Training

Being a teacher for over 40 years, I am able to recognize the great qualities of pedagogy and the professionalism of Ulrich. He has the gift of transmitting his passion through his dynamic teachings. He has a lot of knowledge that he shares with us for our greatest joy. Practical exercises, meditations, and even dancing enhance the theoretical part. I have acquired new tools that are a complement to my energy treatments. My clients have noticed and appreciate it. All my gratitude Ulrich.

I felt that I lived in my head my whole life, detached from my body. The training taught me to reconnect with my body, to feel my emotions, to observe and to manage them better. Learning to truly love and accept my body as part of me, I returned to complete.

In all the professional trainings that I took, it's with Ulrich Freitag's body-mind oriented training that I went in at the deepest level to liberate my repressed emotions.

This training in bodymind intelligence with Ulrich in India has changed my life. I had health problems which gradually deteriorated since 5 years, leaving me with the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis in the last year. During the trip to India and during the training, several sessions have allowed me to release deep inner pain and left me lighter. Ulrich thank you for your professionalism and your reassuring presence during these sessions. Your concern for what the recipient lives and the person giving has meant that I had confidence to allow me to externalize what should be. During this trip my bleeding stopped, and I'm in remission. I'm back since five months and the bleedings are still absent.

This training was an opportunity to grow. In Such a short period of time So Many answers the for each one of us - an emotional workout. Just looking how Ulrich was working, Just That, was a growing, integral experience. It was so beautiful to see him synchronizing, timing with the other person.

Training has changed my way of being and working. Everything is done with more creativity, simplicity and love. My clients also benefit: they develop a better understanding of their bodies and their tensions, they relax more deeply and become more aware of their "inner world". For my part, I work less hard to get to release more tension.
M.P. Comtois
Massage therapist
Effects of training : I tasted the pleasure of meditating, healing, dancing, communing with nature, various forms of expression. It is this openness to experience the "living" that I now propose to my social work students. But most of all, learning an infinitely respectful intimate contact with suffering touched deep within me the sacredness of human life. Effects of the psychophysical work: I did individual work with Ulrich. I do not know a therapist who can go as deep to encounter the suffering with so much compassion and inner strength. I lived a renaissance. My rib cage, stiff as concrete has regained its flexibility and I the pleasure of breathing.

The training in Body-Mind Oriented Psychotherapy has allowed me to erradicate physical, energetic and emotional tension, and has brought much awareness on how and why those tensions are generated, and how I can prevent them. I can use the experience and knowledge that I gained in this training for myself, but also for my family, my students, my friends and my colleagues.

...I 've never seen results as surprising, efficient and instantaneous. People come with localized pain, with, in some cases, consulted with many other specialists. They leave after an initial one-hour session without any pain relief still 70% to 90%!

Dear Ulrich, Here I am, 4 days down the road (after the Heart training), still feeling the magic. I mean, I can still feel the peace and calmness that took over in my life thanks to you and your workshop. You gave me a chance not only to understand, but to directly experience the effect of the Bodymind Intelligence. I love the fact I can immediately start using everything you talked about and taught us. Every day is nicer, brighter, more relaxed and joyful for me. I feel I can connect to my heart and to drink from the bottomless well of its wisdom and love. Everything you said makes perfect sense to me. It really is hard to feel good, relaxed and happy in a tense body! You gave me a simple guide for every day tension-release-moments. The effects of that and of the heart meditation are amazingly tangible. I heard the instruction “connect with your heart” before, but you were the first person to actually give me simple guidance to really get there and to “host” my own heart. You say “It is the intelligence of the heart leading you now. We all have that...” You teach how to catch the fish instead of giving fish to the hungry ones. You gave me a wonderful gift of feeling I can help and support and heal and calm myself (and others) by being in deep contact with my heart and my body. I admire and appreciate the structure, the methodology, of the workshop. You go from simple to more complex, from physical to psychological, from more general to personal and intimate... You give just the right amount of information and plenty of room for practice and direct experience. You make sure the sharing is effective and not tiresome. You talk to the point and share stories just enough to illustrate your point but not to take up too much time. The timing and rhythm of the workshop are perfect. Physical, emotional, spiritual aspects take turns and dance together in a beautiful harmony. You listen carefully to everyone and appreciate each and every person in the room. You get moved and touched but still make sure everything runs smoothly. I cannot imagine workshop-time spent in a more effective, pleasant, enriching and heart warming way. I could go on like this for quite a while, Ulrich. I mean every word I wrote and I need to go to bed now. I am profoundly grateful for meeting you and having a chance to learn from you.

