Bad body posture, repetitive movement patterns, computer work and the assorted injuries that happen to us over the years all create subtle and not so subtle imbalances, tilts and twists throughout our body. This in turn creates tension lines that manifest as chronic aches and pain. And they often persist no matter what we try. Rolfing (Structural Integration) is a truly amazing type of hands-on body work that detects those complex postural imbalances and eliminates them step by step. Rolfing is not chasing the symptoms but is bringing order and balance to the entire body structure head to toe. The results can be astonishing.

COLD LASER TREATMENTS in combination with trigger point treatment and structural bodywork are very effective for chronic pain conditions. You will see results with just a few sessions.
Cold laser brings regeneration at the cellular level, acceleration of tissue healing and very effective pain reduction. This form of therapy uses low level coherent light in the red and infrared spectrum to accelerate the healing of wounds, regenerate nerve tissue, reduce inflammation, balance the chemistry of the body and effectively decrease acute and chronic pain.
Laser light induces photo-biological processes at the cellular level and initiates myriad beneficial processes in the nervous, immune, circulatory and hormonal systems.
Laser sessions by itself can be short. 15min to 30min are enough to deliver a sufficient amount of light for one treatment. Multiple sessions might be necessary for the improvement of a chronic condition.

This is a fascinating article about fascia, the 3 dimensional matrix of our body that organizes our body into one functional, resilient, stable yet flexible unit and constitutes the physical elements for self awareness.

MY NEW WEBSITE IS UP!!! YEAAYYYYY :-)
After having been a little frustrated with my professional website a friend convinced me that I can make a new one from scatch myself. Then I sat in front of the computer quite a few times and couldn't bring myself to start the damn tutorial video.....I hate learning new things from videos! Eventually, I watched it and then started to work on my site. And then it turned into fun! And now it is ready and up and runnnnning!!!...

Thank you Pallavi Naidu for being the persuasive initial inspiration and thank you Paula Gignac for always being such a great tech support friend and thank you Rafiq for being open to trading professional editing for bodywork :-)

I am very happy about the final result :-))....have a look:

This article is not just about psychiatry. It is about the fact that our physical body has a powerful innate self-healing capacity and that any illness has as well a personal spiritual meaning. All pharmaceuticals have a detrimental effect on that spiritual process. I agree with the author: its time to act upon what we came to experience as the truth on our own path of healing and integration.

After the passing of Michael Stone, Kelly Brogan, MD writes an open letter to those in the spiritual community and the truth about psychiatry.

In our habitually hectic daily life there is very little space for the awareness that any negative thought or feeling desynchronizes the body’s organ function energy flow/circulation pattern. In acupuncture they are referred to as organ meridians. These energy flow/circulation patterns are more responsive than the central nervous system and far more rapid than the autonomic sympathetic nervous system.

Characteristically, most people “blow out” one particular organ function energy flow rather than another. For example, every time they have negative thoughts and feelings, they may impair the heart function flow. As the months and years go by, every single time they have a resentment, go into self-pity, or criticize someone else, it disrupts the energy and flows down the heart circulation pattern. This depletes the life energy of the heart and the continual repetition begins to alter its physiology in very delicate ways. Many more years of the habitual disruption of the heart energy flow pattern brings impairment on the physical level, which is an expression of what has been held in mind continuingly over a longer period of time.

The body expresses a person’s habitual way of thinking.

I often find in my practice that symptoms of chronic pain are located along a specific organ energy flow circulation pattern which shows the complex interweaving of mind and body quite clearly. Hands-on bodywork such as massage can alleviate these symptoms but the application of Jin Shin Juytsu goes deeper and addresses the underlying mental-emotional causes such as fear, worry, anger, sadness and striving.

Through harmonizing the energy flows/circulation patterns we affect the system in many ways. The path ways of the energy flows are getting corrected (imagine a riverbed being restored to its original route), our habitual negative thought patterns are getting dissolved step by step and thus we augment the self-healing capacity of our physical body.

Jin Shin Jyutsu ® Ancient Art Of Harmonizing Emotions, Mind And Body

Jin Shin Jyutsu is nothing less than the precise knowledge about how energy becomes matter, how it starts to form our physical body, branches out and becomes blood, bones, tissue, organs, everything. There are 26 energetic centers on each side of the body, 12 organ flows and many other pathways throughout the body.
Jin Shin Jyutsu is a hands-on therapy that balances the underlying energy or life force that vitalizes the physical body and our entire being. Our bodies contain a complex system of energy pathways that feed life into all our cells. When one or more of these paths become blocked, this damming effect may lead to illness and pain on the physical, emotional or spiritual level. These blockages or stagnations will not only disrupt he local area but will continue and eventually disharmonize the complete path of the energy flow.
Treatment involves the application of the hands for balancing specific flows of life energy in the body (similar to acupuncture only without needles) and thus activating our self-healing capacity. Like many ancient healing systems, it is founded on the principle that in order to heal the body, one must strengthen and harmonize the flow of life energy within.
Jin Shin Jyutsu is very helpful for any imbalance in body, mind and soul: Lack of energy after a long illness, stomach pain, diabetes, constipation, insomnia, headaches, feeling stuck in life, not feeling quite yourself, dizziness, hormonal imbalances, etc. etc. It is helpful in all cases of acute or long-term illness and chronic pain. It also can help with releasing emotional burden such as depression, sadness or grief. It brings more mental clarity, re-connects us to our true self and harmonizes all relationships within and without.
As an added bonus you will take home a few easy to do self-help applications to continue the healing process. The results can be truly amazing.

These are before/after photos of a friend who suffered from intense sciatic nerve pain for months ( and obviously from a severe misaligned body structure due to playing the guitar way too many hours for weeks/months). I only had ONE WEEK to work with him but we reached a significant improvement toward a better alignment and a big decrease of sciatic pain.
