Abdominal Release Massage

Although qigong breathing and postural exercises are excellent at finding and releasing physical and emotional tension and blockages it can take a long time before you are able to sense where your deepest blockages are and so release them.

Fortunately there is a faster way. Abdominal Release Therapy is a branch of qigong that aims to directly release blockages that are stored in the abdominal area. This is where you were connected to your mother in the womb and where your ealiest tensions are stored. It is also where most unprocessed emotions and blocked energies are to be found.

Abdominal Release Therapy is a combination of breath control, energy healing and massage of the stomach area. It has many benefits and is the most powerful therapy I have ever known.

It works on the principle that many of the stresses that we face in life, we are unable to cope with at that time so they get stored physically in the stomach area. They get stored by strong muscular contractions so that we lose all feeling and use of that area. This protects us from having to feel those negative emotions and thus cope with those tensions but it also has a very negative effect on the efficiency of all our organs such as liver, kidneys, spleen etc and causes many problems in the digestive system. This prevents us from digesting our food properly so the body has to resort to storing this undigested food as fat.

These strong stomach contractions mean that our back muscles have to work correspondingly harder to maintain our upright stance so many back problems may also be an unfortunate result.

Abdominal Release Therapy starts with teaching correct breathing which itself is excellent for stress relief and leads to a light trance state. It then goes on to light stomach massage which triggers a detoxification process in the body which relieves us of many physical and emotional toxins that are stored in muscles and organs. This, on its own, can help with many medical conditions.

Then deeper massage and energy work is used to detect deeper areas of tension in the stomach area and imbalances or weaknesses in the organs themselves. These tensions are worked on gradually over several sessions to ensure that the body doesn't have to cope with too much physical and emotional processing all at once. Almost everybody finds this process an emotional one as tensions are released that may have been stored in the body for years.

These emotional tensions need to be processed so can lead to the subject once more becoming emotionally involved with the tensions they may, wrongly, have thought that they had got over depending on what emotional blockages have been stored. Obviously the therapist needs to try to assess how much the subject can cope with and only try to release that amount of emotional energy at a time. Therefore usually at least 3 sessions are needed. However the therapy is so powerful that the health of the entire organism is affected and most people find that it has powerful effects on all areas of their lives.

Many people find that after undergoing treatment they find that they can see their life more clearly. They also feel as if the barriers in their lives that have been holding them back have now been lowered and they can see which way forward they need to go. I often hear clients say things like 'I have decided now that I need to get fit/change my job/work on my relationship with my spouse etc after just 2 or 3 treatments.

Abdominal Release Therapy is a safe, pleasant and relaxing therapy to undergo and the range of physical, mental and emotional conditions it can treat is very impressive. In my opinion it is always the treatment of choice for any condition where stress is the underlying factor.

I practice Abdominal Release Therapy from my home in central Reading, Berkshire RG1 but can also travel to clients for a small additional fee to cover my expenses.
