SY is based on the understanding and philosophy that human beings are holistic and made up layers:
- the physical body;
- the energy system that is made up of the breath & physiology;
- the mind that contains thoughts, perceptions and beliefs based on our lived experiences;
- intuition that resides below our thoughts;
- our essence or deeper being that is peaceful, calm & loving.
From a SY perspective, when one layer is being compromised or impacted, all other layers feel the disruption. For example, if you feel stressed, most likely it’s hard to breathe; your muscles feel tight; your mind may be spinning and you may not have connection to your feelings.
