WHAT IS BODY ARMOURING 

 

A basic survival response to a traumatic experience, physical or emotional, is to ‘freeze’ or dissociate from the body (‘tonic immobility’) in order to minimise pain. Dr. Wilhelm Reich,  a psychotherapist and sexologist, was the first to describe this reflex phenomenon of self defence as 'Body Armouring'.

​

Unless there is enough maturity, consciousness or support to process negative emotions when they arise, they remain unprocessed  in the body causing emotional and physical toxicity and numbness. Back to top.

HOW TANTRIC BODYWORK WORKS

 

Deep tissue massage in combination with slow application of touch in a safe, sacred environment of trust and love,  allows the receiver to engage his or hers sense of feeling. This allows trauma to be accessed directly from the body releasing the emotion stored in the cellular memory.

 

Sexual energy is used to break down barriers of guilt, fear, shame etc., limiting cultural beliefs and release emotional pain. It ignites the body's self-healing mechanism and facilitates balance physical, emotional and mental balance.

​

The receiver is encouraged to use Tantric breathing (explained during our session) to stay present in the body in order to feel and transform all that has been suppressed.  This process shifts the neurological pattern,  breaking the mind-body cycle allowing new brain pathways to happen and therefore overcoming past trauma.

​

A combination of de-armouring  and emotional release techniques are effective in transforming stagnant barriers, belief systems of fear, guilt, sadness etc. and self imposed, cultural or social limitations. This release of emotional pain that has been trapped in the body opens up the flow of Life force energy activating the self healing process. Back to top.
