Anandita and I have recently started Original Movement therapy sessions with Devika Shekar. If you ask me,i am not too sure why i decided to go ahead with it-OMT sessions for Anandita and Body mapping for me. 4 sessions down and both of us have figured it out thats its a happy space to be in. Of movement and tuning in . Of silent moments . Of a zone where we can simply be ourselves.
Am sharing more information on OMT and Devika here. She is keen to work one on one or in a group with special needs children and children with challenges . She is one of those rare few whose heart is in the right place( if you know what i mean :) )

Original Movement Therapy™ comes from the thought that all
true movement comes from within. Devika Sekhar, trained and worked in Dance
Movement Psychotherapy in the UK and now practices in India. Devika Sekhar is
also an Associate International Member of the ADTA.
Original movement therapy comes from the thought that all
true movement comes from within. This original movement is lost over time due
to our hectic schedules and don’t have time to reembrace it.It is also a mean
for those unable to speak or people who are dealing with clinical issues that
are hidden within the subconscious ,beyond the reach of language.
Original Movement Therapy Sessions
This different approach to therapy is unlike ‘talking
therapies’ as it worked through movement, art and sound. This is also not a
dance class and prior knowledge of dance is not necessary. It is important to
remember that the therapist will be working alongside you to be able to express
yourself. Through this we will be looking, taking chances and experimentin g together.
These original movement therapy sessions offer a welcoming
and safe space for those wishing to explore themselves and wish to make a
positive and lasting transformation in their lives in a creative way.
This reconnection between the mind and body gives way for
ones own story and in turn acts like a bridge between the unconscious, possibly
offering new insights.
Original movement therapy is suitable for both children and
adults, both individually and in groups. It is especially recognised when
working with families with children with special needs or families going
through some form of emotional ordeal. For the child who could be at risk at
being 'labelled' as a problem at school, this therapeutic help is a chance to
break a probable cycle of negative behaviour and replace this with more
positive alternatives.
This intervention during the childs early years can have a
preventative effect - for example by helping a child with dealing with anger
issues could prevent him from lashing out later on in life.
Some problems which can be worked through original movement
therapy are;
Behavioural issues; anti-social children and adults
Those with Autism
Emotional issues
Relationship difficulties
Anger issues
Life crisises
Those who seem to be directionless in life.
Self awareness
It is also important to note that one doesn't have to have
something 'wrong' with them to come for OMT sessions or want to take part in
workshops. Goal specific workshops/sessions are designed for those in the
corporate setting/organisations/centres, schools or NGOs. Kindly contact me if
you'd like to know more
** NOTE: All
individual therapy sessions are adapted to suit the individuals needs
and done after a prior consultation**
