“By the energy of your grace (anugraha sakti) it has been revealed to me that this vibrating universe is your own existence. Thus, O Lord Siva, this realisation has come to me that you are my own soul and as such this universe is my own expression and existence.” - Abhinavagupta
De-Armouring
What is Armour?
Painful traumatic and emotional experiences that have not been fully felt, experienced and integrated, imprint themselves in our psyche, energy field, and within our physical bodies, hindering the flow of our life-force, our ability to connect from the heart, and impact how we show up in the world and relate to others. These stored energies place a great deal of stress on our nervous system, especially the vagus nerve.
Armour is another term for tension in the body as a result of stuck energy. Every time we receive a shock (physical or emotional/energetic), it is absorbed into the tissues, cells and fascia and remains there unless we actively discharge it.
Armour often becomes and reinforces our survival/defence mechanisms that protects us from feeling the pain and as a consequence feeling in general. Over time it can deplete our system and decrease our capacity of feeling fully alive until this locked energy is released. Often multiple de-armouring sessions are beneficial.
What Does a Session Look Like?
The session is offered within a safe and sacred energetic container from a place of deep loving presence and compassion, respecting and honouring the boundaries of the client. It starts with an initial intake and a discussion.
During the session, an individual and holistic approach is used in combination with specific pressure points, energy work, sound, and breath which activates and awaken your life‑force energy. Pressure points are applied to stimulate the flow of energy and disperse congestion in the body. This allows the body to open up in a loving way, to bring energetic and physical tension stored in your physical structure to the surface where they are released from both your body and auric field. It allows the body’s energy flow to re-connect any areas that were numb, sensitive or in pain to a feeling of aliveness and integration.
This work supports the nervous system to gain more capacity to regulate and expand, so that life’s challenges can be met with more resilience and tolerance.
Background of De-Armouring:
Although likely practiced for centuries in some form or another by indigenous healers in one form or another, the term De-armouring was a simultaneous invention created by an Australian-born man named Andrew Barnes and the Deer Tribe people of Arizona in the late 1990's. The term stems from Wilhelm Reich's theory of body armour.
Benefits of De-Armouring:
- Expanded energy flow and vitality
- Deeper connection to self and our body wisdom
- Ability to connect from the heart
- Better health
- Incresed body capacity for pleasure
- Releasing stuck emotions
- Feeling lighter, freer and more confident
