WORKING WITH THE 'MULTI-DIMENTIALITY' OF THE HUMAN POTENTIAL.......

The Integral Body -
Creating a coherence that is requisite of whole health and capable of preserving both age and Life. Karin Locher
Thomas Myers www.anatomytrains.com has brought our attention to the fascia’s integral part in ‘the body as one’; Joseph Pilates gave us precise vocabulary for attaining and maintaining our ‘whole body health’and a means to 'Return to Life'; Karin Locher has inspired 'The Integral Body' -the awareness, insight and application for working with the multi- dimentiality of the human potential.
Working with the neurmyofascia to create a 'whole' interconnected moving structure of tensegrity (in tensional integrity), reforms the 'dance' of tension and compression among the muscles, tissue, bones, systems and organs, and we become 'airborn' , a living structure held within itself, in space. This 'form' is free from the influence of gravitational pull and the chaos and decay of internal compression and stagnation.The tensegrity body has a living ‘space’ for the interweaving mechanisms of the body and the sliding layers of tissue within us to function , reside and communicate in synchrony and in harmony. It creates a 'weightlessness' and therefore an ease, a coherence that is requisite of health and capable of preserving both age and Life.
It is no wonder we can relieve both external and internal strain and pain, find our innate strength and reconnect to a wholeness in just one session!
But there is more, a phenomenal potential for healing on all levels. Through the body’s fascia we communicate not only to our entire anatomy but to the deepest parts of our psyche, for our whole ‘state of being’ and consciousness sits within these tissues. Once stirred, through integration, movement or touch, we are working with our whole consciousness, the state of mind within the body and the biology of our learnt beliefs.

So not only do we regain functional movement, reawaken dormant cells and pathways, experience movement potential and restore our equilibrium, but we realise and change the very cause that is limiting us. To use the words of Joseph Pilates we ‘Return to Life’!
