I am trained as a Rosen Method bodywork practitioner. It’s something that I found extremely helpful. Rosen Method teaches that many of our experiences, especially traumatic ones from childhood, are held in the body. They could be held as chronic muscle tension or as a physical layer of protection or in some other form. Some feelings in childhood are so overwhelming that we need to keep them unconscious. The body remembers and stores them, however. The body continues to hold these feelings until it feels safe to experience them. Then the body can begin to let go of them. <br /><br />This is not scientific, of course. Rosen Method is a compassionate practice with a broadly spiritual core. Here is something I wrote about it: http://bit.ly/s6hWaF <br /><br />I can easily imagine that this might not seem like a very appealing thing to do. I recommend a book called Bodywork by Thomas Claire (I found it in my local library). It has a chapter on Rosen Method. When I read the first paragraph of that chapter about 15 years ago, I knew I had to find out more. I found the practice so helpful that I went on to become a practitioner. There are also some other books about Rosen Method listed on this page: http://bit.ly/uF5gYp <br /><br />I don’t mean to push this. It has to be right for you, and it has to be the right time. Let me know if there’s anything more you’d like to know from me. We could discuss offline.Jan Hendersonhttp://www.thehealthculture.comnoreply@blogger.com
