“Lack of contact with some part of your body means absence with some part of your personality” A. Lowen At a seminar on body therapy, the presenter suggested remembering your bodily reactions to various life events. My head started racing - “with fear, everything in my stomach shrinks, when I reach the boiling point and remain silent, my throat hurts. I can’t find a place for myself, my lower back begins to hurt,” etc. It seems that the body can be cured by eating a pill or anointing it with a magic ointment. But, in fact, the magic lies in the body, first of all, and not in the pill. And it all begins at the moment of conception. “At some point, a blackberry ball is formed and it begins to move along the fallopian tubes to the uterus. He could die in this pipe... This ball shrinks in response to any movement, as if threatening...” I listen to the presenter’s voice with a sinking feeling. She speaks so heartfeltly that even though you are no longer a blackberry ball, you feel this compression. “By the end of the first week, this cellular ball enters the uterus... The embryo is attracted to a certain place in the uterus... 80% of embryos do not survive... We are the chosen ones of existence , since they were able to survive among these embryos...” It turns out that all the basic properties of life are laid down in the first week. The need for relationship, the ability to resonate with the environment, the ability to move, sensitivity, compression and freezing. We sit and look into our bodies. We don't do anything. We just feel it. The left and right feet behave differently. The left one humbly accepts the instructions of the leader of the seminar and humbly obeys, and the right one is a rebel - the sole does not want to stand completely on the floor, the heel rises all the time. My shins somehow passed by, I don’t remember feeling anything. I felt my knees without touching them. The thighs are like two large pieces of meat, the pelvis is dancing something. The stomach expresses dissatisfaction that they do not take into account its needs and throw everything at it. The chest, like a forged gate, opens and closes freely, without creaking. The face was melting. I wanted to sleep. I couldn’t feel my fingers at all. “Touch me,” the body screams. What do we express through touch? What information can touching others convey? Am I touching myself? How do I feel? How do I touch things, myself, other people? How do I experience others’ touching myself? Is there such a need? How was physical contact carried out in my parents’ home? Do you want to change something in this area? - Do you touch yourself? - question to the client. And bewilderment in the eyes looking at you. The body is, for many, a secret behind seven seals, it is patient, it is silent. But, at some point, it starts screaming. Neck pain is stress associated with social tension. The brain is boiling - the upper body is overcharged. The lower the blocks, the worse a person solves vital issues of survival. The higher the blocks, the greater the stress when making contacts. When there is no life and your hands get cold. Thinking, feeling, doing and saying the same thing - maybe this is the formula for health.
