Coherence in Chaos.

 

"When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order."

 - Iya Prigogine, Nobel prize-winning chemist.

 

Hello there.

I hope this message finds you well.

I wanted to write and acknowledge the challenges many of you are facing during these chaotic and uncertain times.

To not reach out and acknowledge this ongoing phenomena was beginning to feel a little like negligence, which is in direct conflict with my ethics as a Rolfer®️.

Some of you are fearful of losing your job, and some of you have already lost your job due to federal spending cuts.

Others are fearful of even traveling the country due to your gender identity.

Many of you simply feel less safe during this time of uncertainty and increased vitriol.

I want you to know that with the work I do, I am ever committed to providing you with a safe and compassionate space to do this most valuable and essential work.

The time and space that we share for an hour plus is sacred.  In many ways it is a temporary autonomous zone to experience and relish a way of being that is antithetical to what is happening on multiple fronts in our political discourse.

Empathy.

Compassion.

Humor.

Kindness.

And maybe most importantly . . .

Embodiment.

From the moment I see you to the moment you leave, I want us to share these qualities of being.

In doing so, we are able to create a space that is a small island of coherence in a sea of chaos.

This co created space is essential, but so is getting body work.

In doing so, there may be less chaos in your soma and psyche. Instead you may find a better sense of ease, balance and peace.  Less anxiety.
Certainly less pain.

We need this more than ever.

When we find this coherence and balance within our bodies, we are better able to navigate the uncertainties of this world.  There is also more capacity to bring this sense of peace to others as well, which most everyone wants on a primal level.

I continuously and consistently tend to myself with deep care as well.  I try and meet your body through touch in as much of an embodied place as possible.  

I do not want to meet you with anxiety and fear, but with competence and care.

I want my intentional coherence to reverberate with your soma and psyche.  I can only hope that this will limbically resonate with you, allowing your body to find a more peaceful and balanced place as well.

Another island of coherence born.

In the end, know that I am here.  

Right here.

Never hesitate to reach out if you are wanting to come in for essential body work, for essential care.
