 #125 somaZen w/ Elizabeth
Kevin does some intense visceral work in the kidneys as he talks through the energy and structural blockages that are holding back progress in Elizabeth's emotional work.

 

 Sponsors of The Bodyworker:

Pro Tape

Comfort Craft

At the close of the session Kevin gets feedback fromElizabeth. She says this is not only a helpful adjunct to resolving emotional conflicts, but a necessary adjunct! Just a little look at how much can really be received from a somaZen session.

 

#126 somaZen with Rosey

Leah does some techniques she is learning as part of her Zero Balancing Certification. First we see a move to check movements in the shoulder girdle.

Then a "Half Moon Vector" which aligns the energy body with the strucural body, creating a feeling of completeness and inproved function. Rosey says it works perfect!

 

 #85 somaZen with Deb

Kevin uses light pressure to free up the layers of fascia between Deb's intestines to improve blood flood and vitality. Notice how the table bends to make access easier!

 

 #83 somaZen with Brian

Kevin does an hour of structural work with massive results. Notice expansion of chest and abdomen, vertical alignment and softening of hips and neck. Brian has the 'weight of the world' lifted from his shoulders! After the show he says we should change the name to "The Miracle Worker"!

 

Kevin gets help from gravity using his Comfort Craft Table. The slight traction provided by the bend enables Brian's tissue to free itself easily!

 

#57 somaZen with Lisa

For this special Mothers Day show Kevin works with Lisa who has given birth three months prior. By gently manipulating the tissue in the abdomen the organs are allowed to return to their proper positions.
 

 The weight of the baby pressing down and outward displaces the bladder and intestines, creating fascial thickening to hold them in the new postions. Using pressure to 'melt' these fascial (connective tissue) restrictions Kevin helps to speed the recovery from this natural process.

 As a finishing touch, Kevin uses cranial work to help the nervous system adjust to this 'new' body. This helps to alleviate any temporary disorientation. A smile says a thousand words!

#58 somaZen w/ Christine

Leah works with Christine, who is a student in the middle of final exams. Attention is given to helping her stay present and grounded through lots of studying. Leah also works to unbind areas in the legs which have been affected by running.

 

 #59 somaZen w/ Sara

Kevin works with KROX dj Sara Trexler to open space in the ribs. First moving thickened tissue on the right side of sternum, working under the sheet for modesty and safety.

 

 Having prepared for deeper work, next Kevin uses thumbs to go in between ribs, releasing the joint space between sternum and manubrium, as well as loosening attachments to the heart. This makes it easier for the heart to beat the half million times it does every day.
 

To assist the bodymind to adjusting to the new space in the thorax, Kevin finishes up with some fine tuning of the thoractic inlet. When you listen to Sara on the radio, you know she has a lot of heart! 

 

 #60. 4 handed somaZen

Leah and Theresa team up to work with Kevin. With four hands it is possible to release distantly-connected fascial restrictions, such as at opposite corners of the back. Kevin experiences an organic reorganizing in his ribs and hips.
