Secret Benefits of Bodywork Healing Revealed
The idea that touch can have significant therapeutic value, is far from being a new one. Some of the earliest actual documentation regarding touch for healing can be found in ancient Chinese texts dating back as early as 2598 B.C. In addition to the Chinese, bodywork is mentioned in Sanskrit writings, by the Greek physicians Hippocrates and Asclepiades who used it as one of their principle therapeutic modalities, by the Roman physician Galen who is said by scholars to have written at least sixteen books on the subject. In ancient times touch therapies were the medicine used to cure the body of its maladies. It was used as therapy for the healing affects were visible and often long lasting.
There is conventional wisdom that states without adequate tactile input, the human being would not thrive and would even perish. Touch is one of the key elements necessary for the successful development of the nervous system and is vital to our existence and overall health and sense of well-being. As we travel through life we have experiences that cause wounds ? to our heart, mind and spirit which cause stress and contraction in the body.
There is no sensation or emotion that is not translated into a muscular response of some kind ? therefore the body becomes the message giver. It reminds us through sensations of pain, discomfort and tension that we are holding the contracted energy created by our life experiences. The body asks that we look deeper into the cause of our discomfort which may be mental, emotional or spiritual so the root cause can be healed and the body released of its dis-ease.
The physical form is the vehicle with which we experience the journey of life. The body is the form in which the soul consciousness dwells during each incarnation. By working with the body we may be able to reach and release many long held contractions that may have come into the body when the soul energy entered the human form.
Hands on therapies, through tactile input, can offer the body the opportunity to make a new choice ? to be calmer, more flexible, more open and more at ease. Body work offers the opportunity to re-educate, re-program and through mindful awareness which may have not been visible prior to the therapy. When the body/mind/soul system is more fully integrated and the body relieved of its painful patterns it will be more resistant to dis-ease and be able to repair itself better in times of stress or injury.
Various ancient and contemporary forms of bodywork healing go well beyond the temporary relief of symptoms or the increase of relaxation and pleasure. Healing through touch therapies evokes chemical responses in the body, moves stagnant fluids and energy patterns and improves internal structural relationships. Bodywork has the potential to deeply alter and improve the overall health and well-being of the individual. These changes may be readily visible and long lasting. Touch therapies brings a heightened level of self-awareness, it is a direct and effective way to increase awareness within an individual ? without awareness positive, lasting change cannot occur.
In modern times the choices in bodywork therapies are wide and varied. They range from very deep work to extremely subtle therapies. All touch therapies can help with improved physical, mental and emotional health by relaxing the body, improving circulation, increasing awareness and allowing the body to make more ?intelligent? choices. Regular, consistent bodywork may allow the body to age in a more graceful and healthful way; encouraging the body to be maintained in its optimal state of health. Bodywork therapies can be very useful when used in conjunction with other healing approaches.
