ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Understanding Connection & Blockages in Yoga, Massage & Touch
INTRODUCTION
This 5-day workshop offers the student a COMPLETE INTRODUCTION to working with a type of energy to be found in the physical body – known as SUBTLE ENERGY – in holistic massage and touch therapy.
There are 8 different types of subtle energy in the body: Emotional energy, Mental energy, Sexual energy, Spiritual energy, Environmental energy, Energy from other people Familial/ancestral energy, and Karmic energy. Yet each one has a specific property or characteristic, such as hot or cold, heavy or light, energizing or tiring and is of a certain element, such as air or water and each one causes a specific physical manifestation when present in the body.
For example, the emotional energy of anger, which is air in element, causes dryness in the body, causing specific muscles to harden, in this case, the trapezius and jaw muscles, whereas the energy of love creates warmth, softness and openness.
For our PHYSICAL BODIES to be healthy and happy, there needs to be a state of BALANCE in the subtle energies within our ENERGY SYSTEM. A little bit of everything, as it were. A little bit of hard, a little bit of soft. A little bit of hot, a little bit of cold. An imbalance in subtle energy, for example in having too little of one energy and too much of another, causes a parallel imbalance in the physical condition of the body. For example, not enough love and too much fear create a physical body in which there is not enough warmth and softness and too much cold, heaviness, tiredness and contraction.
By understanding this process and the CONNECTION between subtle ENERGYand the physical BODY, the student learns that in MASSAGE, for instance, when trying to treat a client with an imbalance in subtle energy, such as in the manifestation of hardness, tightness or contraction in the muscles, it is much more effective to treat the imbalance in energy in the client than it is to treat them with a school-learnt basic massage routine, which does not normally address the client’s imbalance in their subtle energy.
PROGRAM
1. What is energy? What does it feel like? What effects does it have on the body? Tuning in to your own energy & the energy of another person (Hands-on). Scanning and reading the energy of another person (Hands off). Interpreting and understanding the signals you pick up from energy.
2. Discover the energy that we naturally use: It is easier to use the energy you are naturally strong in, than trying to achieve something in your massage practice that is not natural to you.
3. The development of the energy connection between therapist and client in a massage:
Taking-on bad energy and the use of protection. How to separate your energy from that of your client and set healthy boundaries.
4. Types of therapeutic and energetic touch: Use different types of energy in your touch to bring deeper healing to your client. The Top 10 energetic needs of clients.
5. Emotional Energy: Full anatomies of the 5 most commonly found emotions (Fear, Anger, Sadness, Loneliness and Guilt) in clients and their effects on the body. The stages of an emotional release during a massage session.
6. The effects that the energies of other people in your life can have on your body
At work – In relationships – At home.
7. Energy-based meditation: Develop a deeper, more healing, more intuitive touch in your practice.
8. Why certain parts of your body do not open/soften in yoga or massage:
Full anatomy of 20 energetic blockages (emotional, mental, spiritual, sexual, ancestral) which can form in your life and manifest in your physical body, such as closed hips, tight hamstrings, tightness in the chest etc.
9. Sexual energy: The (mis)uses of sexual energy in massage and healing, and how to keep your own sexual energy healthy.
FACILITATORS
ROBERT HENDERSON
– Energy Teacher & Spiritual Healer –
Robert Henderson is a writer, energy teacher and spiritual healer. His books It’s All My Parents’ Fault and Emotion and Healing in the Energy Body are powerful descriptions of healing, self-discovery and self-empowerment.
Drawing on his own experiences of family hurt, self-healing and helping others through their own hurt, Robert believes that the power in writing is not in the words you use, but in the energy of the words you use and if your words contain the energies of truth and proven accomplishment in them, then the message they impart and the effect they have on the reader is extremely powerful.
