Our 5 Body Approach
If we think of the physical body as separate from the emotional, mental, spiritual, and energetic bodies we are in a major denial of reality. When we step back and see more holistically we see the interrelationships of how we can support the whole by addressing each part. Ancient medicine practices such as Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and Folk Medicines around the world have understood this well.
Our work together is ideally done in layers, moving through the different bodies to support each pillar of the Being as a Whole. If you wonder which layer to start with first try asking your Body. It knows. And if you need help interpreting what you are receiving from the body and your intuition you have come to the right place. We are in service to supporting this translation.
So lets break this down to give you a deeper understanding of how we work with each body at Equilibria.
Physical - The physical body with its pains, symptoms, structural misalignments, and diagnoses. Most people come to massage to help relief their muscular pain and yet the pain often persists. That is because the body speaks and is always in a process of trying to maintain equilibrium for you. It is always working in your benefit and yet it needs your co-operation. Your collaboration. It needs you to be in right relationship with it. In responsible, sober, responsive, compassionate communication with it. So often sensations shift from pain simply by coming into presence with and willingness to be with whatever is there. We so often want someone else, or a pill, to deal with it. Our work together is to guide you to come to it maturely, lovingly, and consciously. Energywork, massage/bodywork, dance/movement, shaking, and somatic awareness practices are utilized in our work as needed from the lens of physical embodiment/alignment.
Emotional - Our grief, sadness, anger, rage, joy, shame, and so on Often times people feel they are processing emotions by talking about them with their therapists or friends, but emotions are FELT, in the body, not thought about in the mind. They are often suppressed, repressed, and avoided from being felt, through addictive behaviors that numb and distract. The process is one of bringing the energy down and in, not up and out of the head like most tend to live. We are a culture that avoids pain at all costs, especially emotional pain. We learn how to be nice and good and not upset others. Our work here is about cultivating a resilience in the nervous system which honors our animal body and claims our ability to be fierce when necessary, grounded in our truth and center. IFS, Reparenting, somato emotional journeying, journaling practices, and art are what we utilize to support this layer of your being.
Mental - There are ways in which our minds can get bound by the ego to staying stuck. We can perseverate over an aspect of something that if not kept in check can rule our existence in a disempowering way. Our work together is to bring awareness to the way in which you are utilizing your mind to either be a tool in service to your Divine mission, or a tool for staying in avoidance, fear, collapse, and suffering. The beautiful thing is that it is in the cultivating greater mastery over the mind that we can no longer see the mind as an enemy but an incredibly beautiful gift. So often people speak about quieting the mind as the ultimate goal and what is misunderstood is how there is a shadow and light side to everything and the paradox is that we can have a quiet mind while still having a richly active mind that leads us into greater understandings, actions, and manifestation. Our work together will be to delineate the difference between a mind that serves your Divinity over your ego. Its a journey that will continue always to refine.
Spiritual - When we are disconnected from our spiritual body we lack a sense of connection to all that is. We can feel lost, without purpose or belonging, disconnected from Magic. When I say Magic I am speaking to the practical ways in which beauty, awe, and wonder can be felt experienced in every day, as well as miracles that can be experienced not just rarely but often. This is the woven into the spiritual laws of manifestation, not in the ‘give me’ kind of way but in the connecting to the souls longings in the most deep and true way. You will hear me speak a great deal of the deepening and the deep because I am in service to the Descent Down. I am here to reconnect you to the Divine Feminine and she is the Earth, the inner, the deep, the dark, the dirty, gritty, messy. People often view spirituality as the angelic realms, heavenly, man in the sky, star seed. This is only one pole of a range of Spirit. And I am here to honor the full spectrum, figure 8 of ascent AND descent. Embodied spirituality. In the body, integrating heaven WITH Earth. Not to escape it. But bring it down and in.
Energy - When it comes to Energy there are many lessons and skills we can learn in order to be in dynamic relationship with Life Force. If we want to be in service to something greater we must take responsibility for our electrical system, our nervous system. Energetic hygiene is something we should learn from a young age, as it essential to our wellbeing just as any other hygiene. We should learn how to ground our energy. How to protect from and cleanse unsupportive energies. How to discern supportive energies from depleting or toxic energies. What supports our nervous system to channel powerful life force while staying present and embodied. How to have a resilient nervous system with the use of boundaries. How not to get victimized and disempowered through empathic hypersensitivity. The list goes on. With normalization these skills become second nature and sovereign wellbeing and authentic self expression result. This is how we become valuable contributors to co-creating a better world we know is possible. One person at a time. This is our mission, this kind of self-actualization. Learning these skills through personal felt experience is what we offer.
