Cancer-related Exhaustion

Online course for self-study

Practical exercises and eurythmy therapy

 

The course is part of a research project of the Institute for Integrative and Complementary Medicine IKIM,of the University of Bern.

In eurythmy therapy, the exercises are simple but effective. As cancer is often associated with stress, we are sure that especially the combination of ABSR stress release exercises with eurythmy will have a positive effect on cancer-related fatigue and general well-being.

Seven simple everyday exercises let us get in touch with daily life, discover seeds that are ready to grow and develop joy and trust: Breathing, creating space, taking oneself and one's needs seriously, perceiving oneself with love, arriving at oneself, letting go, gaining strength.

Eurythmy can show us that our body is a key to health and healing. Experiencing inner lightness and vitality, discovering multi-layered relationships, feeling embedded in a greater whole - all this can awaken and strengthen confidence and security in life. If you are limited in your mobility or tire quickly, you can also do the exercises while sitting or imagining.

During the week you might practise 10 to 15 minutes a day, but only as much as your strength allows. You will be amazed at the effect such small things can have on regaining your inner elasticity and strength.
