Opening and Clearing in the Body

Transformation brings liberation and new found happiness as our hearts open and we become more expressed from a deeper self inside. And as many have discovered, transformation also has us deeply aware of a whole lifetime of tensions, memories, and patterns we store in our physical bodies. This is the primary reason that physical bodywork, designed to assist the process of transformation, is so beneficial to the entire healing process – mind, emotions, body and spirit.

All of the bodywork offered at SoHA has a built-in awareness that is all about making the unconscious – conscious.

So how does the “unconscious” live in our bodies? It is stored as memories, neurological patterning, habitual reactivity, physical pain, aches and generally blocked energies (Qi). At times we refer to all of this in two main ways – stuck neurology, and stuck energies! The humor helps us to stay compassionate to ourselves and know that we are not stuck – our “system” is stuck. “Stuckness” is the normal result of a lifetime of experiencing, feeling, working, thinking, surviving, doing, etc.

On the physical-body level, neurological patterns may be expressed in the body as tension patterns. This tension, in the form of aches, pains and stiffness, is storing emotions, beliefs and memories. The good news is that they are ready (and asking) to be released. This is a natural movement and a complement to the work occurring in the transformation and evolution of awareness in the whole being.

There are so many ways our bodies have been stressed or compressed in this lifetime – even preverbal and childhood stress exists that we may not remember with our minds. The key is that the body is wise – and it has been working hard to survive and keep us safe. The body knows and remembers more than our minds – and so it is important to nurture and detoxify the body. As our awareness advances and unfolds, we have the opportunity to also clear the cells and neurology as well. This keeps a balance and flow to our growth!

The good news is that as the body unwinds, heals, opens and receives energy – our connection to our hearts and spirit may deepen even more. Conscious awareness is an embodied movement of generosity and flow from the clear, empowered “inner self”. The more relaxed and clear we are in our bodies, the more integrated our whole system becomes. This allows more receptivity and generosity to and from others.

It is possible to live a more liberated life of true contribution from the heart – and clearing the body is an important aspect of transformation. We encourage you to get excited about detoxing, nurturing, relaxing, stretching and totally un-contracting your fabulous bodies! Open to the flow of essence, the flow of life – care for and nurture your body!
