Bodywork also known as Body Transformation

What is Body Transformation?

The body remembers everything that we have ever experienced. All of our joy and all of our pain is remembered and unconsciously stored in the body's organic mind. Where we have not been able to release or resolve stress, we internalise it. The memory of these experiences can crystallise in the tissue in many ways such as muscular tightness, body pains and inhibited breathing.

These body memories, that are often outside our awareness, influence our thinking, emotions, behaviour. They limit our capacity to give and receive love, to trust in our own judgement, to easily step into new situations and to take up new projects.

The Benefits

Body Transformation is of benefit to every body. It can be seen as part of one's health management. It invites an increased flow of energy, greater capacity for movement, improved feeling of well-being and the ability to perform physically and mentally at a higher level. With the release of unconscious memories that have controlled our perception, we can be open to increased intimacy and move into the world with less fear. We can experience a greater sense of unity with the deepest part of our being.

The Process

Body Transformation is usually offered as a series of twelve ninety minute sessions. It utilises a unique blend of deep tissue and subtle bodywork to enable a wholistic body re-education to realign the body, correct postural imbalances and facilitate release of tension.

Sessions 1 - 3

In these sessions we begin the initial opening: releasing inhibited patterns of breathing, inviting more vital organic lifeforce and enabling the rediscovery of the flow of feeling life in the body.

Sessions 4 - 6

These sessions work deeply to release holdings in the musculature and attachments to the pelvis, lower back, belly and legs. As the lower body is the foundation of the whole, this enables a gradual recovery of our natural ease of movement, flexibility and grace.

Session 7

Sessions 8 - 9

Analysis and specific work to integrate the top half of the body with the bottom according to the individual's needs.

Sessions 10 - 12

The subtle bodywork sessions can release holdings through the entire digestive tract. This enables healing of incomplete aspects of our early development and unfolding. These sessions can also clear aspects of the past that inhibit our experience of bliss and connection to higher consciousness.

Body Transformation is...

A wholistic body re-education, usually offered as a series of twelve ninety-minute sessions designed to realign the body, correct postural imbalances and facilitate deep release of tension. It utilises a unique blend of deep and subtle bodywork (postural integration, Zen bodywork), breathing techniques, and conscious awareness of the body. It recognises that our body is inseparable from our conscious and unconscious mind, and our emotional, mental and spiritual life. The extraordinary power of this approach is its capacity to work on many levels at the same time.

Who is Body Transformation suitable for?

BT benefits people from all walks of life. Some come specifically for relief of tension, some from a desire for better body alignment, others for their personal growth. It is particularly good during pregnancy and for people with normal functioning who wish to expand to peak performance.

Body Transformation for Women

The Body Transformation process benefits women of all ages and walks of life. Women today juggle a range of sometimes conflicting demands. In striving to meet them, we often experience great depletion and feelings of lack in our bodies. Body Transformation invites the release of stress from the body and brings attention to our own development and needs which allow us to respond to the demands of life positively. There are important events in the organic life of a woman's body which provide the basis for the next transition. Where there is incompleteness in these milestones a woman's further growth is restricted. People with impaired or deficient body-mind functioning who wish to improve their capabilities.

Sexuality

We live in a culture where the natural expression of sexuality is repressed. Women are portrayed in a highly sexualised and unreal manner. Women often carry negative and limiting feelings about their bodies and fear around their sexuality. Healing of these impediments allows a return to natural expression. The release of tension in a body heightens it's availability to feel orgasmic.

Birth Preparation

During labour a woman's body opens to allow the passage of the baby. Past tensions and inhibitions held in the body can disrupt the natural opening, causing her to feel pain and fear. The intensity of this experience can be overwhelming, making it hard to labour naturally. During Body Transformation sessions, the woman learns to use her breath, sound and awareness to allow her body to open. She learns to remain present, to relax and go deeply within herself. These skills assist her to surrender to the individual pattern and rhythm of her baby's birth. Women who have undertaken Body Transformation during pregnancy report deep satisfaction with the outcome. Body Transformation Practitioner and Physiotherapist, Sambodhi has pioneered a process for healing the long term effects of epidural anaesthetic in the body.

Menopause

This natural time of letting go is an excellent opportunity for healing and coming to terms with the influences that have shaped her. By opening to new possibilities she can bring forth her wisdom with power and confidence.
