In Ortho-Bionomy® the relationship between the client and the practitioner, between a person and themselves, and between areas and/or parts of the body is often referred to as a conversation. During an Ortho-Bionomy® session there is an ongoing dynamic of activity and receptivity.
The concept or theme of conversation is fundamental to the practice and understanding of the work. We embody an unfolding process in which a respectful relationship creates an environment, which allows expression and response verbally, energetically, somatically. In the course of a session conversation can take place at several levels simultaneously: e.g. between the bones of a joint, among the surrounding tissues, between physical and energetic aspects of a person’s experience, between client and practitioner. The flower of the situation is the matrix for self-correction as understanding evolves. Central to the idea of having conversation is receptivity and the organic process of leaving space into which expressions and responses can develop and move back and forth in natural timing—the dance that is Ortho-Bionomy®.
