The dance of energy between practitioner and client on the table - Part 1

Psychosomatic Therapist and Emotional Release Bodyworker Series

As many of you know, I work with people's body-mind relationship mostly with my hands and in presence. I dance with a lot of other people's energy on a close and personal level. Knowing my centre and true north requires continuous discipline and mastery. I have learned that each and every person I dance with has as much to offer me as I do to them; it is always an exchange.

Part of the process of finding my centre and integrating the gold is that I too need a variety of bodywork, this being from many traditions but most importantly from the person delivering the medicine. Each person has their own essence, which is so much more than being a man or woman and the chosen profession or tools that they use. It is about truly being with the person's magic. "That magic never comes from perfection; it comes from their humanity." (credit: Tahlia Murdoch)

When I choose a practitioner, I enter the session with honesty and the truth about what my body is willing and ready to receive from this being. My level of trust in them is formed through the psychosomatic dance. It is not forced or controlled; in fact, if force and control enter the space, my body will recognize it and block, hold back, or withhold. I trust my body immensely.

Side Note: Knowing your essence is a key to a successful therapy practice - understanding the energetic imprint you hold and how you are positioned in the world will help people find and define you for their needs. Our online training program takes each and every student of a deep personal journey before looking at working on another.

I booked a session with a lady by the name of Lisa Hills. Lisa is not only a friend of mine; she is a former student and a master bodyworker in the art of kahuna, amongst other things. Her essence is strong, direct, and passionate.

She takes me to places within my bodymind that most never dare to travel. This in turn allows me to face my past, my pain, my discord, my reinforced holds, and then my emotion, my essence, my love, my sensuality, and my peace until we reach nothing. It is then that every part of me is particles that land when they are ready to be in a newly integrated place.

The intention of this blog is for two reasons:

1. In a session with a therapist or bodyworker, you will only travel where you and the therapist are able to travel together. If you or the therapist use force or control, the body will not feel safe. When Lisa took me to those places of pain, she arrived there, and she then held the area while I had my journey at my own pace - in other words, I discovered my safety in the perceived unsafe. The energy/emotion/story then moved through my expression and experience of emotion. She then assisted by physically moving it through with me.

2. I would like to thank Lisa Hills for her time and the gift of her medicine. Lisa is not for the faint-hearted; she is a tremendously good therapist. Her essence is passion, strength, resilience and power, the way she channels energy through her body is strong and dedicated, what she taught my body is that I can face challenge head on, feel my pain, not only handle but travel through it. This medicine is ever lasting and the ingredient I needed at that time.
