SPINAL ENERGETICS
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
Spinal Energetics is a form of energy therapy that focuses on the energetic alignment of the spine and aims to release stored physical, emotional, and energetic tension throughout the body. Developed by chiropractor and wellness practitioners, this approach combines elements of somatic (body-based) healing, energy work, and movement therapy. Spinal Energetics works with the concept that unresolved trauma, stress, or emotional experiences can be stored within the spine and nervous system, potentially impacting both physical and mental health.
WHAT IS SPINAL ENERGETICS?
Spinal Energetics is a modality developed by Chiropractor and Counsellor Dr Sarah Jane. It is a practice that combines Eastern and Western thought, to interact with a person’s spine, nervous system and energetic field, to harness a person’s own innate wisdom to know and heal themselves.​Each living being is not just a physical form but also a being of energy. Energy encompasses each of our aspects; physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and soul: Woven together with our ancestry, experiences, stories, personality, and character.​
Energy is a spectrum from underactive to overactive. As Spinal Energetics practitioners, we intend to support our clients in meeting the middle path of homeostasis; balance, as we believe that wellbeing is each person’s birthright.
Through light yet powerful touch (and often no touch), an organic flow of movement and sound begins and progresses to shift, unwind, discover and release tension, resistance, and stories that may have been stored in the body. The movements and sounds are natural and primordial, they are a response to the treatment and are driven by an individual's energy, intuition and instinct.​
Spinal Energetics is not something we ‘do’ to a client, it is a practice of collaboration to cultivate and support deep self-awareness in our clients to help them soften and-or strengthen patterns of resistance and-or submission that may be preventing wellbeing from flowing to them.​Influenced by various modalities, such as Network Spinal, Alpha Alignment, Shamanism, Inner Dance, Reiki, Esoteric Acupuncture, Craniosacral Therapy, Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Trauma Release and Pranayama. With the incorporation of philosophies of Buddhism, Hinduism, Chinese Medicine, Yogic and Meditative traditions.
Things to Know
Key Principles of Spinal Energetics
-
Energetic Flow in the Spine: Practitioners believe that the spine and surrounding tissues hold a dynamic energy flow that influences overall health. By addressing energetic blockages along the spine, Spinal Energetics aims to free up energy and restore a natural flow throughout the body.
-
Holistic Healing of Physical and Emotional Blockages: Spinal Energetics combines physical movements, adjustments, or gentle touches with the intention of releasing both physical and emotional tension. It emphasizes a holistic approach that considers the mental and emotional aspects of health in addition to physical symptoms.
-
Subtle Body Awareness and Somatic Release: Clients are encouraged to become more aware of sensations, movements, and feelings that arise during a session. This awareness is thought to activate the body's own healing processes and facilitate the release of stored tension or trauma.
-
Mind-Body Connection: Spinal Energetics operates on the belief that the mind and body are interconnected, and unresolved emotions or stress can manifest physically in the spine and nervous system. Sessions are designed to help individuals access and process these emotions to achieve greater balance.
