What is Emotional Release Self Regulation - Amanae - Therapy?
This is a heart-based therapy that facilitates the release of deeply held emotions and clears the way for profound healing and personal discovery.
The technique is based on the activation and opening of points or ‘doorways’ throughout the body. These doorways serve as access points to the body’s deep wisdom.
The process invites you to engage with these points through your breath and awareness. By focusing on these areas, you can uncover and feel the emotions and sensations stored within. This mindful attention allows the body to express and release these feelings, fostering a deeper connection with yourself.
Through this bodywork, you will explore and experience the body’s innate ability to heal and transform. As you navigate different areas around your body, you may find new insights and clarity, leading to greater self-awareness and emotional freedom.
This journey not only addresses immediate physical and emotional concerns but also promotes long-term well-being and personal growth.
By embracing this heart-based approach, you open yourself to a transformative process that integrates mind, body, and spirit, ultimately guiding you towards a more balanced and harmonious state of being.
What Happens During A Session?
As you settle onto the massage table, your body is gently draped with a blanket for comfort and warmth, with only the areas receiving treatment left exposed. If lying down on the table is uncomfortable for you, we can explore alternative positions together.
We begin by directing your focus to either the chest or the upper back, activating the heart centre before addressing other points or 'doorways' along the body.
Throughout the session, we both engage in conscious breathing and presence, tuning into the specific area being worked on. It's common to experience a range of physical and emotional sensations, which can vary from person to person and from session to session.
Through the breath and heightened awareness, we explore new territories within the body where stored emotions and beliefs may be hindering the natural flow of energy. By embracing and acknowledging these sensations, we create space for them to be heard and released.
As we listen attentively, energies are allowed to flow freely, naturally releasing what is no longer needed. This process opens up space for fresh energy and insights, empowering us to live more fully embodied lives, rooted in the heart.
Throughout our sessions, I prioritize your comfort and well-being above all else. We proceed at your pace, honouring your individual journey and allowing you to dictate the rhythm of the experience. There's no pressure to achieve any particular outcome or meet predefined expectations. Instead, we approach each moment with an attitude of deep respect for the wisdom of your body.
My focus is on creating a nurturing environment characterized by gentleness, kindness, compassion, and love. Every step of the way, I strive to cultivate a space where you feel supported, understood, and accepted without judgment. This gentle approach encourages a profound sense of safety and trust, empowering you to explore your inner landscape with courage and openness.
By tuning into the subtle cues and signals of your body, we honour its innate intelligence and wisdom. We recognize that true healing unfolds organically when we align ourselves with the natural flow of your being. Therefore, we refrain from imposing our agendas or timelines, allowing the healing process to unfold in its own time and in its own way.
In essence, sessions are not merely about addressing symptoms or achieving specific outcomes; they are about fostering a deep connection with yourself and facilitating your journey toward wholeness and integration. It's a journey guided by your inner wisdom, supported by our presence, and imbued with the transformative power of love and compassion.
What Happens After A Session?
Following the session, you may notice a variety of sensations and emotions arise within you. You might feel a sense of deep relaxation and tranquillity, leaving you feeling calm and centred. Alternatively, you may experience a surge of energy and vitality, feeling invigorated and uplifted as the body's natural healing processes are activated.
Some of us may feel a bit tired or fatigued as the body integrates the shifts and releases experienced during the session, while others may feel a sense of spaciness or detachment as they recalibrate on a deeper level.
In order to support the ongoing healing process, it is highly recommended that you prioritize hydration by drinking plenty of water. This helps to facilitate the flow of energy throughout the body and aids in the detoxification process, ensuring that any residual toxins are efficiently eliminated.
Additionally, if possible, it is advisable to allow yourself some time to rest and relax following the session. Taking a moment to pause and honor the profound work that has taken place allows the body and mind to fully absorb and integrate the healing energies. Whether it's a brief period of quiet reflection or a more extended period of rest, giving yourself permission to unwind and decompress can greatly enhance the benefits of the session.
By nurturing yourself you provide your body with the resources it needs to continue the healing process and experience lasting transformation.
I would like to assure you that I am available to provide support and assistance after the session, should you need any further guidance or have any questions. I am here to support you on your healing journey.
