Modern life is fast, demanding efficiency, stability. Rational approach replaces feelings, argumentation replaces senses…
We start to identify ourselves with our stressed minds while our bodies become something like a functional appendix for an efficient life plan. Sooner or later the body responds. Usually with pain, or regular discomfort, “emotional instability” or just with “lack of energy” that leads to depression.
Growing number of people find themselves dissatisfied with “successful life scenarios”. We discover that when “successfull life” is here, happiness might easily be somewhere else. Here comes the moment when body can no more be put aside.
Body oriented practices assist in reintegration with ourselves. It helps to relax deeply, release tensions, let go the emotional blockages. To finally feel comfortable and dive into the state of satisfied mind which is in fact a dream for many generally “successful” people.
Emotional effects of body practices empower ability towards being empathic, have bigger capacity in communication with others. Reconnection with inner self gives opportunity to feel joy in everyday living. Helps being determined and knowing, when it comes to understanding of real needs.
Besides that bodywork can provide pain relief, reduce or eliminate pain sometimes even in chronic, lasting cases. It brings up the feeling of connectedness on emotional and physical levels; leads to the new level of self confidence.
