Freeing The Body From Stress
What is Life Force Recovery?
Life Force refers to the essential energy that flows through the body and gives life to all the biological systems. It gives us the ability to be conscious, to feel emotions and have thought and awareness. This energy is more than just an electrical energy, it's a life force that has innate intelligence which originally directs the growth and development of the foetus and which activates and animates the entire human system.
The human body is a walking biography of information and stores the memory of our life experiences in the cellular matrix. Those that are unhealed, over time, can create pain, postural dysfunction and physical symptoms. The body”s intelligence has everything it needs to heal itself with the right conditions.
Life Force Recovery is a unique, integrative, somatic bodywork treatment that specifcally identifies and resolves accumulated patterns of stress, pain and trauma built up over the course of life, that results in physical body restriction and pain, behavioural and emotional adaptive patterns, disease processes, body armouring and holding patterns that contribute to Life Force energy becoming bound up, stagnant or unavailable for fully expressed wellbeing. The uniqueness of this work is that it addresses specifically the flow of energy and physical structures in what is known as The Central Channel.
Life Force Recovery is a powerful synergistic application of structural, fascial and Japanese bodywork, Shin Tai Shiatsu, Visceral organ manipulation, somatic release and bio-energetic healing. It specialises in locating and treatment of restriction and stress held in the body memory of experiences and focuses on restoring the body’s own innate healing ability of self correction.
About the treatment
What to expect
Life Force recovery is a hands on bodywork practiced through clothing. Varying depths of gentle mobilisation and adjustment are applied to release restrictions and stress patterns in the central channel -along the spine and its network of bone, muscle, fascia, nervous system, meridians and chakras. It can also include Visceral Manipulation of the abdomen to assist the release of toxic build up in the physical organs and viscera, such as the as bile or pancreatic ducts, ureters, kidney and colon which improves their ability to function optimally.
Treatment encourages space and the mobility of structures, so Life Force energy can be liberated, creating organisation and balance throughout the body.
Treatments assist in stress reduction, pain relief, immune strengthening, digestive and reproductive health, and improvement of many common health complaints.
The intention of the treatment is to increase available life force, activating the body to align physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Using a highly developed system of diagnosis and technique, deeply compressed stress patterns can lift out of the body, increasing energy flow to muscles glands and organs. This helps the body function better and the emotions and mind to respond in a more balanced way , free from the worry of past or future situations and functioning more in the present time. This kind of bodywork is appropriate for children, adults and the elderly.
Visceral Manipulation
VM is a manual abdominal treatment using specific massage and fascial release techniques, performed on the hara or belly through loose clothing. The build up of stresses over time and the fast pace of life in the world we inhabit, creates the Nervous System to be stuck in a fight or flight mode. The nerves that supply the abdominal organs become impaired and their function reduced, which causes toxic build up and conditions such as IBS, gall stones , kidney stones and digestive and hormonal imbalances.
The Body Cushion
Treatment takes place on a specialised body cushion for front lying, which allows the spine to be supported into passive traction.
It is a body positioning system that allows a person to lie without unnecessary pressure on soft tissue areas. Supporting the body on its bony structures , clavicles, ribs, sternum, pelvis , enables the body's soft structural components to relax, deeply.
Key Benefits: Decompresses the Spine, eases soft tissue release, allows deep breathing, improves hemodynamics (circulation, blood-flow) and reduces pain & tension.
Stress
Throughout life, the process of internalising various kinds of stresses, physical ,chemical, mental and emotional, has an effect that constricts and compresses the body and its natural motion and movement.
Stress events that happen all at once, (like a trauma), or those that are gradual as micro daily stresses, (such as a boss that is difficult) affect the body and cause the soft tissue system of the body to constrict, (blood flow and energy flow) and can lock a person down into that time period where that stress took place.
This therefore becomes internalised information that starts to overlay on future events so that while we are experiencing the present , it's being filtered by a lens of the past, so you could say that one is not operating on real time information.
During treatment, stress patterns are identified and released from the body. This naturally creates space for regeneration and realignment not only physically, but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
