It’s no secret, in the world of being human, the body is where we hold, store, and express ALL of our emotions. Injury and trauma are some of the most obvious culprits of Somatic Emotional Storage, especially in children. And while the youth of the world carry within them a more direct access to Truth and Reiki, full of vibrant, powerful energy that allows them a more rapid bounce back than their elders in many ways – they also sometimes require the TLC and dedicated touch therapies that allow emotional pathways to express from the body.
Establishing Trust during sessions with our younger clients through gentle touch, the Puja, and mindful, Loving explanation are key in bringing a sense of autonomy and strength to the receiver. IT IS CRUCIAL THAT CHILDREN OF ANY AGE FEEL AND KNOW THAT THEY HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER HOW & WHEN THEY ARE TOUCHED AND BY WHOM. Communication is essential.
Ayurvedic Bodywork has been practiced for tens of thousands of years throughout our known histories, not only by professionals and healers, but also within the walls and Sacred spaces of the home. In its most basic form, which is assisted yoga stretch and prayerful touch, it is meant for all bodies and all ages – a loving healing modality that families have used to bring deep medicine to one another for centuries.
Our kids crave the good zhuzh, too!
