Body Memories Seesion

By listening to the body and following each person's own unique path to healing, Body Memories allows the body to unwind, relax, and release past traumas, no matter what their origins or symptoms might be. When compressions and restrictions are removed from our bodies, so are the limitations that were placed there. With these releases, the body comes into the present moment, and we experience more movement, freedom, vitality, and power— -- the power to make real the dreams that our limitations had held us from.

Our bodies are living, moving, and breathing storehouses of all of our life's experiences on all levels. Physical and mental traumas, judgments and limitations, stress, and suppressed emotions compress our tissues and musculature, limiting our healing potential and the realization of our dreams. Our minds may choose not to remember past traumas, but our bodies never forget, and our bodies do not lie. Body Memories honors and celebrates these truths of the body.

Why will you enjoy 10 Sessions with a Body Memories practitioner?

In the first couple of sessions you will familiarize yourself with the techniques and start to get comfortable with the “Body Memories.” Sand sometimes it isn’t until around session five or six that people really start having their most powerful experiences. One session is great to help relieve physical pain but ten sessions is rerecommended ally needed to makehave permanent change. That is whyay this is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself is private sessions with a skilled Body Memories Practitioner. This is truly a chance to transform your life and nurture yourself in a safe, gentle and uplifting environment. Under the support and guidance of a trained professional you can address any issues from physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.

Body Memories sessions begin with a consultation with your Body Memories Practitioner. In the first session, your practitioner will explain the philosophy and techniques of Body Memories and answer any questions. We will explore what you want to accomplish, discuss the sessions involved and explain the process. 

Recognizing that the body comes fully equipped to heal itself, and that all of us have amazing untapped potential to achieve our dreams and desires; Body Memories uses the physical body as the pathway to healing and success. At the beginning of each session the Practitioner will help you explore what you are experiencing in your body and educate you about possibilities to support you in accomplishing your desired results. This process will involve having you either walking or standing in front of a mirror. As you do one of these activities you will be guided to discover where your body holds resistance to your healing or your success. You and the Practitioner will agree on a strategy for removing these blocks. 

Now you are ready to begin the bodywork section of the session. It usually lasts around one hour, but the length is based on achieving the releases desired in the body, as it is a process. During this time you will lay down fully clothed, except for your shoes, on a comfortable massage table while the practitioner begins addressing the constricted areas of the body with the gentle, non-invasive techniques of Body Memories . 

One of the unique things about Body Memories is that the Practitioner is trained to follow the natural flow of your body, to support it in choosing to let go of any blocks rather than adjusting or manipulating the body to achieve a prescribed release. It is not a form of massage, palpation, stimulation or triggering to create a result but rather a process of honoring the body’s innate wisdom to unravel the complex combination of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual components creating the block in the first place. This is all accomplished by carefully and skillfully listening to the subtle movements and messages of the body. As these messages are received and completed, the body will let go of the restrictions, which will allow for healing or achieving the desired goal. When the bodywork is complete there will be a period of exploration and discussion with the Body Memories practitioner to see if the agreed upon goals have been met. The practitioner may then give you homework to work on before the next session, and you will end by scheduling the date and time of the next session. 

For Body Memories work, beginning clients  have 10 sessions.  While one session can often be very effective at releasing a symptom or superficial pains, it requires a more serious time commitment for you to understand how your pain got there and to ensure that it will not return. Each session is a chance for you to reconnect with yourself again, allowing you to relax, remove the emotional blocks and expand in your life. With each session you'll gain more tools to accept yourself in an expanded state of consciousness and regain your body’s natural fluidity, health and untapped potential. Often habits and unwanted behavior that have accumulated over the years must be identified and changed. Without addressing these habits and integrating the new learning, you can find yourself recreating old problems.

A second reason for a series of 10 sessions is that Body Memories work has a cumulative effect. As one restriction is released it changes the entire balance of your body’s system and other constrictions and blocks that weren’t readily apparent before, begin to emerge. As the Practitioner becomes familiar with you, they frequently find other restrictions that were being covered up by the obvious symptoms of the first visit. The practitioner will guide you to see patterns that get in your way of being fully alive and healthy. 

Finally, after having completed your ten sessions with a practitioner, you will have deepened your experience of Body Memories  and will be able to use some of the tools on your own. This can be very helpful in keeping yourself balanced in daily life.
