Vital Alignment

Physical and emotional stress can wreak havoc on the body.  We expect to perform physical and mental tasks that we simply weren’t designed to do.  Evolution hasn’t quite caught up with 21st century living.  Just as our emotional brain is the stone age version compared with our higher, thinking brain, so the physical body wasn’t designed to sit for long periods, drive, work computer keyboards or many of the other ways in which we use it.  Although the body will always try to heal itself given the right conditions, an unbalanced life may eventually lead to an unbalanced body.  By gently encouraging the body to let go of tension, huge relief can be experienced both physically and emotionally.

Physical pain is a terrible burden to carry and is experienced both as the physiological sensation and the emotional arousal around what we think it is.  Gentle massage, alignment and relaxation can all help bring about relief in conjunction with techniques from the Human Givens approach.
