WHAT TO EXPECT....
The nature of each session and the manner in which each persons experience unfolds can be as varied and diverse as that of the unique inner world resting within the individual.
However there is a basis within all my work which supports the fortification of life force energy in the body and strengthens connection to the benevolent powers of our internal realms and the natural world. The wide range of tools I have acquired over many years of engaging in the healing arts each play a specific role in facilitating this work. During each session I respond instinctively to where attention is primarily needed and in what direction the trajectory of the process should follow.
This can include:
- Tracking through blind spots in the body in order to release trauma and repair emotional, psychological and energetic pathways.
- Bringing restoration and nourishment to places of depletion in the physical and energetic bodies.
- Releasing harmful or misplaced energies.
- Returning life essence that has been separated from the body, with the use of soul retrieval processes.
This work engages with the many layers of human experience.
THE ELEMENT OF SOUND:
Sound is a common thread within both my Soul retrieval and individual sessions. When appropriate I encourage the use of voice as a release tool or as an avenue of expression for unheard aspects of self. I use my own voice for invocation and allow medicinal songs to flow in and out during the session bringing with them currents of energy specific to the needs of the person on the table. During soul retrieval ceremonies I use the rhythmical vibration of rattles and song to induce an altered state of awareness in which I can journey in search of the clients lost soul parts. The use of the rattles also supports an experience of deepening into hidden parts of the self and can be used to shift solidified forms crystallised in the energetic body.
I find sound medicine to be a deeply effective and versatile method for healing which permeates into places where nothing else has been able to reach. Sound is able to bypass the brains mechanisms of defence, penetrating through the deepest layers of the body's holding patterns.
SOUL RETRIEVAL:
Soul retrieval is the ancient practice used to call back fragmented aspects of our life essence that have separated from us during challenging or traumatic experiences, See the Soul Retrieval link above to read more on this modality. Some people have a deeply profound experience of their soul parts returning during the session, whilst others report feeling significant shifts occurring in the days after. Commonly reported experiences include receiving a massive burst of renewed energy and creativity, alleviation of physical or emotional symptoms, feeling a deep sense of wholeness and no longer needing to search for something to fulfill a sense of lack, literally seeing the world differently, more vibrant colors etc., feeling significantly more grounded and present within the body, a completely redefined experience of what it means to be connected to the earth.
THE PHYSICAL:
The gentle hands on movement applied in vibrational bodywork acts as a supportive foundation for the unfolding of the session. This wave like rocking motion deeply calms the nervous system which allows for the body's natural restorative and balancing mechanisms to come into action. The physical movement stimulates the healing fluids in the body and begins to dislodge toxic build up in the system, acting as a gentle detoxification. The heart rate slows and the brainwave frequency drops into a theta state of consciousness associated with deep relaxation and trance states. Being taken into this deeply relaxed and nurturing place is a blissful visceral experience and the unravelling that takes place here creates a receptivity from which to unearth and explore the depths of our own inner workings.
THE EMOTIONAL:
The stories and memories we hold within our bodies often begin to awaken during this process rising up to the surface in the form of strong or subtle emotions, physical sensations, images and visions or even smells. Each person's experience and conscious awareness of this process varies greatly, some travel on epic visual or sensorial journeys through stories filled with metaphor and meaning, others remain in a gentle womb like capsule present to the nurturing movement and sound which holds and supports them as they enter into a deep and restful place within themselves.
Throughout the session I encourage each person to work actively with their experience of cellular memory by maintaining body awareness as the bridge and key to remaining connected to the feeling body.
THE PSYCHE :
The vibrational quality of the movement and sound instigates a loosening of tightly held control mechanisms, which in turn enables an unveiling of the deeper layers of the sub-conscious. To facilitate a bridge between the visceral and the cerebral I use body focused dialogue therapy and inner journey techniques, which give voice and cognitive recognition to felt experience. In these deep spaces we can begin to explore the wilderness of the soul, coming into compassionate contact with unexplored parts of the self, which engenders an integration and re-balancing within the psyche.
