The Hakomi Method, developed by Ron Kurtz, is based on five therapeutic principles - Mindfulness, Organicity, Non-Violence, the Mind-Body Connection, and Unity - which give rich meaning and a spiritual dimension to the work.

It is a mindfulness-based, experiential, body-centered psychotherapy. It uses theThe body's structures and habitual patterns as a powerful doorway into unconscious core material. Hidden beliefs which shape our lives and relationships are allowed to surface safely into consciousness. Once in the conscious, these beliefs can be directly reevaulated and if necessary, powerfully transformed to bring about a more effective and satisfying life.
