Why the need for Bodywork? In these times of ever faster pace of life people are beginning to realize that they have to give more attention to their physical well being in order to find relaxation from an increasing inner tension. Holistic, meditative bodywork meets this need in a unique and profound way. It is a tool to understand the human being via the body and the energetic processes therein. It attempts to free the body from limiting movement patterns and energy blocks and to integrate it into a new form. We create energy through breathing and metabolic processes and release this energy through movement (pulsation). Both are basic life processes. The amount of energy available to us and the way we deal with it determines how we cope with various situations in life. We can meet the challenges of life more efficiently if we have a higher energy level available. Then we can experience, among other factors, feeling more alive and energized. A basic insight of holistic bodywork is that body, mind and heart function as a unity. This means that our thoughts and our feelings affect our body and vice versa. There is a direct relationship between the energetic processes in our body and our aliveness. That is, the more alive we are the more energy is available to us. The body exists in present time; or at least most of it does. Yet those parts of our bodies that are uncomfortable, painful, or out of our awareness have a link to our past. There is unfinished business held in our bodymind and expressed in that part of our bodies. Where ever there is a part of our life that we have not lived, that impulse not followed, that feeling not felt, we store the unfinished energy in our bodies and isolate it with a layer or shell of fear. This capsule of fear needs to be respected. This is best done in a climate of love and acceptance. Chronic tension diminishes our energy level and blocks our aliveness. In our bodies this results in structural and postural misalignments and limiting movement patterns. Closely connected to this are unlived emotions and stuck thought patterns. We are limited in our mobility and expression on all levels, which can lead to chronic pain and physical sickness. Osho Rebalancing as holistic bodywork includes all levels to free these tensions so we can regain our full aliveness and joy of life.
