Somatic Energy Healing in Los Angeles

Energy healing, a practice rooted in ancient traditions like Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, is gaining popularity in the United States. This approach operates on the belief that our bodies have energy flowing through them, and by balancing this energy, healing can occur. Energy healing is channeled to restore balance in the body, aiming to bring about health benefits. Techniques can involve physical touch or other mediums like acupuncture needles. While energy healing has historical roots in concepts such as “qi” in traditional Chinese medicine and “prana” in Ayurveda. 

Imbalances or blocks in the body’s energy field can lead to emotional challenges, physical pain, or illness. Through experiential learning, individuals can recognize negative beliefs and reactions, taking away their power and enabling the first step towards breaking old habits. The body’s energy flow opens by releasing emotional blocks, allowing universal life-force energy to move freely, leading to a state of love and fearlessness. Healing on a personal level positively impacts those around us.

Somatic therapy proves highly effective in addressing a wide array of psychiatric and physical issues, offering notable benefits when integrated with other therapeutic approaches to provide comprehensive care.

Experiential somatic therapy is particularly advantageous for individuals facing various challenges:

• Physical Trauma: Victims of physical traumas like car accidents or brain injuries often suffer from emotional and psychological distress. Somatic therapy aids the nervous system in returning to a state of resilience and balance, promoting healing.
• Emotional Trauma: Trauma is stored in the body, and somatic therapy allows individuals to access and express emotions such as anger, trauma, guilt, or shame, facilitating emotional healing.
• Addiction: Addiction affects the entire body, and somatic therapy helps individuals release tension caused by cravings, enabling them to overcome substance dependence and addictive behaviors.
• Anxiety: Anxiety manifests physically, leading to symptoms like tense shoulders, elevated heart rate, and hyperventilation. Somatic therapy assists individuals in identifying the origins of these responses and learning effective techniques to manage and calm their anxiety.
• Grief: Somatic therapy aids individuals in processing and releasing grief by identifying the bodily locations where these emotions are stored, promoting the healing process.
• Abuse: Emotional and physical abuse survivors often grapple with complex emotions such as sadness, guilt, and anger. Somatic therapy provides a safe space to work through these emotions, addressing relational issues stemming from the abuse.
• Non-Injury-Related Knee Pain, Hip Pain, Back Pain, Foot Pain, and Others: Somatic therapy is valuable not only for injuries but also for non-injury-related physical ailments, including knee pain, hip pain, foot pain, and back pain. This approach provides a holistic method to address both traumatic experiences and chronic physical conditions, aiding individuals in understanding and alleviating the emotional roots of their pain and promoting overall healing.

Somatic therapy delves into how the body manifests harrowing experiences, employing mind-body healing techniques to aid in trauma recovery. The concept of trauma registering within the body on a cellular level has garnered increasing attention. Despite this awareness, somatic therapy has yet to gain as much traction as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and related approaches in terms of understanding, utilization, and research to validate its effectiveness, as cited by experts.

Somatic therapy, a lesser-known approach compared to widely practiced methods like mindfulness meditation, mind-body stress reduction (MBSR), and mindfulness and self-compassion (MSC), revolves around the body’s role in processing emotions. Somatic therapies focus on how emotions manifest physically, asserting that the body retains and expresses experiences and emotions. Under this approach, traumatic events or unresolved emotional issues can become “trapped” within the body, highlighting the intricate connection between physical sensations and emotional well-being.

In my approach, recognizing negative beliefs or reactions as they surface and assuming responsibility can strip away their influence, marking the initial stride toward breaking entrenched habits and patterns. By releasing emotional barriers, our body’s pathways unfurl, enabling the life-force energy from the universe to course freely within us. This state of flow, characterized by love and the absence of fear, promotes emotional well-being and holds the potential to heal various physical ailments.
