WHAT IS MIND BODY & BOWEN?
Listening To The Body
The Mind Body connection along with the Bowen Technique is a powerful combination where the bowen therapist listens to the body's responses and reported sensations to determine the best course of action for the client - both for trauma and emotional release and any connected physical healing. It allows the client to be in a safe comfortable space using Mind Body and Bowen techniques to respond and release stress areas, bringing about relaxation and calmness to often long-term conditions.
The inherent self-healing intelligence of the body uses sensations as a means of communication. Anyone familiar with Bowen Therapy will know of the pauses a therapist allows between each sequence of 'moves' to allow the body time to respond and release muscular tensions. It is during these pauses that the client is directed to become aware of any sensations felt in response to the Bowen moves just performed. By taking note of precisely where these sensations may be felt, priorities for the treatment session are indicated and followed by the therapist. By acknowledging the wisdom and innate intelligence of the body, the practitioner enhances and deepens the experience and practice of the Bowen Technique for the client.
Traditional medicine and energy concepts such as the Chinese meridians, Chakras and the energy field surrounding the body will be observed and their links to muscles groups and Bowen Therapy procedures will be explored for an amazing release of stored emotional and trauma issues in the physical body.
The body remembers what the mind forgets - J.L. Moreno
Our bodies are dynamic entities in a continual state of change. Orchestrating the body is an innate intelligence or self-healing mechanism, which uses signs and symptoms as a means of communication. It is important to understand that this intelligence has its own way of functioning according to its own parameters and, for us to establish dialogue or communication, we must first learn to 'listen'. Sensation is the language of the body.
(Spicer & Schubert)

WHAT TO EXPECT
It is important to note that every experience and outcome is unique to the individual. But at times some incredible emotional releases and other results occur as a result of the treatment, such as:
Release of unresolved stress or trauma
Emotional release
Regression to the birth memory/experience and release of related emotional trauma
Past life recollection (that often relates a current situation) and release of related physical and/or emotional issues
A more balanced system with better sleep patterns and more vitality
Improved function and regulation of all vital organs and digestion
