思考を手放し、身体に聴く。
心と身体をほどく、アンフォールディング・ボディワーク

Somehow, a subtle dis-ease had settled into my days. It wasn't the sharp ache of stiff shoulders, but a pervasive weariness, a quiet heaviness that left me easily fatigued. This had become my everyday reality, and my body, it seemed, had grown quietly accustomed, even desensitized, to this languid rhythm. It was only after the session that I truly understood. This sensation! A radiant warmth blossomed within my being! It was a wondrous, profound feeling, as if vital energy was not only coexisting, but also gracefully circulating, enlivening every fiber of my body. My spirit, too, felt an exquisite lightness. I now sense that perhaps the subtle, unseen currents of my daily environment had placed an undue, silent burden upon both my physical form and my inner landscape. A quiet realization dawned: a consistent return to this sacred space, this gentle unwinding, might just be a profound necessity for my continued well-being.

My heartfelt thanks, as always. For the past five years, I have been blessed to receive sessions at the bi-annual gatherings held in Miki City. Each time, I am gently guided to consider 'What is your intention for today's session?' This sacred inquiry has become a cherished ritual, prompting me to reflect upon my present state during the journey to the salon. Before the session, I often arrive with a specific physical concern, perhaps a lingering ache or tension. Yet, the moment I am in Terashima-san's presence, these initial thoughts gently dissipate, and I find myself surrendering completely to her intuitive wisdom and guiding hands. Upon the session's gentle conclusion, a profound sense of clarity and lightness washes over me. Without fail, I secure my next appointment, already anticipating the transformative experience six months hence. The familiar faces I encounter at these gatherings create a warm sense of community, and sharing pleasantries, often remarking on the convivial atmosphere akin to a gentle reunion, is a cherished part of the experience.

Just recently, I was drawn to experience a session of Unfolding Bodywork. As I am a practitioner of Reiki, I felt a resonance with the concept of healing through touch and presence. Frankly, the full depth of what transpired still unfolds beyond my complete understanding. However, as our conversation flowed during the session, I sensed a deep unwinding—less of the physical body alone, and more profoundly, of my very heart and spirit. Simultaneously, a mysterious sensation emerged, as if something long solidified within my core, entwined with suppressed emotions, began to gently yield and dissipate. Having recently engaged with various modalities of counseling, healing, and coaching, I'd become aware of long-held childhood emotions resurfacing, almost in a regression. Now, several days have passed, and I find myself profoundly acknowledging a deeper integration, a sense of having gently 'graduated' from that particular chapter. I find myself eagerly anticipating the next encounter—what new layers of myself will be unveiled? What exquisite expression of my true being awaits discovery? A profound sense of excitement now pulses within me.
