Support.

Support is one of the five principles of Rolfing.

Earlier, we explored adaptability, palintonicity and holism.

One of the definitions of support is “to bear the physical weight of something.” Or “to hold up.”

In Rolfing, we pay a great deal of attention to the feet and pelvis. Both anatomical landmarks must supply and offer support for all that lies above.

We try to create a balanced and horizontal pelvis, thus creating support for the spine, shoulder girdle, neck, and head.

We want your feet to not only provide support for everything above, but also to provide a sense of “lift” for your whole body. We want feet that are adaptable, solid, and fine-tuned. After all, everything above is reliant on steady support from your feet!

Over the years, I have also come to believe that it isn’t always about what is below supports what is above. As I mentioned before, Rolfing is holistic. Intervention in one area can have profound effects throughout your entire body.

Free and pliable arms can provide support for your pelvis to move more freely.

A steady and balanced head and neck can provide support for your spine to be more pliable.

Loose and balanced legs can create support for your feet to realign, finding better orientation.

Regardless, support is an essential component of the Rolfing process. As your Rolfer, I am always looking to find new ways for you to feel and embody support in your body.

When it is found and felt, you may feel less pain, more at home in your body, and more at peace.

July marks my 23rd. year of being your Rolfer.

I am eternally grateful to have this opportunity to work with you.

It is deeply satisfying to help others become pain free, become more at home in their bodies, and feel more at peace.

I am still humbled and in awe at how powerful and effective Rolfing can be.

If you ever have any questions about Rolfing in general, or my practice in particular, please let me know.

Here’s to 23 more years! :)

In my latest blog post, I explore the questions: What creates really good Rolfing sessions? What are the ingredients that create fundamentally great Rolfing?

First and foremost, there is the hands-on work. That’s where I come in.

Yet, what other ingredients can you, my client, bring to a Rolfing session?

I can do a lot to help you, but for the work to be even deeper, more effective and long lasting, there are a myriad of things you can do to help.

True healing is a collaborative partnership. We are creating this amazing recipe together. :)

Enjoy!

rolfingseattle.net book club.

I recently finished the book Attuned by, Thomas Hubl.

It is a powerful read.

The book lays out how we are inherently able to be attuned with one another, how we have lost this natural ability, and how we can regain it.

When we are attuned with another person, we can sense and feel their history, psycho-emotional state, and traumatic wounds.

To do so, we need to tend to our own potential and our own shadows. When we do this, we can connect more deeply with one another, and this is where healing happens.

Hubl passionately explains the necessity of this resonance for our personal, ancestoral, and collective healing.

He provides a variety of meditations and mindfulness exercises to help one become better attuned with themselves and others.

During this time of great upheaval, disconnection and alienation, it is safe to say that we could all benefit from being in better relationship with our fellow human beings.

We need this connection to heal and for our species to survive.

I highly recommend this book.

Happy Pride weekend everyone!

Rainbows are formed when light is refracted.

We all emanate the same light.

Everyone of us just reflects the light a bit differently.

I am grateful to work with the LGBTQIA+ community since 2003.

Know that you are safe and welcome here.

Again, Happy Pride! :)

There’s nothing like reading a good book in the summer.

The other day, I was reading a lovely new book of fiction.

About a half hour into reading I realized I was fully immersed in this new world and felt at peace, with my body and mind at ease and relaxed.

I remembered once again how much I love to read.

I wondered, what is it about reading that feels so good? Here are some interesting facts:

When we read our cortisol (a stress hormone) can drop up to 68%.

We can enter a meditative state which calms our nervous system and simultaneously focuses our mind.

Our entire mind is utilized. New and vast neural pathways open up, helping cognitive function and curtailing cognitive decline.

It builds empathy. Seeing and feeling a new world through the eyes of another person opens us up to the complexity and beauty of another soul.

And, it’s just plain fun! :)

Next time you find yourself with a good book this summer, take a moment to appreciate how nourishing it is for your body, mind and soul.

Adaptability.

Adaptability is one of the 5 principles of Rolfing.

Earlier we explored palintonicity and holism.

Being adaptable means having the ability to maintain balance and equilibrium despite external stressors.

Often times, clients come to see me when they are in pain. Usually this means their body is no longer adaptable. Perhaps their posture, ways of moving, thinking and or feeling have become too static. This can lead to dysfunction and pain.

Ideally, at the end of some sessions, not only are you feeling less pain, but you are more adaptable.

This can mean more freedom of movement, a feeling of groundedness, more resilience with stress, and perhaps a quicker recovery from injury or intense physical exercise.

We want a body, psyche and soul that is pliable, fluid, and resilient. We can then move and sway with the sometimes subtle, and other times intense, chaotic winds of life.

We want to bend but not break.

Palintonicity is one of the 5 principles of Rolfing.

Earlier I discussed Wholism.

Palintonicity in Rolfing seeks to create span and expansion in all the various planes of your body. From the base of your feet to the very top of your head.

In the sagittal plane (Front/Back) Rolfing seeks to find balance between your front and your back. We want to make sure neither one is more dominant than the other, or one more collapsed or rigid than the other. We want equal span for both.

With the frontal plane (Left/Right) we are looking to create equal span and expansion on both sides of your body.

The transverse plane is more about rotation. This is where we want to find the natural torque, spiral and undulation of your body in walking. We want all of this to happen around the vertical line of your body. This is often referred to as contralateral movement.

Palintonicity seeks balance in all dimensions of your body. Where your body feels whole and integrated, rather than disorganized and disconnected.

This principle, in tandem with others, helps bring your body back into structural alignment. Here you can become pain free, be more at home in your body, and feel at peace.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to do a Rolfing demo for a group of psychotherapists at Mindful Springs Counseling here in Seattle.

What a wonderful group!

It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the effectiveness of Rolfing and how it has evolved over its 50 plus years of existence.

The person I was working on, and all those who attended left with a better understanding of how Rolfing can help you become pain free, become more at home in your body, and feel more at peace.

If you know of any wellness, healing and or movement groups who would be interested in having me come in and give a demo, please let me know!

More people deserve to know about the benefits of Rolfing.

In my latest blog post I explore the evolution of Rolfing.

I have seen Rolfing help countless people become pain free, become more at home in their bodies, and feel at peace.

At the same time, there is some confusion about what Rolfing is and how it is done.

Rolfing has evolved in many ways over its 50 plus years of existence.

The goals of Rolfing remain the same.

To organize and realign the body to achieve a more balanced relationship with gravity.

The ways in which Rolfers achieve these goals have changed.

A wide variety of techniques and modalities are now used to achieve the goals of Rolfing with profound results.

Enjoy!
