Integrative Energy Medicine
Integrative Energy Medicine is a technique that adjusts, unwinds, and soothes the energy systems of the human body. The energetics of the body correspond with the electrical current of the central nervous system. These electrical responses are responsible for controlling the major functions of the human body including movement, temperature, awareness, thinking, speech, reproduction, digestion, the five senses, control of the major functions of our internal organs, and developing our autonomic response to life. The central nervous system develops a subtle energy both within and outside of the human body, this is our electro-magnetic field. When we experience trauma through life it impacts the central nervous system and causes disruption to the parts of our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health that the nervous system regulates and controls.
During energy healing sessions, we address the ways in which stagnation, tension, fatigue, traumatic injury, stress, and repressed emotions show up as patterns within the energy of the body. In sessions a client is laying down on a massage table fully clothed and I gently soothe and adjust the areas of the body that are still holding onto stress and tension. I do this through my hands both through gentle pressure and touch and through my hands adjusting the energy around the body. During the session clients are guided to bring awareness to their own sensations to support their own nervous system and to support the changes that are occurring as tension is released and processed.
This helps clients to develop interoception or awareness of the body which is responsible for regulating the nervous system. Through the support of my hands and through guiding clients to notice their sensations we begin to support and follow the shifts out of stress and tension and into rest, safety, softening, and release of the allostatic load that the nervous system is carrying.
adjusting this subtle energy through energy medicine sessions helps to decreases the weight, pressure, tension, stress, and stagnation that is still held in the autonomic nervous system. This brings relief to all of the part of the body that the nervous system controls and regulates. Energy Medicine supports the nervous system to return to a baseline of regulation and to support the parasympathetic response which stimulates healing and repair of all the major system of our body.
During sessions we adjust and soothe the held tension of the nervous system, we learn to support the body to release stress and tension, and we embody the safety, release, and ease through this therapeutic environment and approach to healing.
