What is Community Bodywork? 

This is with the intention to allow everyone access to consistent care, creating foundational change for your body and life. Healing can be amplified in a group environment due to the collective healing vibrations. When we heal together, we break the delusion of separateness.

​

Community Bodywork can be a safe and reassuring way to receive bodywork, as the fully clothed treatments take place in an open room with other clients. It's a great way to take a short break from your busy life to treat yourself to some healing touch.

 

Why Community Bodywork?

 

Did you know? Your healing can be amplified in a group healing environment due to the collective healing vibration and the neurons in our brains! The Mirror Neuron helps us understand this further. These neurons provide a "mirroring" effect, so that one person's neurons actually mimic the behavior of the other person. When multiple people receive bodywork, the positive effects are shared and multiplied within the group. This is created through the neurological confirmation from the awareness of other clients receiving simultaneous treatments. This is the same reason why yawning, smiling and even crying can be "contagious". In essence, by experiencing this "mirroring" effect, Community Bodywork sessions allow us to become more connected.In community bodywork, we are also expanding our compassion for others. Albert Einstein wisely said: "A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." When we heal together, we break this delusion of "separateness" that Albert Einstein was talking about. The reasons most people seek treatment are for pain, depression, emotional issues, and various other forms of suffering. All of these symptoms serve to isolate us in one way or another. While peacefully resting alongside others doing the same, we acknowledge that we are all in this together, that we are not separate and ultimately when we are unified we can achieve and accomplish things far beyond what we could ever imagine on our own."

Chair Massage

 

Comfortable massage chairs are used to provide "mini-massages" in a group setting. Massages are proven to be very beneficial for the body and mind. Receiving massage helps the mind relax as the muscles release tension and soften. It also can decrease depression and anxiety. Massage can improve the immunity of the body by stimulating lymph flow. Positive endorphins are released during a massage which can improve mood.

​

Massage is a therapeutic tool  that uses the application of caring human touch. It is an inherently innate behavior for giving and receiving love, which all humankind wants and needs. The real purpose of giving massage is to foster more depth of feeling for one another in order to bring out the love that often lies buried beneath the pain of everyday suffering. It involves working and acting on the body with pressure – structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving, tension, motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearm, feet, or a massage device. Massage can promote relaxation and well-being. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Massage has survived and continues to evolve because it is the most fundamental means of giving care, affection and aid between human beings. Massage therapy promotes balance, maintains internal and external health, treats pain, increases circulation and expedites the healing of injured muscles.
