I read an article recently saying that there may not be a cure for IBS but you could manage your symptoms with diet and avoid red flags…
I have a different proposition. I know of an incredible body work therapy called SHEN Therapy that can radically reduce symptoms of IBS, sometimes even getting rid of it for good.
Most people don’t realise how much their unresolved emotions are affecting their physical bodies. Slowly research is catching up with what body work therapists have known for a long time - that the body stores emotions. Not only does the body store emotions but the emotions emerge from within the body. Not the brain. More specifically they emerge from the human Biofield (often referred to as the energy system.)
The body can’t differentiate between a physical pain or an emotional pain. When it experiences either one, it contracts around the pain site. With a physical pain this involuntary action can be quite useful, but with an emotional pain, this action traps the emotion at the site it is emerging from. SHEN therapists know that specific emotions emerge from specific emotional centres (or chakras in Indian philosophy) down the torso. They are also stored at these specific locations. Whilst these emotions are trapped at these locations, they can cause an immense amount of distress, repeatedly until they are felt and released entirely.
In the case of IBS, a SHEN therapist will take a brief look at your history and be able to map out a treatment plan, which usually would consist of a minimum of 2 sessions spread out of 48 hours. They would specifically work at your solar plexus area and your Kath (or Sacral area) using very specific hand placements to help release the contractions or tensions in the area that are causing the symptoms of IBS. Sometimes a few more sessions are needed to fully release the contractions. The solar plexus and the Kath area of your torso are where we experience feelings of anxiety, fear, anger (solar plexus), shame, guilt, low self worth, lack of confidence (Kath). Releasing the tensions holding these kinds of feelings in place can be remarkably cathartic.
Once the contractions in this area of the torso are released and the emotions have dissipated, the digestive system can begin to function normally again. All the contractions down the colon have been released and allow for easier digestion all round.
Give SHEN Therapy a try, who knows, you might actually be relieved of your IBS symptoms once and for all. Send me a message if you'd like to know more.
