Philosophy
Touching the body is also an act of touching the mind and spirit. We are engaging in a conversation with the lived story of Soul when we listen with the compassionate presence of heart and hands.
The story that is contained in each atom and cell that composes the physical form, holds within it a history of experience.
The body remembers what the mind is seemingly able to forget.
The stories that we carry within us are written by our experience of life. Influenced by familial, cultural, societal and ancestral inheritance, the inherited conditioning’s and patterns created impact our experience of ourselves and our perceptions of reality.
From the most dense to the subtlest form, all-that-is contains a living expression of consciousness.
When engaging with the body-mind, with present awareness and allowance for what is, we are able to assist the process of transformation within oneself. Doing so, the experience of Life begins to change. What was once a ‘pain’ becomes an integrated part of ourselves, an accepted part of our lived story. As a result, Life is enhanced.
Life is a process. Healing is an expression of Life.
Our bodies and beings are expressions of Nature. Within Nature is an innate force of healing that supports the evolutionary process that is continuously underway.
Sickness, suffering, pain and death are all expressions of the human condition, of human nature and life on earth. These expressions of life can act as our greatest teachers.
Connection is Key.
When we disconnect from life experiences as a means of self preservation we also disconnect from aspects of ourselves and of Nature. Healing is a process of returning to a unified, connected and embodied Self. A return to integrity of self invites the wholeness of being to return to its rightful place in relationship with Nature.
