Transformational Bodywork

The torus as a flow process exhibits a set of characteristics that evolution biologist, Elisabet Sahtouris, has identified as features and principles of healthy living systems. Through her study of living systems (ecosystems, for example), she has observed that when these features are present, the system is balanced and whole. When these features become compromised or absent, the system goes out of balance and becomes dysfunctional and corrupted to the point that it will either collapse completely, transform into a new balanced state, or restore its balance again by restoring the appropriate presence and functioning of these features.

These features apply “from cells to organisms, ecosystems to Earth, bodies to businesses.”

The features of healthy living systems that Sahtouris identified are:

1. Self-creation (autopoiesis)

2. Complexity (diversity of parts)

3. Embeddedness in larger holons and dependence on them (holarchy)

4. Self-reflexivity (autognosis/self-knowledge)

5. Self-regulation/maintenance (autonomics)

6. Response-ability to internal and external stress or other change

7. Input/output exchange of matter/energy/information with other holons

8. Transformation of matter/energy/information

9. Empowerment/employment of all component parts

10. Communications among all parts

11. Coordination of parts and functions

12. Balance of Interests negotiated among parts, whole, and embedding holarchy

13. Reciprocity of parts in mutual contribution and assistance

14. Efficiency balanced by Resilience

15. Conservation of what works well

16. Creative change of what does not work well

Tuning ever more deeply into my heart. Encountering there layers of numbness and frustration and grief, and while this might not sound pleasant to be with;

I celebrate my ability to feel!
To acknowledge whats real.

Staying with and expressing some of these more challenging feelings, led me to a lightness and joy organically. Bit by Bit Allowing myself to receive the light and joy and into my heart, I could feel it expanding, becoming more full and free.

Today I celebrate my expanded capacity to be with all parts of myself!

I am excited to share the evolution of my bodywork practice that
Includes getting to the root of dis-ease, addressing the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.

Sessions available in person and online.

Beauty and Blessings,

Melanie

“Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.”

If we don't pay attention to our bodies, our bodies will make us pay attention.
