Excerpt from Nomi's much anticipated book, "Gates of Power: Mastering the Channels of Empowerment."
In my teens, before enrolling into the Academy for The Performing Arts, I was the most un-athletic person I knew. A stranger to my body, I hated gym classes. I did my best to avoid them, as well as any movement activity outside of the most necessary ones. Needless to say, I felt awkward and, at times, tortured by the array of out-of-the-box movement classes taught at the academy. For the next three years as I learned to move expressively, I went through an excruciating journey of unearthing deeply buried feelings. I discovered that my feelings are woven into every cell of my body, and my way of avoiding them had been to move as little as possible. Since I couldn't maintain my old formula of no movement and at the same time train to be an actor, the old structure had to go. And so it did. It started shifting and collapsing, revealing some pretty painful inner layers.
These years in the academy (and later, acting) started my transformation. I became extremely passionate about movement and the healing expression that is possible through the body. The Gate of the Body is dedicated to understanding our body as an emotional, spiritual map - an exquisite guide of our personal history and our life lessons. Within the Gate of the Body, we explore ways of regaining aliveness, spontaneous flow, and truer expression. |

 Welcome to 2011!
Creating and planning your new year can be overwhelming. Your life has many facets; your mind, your body, relationships and your career, are all examples. Gates of Power® is designed to holistically energize the seven facets of your life.
Take time to evaluate the year that has passed-sweet memories, challenges, victories, and unfinished projects. As you say hello to 2011, acknowledge yourself for everything you have done, emotions you experienced, relationships that you deepened and good times that will remain in your memory. Think of all the new things you have learned and all the challenges you bravely faced. After you take it all in, breath and proceed with the exciting job of creating the next year of your life! --Nomi
