Over the last few years I have been holding introductory workshops and short demonstrations on Holistic Pulsing. It interests me to find that many people actually have get on the massage table and experience the pulsating rocking motion of their body’s natural rhythm to fully comprehend the amazing ability of Holistic Pulsing, even if it is only for three minutes or so. This therapy has the amazing ability of affecting the body mind deeply. Its gentleness can be overwhelming to some, its affects be far reaching even days after a session where people still feel the after affects of the rippling energy flowing through their entire body.
As mentioned before just three minutes on the table and having Holistic Pulsing has brought comments such as “I feel like crying!’, the rocking motion has obviously touched some memory held deep within the body. Arms and hands want to unwind themselves and release pent up energy. Legs and feet want to move, knowing they have been invited and allowed to explore past the boundaries set for them.
I find it an honour to be witness to the body mind expressions and love that the body is trusting enough to allow itself to move in the space created for it to explore.
This brings me to what is known as the Three Essentials of Holistic Pulsing – Awareness, Acceptance and Re-empowerment.
Awareness: is a state of conscious observation and presence. One of the aims of a Holistic Pulsing session is to encourage self-awareness for the client of their being and body mind stories - this is the accumulation of events and beliefs held within the body tissue. Awareness of what is happening in the body will assist the client to understand their choices and involvement required in their own healing process. The Pulser brings awareness to what is happening in the client’s body by asking questions about a particular blockage noticed.
Acceptance: This refers to the unconditional openness to how we are, without judgement, criticism, expectations, regrets or agendas. For the pulser is involves encouraging the pulsee to accept themselves and their process unconditionally, The Pulser is there just to bear witness and assist where required. . Strong emotions can flair up, anger, tears … its ok to experience these emotions they will be accepted by the pulser unconditionally, without judgement.
Re-empowerment: this is about encouraging self responsibility and recognising and honouring a person’s power in relation to themselves, their body and their life in general. Holistic Pulsing is a two way process that places every person in charge of their own choices in both healing and life. The pulser encourages self-responsibility in the client and models it him or herself by not taking responsibility for the pulsee in any way.
In other words the pulsee becomes aware of a block in their body, they can explored the issue further by talking to that feeling/tightness, asking what it needs/wants, the pulsee can acknowledge and accept the reasons for the feeling/tightness in their body, they are then have a choice to re-empower themselves by making a decision to do something about it – this process can even happen without a dialogue with the pulser – it can be an internal choice. This often happens when people get off the table and say to me, “What a wonderful experience, I received so many insights, I feel I can begin tp make some changes in my life about things I was too frightened to think about.” - I feel both privilege and humbled with the “ AHA’s “ expressed at the end of a session, it means that something quite profound happened for my client and reinforces with me personally the magic and depth of pulsing.
Embodying these core principals the Holistic Pulser can offer clients a unique space in which to connect with themselves. Holistic Pulsing is a truly beautiful nurturing modality because it allows others to experience their issues in a space of unconditional acceptance, non-judgement and allowance; it can often be a catalyst for powerful self-rediscovery and healing.
