Body Centered Healing




The Breath

Breathe Into Healing
There is a power in breathing that no thinking or talking can match. Breathing into healing heightens ones capacity for healing the mind, the heart and the spirit in a way that uplifts you, renews you, and cleanses you. The description of writing on this subject is hard to understand without experiencing first hand what the effects of intense breathing can offer.

Breathing is not the only form of healing the mind and heart that I offer, however, it is one I practice most, and share most out of anything else in my work. The breath creates miracles, and because intentional breathing that is controlled, focused, and disciplined in a specific pattern is still uncommon in our culture, it is still considered rare, unheard of and its benefits are unknown. However, the breath is as a natural as a baby resting in its mothers belly, but intentional breathing to release blocks in the mind and body is a miraculous transformational tool that harnesses our deepest powers and gives us access to the pure innocence in our hearts.



Breathwork

Sometimes when the situation you are dealing with is very intense, has a lot of emotion to it, or has a pattern where it has either been going on for a very long time, or has been affecting you in your life in unpleasant ways, I will suggest we do a Breathwork Session.  A Breathwork Session is a session where I will set up a very cozy and comfortable position on the floor for you, and you will lye down on a thick mat with blankets and pillows that suit your comfort level. I will guide you in breathing a deep continuous flow of breath with no pauses in between the breaths. The breathing exercise is a very intense breath that can sometimes cause one to feel dehydrated, but the positive impact of the session can awaken feelings stored deep inside to bring them up and out where they will no longer affect your life. The Breathing Session can also leave you feeling euphoric and blissful. It will help you open channels in your energy system where you get in touch with where in your body you are blocked and we will work together to clear these blocks so you can come back into harmony, health and full body peace!


Therapeutic Bodywork 

Shiatsu Massage

5 Element Shiatsu
5 Element Shiatsu is a method of finding balance within your body through harmonizing the element or elements that are imbalanced. The elements are earth, air, fire, water and metal. In 5 Element Shiatsu, we learn the cycles of change in life, and the cycles that our bodies need to go through in every stage; fall, winter, spring, and summer. Everything has it's cycle and everything changes. We learn that our bodies represent the changes we go through in every day of our life, and how we can always come back to center and take the steps needed to come around the full circle and cycle of every step we take, every stage and season we are in. As we allow our bodies to re-open and breathe through these changes in our lives, we can open and expand our bodies, so our mind, heart, body and spirit can be at peace once again. This is where we can then find peace within, and know stillness and love for life by allowing our bodies to come into harmony with each cycle and each change.

5 Element Shiatsu is a gentle, sometimes deep and profound healing massage session. It can allow ourselves to feel our wholeness, as well as get in touch with the subtle energies within us and around us. 5 Element Shiatsu works on pressure points along meridians and help to clear the passageways so that the chi, or energy in our bodies and energy system can flow openly and smoothly once again.


Zen Shiatsu
Zen Shiatsu is an uplifting, enlightening and full body awakening through connecting the body to the source of who you are. Zen Shiatsu is giving yourself a gift of deep relaxation and joy in your body once again. It allows one to feel gratefulness for life and to love your own body in a way you've never loved it or appreciated it before. You can feel what the meaning of pleasure is with Zen Shiatsu. A lot of deep healing can happen in Zen Shiatsu and if you are feeling disconnected from life, from your body, or have a great deal of stress, Zen Shiatsu can do wonders!

The technique is a deep pressure, as well as soft and leaves you feeling relaxed and filled with joy. see also www.shiatsubo.com



Thai Yoga Massage

The massage of guided and supported yoga stretching and full body opening. Thai Yoga Massage forces one to be in their body and be in their breath. Thai Yoga Massage is almost like a tantra experience because the depth you get in touch with yourself while receiving the massage is deeper than any other massage you could receive. The feeling of opening in the muscle tissue puts one at a place of surrendering to what is and going deeper into the sensation so that one can let go and release into the pleasure.
 


Jin Shin Do Bodymind Acupressure

~Allowing yourself to feel the emotions your body is telling you~
JSD is a method of bodywork created by a Psychotherapist to allow the emotions to come to the surface that the pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, or tightness is telling you. JSD creates the deepest feelings of peace, calm and bliss than you could ever imagine. You can easily go into a deep meditative state, have a blissful etheric connection to spirit, or have a huge revelation about an issue you've been struggling with in your life, by going deep inside yourself to find the root cause that is creating the imbalance, misalignment, pain or block in your life. You can get to the root of problems that you never knew you even had. You can find yourself again with Jin Shin Do. You can find your soul, your heart, and your truth. If you have never experienced a full hour or hour and 1/2 session of JSD, I highly recommend you try it.  It could change your life, and only for the better!  www.jinshindo.org and www.bodymindeast.com
