I’m sometimes embarrassed by my own field if I’m honest.
The work itself I trust completely. But what embarrasses me is most of what gets built on top of it to sell it.
So much of it rests on a promise that someone, somewhere, holds a power, and that for a fee they can switch it on in you. Call it awakening, call it activation? Once that’s the premise, you have to keep coming back, because the next session is always the one that finally makes a difference. I don’t want any part of that.
Spinal Energetics doesn’t work that way, because it doesn’t share that view of a person. It doesn’t claim to awaken anything, because I don’t believe there’s a dormant thing in people waiting to be switched on by another. Nothing is being transmitted from me into anyone. The whole thing rests on the opposite assumption, that the body already holds exactly what it needs.
A nervous system that holds tension for years and won’t fully settle as a result, is usually doing something intelligent. At some point it found a way to manage something it couldn’t yet meet, and it has gone on managing it loyally, often way longer after the original reason has passed. The tension is a strategy and it deserves respect before it deserves changing.
So the work isn’t about forcing that open and you can’t push a system out of a pattern that was keeping it safe and expect anything good to come of it. What you can do is offer it enough safety and enough information that it becomes able to find a newer, freer strategy on its own. When that reorganisation comes, it belongs to the person. They didn’t receive it from me, they developed it. My hands are only there to help the system notice what it’s doing and sense that it could do something else.
I understand why dramatic moments and “releases” become the story for lots of people, but the release was never the point. The real work is underneath it, in the slow reorganising that you can’t capture.
Maybe that’s also why I’m careful with words. I would rather undersell this than make a claim of awakening. I’m offering a way of working with what is already there, and a respect for the fact that a person’s system knows things that I don’t.
