INSTRUCTOR Joanne Figov often tells her students it was intuition and destiny which led her to Bowen. It seems destiny also had a part to play as she celebrates the publication of a new book in which she explains how intuition has enhanced her life and career.
It was thanks to a chance meeting two years ago which led to an invitation to contribute a chapter to ‘The Intuitive Entrepreneur: Deeper Connections to Soul-Driven Success’ now available on Amazon.
She told us: “I was attending a lecture on psychic studies when one of the attendees was feeling unwell, a combination of physical and emotional discomfort. While she was sitting in her chair, I carried out some Bowen moves to shoulders, back and neck which had a dramatic effect. She was astonished; we talked some more and a year later she messaged me to ask if I would like to be included in her book. It was an easy decision to say yes!”
Timing is everything as we know – destiny again playing a part – as Joanne had previously made a start on writing a book of her own during the Covid lockdown.
Referring to her original notes and working at weekends, often in longhand, Joanne met the various deadlines and is now a proud published author.
The collaborative book features 22 contributors, each sharing their own experience of intuition and its impact on their life and work.
“Intuition is an integral part of Bowen, yet this isn’t highlighted enough in my opinion,” says Joanne. “Intuition and energy are the flip side of the mechanical anatomy-based teaching with which we are so familiar. While that is important, and essential, there is an untapped energetic/intuitive side which is just as important and these days it is coming to the fore more and more. The world is ready for it.
“It has been a real privilege to be a tutor for Bowtech and to have travelled the world teaching this amazing technique, meeting and learning from some amazing people who have been generous with their time and hospitality.
“Intuition and destiny led me to Bowen and I’m sure many of our colleagues feel the same. As nervous system regulation and the vagus nerve become the trend these days, I smile when I think that with Bowen, we have been doing that for the last 30 years or more.”
Joanne’s chapter in the book ‘Golden Light Healing: Getting to the Root Cause of all your Pain’ is a personal story of her early life, how she entered the world of healing and some of the interesting moments along the way. It’s a fascinating journey… including a dream which proved to be truly prophetic!
