Realign your spine with Network Care
Your spine holds some of your best kept emotional secrets. It carries an encyclopedia of information about you. Network Care, a body centered treatment that focuses on your spine, helps reorganize and release your body’s stored stresses - emotional and physical – so you can use that misspent energy to create the life you want.
We all know phrases like, “I’ve had it up to here”, “It’s water under the bridge”, ”It’s all behind me now”, and “the monkey on my back”. These statements describe emotional events in our life. AND they also refer to our back, our spine.
In times of great stress our body has no choice but to disconnect. It does so by creating misalignment of the joints of the spine. While disconnecting serves us in our time of need, some parts of our body remain disconnected from events that happened years before.
Your spine is the central pillar of health - all the nerves running to and from the brain have to enter and exit via spaces between the joints of the spine at every level. The brain and nerves form an essential information highway managing all the body functions. The muscles that support the spine form the center of body movement and power. When the joints of the spine misalign it reduces our body’s ability to heal itself and lowers our quality of life.
Often we can’t feel these areas of disconnection. The muscles near these areas of misalignment are where we store stress. We all have unique patterns of how we deal with stress based on how we disconnected in the past. These patterns can be seen in our posture or read in our body language because they form patterns of muscle tension in the spine. The patterns not only limit the flexibility of the spine where the tension is excessive, they also reduce our emotional range. They limit how much we can feel and how much we can express.
Network Care helps clients connect to their body and release stored stress patterns. On each visit I find the areas of stored tension corresponding to past emotional events. An appropriate light touch to the area helps the clients’ awareness and breath connect to the tension. This connection allows the body to release the excess energy stored in the area. With regular visits, the clients’ body not only releases the tension, it reorganizes it into something the body needs now. This changes how the client experiences similar emotional stresses in the future and breaks the pattern of “dealing with it” by storing it. The client becomes more spontaneous in that area of their life and can make better choices for their future.
We all know who we are on the inside, but often we feel we have to live according to people and events on the outside. Wellness is about living in congruence with our inner experience. By releasing patterns of stored emotion we can feel our life and respond to it more effectively.
Clients report feeling safer and centered in their body. They feel more spontaneous and expressive towards their challenges. They come to understand that wellness isn’t just about feeling better, it’s about better feeling.
What I love about Network Care is that it honors the client where they are at in their life. As clients start to release emotional patterns their personalities bloom. Because they feel more they make different choices and act on them. They start to empower their lives in a way that expresses their unique gifts. It’s transformational and exciting to be a part of.
