Holistic Pulsing & The Body-Mind Connection
Michelle Gunn

A number of mind body therapies have been developed over the last 30 years or so, which incorporate the belief that those negative emotions we hold have been caused by a disturbance in the natural energy flow of the body’s system.

Body mind therapies explore how life experience takes shape in the human body. This discipline studies, explores and works with feelings, thoughts and actions as they are expressed and transformed in every dimension of our physical lives.

We perceive our world from a body mind perspective - we sense, feel, think, and intuit. When the spoken word and transmitted feelings don’t match we wonder and react to those contradictions, not with our mind, but with our body-mind.

It is these types of memories - feelings, pain and stress - that can remain in our energy system and cause blockages; and until these blockages are cleared the memory will always cause stress, pain and anxiety to the body and mind.

Holistic Pulsing can assist in accessing these blockages. As we are working with the body’s natural rhythm through the rocking motion, the gentle and nurturing action allows the client to become aware of their blockages, helping to alleviate the negative emotional charge held in their body.

When the client becomes aware of the reasoning behind the blockages, they are able to release in a very gentle and non-invasive way. Dialogue at times isn’t necessary between the client and the practitioner. The client can experience the body’s relief with sighs, laughter, wanting the body part being pulsed to be moved faster or slower or to be held and supported. Alternatively the body may just want to take over and move as it wants to.

Holistic Pulsing treatments can benefit those who want to

* Manage stress
* Heal pain
* Pursue personal growth
* Have time out for counselling and problem solving
* Strengthen intuitive abilities
* Delve deep into psychological and emotional issues
* Lie on a massage table and receive some professional touch.

Professional touch, combined with transparent, non invasive and heart based attention, creates an environment for the client to make contact with their own deep inner resources of the brain, body and psyche – this in turn stimulates the clients own natural healing processes. Holistic Pulsing takes its clues and signals from the client, letting the client set the pace, the depth, and the rhythm of the work.

People of all ages thrive on touch and a source of physical healing, emotional nourishment, spiritual strength, and even mental motivation. There is a growing recognition that receiving regular hands on treatment enhances the wide spectrum of wellbeing.

With Holistic Pulsing we are able to create an environment where healing can take place, a safe and nurturing space for people to relax, releasing their stress and tension without fear of being judged.
