Root’s presence retrieval®

Your body is Nature, the place where your soul is.

We will begin in an area of the body which is the source of life. The power of creation is born where the power of letting go resides.

The pelvic bowl houses an energy centre, wherein lie the female sexual internal organs: the vagina, the womb, the oviducts, the ovaries, and the surrounding muscles, tendons, nerves etc. This energy centre works in perfect connection with the whole body, and is in constant interaction, both with the body and the environment. This centre is the basis of our lives as women, a present foundation in our bodies.

Our bodies are nature and it moves according to natural cycles. Nature is the great wisdom, so wisdom can be found in the body as well.

We can learn natural wisdom by being in nature, and by experiencing nature through the senses. We can learn natural wisdom by connecting with nature and by surrendering to nature, by being covered by the forest. In the same way, we can also learn about our bodies as we ”enter” our bodies, to explore and experience the awareness of the cells.

Have you ever considered what is the power source for Earth and the whole nature? What force sustains the activity of the Earth? Earth was born as a result of billion years of transforming processes and now it is and continues to exist, because that which was born, is a cycle that continues on and on.

Life is sustained by a continuum of cycles. It gives birth to what is needed, and dissolves what is no longer needed. It renews, grows and thins out, always appropriately and at the right moment.

The same cycles which take place in nature, on Earth and even in the way planet Earth relates to space, are repeated in the female body. The pelvic bowl is the centre of our own cycles, related with all the cycles of our body. Keeping our whole pelvic area with its internal organs, muscles and nerves in good condition affects our wellbeing, our cycles and, thus, our lives comprehensively.

We can receive a lot of knowledge and maybe get some inspiration by reading books and articles about menstrual wisdom or cycles, but this wisdom will always remain unfounded and unrooted without actually having an awareness in own body experience. That can only gives us a sense of being supported in our lives.

All the experiences in your life affect your body. You might notice how your chest is heavy when you are worried, or how your stomach cramps when you are nervous. Maybe you notice some pain in your back when you are suffering from stress. On the other hand, the body expands with joy and the upper abdomen relaxes on vacation. With all of these reactions, our foundation and our root are also reacting, and the effects stay there. In the same way, your emotions, thoughts, and all your experiences have an effect, whether they are pleasant, traumatizing, or something in between.

I believe that the foundation of human wisdom start from understanding own body as nature, and returning the presence of the bodies root. It is time to know the presence own pelvis in everyday life, to released this area from the  patriarchal tales of shame and to re-understand and connect with.

Root’s presence retrieval

In a similar way, the root is the source of the tree’s power, keeping the tree standing and supporting its growth. The growth, health and the freedom of expression of the treetop is always dependant on the root, as well as the condition of the soil where the roots spread themselves. All our experiences since the womb time and in our childhood have an impact in the state of own pelvic bowl.

Many women I have worked with have noticed that some parts of their pelvic bowl are easy to feel and are present, whereas others are not easily sensed at all. When practicing to return the presence of the root, many notice how the activation of different areas awakens different emotions and/or memories. These memories and emotions often indicate unprocessed matters which has an effect throughout our lives. To bring attention to them while moving as its needed helps to re-patterning our bodies into a more sustainable way for our present moment.

It is important to understand that the presence of your own root has an integrative effect on your life. If you have not experienced this, you might not believe this to be true, it’s ok. But you do not have to believe until you feel it. It is a very different thing, indeed, to live with an awareness of your own pelvic area, your pelvic bowl, vagina, ovaries, and the womb – your root – than it is to live without being aware of this area.

At first, it may be necessary to open up to understand how necessary, natural, and even logical all this is. If your hip hurts, and you cannot move with ease, you’ll likely pay attention to the pain and do something about it. Similarly, if you feel pain in your shoulders area, your head hurts or you have a strong cough – surely you’ll do something to relieve your suffering. The pelvic floor, the vagina, the womb and the ovaries will let you know if something is not right, either through pain or functional problems. These problems may include PMS symptoms, menstruation problems, difficult menopausal symptoms, urinary incontinence (especially after childbirth), infertility, depression, powerlessness, feeling non-motivated or lost, as well as difficulties in emotional expression. Many of these symptoms might also be an expression of inter-generational issues.

In order to return the presence of the root, I create a simple exercise and put together simple practices that anyone can do easily at home. Depending on the situation it may also include some treatments.

How did this method come into being?

These method started in 1997, when I was working on my university thesis to graduate as a somatic therapist. which in those times we called ”body therapist”During the course of the year I worked with 30 women. Each of them had different bodily symptoms, and when I was working with them, I noticed that their depression, life situation and health were particularly connected to a lack of bodily awareness in the pelvic area. Unprocessed traumas were also related to their condition. I learned a lot from this. In particular, I learned to believe that every woman has the ability to heal herself by bravely facing everything that is needed, renewing and giving birth to herself, again and again supported by a community.

For more than 20 years, I have worked and refined my practices and they continue getting nourished as the time passes and I keep experiencing and learning more and more, learning from my own experiences. The last great realization came after giving birth to my third child, in 2014, a heavy labor. The healing process which started with that childbirth became a healing path which gave me deeper knowledge, new tools and strengthened my approach for Root’s presence retrievel.
