The
'body-mind connection' means that what we
feel and think has a direct consequence on
our physical body, that our body and our mind
are not separate but are intrinsically
linked.
|
There
is much compelling evidence that it is possible to
create positive change
in the
dynamic balance or homeostasis of the body and that
this can occur by establishing a dialogue between the
mind and the body, a dialogue that
utilises
"images,
sensations, ideas, beliefs"*to engage the mind's
powerful ability to instigate action in such a way
that changes occur within the physiological,
neurological and immunological systems of the
body. This
ability for change as a consequence of this dialogue
is profound. It is as if the dialogue reminds or
re-awakens the natural intelligence of the individual
as well as inviting and encouraging a return to a
dynamic balance, the essential ingredient
for
healing,
health and wellbeing to prevail. Combining
a conversational and or counselling approach with
gentle bodywork
is one way
of cultivating this dialogue between the body and the
mind enabling your body to release and unlock patterns
of tension and holding that have developed throughout
your life.
