| The Body-Mind Connection
 The Body-Mind Connection is an integrative approach to healing which utilizes music, therapeutic massage and guided imagery, to significantly alter the body/mind consciousness. Carefully chosen music provides the framework, weaving the session of visualization and body work into a rich tapestry of transformation.
Our work over the past ten years has focused on those in crisis as well as those seeking to enrich their lives. Children and adults with life-threatening illnesses have found that our multi-sensory work enables them to move through this passage with an enhanced sense of well being, both physically and emotionally.
Individuals living with chronic pain have reported alleviated physical symptoms as well as relief from associated anxiety. Those seeking healing from sexual, physical and emotional traumas find it easier to work with their pain. Through the combination of music and guided imagery a non-threatening environment is established which allows the integrative massage therapy to nourish the potential for healing.
Others who have sought this experience include musicians, writers, actors and artists. They have found that blocks or restrictions to creative expression seem to dissolve in this multi-dimensional work. People who are seeking deeper meaning in their lives have felt that our techniques guided them in their vision quests.
The Body-Mind Connection is unique in that we, as therapists, form a sacred partnership with the client, gently guiding the spirit and freeing the tissues as the music takes them into the void, the mystery, the discovery of their own personal truth. Clients have reported significant reduction in pain as well as the ability to work through serious life traumas while gaining clarity and insight. We consider our approach to be complementary, rather than alternative, as our clients gain skills which allow them to more fully utilize traditional treatments.
It is in the "gestalt," the dynamic interaction of the pieces, that The Body-Mind Connection finds its power. The gift of the therapist, the strengths and illnesses of the client, the visualization and massage are all brought together by music, the critical element in this experience. For deep in the limbic system, music and the emotions are joined to heighten the receptivity of both body and psyche to this work. Without music the experience is seriously impaired. It is music that creates the structure, provides the path, and opens us to the changes we seek. It is the continuous thread that weaves the tapestry together.
