List of Modalities/Techniques
IntroductionLike many powerful healing
and transformational tools, body-oriented techniques focus on reconnecting,
embracing and integrating all aspects of ourselves. These aspects include
physical experiences (e.g., chronic disease), psychological/emotional
experiences (some of which may not be fully resolved), and possibly energetic or
spiritual experiences. Such a process, while difficult on occassion, can be
tremendously healing.
Body-oriented healing and
transformation techniques primarily use experiences in the body as a way to
begin the reconnecting, embracing, and integration process. The movement of
energy and the experience of emotions can play a very important role, but
experiences in the body, and its structure & movement are a common starting
point for the processes.
Benefits
Physical and
psychological healing benefits can be significant. This is nothing like looking
for a supplement or herb to heal disease "x", but rather a process that can help
promote deep "to the core" healing (especially when used in conjunction with
other Holistic Healing
Fundamentals). But like most things in the world, such a process is not for
everybody. It is a process, and as such, there will be times of significant
change as well as some times of uneven change/healing or frustration. Persons
with a deep desire to heal or transform and with at least a small sense of
adventure are best suited to this process.
General Tips
Working with a
practitioner/teacher on a semi-regular basis and attending workshops whenever
possible is the best way to pursue these healing and transformational processes
(if onsite, intensive programs are not possible). While individual sessions can
be very healing, emersing oneself regularly in the processes can help keep the
healing and transformation process moving.
Other Considerations
For a period of
time, I was able to come up with regular excuses as to why I couldn't pursue the
body-oriented healing and transformational process in more depth. Some of the
excuses were actually very good excuses! However, one I experienced the benefit,
I internalized my intent to pursue this process. After that, the excuses I had
became much less important and I found ways to attend classes, sessions, and
workshops. Others have gone through similar stages.
