Sessions take place in a safe and caring manner that will
include a careful evaluation of the energetic, vibrational state of all
your organs, endocrine gland system, bone structures, your emotional state
and how that effects your body from the present back to birth, conception
and before if necessary. We will look at a variety of different
modalities, both Western and Eastern to establish a blueprint of your
totality.
We will balance your chakras, acknowledge what may be blocking you from
having the most out of your life. What is your Will to Live? Your Life
Vibration? What outside influences are effecting the state of your health?
You will learn ways to heal yourself using projected internal color
therapy, visualization or thought projection and meditation. You will learn
what "bugs" (parasites, worms, viruses and bacteria) are
weakening you and what to do about them.
The Line by Owen James
I entered the Natural
History Museum in New York City to view an exhibit of skeletons of the
stages of human evolution. There were a series of skeletons from ape to
early man to modern man and then room, purposefully left in the showcase for
a more modern man yet to come. From the apes C curve to the human S curve
that we find so difficult to maintain in a balanced ease.
Ida Rolf taught a view of the whole human;
balanced in gravity physically, emotionally and spiritually. She used the
term “A more human use of the human being” -- an exploration
through gravity as a constant force to be used consciously or randomly --
the choice being one’s own.
T he process of Rolfing© is a
conscience process of helping to make present in one’s awareness the
possibility of rising to a call that already exists. I hear so often from
clients how what they now feel and experience feels right. Where does this
feeling of right come from?
Dr. Rolf taught that education
“Educere” from the Latin meaning to bring out or lead forth.
She was trained as a scientist and trained herself in the esoteric arts. So
this “leading out” meant to her, through the unwrapping of the
layers of facial memory, through the freeing of one’s posture:
Posture, a characterization of one’s emotional need to portray both
one’s memories of joy and also pain and suffering through expression
in the body. This freedom allows the structure to emerge. To find in this
organized releasing of the facial body, and the complex physiological
inclusion of all the working parts, a person could move ever slightly more
forward in evolution. She believed that the next human would know how to
live gracefully in this ever constant force of gravity.
What are other aspects that God gave us as
humans? We each have a body type, ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph and
with each body type we also have a temperament that gives us a way of
viewing and acting out our life through this great temple – The Human
Body.
Carl Yung adds another aspect rising the
terms introverted and extroverted. John Upledger has described people as
living in extension or flexion. This being just a few examples of how, when
someone comes for help, hearing a call to ease some stress, be it pain in
the body, mind or soul. How do we as a practitioner, access the right tools
to truly work with the whole person?
We of course start with what we have
learned, practice that until we see, know that what we know has certain
limitations. Some people get better and some may take much more time. One
of my interests is to see from a larger perspective that which opens the
door to more complex, or what may seem as more complex view of the human
that comes for help and often guidance. Again, my role is to assist in
leading out or exploration of pursuing life to greater health.
To further explore the idea of Line, we
work with the abstract concept of core and sleeve. We know everything is
connected, and any intrusion into a person’s order will create some
change through the whole. Therefore, our intention when beginning a session
is to stay in tune with the whole as we alter the various sum of the parts.
That is how Dr. Rolf unfolded the 10 session series. Constantly watching the
body and what physical manipulation would result in an alteration or new
balance of the whole. Her process was far from random and took many years
to develop a cohesive order that could be taught. Always the goal was a
more organized body in gravity with a released core and integrated through
the whole system. This led her to also develop a movement system to work
with the facilitation of the learning during and after the 10 session
series. download a
