The golden circle – A cognitive-experiential tool integrating body and mind for change, regulation, and recovery
Abstract
As a certified physiotherapist for more than 40 years, and former elite athlete for the last 25 years, I developed The Golden Circle – a unique therapeutic tool that integrates physiological and psychological principles to support behavior change, emotional regulation, and cognitive transformation. The tool was investigated, and its methods and results were published in 2023*
This tool combines cognitive processes with bodily sensation (body awareness), activation of the senses, intuitive writing, and reflective practices such as metacognition (thinking about thinking), ritual, personal responsibility, and hope. It is designed to bring unconscious material into conscious awareness, enabling meaningful shifts in decision-making, perception, sensory regulation, and emotional behavior.
The Golden Circle also served me personally during my 20 years representing Israel in international lawn bowls, where it enhanced my mental focus and performance, including winning a bronze medal at the World Championship in New Zealand.
The workshop introduces a practical, integrative model for health professions, sports coaches, educators, and others interested in combining cognitive and sensory approaches to support personal growth and transformation.
In the workshop you will learn and practice how to use a tool called the Golden Circle. During the workshop you will experience through introspection of your body, mind, emotions and thoughts so that in the future you can use this tool for your patients or anyone else who wants change. In the workshop you will receive a sheet of paper size A4 on which each person individually will have to perform the Golden Circle.
