shift of perspective can influence your well-being?
Awareness through asking and listening: a dialogue with many.
This philosophy embraces the power of having multiple choices in perspective and perception.
Niasziih (pronounced Ni-a-zee-EYE) This practice comes from an ancient wisdom that roughly translates as "Vessel of Healing." At its core is a philosophy of choice passed down from the lineage of the Lipan Apache Elder, Stalking Wolf, to Tom Brown, Jr. and Karl Direske.

What if the path is within you for wholeness and healing?
wildernessFusion, a school near Asheville, North Carolina teaches people from all walks of life simple tools to make choices about well being. The wildernessFusion school began 10 years ago so now there are many of us familiar with this practice of deep contact, asking questions and listening. The Tracker School was established over 40 yrs ago.
After Tom Brown, Jr's crossing over in 2024, his son, River Brown, and many other instructors carry on the teachings around the globe.
Do you want to track what is holding you back from what you desire?
Do unhealed wounds of the past create filters so you aren't living fully in the "now"?
Everything IS change. How do you do transitions?
Deeply rooted in earth-based spiritual traditions, this energy work is also centered in our physical body.
The practices are handed down from Grandfather, a Lipan Apache elder experienced in the ways of tracking.
When I make contact in the physical to the earth, then I can navigate from an internal place to make choices that manifest in the external.
A practitioner asks questions from multiple perspectives to give the choice of exploring new ways of perception from your own internal.
We do inner tracking by asking many questions. Sometimes the questions create contradictions and spark movement through choice.
The language we use is based on earth philosophy and symbols.
With spaciousness, perspective is gained, clarity unfolds.
What do you want to create?
The place of departure for this journey begins in feeling what is here now.
You may choose to lie face up, fully-clothed on a massage table or even on the earth on a blanket or yoga mat.
Hands on work maybe be directed towards areas of the body like the stomach, heart, shoulder, head, legs and feet for contact.
You may be guided to use other tools like yoga blocks and straps to feel the contact within your body and with the earth.
What you may see on the outside is a person asking questions while deeply connected to another person.
What lies under the surface is a profound bond with Earth, Self and Others, creating a place where communication bubbles up allowing for transformation to be possible.
The choice is yours, through awareness and embracing multiple perspectives to move from fixed points in your life that may be holding you back.
We use methods to track the internal landscapes. Simple questions for reflections are "What happened here?" "What am I feeling?" "What does this mean?"

Like the tools gained from Niasziih, Tellington TTouch methods can help humans and dogs feel grounded and “in their body” by bringing an awareness through movement and pressure.
TTouch is a modality that can change mind/body patterns through non-habitual movement. There are elements in this practice similar to Feldenkrais method. Research with Linda Tellington-Jones and by others has shown these touches influence cellular communication in many ways: from activating the hormone, oxytocin, to simulating the vagus nerve.

Tellington Training Method ® (TTOUCH) is a system of gentle circular touches that move the skin to work on cellular function in the body. This is not a massage, but light touches used for companion animals and horses. My Heartfelt Touch Dog Training website is now here.
TTouch-For-You ® is for human beings. These methods bring awareness about body movement and becoming "present" to fully occupy your body.
