Spinal Energetics

Spinal Energetics is a practice that combines Eastern and Western thought, to interact with a person’s spine, nervous system and energetic field, to harness a person’s own innate wisdom to know and heal themselves.

Each living being is not just a physical form but also a being of energy. Energy encompasses each of our aspects; physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and soul: Woven together with our ancestry, experiences, stories, personality, and character.

Spinal Energetics supports the meeting of the middle path of homeostasis; balance, whilst honouring the polarity we experience through life.

Through light yet powerful touch (and often no touch), an organic flow of movement and sound begins and progresses to shift, unwind, discover and release tension, resistance, and stories that may have been stored in the body.

Spinal Energetics is a practice of collaboration and co-creation between client and practitioner to cultivate and support a deep self-awareness and connection to all parts of you.

You may be seeking:

• A connection to your body and its internal rhythm

• A coming back to Self with a sense of wholeness

• A gentle release of stress or trauma

• Emotional and energy balance

• Relief from physical ailment, fatigue or tension

• The path of less resistance where there is a flow of energy through your body which is reflected in your life

• Clarity and connection to your Soul and purpose

• A curiosity in energy healing and a commitment to the healing path
  

Appointments are offered as one- to - one sessions or in small groups of 2-4 people (also beneficial for family members and lineage healing). Appointments also available globally as an online session.

Spinal Energetics can also be experienced in a group capacity at a class or event. This healing harnesses the potency of our shared collective energy for deep and expansive transformation.

The Spinal Energetics Experience

We co-create a flow of energy and sense of safety within the body where the innate wisdom is felt, expressed and embodied.

We work with the deeper aspects of the self, the layers that exist beyond just the conscious mind to unravel the totality of what has been stored- not just in the body, the nervous system, and the energetic field. This could include tension, emotions, experiences and inherited patterns that can limit the free innate intelligence/energy and expression of oneself.

The intention of a session is to create an aligned, supportive and safe environment where the system can self regulate and release what is no longer needed. The goal is not always to dissolve or bypass these layers but to allow for an evolution of their purpose in our lives.

Spinal Energetics won’t force the conscious mind to process what’s present, as not all processing needs to happen verbally or cognitively. We harness the innate wisdom within the body and the nervous system to unravel and unwind stored patterns without needing to “figure it out” with our minds. We can bypass mental resistance for a deep and organic transformation. This approach also respects the notion that some imprints are simply energy that needs movement.

Spinal Energetics holds a space for possibility, and a processing at a pace that allows for supportive integration whilst harnessing the system’s own innate intelligence to guide the way.

A person’s experience with Spinal Energetics is unique to them and each session can feel different. For some the experience is a more an internal and felt experience, as energy is cultivated and shifted. For others there is a more extroverted expressed experience. The response to the treatment is driven by an individual's energy, intuition and instinct. This can also be contributed by the energy layer being facilitated (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual or soul).

A person may experience feelings of joy, deep relaxation, renewal, or may experience a cathartic release of emotion and pain. Some may experience involuntary movement or feel the urge and desire to move or stretch, to breathe deeply or make sound through the process.

Clients often report a ‘soothing out’ of their nervous system, feelings of calm and freedom within the mind and body, a relief from physical ailments, a sense of wholeness, a homecoming to themselves.

Processing Stress and the Nervous System

We have the ability to integrate and process our life experiences which are stored within our body, nervous system & the blueprint of our energetic field.

Stress is part of our human experience.

An integrated system can process this stress across the nervous system, bodymind and energy state.

Stress becomes an issue when it’s no longer contextual and is stored. Stress can be as a result of loss, change, uncertainty, insecurity, fear, repression, lack of safety (as much more).

The initial stress trigger may no longer be relevant but your body may still believe it is.

You may tell yourself otherwise but your body may not know any different because it hasn’t processed the ENERGY surrounding the stressful event, in a felt, safe and embodied way.

This is when trauma is held within the body.

This is when we become fragmented and disconnected from self, and emotions may be deeply suppressed.

And those parts of us start to communicate through the bodymind, in the way we behave and connect with ourselves and others, or as dis-ease in the bodymind.

Those fractured parts of you don’t want to be forgotten. They were once in union within yourself. They seek connection and unconditional love.

When we are fragmented and disconnected from our full spectrum of experiences in this way, we need to cultivate safety and context back in the body to bring connection across all aspects of our self for knowing, harmony, and healing within oneself.

The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work together to keep your body in balance, each system have opposite roles. The sympathetic NS carries signals that put your body’s systems on alert, the parasympathetic NS carries signals to relax, rest and restore.

An integrated system moves between the sympathetic NS and the Parasympathetic NS often and with ease.

When the body is in sympathetic dominance, it puts tension on both the spine and the nerves and impacts the frequency within the body’s cells. Stress, hardship and suffering throughout our lives can store in the body as stagnation.

Beneath the body’s protective parts of self, created by feeling unsafe by experiencing prolonged stress or trauma, is our true essence and a deep desire to be and feel whole.

Spinal Energetics can support to calm the nervous system, returning to a parasympathetic state of compassion, ease, flow, acceptance and peace.

Integration

The experience within a Spinal Energetics session is unique to the individual and to the session itself depending on what is present for the person, their intention for the healing and the processing taking place. Likewise, the integration of a Spinal Energetics session is unique.

We advise clients that integration takes around 72 hours for the energy to be fully processed and felt within the body but this can take longer. Integration practices related to the session can be very supportive, these can be discussed in your session.

Go gently and give yourself the space you need to be mindful of your body, breath and emotional state as you embody the energies following Spinal Energetics.
