Learn the Language of Your Body in 10 Easy Steps

I use this exercise frequently in my Holistic Pulsing workshops; it allows the participant to become more sensitively aware of their body, to connect with it, sense the actual way it moves and the way it feels.

  1. Choose music that has some energy and variety to it, I like to play African drumming music (just one track for this exercise), you will find this type of music will really gets your energy and body moving.
  2. Stand in a relaxed position, close your eyes and look inward, take a few clear deep breaths and connect with your body as much as possible, breath deep into your tummy.
  3. Just spend a few moments noticing what it really feels like to be in your body, in this moment. Be aware of both pleasant and unpleasant sensations, notice any aches, pains, and tightness located in your body.
  4. Now begin moving with the music, starting with your feet and moving up through the legs, spine and shoulders to your head, shake each part of your body loose, taking your time moving the entire body until you being to feel a nice buzz of energy throughout your body.
  5. When the track comes to an end just stop, standing, lightly swaying.  Take your awareness of a specific part of yourself. Sense its shape, its function, and its feelings.
  6. If there is something you’d like to learn about that body part just ask… Feel your body and sense what is going on. Maybe some places are tight, some other relaxed. If you do feel tension, exactly how is the tension tugging; is it up, down, back?
  7. Don’t rush, listen to your body, what sounds can you hear? Is it a cry, a scream, laughter? What song is it singing… is the music fast, slow, happy, does the song have words?
  8. Notice the some other part of your body – just how do they feel? Do they feel alike? Visualise walking together with your partner, a young child, your father, how are you affected to your body?
  9. Let your body full permission to express itself, it may perhaps be in words, feelings, sounds, movement or images.
  10. Breathe slowly and deeply into the whole of your being, and observe what has changed.  When you find yourself ready to end, ground your awareness fully by taking three deep breaths.

What’s so transformative about gaining knowledge through our bodies is usually that the learning is deeply experiential and much more lasting. Enjoy your body-as-teacher, it holds deep wisdom and knowledge that it waiting to share with you, your job is to learn its language and connect.

Holistic Pulsing – a Gift to Reconnect Your Mind and Body

Holistic Pulsing is a simple, yet powerful body therapy. It feels good and is so deliciously relaxing and calming for the body and mind. The initial feeling after experiencing that first session can often be an overwhelming sense that something very deep has happened, as to what, you just can’t put your finger on it.. mmm?? You soon come to realise you have been offered a gift, with Holistic Pulsing you are given the opportunity to look within, to make a personal and powerful connection with your body and mind.

People come to expereince a Holistic Pulsing session for many reasons, they may be feeling emotionally blocked, stressed or have an intention to work on themselves, on the other hand many will often, quite simply, come out of curiosity because someone has suggested it to them. What ever the reason all realise the benefit in their body immediately, they sense the relaxation, the tension has lessened, and t.

Holistic Pulsing speaks for itself. Each and every experience is personal, profound and far-reaching. Physical tensions can be seen to melt from the face and the entire body of the person lying on the table as they soften and relax with flowing pulsing sensation. Past hurts and defences that have been carried for many years can finally be released, sometimes without mindful awareness,but with a deep releasing sigh.

The body never lies, it possesses a natural wisdom, it instinctively understands how to heal itself – Ultimately it is up to you, if only you will trust and to allow your body to do its work. Holistic Pulsing can help by providing the vehicle to make that connection.

Holistic Pulsing and Pregnancy

“Michelle performed several sessions of Holistic Pulsing with me during the course of my pregnancy, she has gentle hands and makes you feel secure, giving you the confidence to let  yourself go and completely surrender yourself to the experience.  I feel the sessions were beneficial during my pregnancy. I found that they had a calming effect and helped me relax as I have a tendency to be hyperactive at the best of times.. I also found Holistic Pulsing had an inspiring effect releasing many creative thoughts and ideas.”

Holistic Pulsing – A Centering and Grounding Body Therapy

“I find Holistic Pulsing to be one of the most centering and grounding bodywork therapies. It took me right out of my thinking mind into my body, sensations and awareness. A very here and now experience that lingers. Then there is the counselling and body dialogue aspect which allow you to go deeper into unresolved issues in a highly resourced state.”

A Profound Weekend Experience with Holistic Pulsing

“Dear Sally, Some time has now passed since my profound weekend experience. Firstly, I want to share that I think you possess outstanding teaching skills; particularly, your ability to relay information in a clear and concise yet creative way. Being dyslexic, this is a quality I can really appreciate – you make it look easy and uncomplicated. But the quality that struck me most is your incredible ability to “contain” and provide a safe and loving holding environment, one that has room in it for every person and their quirks with no judgement. I noticed this from the very first circle in which we sat and you demonstrated this wonderful ability again and again throughout the weekend in various ways. What a wonderful quality to have when working with a healing modality that involves literal holding – giving the term a whole new layer of meaning! I also found you to be very empathic and attentive to cues. For example, on the first day, when you demonstrated a pulsing session on me I had a profound experience. I felt so centred in my self that I was blissful. It was a very vulnerable moment for me: I felt like I was in a state of pure innocence and had an abundance of non-directional love which I was almost unable to contain. At the same time I was also disoriented and literally could not see anything other than a blur. Somehow you knew exactly how to respond for me to feel safe in my vulnerability and did so perfectly. You brought the children out in all of us and artfully managed to keep us from feeling any embarrassment around this. All in all, I found the whole weekend experience to be extraordinary. Thank you for an inspiring, relaxing, insightful and all round enjoyable pulsing weekend.”

I Took to Holistic Pulsing Like a Duck to Water

I took to Holistic Pulsing with the natural passion of a duck to water or a baby rocked in her mother’s arms. For me it is an intimate yet completely non-invasive, safe, soothing nurturance that encourages deep letting go through the many layers of holding in my bodymind. My survival stresses lay down their weary heads gladly and I am rocked, floated into a full sensation of wellbeing. A profound and valuable experience.”
