TACTILE PERECEPTION

We use all our senses, our entire sensorium to navigate the outside world. But in our practice, we privilege the sense of touch. Our hands can discern the subtle motion of primary respiration, the overall state of health, the patterns of adverse experiences held in the body and how they compromise tidal motion. Those tactile images revealed to our hands are diagnostic and guide session work. Our hands can also feel how the organism responds to our touch. For instance, a shift in the autonomic tone to a parasympathetic state of calm or the letting go of a tissue memory and realignment of the tensegrity network of connective tissues or shift out of fluid stasis.

All of this if perception, which relies on the brain’s ability to interpret sensory information. Through persistent practice, we can expand our compendium of tactile images and grow our palpatory literacy, our ability to accurately interpret the messages that our clients’ bodies deliver to touch receptors in our hands. This is not guesswork, it’s not intuition, not the channelling of mysterious forces, it is simple the art of touch.

Update! I am assisting with a foundation training (two years, 10 four-day seminars, etc.), that I helped organize, inviting the Wellness Institute teachers I studied with in Washington DC in 2021-23 to teach in Austin.

It’s happening!! We’ve completed the first two seminars with a great group of students and assisting staff.

I have found it valuable to repeat any training that imparts so much new understanding. This will really date me, but it’s like watching The Wizard of Oz on TV year after year as a child and later as a teen and realizing with hindsight that my understanding of the story gained much more nuance with repetition.

There are frequent new “aha” moments to be experienced with this modality, and practice deepens my skills in hands-on perception of your life force and where it’s moving or inert, using this rapport to invite it to deepen your well-being.

I’ll be out of the office Friday, March 13, through Thursday, March 19. I still have a few openings on Monday, March 9, and Wednesday, March 11, in my West Lake Hills office, and Thursday, March 12, at my Wimberley office.

My practice has used sliding scale payments for over a year now, and it’s working well.

I’m offering a new client special (new to me or to biodynamic bodywork): three 50-minute sessions for $333 or three 80-minute sessions for $450.

I encourage my clients to check in before each session and several times for at least three days afterwards…paying attention to what you are sensing in your system and how you feel different.

You may notice your system feeling somewhat reorganized in a lighter, easier, more congruent way.

If you’ve been stressed for a long time, it may feel strange — I encourage you to slow down and enjoy it!

Regular sessions over time can reset your nervous system to be more relaxed.

A new study suggests humans can sense hidden objects without touching them, by detecting faint movements in sand. This unexpected form of “remote touch” challenges traditional ideas about how the sense of touch works.

I just added a 3-session package to my online scheduler. It’s intended for new clients, either new to craniosacral work or new to me, but anyone can use this package.

It often takes as many as 3 sessions for both our systems to get into the holistic shared state that is part of the magic of biodynamic bodywork, which works from the inside out.

The cost is $333, and I recommend using them all within 3-6 weeks.

Click the link below to purchase the package and then schedule your sessions. Hope to see you on my table!
