PRINCIPLES OF ALCHEMICAL BODYWORK
Strengthen the mind-body connection and incarnate fully into your physical form as you get back ‘in touch’ with yourself and expand into a feeling of grounded energetic vitality
You are in charge of the session and guide me as to how deep to go while we look for the threshold of gentle release
I follow your body's indications as to where to touch
As you bring your awareness into corners of the body that have become dark or 'dusty' from lack of connection I will guide you to take a deep breathe and visualize expanding life into tissues once more - a type of physical and energetic spring cleaning!
Making sensitive contact with areas of chronic pain in this way allows the possibility of gradual release
Understand sustained muscle tensions as a form of energetic and physical protection and be curious and open to any messages around your psychological patterns that may await you in your body, ready to enter into your awareness
Trauma on all levels can create unresolved emotional issues. E-motions (or 'energies in motion') may become 'held' by the subconscious in areas of the body. As energies are released from tense tissue, it can be that you experience an emotional release. If so, I hold a respectful and compassionate space and am there to support you as you need
'Holding on' takes up a lot of our life force on a daily basis. Free yourself from the survival mechanisms of past realities and any accompanying rigidity within tough tissues as we look for the safety to surrender to a feeling of aliveness in the body - with the ability to allow the full spectrum of life experience encompassing pleasure, pain, joy and sorrow
