How does Vivation work?

Vivation consists of Five Elements, or component skills necessary to create deliberate happiness in your life. These elements are Circular Breathing, Complete Relaxation, Awareness in Detail, Integration into Ecstasy and Do Whatever You Do, Willingness is Enough. With skillful practice these elements empower you to permanently and pleasurably heal any negative emotions keeping you from enjoying your life more fully. All these elements work together towards maximizing your enjoyment of the total human experience of life.  Vivation works directly at the feeling level and puts you directly in touch with the pleasurable feelings that empower you to heal yourself on many levels. This makes it easier for you to let go of chronic tensions and life-long holding patterns that up until now have been stuck. By connecting directly with the physical feelings in your body, any negative thoughts you have about those feelings are bypassed, resulting in a much more honest and pleasurable experience. That 's because all of your feelings, when experienced honestly, are actually good. For example, the emotional pattern of energy we call "sadness" is actually a feeling of gratitude when experienced honestly. The same is true for all "negative" emotions.  What makes Vivation particularly powerful is you don't have to change or control your thoughts for it to work.  Vivation has no mental component, so Vivation works perfectly regardless of what you happen to be doing or thinking. Vivation is a bodily led experience which will consistently lead you on a journey of deep healing and personal renewal. We call this body leadership, because you are allowing your body's wisdom to guide you from one moment to the next.. You could say Vivation is like getting a massage from the inside out.  For more information on how Vivation works and what the Five Elements are, go here.

What is a Vivation session like?

Each session begins with an hour of instruction followed by an hour of coached Vivation session.  In each session you are carefully guided through a unique experience in healing and bliss with the goal of achieving your own autonomy with the skill.  Vivation accomplishes this by bringing you directly in touch with your body, which is the only thing truly present. Want to be experience the "power of now"? Then notice what you are feeling in your body.  Your body is the gateway to the present moment. During a Vivation session you are continually opening to experiencing and enjoying the strongest feelings in your body each moment as they unfold. A good Vivation session brings you the gift of the present moment through an ongoing surprise of blissful feelings and aliveness that keeps on giving in ways you never thought possible or could have imagined.

Can I do Vivation anywhere?

Yes, once you've learned Vivation you can use it anytime and anywhere you want. Vivation is very portable - that's the power of it.  You can vive while you're driving, walking, working, playing, anything you can imagine. We call this Vivation-in-Action, and it is one of the most important things you learn during your Vivation training.

Is Vivation meditation?

Yes, however Vivation is far easier and more powerful than any type of meditation any you are likely to encounter. With most forms of meditation you are asked to “quiet the mind”. With Vivation there is no such requirement. Instead you pay attention to the strongest feeling in the body, regardless of what’s going on in the mind. The only thing accomplished when attempting to quiet the mind is suppressing the very thoughts and feelings you want to integrate. Second, most forms of meditation require undisturbed locations, without noises or distractions.  Vivation is very efficient at helping you integrate all of your emotional experiences, so it doesn't matter where you are.   You can do it while walking, driving, playing, working, and anywhere else you can imagine. It doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing, Vivation is an internal skill you can use all the time. We call this Vivation-in-Action, and it is one of the most empowering things you could ever learn. Quite simply, Vivation is about maximizing your enjoyment of the total human experience of life in all areas. For those familiar with yoga, Vivation-in-Action embodies the practices of both Bhakti and Karma yoga.

Is Vivation breathwork?

Vivation consists of five important elements for expanding joy, happiness and wellbeing, of which breathwork is just one of them.

Is Vivation therapy?

Vivation is very therapeutic but not therapy, because it's something you do for yourself rather than having it done for you.

Is Vivation safe?

Vivation has been proven safe and effective by over 100,000 clients worldwide.

Can I learn Vivation on my own?

Vivation is very effective at bringing up suppressed material that you haven’t been able to integrate. Having a Vivation Professional there to nurture and guide you through this profound experience of self-discovery is essential. Until you are competently shown how to pleasurably and efficiently resolve the wide range of emotional and kinesthetic experiences that come up during Vivation, you won’t have the knowledge that such a things is even possible. In all our years of training independent minded people form around the world, we have yet to meet a single person who has been able successfully master Vivation without a teacher’s guided assistance. It is the same as learning how to fly a plane or sail a boat…such guidance is crucial and priceless. Besides, our entire goal is to teach you how to do this on your own.

How long does it take to learn Vivation?

Vivation is a very efficient process at resolving suppressed negative emotions, so it takes considerably less time to master than similar methods. Vivation can be learned in as little as three or four days, assuming all the necessary lessons and sessions (about 7-10) are done back-to-back. The reason is that each lesson builds on the next until you have enough efficiency to do it on your own. After 30 years this has proven to be the single most effective way to learn Vivation. If too much time passes between lessons, previous sessions are not fresh enough to provide the necessary impetus for further improvements in efficiency. The 7 Basic Lessons was designed to teach all the elements of Vivation back to back to allow the full spectrum of emotions to surface and integrate in an efficient and pleasurable manner. Once you’ve been able to heal every type of negative emotion in this way, you realize everything integrates and there is no such thing as an emotion that can’t be resolved.
