BALANCE U® A holistic practice of psychotherapy and energy work for mind, body and spirit. Concept and Method The healing process begins with awareness of the interconnection between mind, body and spirit. The healing method honors this relationship by actively incorporating the body in the therapeutic process. The key to healing is the heart. This is the mediator amongst mind, body and spirit, and is the main energy center in Eastern understanding as well. If we have access to the heart and the heart is healed, powerful energy can flow much more easily to the rest of us. The Healing Partnership The partnership between client and practitioner creates an alliance for healing. Working together, the two formulate a general plan and determine the aim of the therapeutic work. The practitioner also educates the client on self-care exercises and practices which promote healing and growth. BalanceU integrates the skills of listening, conversation, touch and intuition. The practitioner weaves these together using the techniques of energetic bodywork, verbal dialogue and spiritual presence. The Session-in Person In the therapeutic session the practitioner listens verbally and intuitively to the client’s health concerns. Verbal dialogue engages the mind and respectful, gentle touch engages the body. Each provides a pathway for understanding the client’s state of health and activating the healing process. The practitioner may work sitting directly across from the client or may utilize a bodywork table on which the client, fully clothed, lies on the table. The client may be guided in body/mind exercises such as imagery and breath release work or receive healing touch. The client always has the right to speak up immediately if in any way uncomfortable on the table. The practitioner’s hands are listening tools as well as tools for channeling energy. The first purpose of touch is to contact the body and respectfully listen to the story it reveals. The second is the use of touch as a healing force to: assess the client’s state of health, facilitate the clearing of energetic blocks, increase the flow of vital energy and restore balance to the system. Discovering the body’s story and harmonizing the body’s energy ignites the healing process and the journey towards health. home | credentials | workshops | testimonials | education | contact | links | webmaster © 2003-2006 BalanceU.
