Body Mind Spirit Integration

a deep relaxation therapy

What happens in an Integration session ?

You wear soft clothing and lie comfortably on a cushioned table.

Your practitioner moves you gently and rythmically within your unique ranges and rythms

Your nervous system is bathed in wave after wave of gentle, soothing motion

Not pushy or painful . . . . . . . it is pleasureful
Rather than feeling pressure or force, your body and mind are gently and playfully invited and coaxed to trust, to let go, to relax deeply and to release unneeded tension

Waves of deepening relaxation wash over you. Alpha waves nourish your immune system. Breathing slows and deepens. As in meditation, your body, your mind, and your spirit are nurtured and restored to harmony and balance.
You are at peace
.

Unique technique . . .

Integration accesses new feelings of lightness and freeness. No other technique is quite like it. No oils or lotions are used.
The Body Mind Spirit Integration Approach uses gentle, rhythmic movement to pleasurefully connect you with your body while facilitating deep relaxation, improving mobility, and calming your mind. As a result you let go of physical and mental blocks, and release unneeded tension. You can move more easily . . . You can feel lighter, grounded, and centered . . . . . .

This educational process, Body Mind Spirit Integration, reaches below your conscious awareness to the sub-conscious patterning level. In the movements, your mind receives suggestions and examples such as: Softer, Lighter, Freer, Longer, Looser, etc. Imprinted patterns are replaced with lightness and freeness as your mind and body are immersed in new ways of feeling and being.

Your mind is calmed as natural pleasure chemicals called endorphins are secreted. Your immune system is nourished by Alpha brain waves that accompany your relaxed state of mind.

How does it work ?

Life is movement. When you are hurt, sick, or reduce your movement for other reasons, the neural circuits that operate your body become less effective, through loss of practice. Too much, too little, or unbalanced muscle tension can result.

Gentle rhythmic movement of your comfortably supported body gives your functional mind sensory information about where your body parts are and how they feel and move. Muscle tensions are adjusted automatically. You move with more ease and you achieve a better body-mind connection.

What are the benefits ?

Feel good . . . move easily . . . enjoy your body . . . calm your mind . . . access inner peace . . . feel relaxed vitality . . . release chronic stress . . . recover from being hurt . . . nurture immune system . . . re-connect with yourself . . .

How much is needed ?

A single session can feel wonderful. Releasing significant holding patterns can be enhanced by a series of sessions. The positive effects are cumulative.

Notes :

This technique does not diagnose or treat disease. It is not a substitute for medical attention.

The Body Mind Spirit Integration Approach teaches your functional mind to release unneeded tension and to balance needed tension.

Above all, Integration is deeply relaxing, guided by a philosophy of gentleness, complete acceptance, and unconditional love.

Warm Pool Massage .... Watsu

What is watsu ?

Watsu is a gentle, nurturing therapy practiced in warm, body-temperature water. Watsu combines movement, stretches and moments of stillness.

In 1981 Harold Dull took the stretches of Zen Shiatsu into the natural warm pools of northern California. He named this new modality Watsu, for Water Shiatsu.

Appreciation of Watsu is now worldwide. It is practiced in clinics, hospitals and spas in North America, Japan, Australia, and across Europe.

Psychologists, psychiatrists, physical therapists, massage therapists, and lay people are enthusiastic about the benefits of Watsu.

Watsu is for everyone – the very young, adolescents, the elderly, pregnant, athletes and those suffering from simple stress. Watsu is effective in a wide variety of neurologic and orthopedic problems.

Watsu’s gentle rocking movements, stretches and nurturing support of the practitioner bring receivers to the peace and simplicity of their earliest childhood and womb states, allowing physical and emotional blockages to be gently released.

Above all, Watsu is deeply relaxing, guided by a philosophy of gentleness, complete acceptance, and unconditional love.
