Mind to body approach for system healing
Like other mindbody therapies such as meditation, mindfulness, Tai Chi, and Bowen Therapy understands the body as a holistic energy system with an emphasis on the interconnectedness of each organ compared to reductionism-based approaches, which view the body with a compartmentalized theoretical frame. Especially the idea of viewing the mind and the body as one being is the central concept of mind-body approaches. The recent appreciation of the integrative role of fascia, the tensional network in the body at intercellular but even at the intracellular level, provides more scientific rationale to the holistic healing model.
Relieving emotional tension by rebalancing the body's stress adaptation mechanisms with the Bowen Relaxation Moves designed based on neuroanatomy of the autonomic nervous system is an immediate response to the Bowen treatment. Bowen Therapy improves structural balance in the body by relieving physical tension as a secondary response to the treatment. As the body has a powerful endogenous regeneration mechanism exercised by the interplay between neural networks, endocrine organs, immune cells, and stem cells, the healing process for a wide variety of illnesses turns on once the body attains a higher level of mind-body integration by releasing neuromyofascial tension. Bowen Therapy addresses the whole mind-body connection, not simply the site of injury or pain, to achieve system healing that lasts long.
