Alchemical Alignment™
Alchemical Alignment™ Therapy for embodiment and nervous system reset:
What is Alchemical Alignment?
Alchemical Alignment (https://www.alchemicalalignment.com/) is based on a blend of myofascial release, biodynamic cranial sacral therapy and energy balancing techniques. Powerful in its simplicity, Alchemical Alignment brings a potent new paradigm to the world of trauma resolution and embodiment.
Your practitioner uses light to medium touch on the body and holds the space for your nervous system, body and fascia to rebalance. Receiving safe, slow, specific, respectful, embodied presence and advanced bodywork verbal, attention and touch skills facilitates a decompression from the imprints of traumas from the past. You are with every session more unfettered to move freely into your potential blueprint, your future.
Most people have experienced trauma at some point in their lives due to surgery, accidents, emotional stress, or childhood physical or emotional abuse, stress or neglect. During these experiences parts of the nervous system basically get stuck in fight, flight and then freeze patterns. In other words, the physiology tells a story of boundary invasions, old freeze patterns, etc., and during the session we take the time to listen.
This work subtly meets the physiology where it is and creates space for the nervous system to regulate and reset to the healthy, rest and digest mode and for full presence to fill back into the body. Once we have worked with symptoms at the root cause/nervous system level, the body shifts. The listening leads to completion of unfinished threat-related dynamics, and/or meeting unmet developmental needs. This is followed by experiences of boundary repair and a more comfortable embodied experience of presence, even power.
Often clients experience light, warmth, or vibration/tingling moving through their bodies, ending up with a feeling of fluidity and wholeness. We call this “Embodiment of Spirit.” For example, it is possible to feel areas of chronic physical and emotional pain and tension melt away and the body balance itself right to left, top to bottom, back to front, or to have empty parts fill again. Alternately, people report inner awakenings, like an increase in sensory and felt sense awareness; feeling Self, more insight, spiritual awareness, compassion and clarity; finding their voice and boundaries; feeling their adult self as well as reconnecting with innocence; integrating shame and grief; connecting with peace, relaxation, grounding and vitality like never before; finding an embodied understanding of health and connection, and more. It is such a joy to witness the spirit and the body come into alignment.
Getting the most from your Alchemical Alignment session:
The more stabilizing/self-care you do before sessions, the more worthwhile they can be. The default intention for the work is to take the next step in aligning with your wholeness, your Blueprints for health, meeting unmet developmental needs, and completing incomplete nervous system responses (imprints). Make sure to tell me of other specific intentions you have, and any relevant history. Then schedule yourself some digestion/integration/interaction/loving/cocooning time after the session. Afterward, when you are ready, let the story (felt sense or understanding) move as well — by writing about it, creating art, telling another, etc. You could assign yourself homework, too, while in more clear alignment. In these ways, you make your session more effective.
