6 Elements of BBTRS
BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System’s® 6-Element approach empowers your body’s natural process for healing, restructuring your systems on a cellular level. Experiencing BBTRS® will leave you with ability to intimately connect with yourself and others, feel the “juice” of a vibrant life, and celebrate life to the fullest.
Breath
BBTRS® uses deep, connected breathing to “charge” the nervous system and provide access to the physical aspects of the trauma-release process. The full series of sessions allows tension to dissipate through movement, thus rebalancing your mind and body from head to toe.
Movement
BBTRS® stimulates the natural expression of the body to release held energy through movement. The movement is invited through somatic (body-based) and creative/dance exercises. From playful warm-ups, to organic, whole-body tremors, to undulating spinal waves, movement is key to what makes BBTRS® truly transformative.
Touch
Conscious touch, bodywork, and soft-tissue manipulation allow a practitioner to assist a person in the physical aspects of trauma release. When we apply touch to contracted muscles in the body, we support a flow of energy to areas cut off from their own physical and energetic circulation. In BBTRS®, understanding how and when to use conscious touch is central to all trainings.
Sound
Trauma causes an orchestra of tiny cellular reactions to occur within contracted tissues. Fortunately, sound can help “loosen things up.” In BBTRS® sessions with people especially attuned to sound, vocalization, recorded music, and live instrumental sounds can provide interesting impacts, either in the entire body or in specific regions.
Emotions
Emotion is held along with body tension, and both come to the surface during somatic work. However, BBTRS® is structured to avoid reactivating people, and therefore steers away from overstimulation. Our balanced approach honors what is coming out emotionally, and then connects that experience to the body—allowing people to release and integrate trauma, rather than simply relive it or become overwhelmed.
Meditation
Meditation allows us to develop our inner witness—and it is where BBTRS® begins and ends. It is the most effective path to sense and integrate what is happening as a session unfolds. Meditation also supports resonance in the practitioner as support to the client. Different meditations are used within our workshops and trainings, from physical movement, to walking, to sitting silently in some of the earth’s most sacred places.
Discover your Breath
Modulating the breath is known to impact our emotional and physical states, but that’s not all. Changing how we breathe changes how our nervous system functions. Deep understanding of the breath has been shown to both change the quality of our lives and impact the way our subconscious and conscious minds work together. Breathwork is something that anyone can do, anywhere in the world—and it has been shown to have immediate, positive impact for those suffering from grief, anxiety, and many other challenges.
