This is a great description of the mind body integration work that I am doing. When a client experiences the flowing freedom that exists in the nonstop current of chi, something breaks open in their consciousness. A new perspective of responsibility, the kind that gives us relief 'Ahhh, there is something I can do about this. This is something I can grab hold of and actually change." It reduces the projection and manifestation of distractions - all those things that keep us from feeling deeply and experiencing life for what it is. The process in mind body integration work facilitates the touching of those areas, emotionally and physically. When the client is on the table, I touch the area that I can see is tight - either through their breathing, tightened musculature or rigidity. I ask them to feel my hand in that area...this is the first and basic mind body connection. Relaxing into the acknowledgement of connection awakens the flow in that area - feelings may come up or not. The first step has been taken. They have come into their body and the journey begins.
