The Ideal Client |
|
The ideal client is anyone willing to be ushered into an altered state of heightened awareness and deep relaxation for the purpose of evoking shifts in feeling and perception. During Times of Transition or Crisis: Being therapeutically held in an honoring space of unconditional love and acceptance helps ease the pain of loss and transition. Under Stress or Compromised State of Being: When your skin, connective tissue, muscles, joints, blood and lymph are stimulated through the application of purposeful touch techniques, the parasympathetic nervous system sends a tranquilizing message to the entire bodymind which reduces stress, elevates mood, boosts the immune system and activates the healer within.
In Your Body Speaks Its Mind psychobiologist Stanley Keleman writes: "In coming to recognize how I hold myself, I begin to contact the feelings, thoughts, and memories that go along with my structure. As soon as I choose to inhabit the neglected part of my body, I begin the process of integrating its message: its desires and complaints." |