Testimonials 2025

Ulrich, our guide is very attentive to the needs of the group and each individual. His love for India is contagious and his practical knowledge is very reassuring. He helped us to taste, see and feel India by sharing his, passion for the country.... He has mastered the art of teaching meditation. With the help of clear guidance and inspiring images, he allowed us to experiment many different ways to get into the space of meditation. The program of activities (meditations, workshops, dance etc.) were of rare quality and allows everybody to confront themselves with their own challenges. It is truly a place of healing, expression and celebration that touched me profoundly! It was a wonderful journey to the end of the world and oneself.

This travel to India allowed me to be initiated in different meditation techniques, to get in contact with my heart and to develop more consciousness. Particularly I appreciated the guided meditations, the proposed tours, while still having time off during the day. Our host In the place where we stayed in Goa was fantastic, the food was excellent and the sea was exquisite. I maintain a very positive memory of this journey.

One says sometimes that dreams are more beautiful than the reality, but, concerning my travel to India the reality went beyond the most beautiful of my dreams. One has to say that for the first two weeks we had the privilege to be guided by Ulrich, an experienced and solid guide. The presence of the guide helped me to discover in security the customs of the native people and to learn about the daily life of the Indians. I particularly appreciated the depth of our daily group meditations as well as the activities which were chosen by our guide. The organisation and the guidance during these two weeks allowed me to develop enough autonomy to feel at ease to extend my journey for three other weeks and to taste the pleasures of being in India.

Intelligence of the Heart

I had a painful back since long, I was quite amazed to see how he could exactly tell, with eyes closed, the areas of my body where the energy was blocked. By the completion of the session my whole being was pulsating with fresh and renewed energy. It was as if my whole body came alive after many-many years and I could feel myself totally vibrant inside-out. And I'm so very grateful, it's not quite possible to tell you how much

In the psychic reading about my mother, eyes closed, though I've not told him before, Ulrich touched my shoulders, exactly where I had pain for several months. The pain was gone and I had a lot of awareness. This session really healed me.

Dear Ulrich, I hope this email finds you well. I am finally sending you my feedback on your Healing Power of our Hearts seminar... I am currently in France and in light of the events that took place in Paris last night, I cannot stop thinking about our weekend seminar and the fact that if more people could learn to follow meditation with a connection to their hearts, the world may be a better place with fewer wars and murders. I am still amazed by the beautiful and peaceful feeling when I am connected to my heart. This strong feeling that we are all part of one unity and that there is no difference between us, has generated in me a sense of relief and freedom. Thank you for allowing me to have this experience and for introducing me to this meditation, because connecting with my heart is definitely the path I want to follow...

A child, the Heart Meditation… and a happy mum. I took my time to watch my youngest daughter (3 years old) and really, it was not my wishful thinking. She requires the heart meditation every evening before going to sleep. It has been over a month now since I have learned the Heart meditation from You and offered it to my family. After I introduced the heart meditation to my children, they immediately knew the formula (I am connecting with my heart...) by heart and wanted to use it every evening. Of course I have no scientific proof for it, but it seems to me that they have been healthier - stronger and quicker in fighting the usual autumn colds - and even more relaxed and joyful in their every day lives. It is SO beautiful, touching and cute to hear even the little one describing the place, where she feels good and safe and then, after a while, telling me," I think I am going to put my hands down now and I am going to sleep." And almost every night she sleeps like a log. I cannot even begin to tell you how wonderful it is for me as a devoted mum to be able to share something as precious as your teaching with my beloved children. Every evening I have the priceless chance to whisper to them about the Calm, Quiet, Love, Light, Eterninty....Thank You, Ulrich, for entering our lives!!!

I had tried quite a few therapies before being advised to consult Ulrich Freitag. To my great astonishment, there was a considerable relief from the first consultation, and it continued to improve since.

