“Every person needs nurturing and a safe environment.”
– Wendy van Mieghem
Holistic pulsing is a gentle and safe way of giving focused attention. Through a certain rhythmic way of shaking and gently stretching the body, your body releases built-up tensions.
However, nothing is forced. Your body is subtly set in motion and kept moving. By constantly swaying gently (called ‘pulses’) and stretching in a certain rhythm, you can relax deeper and deeper. Naturally, you are invited to let go of tensions and emotions. Pulsing is, therefore, soothing for body and mind. People experience pulsing sessions as nurturing, comforting, and safe.
“Even in my sleep, I don’t relax as deeply as during a pulsing session.” – Francisca
Holistic pulsing is a full-fledged treatment method that can be combined with other techniques or forms of therapy if desired. It carries an enormous depth within. And is, therefore, an excellent tool for inner growth. It offers support in awareness, recovery, and change processes. That is why Holistic pulsing is part of the Sustainable Change Program.
During this intensive learning pathway, professionals practice their contact and communication skills through Holistic Pulsing. It helps them to make contact, connect, and tune in more refined, subtle, and in-depth. While practicing, you will be (un)consciously confronted with your life attitude and physical posture. How do you cope with emotions, tensions, and pain? And which patterns arise from it? Holistic Pulsing will gently but firmly mirror you in every detail. This makes it a valuable tool to get to know yourself better. The 4-year Sustainable Change Program does not aim to teach you to pulse professionally. However, if desired, it is possible to add a graduation trajectory to the program.
A pulsing session
During a pulsing session, you lie on a massage table with your clothes on. There is little or no talking. Your body is set into motion with gentleness by rocking, pulling, and shaking. The body consists of 70% water. Water conducts energy and voltages. Due to the rhythm of the pulsing and the traction, blockages are set in motion. You let go of deeper tensions.
“All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was.” – Toni Morrison
A pulsing session continues to work up to a few days to weeks.
The video below gives you an idea of the pulse technique. In this video, the movements are kept small and subtle. If necessary, the movements can also be made ‘bigger’. Below the video, you will find more information about how you can learn holistic pulsing yourself.
Learn to pulse by yourself
During the Sustainable Change Program, learning to pulse is a means to become more aware of your own senses, humanness, perception, and blockages. You learn to perceive, make contact, and communicate more refinedly. Through the experiences you gain while practicing with holistic pulsing, you gain more insight into the naturalness of recovery and change processes. These insights can be applied directly in your life and work, even without pulsing.
Do you really want to learn the basics of the technique but are not following the Sustainable Change Program with me? Then I advise you to use Geert van Coillie’s Holistic Pulsing Technique Book. The book guides you step by step through the different pulsing techniques. The photos and short explanations per pulse will help you practice the technique. My advice is to take lessons in holistic pulsing then elsewhere. Buy your copy of the Holistic Pulsing Technique Book here.
Happy pulsing!
