"If a living system is suffering from ill health, the remedy is to connect it with more of itself"
Francisco Varela
What is Bioenergy?
The phenomenon called life has two components: the first is biochemical, while the other pertains to energy. These two aspects can exist separately, but not in a form recognized as life on planet Earth. Energy animates matter by penetrating it. Its withdrawal from the body signals clinical death (when EEG and EKG can no longer be detected). Clinical death initiates the process of decomposing the body into the smallest biochemical particles.
We are all built from these two components - biochemical matter and energy. The energy that animates the bodies of humans and animals is known as bioenergy – the energy of life. This force surrounds every cell like a miniature wire, providing a blueprint for the physical body and also serving as a medium for the flow of information throughout the body. Bioenergy also extends outside of the physical body, creating low frequency electromagnetic fields around us (as well as other subtle energy fields not yet recognized by science). In a larger context, bioenergy is an inseparable component of the Universal Energy.
What is Bioenergy Work?
A skillfull bioenergy practitioner can detect these fields of energy around the body, as well as energy flows within the body. Everything that happens to the physical body is reflected in its energy flow around the body and vice versa. By working with these flows and fields of energy the bioenergy practitioner is able to restore the balance between biochemical and bioenergy components, resulting in the improvement of health.
What to Expect in a Bioenergy Session
Bioenergy is performed as a non-touch technique to help balance and regulate the subtle energy fields. At the beginning of your session, we will discuss your intention. What would you like to receive from a bioenergy session?
Next we will begin the actual bioenergy session itself. A typical bioenergy session is performed mostly in silence. The session is usually done while standing although it is possible to perform bioenergy with the client sitting if necessary. During the session, the client is instructed to either focus on what they wish to receive from the session or to simply relax as deeply as possible.
The balancing of the bioenergy fields will take between 15 to 20 minutes.
After the session is complete the client is encouraged to maintain the sense of relaxation. Laura may recommend certain meditation techniques that the client may practice at home.
Laura is a Master of Bioenergy and is an instructor of the Wirkus method of Bioenergy. She holds regular classes and workshops to teach this method. Please refer to the calender for a current list of offerings.
