Two Awarenesses is a technique of the Paret Method in the hieratic-hermetic methods category that integrates two simultaneous levels of awareness to resolve psychosomatic symptoms and unconscious blocks through non-verbal recognition and amplification.
Definition
The Two Awarenesses technique is based on the principle that every bodily and psychological experience has two complementary aspects: a primary awareness (what the person consciously recognizes) and a secondary awareness (the movements, reactions, and unconscious processes that accompany the primary experience). The goal is to bring about integrated awareness and conscious interaction between both realities, allowing the symptom or block to unfold naturally until its spontaneous resolution.
When to use
- Psychosomatic symptoms that have dissociated conscious and unconscious components
- Repetitive, embarrassing, or difficult-to-consciously-understand secondary movements
- Energy blocks and chronic muscle tension with psychological correlates
- Situations where integrating two opposing realities is necessary for natural change [to be confirmed by Marco]
Components and steps
- Identify the primary awareness: recognize what the person consciously knows and feels about the symptom or experience
- Recognize the secondary awareness: observe unconscious movements, micro-expressions, repetitive behaviors that are incomplete or that the person ignores
- Amplify non-verbally: progressively increase what is observed in the secondary process without interpreting it
- Work with the communication channel: follow the energy flow and allow it to teach (expansion of attention)
- Integrate both realities: foster conscious interaction between the two aspects until the natural resolution of the symptom
Distinctions
- vs historical Process Work: the Paret method applies Mindell's principles within a hierarchical and mesmeric logic, with emphasis on non-verbality and energetic amplification as primary factors
- vs traditional verbal techniques: Two Awarenesses does not interpret or rationalize; it silently amplifies and allows the body-mind to self-regulate

Notes
- Person's embarrassment: secondary movements often generate conscious embarrassment; non-verbal amplification bypasses this defense mechanism
- Incomplete movement: secondary movements tend to repeat and not complete themselves; the space provided by the operator allows for natural completion
- Difference from verbal amplification: in Two Awarenesses, amplification is non-verbal and phenomenological, not interpretive
