SRI – Somato Respiratory Integration (body breath connection) with Jacky

The way to change yourself and your life is to:

1. Know the different stages and seasons of your journey
2. Understand where you are in your journey
3. Fully experience where you are through focused attention, breath, movement and through feeling your body and its energy
4. Fully allow the sensation, experience and natural rhythm to be embodied
5. Be wherever you are. No Stage is better than any other. If you can’t be with the Stage you love, love the Stage you are with.

As an SRI practitioner, I spend time with you to help access the states of consciousness that will rhythmically take us into the various states of consciousness or being.

Think of the Hero’s journey. We all have to go through the trials and tribulations of life. The car breaks down, the marriage is rocky, your child gets sick, or your boss is a bully. Whatever issues you may face in your life, they are usually balanced by the positives, such as the birth of your child, a significant pay rise, or finding your dream job. You get the idea.  All the experiences in our life are steps on the journey which is our life. In most therapies, you discuss the issue, tell your story, unpack it, and devise strategies to overcome it. In this body of work, especially in the early Stages we are asking the body to find where it feels connected and disconnected, and use breath and focused attention to connect with the body.

• No story
• No trying to fix anything
• Letting the body find its own rhythm

The innate wisdom of the body figures it out and finds the natural rhythm that will move you through that state of consciousness. The nervous system naturally regulates, and a state of calm may be achieved. Then we are ready for another Stage. The Stages are not necessarily linear. We go where the body and the state of consciousness show up.

In the diagram below, the Roadmap of Network Care, look at the numbers in purple which represent the 12 Stages of Healing. Donny Epstein created this work and wrote the book (The 12 Stages of Healing) about thirty years ago. SRI was designed to align with the levels of Network Spinal Chiropractic, which Donny also created. SRI is also effective as a standalone process. Initially, with a Provider who can teach you so that you can practise at home.

The Roadmap shows the Levels of Network Spinal Care in Red and how the 12 Stages align with the Levels throughout your journey.

The journey is delineated by the Seasons of Care

Discover – Stages 1, moving into Stage 2. We are not trying to fix or change anything. Moving away from pain to find the peace of Connection.

Transform – Stages  3 – 6. Transform your tension and distress into fuel and opportunities for growth.

Awaken – Stages 7-12. Experience the energy and grace behind the illusion of a solid body.

Integrate – Strategies to master the experience of your life through your body’s rhythms.
