For many people, feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious, and tired become a way of life. Living this way can lead to health problems such as headache, digestive disorders, back and neck pain, and sleeplessness, among others. Additionally, situations such as conflict in relationships, both personal and professional, or being unproductive and unhappy at work, can easily and consistently develop. These types of issues, which originate from physical, emotional, and mental stress, often involve an unhealthy complex relationship between mind and body, are ideally suited for treatment with energy based bodywork and therapy.
Energy therapy acknowledges that negative life experiences create emotions such as anger, fear, stress, resentment, guilt and sadness and that these emotions become trapped in specific areas of the physical body. Trapped emotions, often called energy blocks, create physical, emotional and mental disharmony. We can hold these energy blocks with little or no awareness as some of the causal events may have occurred at a very young age causing us to enact unhealthy patterns to compensate for these blocks. The key to successful release is becoming aware of these blocks. A skilled practitioner is trained to hold the space for this awareness to happen and for any natural shifts to occur that will reestablish the state of natural, optimal energy flow.
