Bach Flower Essence Therapy

What is it?

The Bach Flower Essences are a system of 38 Flower Essences that correct emotional and mental imbalances, by restoring negative emotions and thought patterns with positive. The Bach Flower Essences are 100% safe and natural, therefore safe for children, pregnant women, pets and elderly alike.

The modern tradition of healing with flowers began with Edward Bach, an English physician. In the early 1930s, Dr. Bach discovered that many of his patients displayed various emotional and psychological difficulties before the onset of physical disease. (He also noted that those same responses, such as fear, anger, jealousy and anxiety, would complicate physical disorders, making them more difficult to treat.) Concerned about the side effects of drugs, Dr. Bach searched in nature for a solution to the problem of emotional healing, eventually discovering 38 flowering plants and trees that alleviated a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Today, these 38 "flower remedies" are used worldwide.

Breathwork

What is it?

Conscious breathing, conscious resourceful breathing, rebirthing, and conscious connected breathing, are all types of breathing that can  facilitate accelerated personal growth.

Conscious Breathing:
The Conscious Breathing Process™, is a powerful breathing meditation for personal growth and awareness that makes use of conscious, resourceful, breathing patterns in combination with Somatic Processing techniques to release and re-integrate the blocked energy of suppressed emotions and dis-empowering belief systems. 

Training:
The purpose of training in Conscious Breathing is to free the breathing mechanism from the effects of Stress Adaptive Breathing Syndrome and a lifetime of frozen breathing patterns, by bringing the participant through a series of breath releases. 

The "breath release" is the point where deeper breathing ceases to be a struggle and is replaced by a full, free, effortless, breath that seems to self-generate. Once a person has been coached successfully through the breath release and has mastered the five principles of conscious breathing, they are empowered to use the process on their own, anywhere, anytime, to maximize their enjoyment of every part of life.

Continuum Movement

What is it?

Essential Elements Of Continuum

BREATH
All movement originates with breath. Fixations, compensatory patterns, family history, trauma and emotional stress are all maintained in the movement or inhibition of breath. By engaging with variations in breathing, we are able to stimulate a wide spectrum of internal sensations, responses and movements. Healing, growth and all mobility, whether physical, emotional or spiritual, are enhanced by the dexterity of breath.

SOUND
Sound is audible breath, penetrating the density of locked tissue. It eases mobility while releasing areas of stagnation and stress. Specific sound frequencies engage various systems of the body. By coupling sound with movement, we increase the agility of both. Sounding further connects us with each other and to the resonant whole, providing another source for communication.

MOVEMENT
Continuum’s movements are designed specifically to enhance the undulating spirals and circularity of the fluid system. A full range of non-patterned movement, from dynamic full-bodied expression to subtle micro-movements, stimulates neurological growth and vibrancy. Undulating wave motion permeates tissue, softens boundaries and amplifies sensation. Wave motion is the primary access to our bio-intelligence that is not bound by time, space or condition.