Experiencing constant chronic pain over the last 3 years following an infection with the C-difficile bacteria, I received dozens of treatments: Acupuncture, Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Massage therapy ... I have done several medical procedures and even had an infiltration, nothing really helped. After only 3 treatments based on the approach of Bodymind Intelligence and the Basic Training, I can affirm that this approach is the most powerful and the most effective that I have experienced to obtain a deep and lasting relief and to finally heal! I freed myself at the same time of a lot of emotions linked to events of the past and an anxiety that has inhabited me for a long time. I find the pleasure 'live in' my body, my hips again and I feel a deep gratitude to feel alive!! I wholeheartedly wish to those affected by pain or to those who simply aspire to a well-being to experience the benefits and power of this approach of Bodymind Intelligence.
Chantal Gohier
Fascinating discovery this ability to work with bodymind therapy and psychic reading through the intuitive intelligence of the heart! I was impressed with their accuracies! I understood the source of some injuries and I realized that we all have this potential synchronicity with each other, the potential to help each other.
Marie B.
Programmer
In one sentence: that course was very important for me in my life. Thank you….But the most important thing that all modern medical doctors –and all other people- should know are the heart connection ‘techniques’ you gave. This is the first thing that a doctor got to do seeing his patient. The heart connection and meditation is a simple way to get much more depth and power out of every interaction between doctor and patient, including surgery, which I tried also!

I strongly encourage everyone to do this training of the intuitive intelligence of the heart,It really is amazing all the benefits with healing it brings and it simply comes from the heart. This is an accessible to everyone and above all is the simplicity and purity of it. As a therapist, it will become natural to connect with my heart and the results it will bring. This is wouahhh!

We talk about wholeness. But for me, it was the experience of being one with another human being and how one can have synchronicity.

I tried acupuncture, osteopathy and many other techniques for my headaches. But the treatments with Ulrich Freitag's Body-Mind Oriented Psychotherapy have been of a much greater help.
G.M.
Thank you, Ulrich, for the psychic reading! I felt the direct connection from heart to heart. This reading has helped me to see more clearly situations of the past. Seeing and understanding a wound of my childhood with the eyes of the heart changes my vision today and I find much more lightness in me!
Momique Breault
In more than 30 years I see several specialists, dozens .... and slowly I lost hope, trust in me. With only 4 treatments I feel clearly hope and wellness. My condition improved more than 50% even after a few weeks. Thank you life, thank you Ulrich.

The soundness of his body-mind oriented approach has allowed me to solve successfully, a problem that had been persistent for many years. I have a better grasp on the causes, and at last, I regained my health and well-being.

Excerpt from Chapter 1

The Eternal Wisdom of India

When people in the West seek for the deeper meaning to Life, they make the mistake of assuming all religions are some variation of Christianity. 
But the spiritual Traditions that come from India are drastically different to Judaism, 
Christianity and Islam in how they practice, yet there is a common substratum that
underpins them all. 
 
The most common assumption is that religious people believe in God. 
Belief means to put your faith in something you don’t know is true.
If I ask you “do you believe the Sun exists?”
You will reply, “no! It is more than that!  
I see it everyday and feel its warmth!”
 
The Indian traditions speak of something INTRINSIC to you and help you discover and experience this. 
Yogis are not believers!  
They are seeking an experience of the Divine.
They aspire to become KNOWERS of the deepest Truth of Life.  
They know there is no God in the sky.
 
That is why I call it a wisdom tradition …. there are layers and layers to this, which may reveal themselves to you when you are sincerely seeking.  
It is an organic, flowing, living river of wisdom, of seekers and finders, and of great Souls who have reached God realisation and left a message for us. 
 
This is an experience of Life that is available to every human being, whether you are an atheist, a religious person, or simply on your own personal spiritual path. 
 
You don’t have to believe anything.
You just have to see a different way of looking at life.
 
“God is the beauty and force of Life itself.
God is Mother Nature.
I am born from Mother Nature.
Mother Nature is my Mother.
God is my Mother.
Life literally physically gives birth to us.
We are made of the five elements.  Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and Space.
When we breathe, we breathe life in …. and out …. 
The Whole Universe is connected to itself.
The more we realise our connection, the less problems we experience in Life.
Differences between races and religions fall away as we realise we are all just different versions of Life – in different shapes and form and sizes.
With this way of life, we and GOD are connected.
God is no longer a man with a white beard in the sky!”
– Satpal Singh on explaining the wisdom traditions of India.
 
A deep reverence for life takes hold, when we realise that all living things have this same God force making them alive.  
With this way of looking at life, we become protectors of Life and Mother Nature. 
That is why we stop praying and start praising.  
 
It’s about spending your whole life in appreciation for what life is.
