Pulsing
What I offer & What to expect
Pulsing is often described as “The Tai Chi of massage”
Holistic pulsing is an integrative form of bodywork that allows you to increase your sensitivity to your body and engage in a process of dynamic re-patterning of body, mind and soul.
This Reichian bioenergetic bodywork helps you connect to your embodied self, release physical tension and emotional stress, let go of old patterns and discover a more authentic way of being. It is perhaps unique in the field of somatics in being touch-based, movement-based and emotion-focussed.
Pulsing is a body-mind centred approach, using the power of gentle rhythmic touch and continuous movement of the whole body, rather than manipulation of soft tissue, allowing connection with the skeletal system to improve mobility and movement, and to encourage release of both the superficial holding of everyday muscular tension and the chronic holding of body armour.
The wave-like rhythm brings a sense of ease and flow, encouraging you to accept support and nurturing, to surrender to the motion and release habitual control of the body's natural impulses.
Pulsing has many benefits on both the physical and psychological body, boosting energy levels and your sense of fun and aliveness; at the same time it is profoundly relaxing, deeply nurturing and supportive. Psychologically it can help change old patterns, as the softening of body armour and the release of energy allows transformation to occur gently and naturally. For this reason people are often drawn to Pulsing at times of transition in their lives.
What to expect in a treatment:
Sessions will begin with an initial 30 minute consultation, so you can be supported holistically creating a bespoke treatment for you. The session itself is a clothed session, therefore comfortable non-restrictive clothing is best so that your body is free to move as it needs to.
Pulsing is a whole body sequence of joint manipulation to encourage skeletal stretching, which challenges the muscles to soften and lengthen to conform to the changed skeletal pattern, assisted by some soft-tissue manipulation in key areas. This takes place within a matrix of shifting patterns of rhythmic, rocking motions that encourage the body to re-experience its innate movement potential. A baseline rhythm is set that is close the heart rate of the baby in the womb; this soft, sometimes almost hypnotic movement connects to our inner depths and brings echoes of a time when we were completely supported and nurtured.
For most of the session your body will be rocked in this way, the speed will vary depending on whether there is a need for it to be more nurturing or more energising. Arms and legs may be moved, lifted, rotated, stretched or bounced to encourage mobility. There is an emphasis on freeing the head and neck, helping the spine become more flexible and releasing deep-seated tension in the chest and diaphragm, to encourage relaxed and deeper breathing.
During the session, you will be encouraged to surrender into the movement and connect with your own breath and awareness to the pulse of your body. As you relax, sometimes the whole body will spontaneously yield and ride the wave of flowing movement.
