Four Body Energy Release
My
experience over the past thirty years of working with the human body,
has revealed that the body is very complex and actually consists
of four bodies: the spiritual, physical, emotional and the mind bodies.
It is therefore most important to identify which body I am operating
from when working with my client, and also important to be aware
of what body they are functioning in. It is helpful to distinguish
the differences of these energy bodies so that I am able to be more
supportive of my client’s energy field. When working with the
emotional body, supporting the emotional release aspect requires
a recognition when the client starts to “think” about
the emotion, vs. actually experiencing it. This is an example of
being in the mind body, and at this point the emotional bodywork
stops. Guiding the client to realize this energy field shift is an
important part to being present with the client. It is a choice,
that both the client and practitioner makes about which body field
they are coming from. 
When I first began to do this work I came from
a physical body energy form. As my work progressed to a deeper level,
I realized that the person had experiences on emotional, spiritual and
mind body levels. Being in alignment with my client is extremely important
for the work to go deeper. It also gives the client and the practitioner
the realization that we do have choices about which energy body we
activate, and cultivating an awareness becomes a useful tool when
doing this work. Some examples of the emotional body would be feelings,
such as; sadness, anger, fear, joy, love. Examples of the spiritual
body would be; stillness, colors, past lives, a sense of being. Physical
body examples would be; a rotator cuff, carpal tunnel, lower back
pain, etc., and examples of the mind body would be; “wondering
why I feel pain”, drama, judgments, thinking “how can I get rid of
this pain”, etc.
Over the years I also noticed that the energy within these
four bodies might move at any moment from one body to the next, and most of
the time, I ignored this shift. Now I am beginning to acknowledge this shift,
and that I want to take responsibility for it. I also want to take responsibility
by honoring the client’s pace, and not push for a change, but instead
acknowledge that “body” of
energy. Knowing these four different energy bodies helps guide me to a greater
understanding of the constant shifting we do as humans which usually goes unnoticed.
When I recognize which energy field a client is present with, it helps me communicate
more clearly with them. It has especially helped me realize that I am now more
aware of how much my mind tries to keep me out of these bodies because of its
control and ability to manipulate where it wants me to be. Now I listen to what
my mind says and decide what I want to do and if I want to be emotional, then
I can “be emotional” with out having a story attached to it. I can
give myself permission to experience emotional energy fully.
