How does Pantarei help me feel more confident?

Do you know that feeling that everyone around you seems so confident while your head is full of doubts, questions, and insecurity? Many of us share the wish to feel more confident; to be clearer about our decisions and actions. We have an illusion that we should take a few magical steps to feel more confident. And that these steps are tangible and come with a formula. Is this also the message that you’ve received?

The feeling of confidence is a desirable state, and perhaps even more so nowadays when uncertainty is present all around. Although confidence comes from within, it is also connected to our surroundings. And when everything is so shaken, and it is challenging to plan and lead our lives as we would like, it is even more important to feel a strong sense of confidence from within.

The experience of confidence

What does it mean to feel more confident? In the Pantarei world, the answer to that is very subjective. It might be that what you would relate to as a feeling of confidence is very different from how the person next to you would describe it. Ask yourself: “When do I feel confident? And how does it feel in that moment?”

You probably know that you feel more confident on some days than on others. You recognize that some situations feel safer than others. However, when you start observing your life through the filter of confidence, you soon realize that confidence is not ‘one’ experience. We can feel confident and confused at the same time. We can even feel confident and insecure at the same time. The way in which you feel confident when you are talking to a close friend is different from how it feels when you are talking to a stranger.

When you feel confident, however, you feel that you can trust yourself and life. You feel that you can handle the situation that you are facing, and any difficulty can turn into an interesting challenge.

Confidence and emotions

Confidence has a lot to do with your ability to own your emotions and feel comfortable with who you are. When you allow yourself to be confident, you might still have no idea what your next step in life should be. However, the idea is to find a path while giving space to your emotions and keeping your strength.

When Pantarei practitioners give sessions, they support their clients to hold space for their feelings. They want to strengthen their clients by helping them realize their unique qualities and their unique path.

The basic concept is that we know that all the answers to your life exist within you. The goal of the practitioner is to listen to you, beyond what you say in words, in order to explore your unique way of handling the challenges you face.

Touch and confidence

We are currently teaching an advanced course for certified practitioners, in our new Pantarei school in Berlin. As for Covid, it is the first advanced hands-on course we have been able to teach in the past 14 months. And we’re sure you can just imagine how excited and happy we were to meet up with practitioners who on this three-day course.

While the topic of this course is not related to the subject of confidence, this theme naturally emerged. We have been able to witness how our practitioners have gained confidence over the last few days and how their ‘clients’ have therefore been able to tap into their strengths and gain greater access to their resources.

One of the most outstanding ways in which we could witness this increase in confidence was in how the practitioners used their gift of touch. I experienced it myself and was, certainly not for the first time, surprised by the positive impact that touch had on my own ability to feel confident.

 

How does it happen?

It was a ten-minute exercise in class. Claudia asked the group to arrange themselves in pairs. One was the client, and one was the practitioner. I was lucky enough to pair up with Merav. I lay on the massage table, and Merav touched my neck, head, and face. The instructions to the practitioners were: “Communicate with your hands, stay in one place, just feel your clients and listen to what their body is saying to you”. Claudia emphasized that the practitioners should be attentive to not perform a technique but rather use their hands to communicate.

Merav’s hands were a gift. Through her touch, my head became more physical and present. My eyes could relax, and my muscles started to feel more energized. But something way more interesting happened. I began to connect to my trust and confidence. I felt excited about 2022 and all the adventures it holds for me. There wasn’t any doubt left about my next steps and, even more importantly, about my life’s intention.
Merav’s hands allowed me to feel more present, connected to the knowledge I had within. I realized that I knew what I wanted to do, where my love is, and what I wanted to let go of.

Try it out

Have you ever received a session of the Pantarei Approach from one of the talented practitioners? We wholeheartedly recommend booking a session. Connect to your core, your heart, your body, and through that, to your confidence, which is essential at any given time. This is especially the case when there is so much insecurity around us, and human touch feels less natural.

Let your practitioner see you and notice your strengths and struggles. Allow your practitioner to place their hands on your body and directly communicate with all that wisdom you carry. Let their hands remind you of your wishes and dreams; to reawaken your confidence and allow you to connect to your unique path in life.

 

Your unique path

Your practitioner knows that your confidence doesn’t have to feel like anybody else’s. When you trust yourself and life, you connect to your truth and your inner compass. Your practitioner will explore your unique path with you; a path of confidence and trust, even if it also contains insecurity and confusion.

Look for a practitioner near you, contact them today, and get in touch with your confidence, so you can reach whatever goals you have for 2022. Let’s make this year special. Let’s make it a year in which to express our nature, our values, and our truth.
