"The body is the shore of the ocean of being" - Sufi
Body Listening & Healing
Ortho-Bionomv® founder Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls understood that our emotional and mental state directly
affects our physical and energetic body. Unresolved trauma from an emotional or physical injury can be
held in the body.
Ortho-Bionomy's respectful and attentive "body listening" approach allows for this energy to release
not forced in any way, but on your own terms and timing.
Healing comes from within. Our patterns - whether energetic, physical, or postural - are a symptom of
something deeper. When the root cause is resolved, our intelligent body rebalances itself, often
immediately.
How Ortho-Bionomy® Is Different
Principle-Based, vs. Protocol-Based
Ortho-Bionomy methods do not use force to manipulate and honor the body's unique timing. This principle-based approach often leads to unexpected connections related to client issues.
Cultivating Presence
Practitioners are trained to monitor awareness of self and client, cultivating presence and a space of curiosity and possibility.
Process-Oriented
While goals are often reached, Ortho-Bionomy is process-oriented rather than goal-oriented, allowing for deeper healing to unfold naturally.
Client-Centered Collaboration
The practitioner works With' rather than 'on the client, a collaboration that allows you a greater sense of autonomy over your healing process.
Somatic Clearings
When we work with somatic clearings we unearth the roots of our particular issues via body sensations.
This way of working helps us gently release the "charge" associated with unresolved events or trauma
held in our nervous system.
The result is freedom from habitual or triggered responses, feelings of inner peace, and reduction of
chronic pain. Somatic clearings help us feel more connected and grounded to our Self, our inner
guidance, and foster clearer perspective. This is a complimentary method in along side of the Bodywork.
Somatic clearings can help with: anxiety, relationship concerns, addictions, fears and phobias,
weight issues, low self esteem, clarity of purpose, long-standing health issues, financial uncertainty.
This is truly loving ourselves - and it is a privilege to accompany those in this sacred work of discovery.
