As a young child, one of my clients learnt to dissociate when her parents were arguing. When I first started treating her, and didn’t understand the dissociation model I now work with, we both thought the sessions were productive because she consistently reported a warm, floating quality. A space where her body did not constrain her.

However, her symptoms never changed.

It took me over a year to work out what was going on. Her healing started when she made friends with her ‘boring’ body.

Most people dissociate most of the time, and the pleasant, dream-like quality in dissociation is often confusing. Dissociation is surprisingly common and people frequently enjoy being dissociated. Being in a body is hard work. It is a constant negotiation to clearly map the size, shape and weight of the body.

Many people can misinterpret the dreamy floaty quality of dissociation as an expansive, spiritual, healing experience. I have treated many long term meditators, yoga teachers and spiritual searchers. The relationship to the body offered through an understanding of trauma and dissociation has been surprising and beneficial for many of them. It is essential to not be too quick to let go of the body.

Before we can transcend our body we have to have a body.

For most of us there is a lifetime of work involved in exploring our flesh.

Deepening into our bodies is the necessary step that allows us to widen our perceptual horizons and drop into deeper tides and stillness. It is true that the sense of the body can become much more diffuse and fade into the background. However the form is never lost, as in dissociation, and is always available for our return.

The problem of pain and trauma is that our brains and nervous systems are like the worst back seat driver ever - always predicting danger and always trying to overprotect.

That’s why I work with embodied approaches to ease trauma, and my preferred tool is Trauma and tension Releasing Exercises (TRE).

TRE® is a simple set of exercises that trigger a natural tremor reflex in the body. It is a safe, natural process to re-boot overprotective reflexes.

Think of shaking as a reboot to the nervous system. In stress and trauma our brain defaults to old, habitual, protective patterns. Involuntary shaking is a burst of good news from the shaking muscles direct to the central nervous system. The signals generated when tremoring actively create new neural pathways inside the brain.

There are three main things going on when we teach TRE:

1. Education that people are not ‘mad, bad or broken’. Helping people understand how primitive protective reflexes work is very powerful. Education is an effective tool for change.

2. Training in mind-body interaction. We teach how to relate to intense feelings in a grounded and self-regulated way. TRE is about releasing tension and about 'waking the body up'. Shaking is used to support connection and find safety. There is a deep acknowledgement of dissociative states and a long, slow journey to embodied safety.

3. Shaking is a novel and interesting stimulus to a stuck organism. Sometimes its quite wonderful to let primitive reflexes run your body and to learn how to go into and out of shaking. In the right context, the feelings generated by shaking can be a powerful stimulus to come out of old, fixed habits. New stimuli, approached with safety and curiosity, can support learning and growth.

A great way to begin your exploration of TRE is by joining an intro day, where we teach a simple, accessible toolkit to help you deal with the challenges of these times. See the link in my bio to find out more about my upcoming trainings.

My goal as a bodyworker is to help people - whether they are working with trauma, pain or anxiety - is to reconnect to a sense of wholeness and include more in their sense of self.

Embodiment is key to this process - when we feel at home in the space bounded by the skin, we feel less defended and fragmented in our internal world, and more connected to the flows, movements, resources and aliveness inside of us.

This in turn allows us to feel safer to connect to others, to nature, to mystery, to all of life that isn’t human, and to a richer experience of being alive.

One of the important connections I’ve seen in my clinic work and research about the connection between embodiment and health is this: when we can’t feel, it’s hard to heal

To truly feel the size, shape and weight of our body is surprisingly tricky - I see this in my clinic work often. The struggle to map our bodies is predictive of poor outcomes when it comes to our experience of pain, anxiety and trauma.

In trauma, many people dissociate, shut down, or immobilise to protect themselves. Although this gesture of disconnecting is useful, necessary and enables us to survive traumatic situations, it means we can lose contact with the size, shape and weight of our bodies and it can be hard to return to the body.

Over the years, I’ve seen that maintaining a thread of good connection with the body predicts good outcomes when it comes to health.

Embodiment tools form a key focus on my two-year Art of Touch biodynamic craniosacral therapy (BCST) training. If you’d like to explore this approach to safe, relational touch either to add a new modality to your work as a health professional, or as well as a way to start a career in an exciting and evolving therapy, please see the link in my bio.

About Sahaja Yoga
Sahaja Yoga Meditation was developed by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. It involves awakening a subtle spiritual energy known as the Kundalini, which lies dormant in three-and-a-half coils in the sacrum bone at the base of the spine. The gentle awakening of this Kundalini energy and the inner journey of self-discovery is known as Enlightenment (Self-realisation).

Sahaja means 'spontaneous' or 'born with you'; Yoga translates to 'union' (with the Divine or all-pervading power). Sahaja Yoga Meditation then translates to 'the method of divine union through yoga which everyone is born with.' Sahaja Yoga Meditation is for anyone who desires to find his or her true self, which is full of joy, peace, and love. It is not just a book or a set of exercises but a living science that will open up to you gradually as your meditation becomes more profound and your experience stronger and more fulfilling.

Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes are held in over 100 countries worldwide and are always provided free of charge. Right from the early days, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi made it clear that this knowledge and the process of union effected by our Self-realisation is the birthright of every human being and, therefore, cannot be charged for.

Sahaja Meditation is an official partner of the UNESCO Centre for Peace.

your body remembers more than you think!🪽🦋🦋🦋🦋

Every tension, every held breath, every closed posture is often an echo of emotions that were once suppressed , pushed deep inside....

Gentle ,soft touch has extraordinary power.
Sometimes a single light touch can stir something that cannot be described in words. Our bodies store memories and experiences – even those we have long forgotten.but when we allow ourselves to truly feel, the body begins to speak.

🦋 The Butterfly Touch bioenergetics is an encounter with gentleness and presence.

It is based on subtle, conscious touch that activates the internal flow of energy and restores the balance between body and mind. It is not about strength – but about gentleness that opens up space for peace, comfort and deeper contact with oneself.

This gentle touch can dissolve tension, unblock emotions and restore lightness – in the body, in the heart, in life.
Each gesture becomes an invitation to encounter your own story – to heal, understand and regain harmony.

💜 Allow yourself a moment of silence and gentleness.

Book a Butterfly Touch session and experience how little it takes to feel more....
