DECEMBER – Archetypes – Patterns – Placing Yourself in the World
Yoga and subtle bodywork are two ways to shift our energetic and physical state to transform our thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
We interviewed Irene Sanchez-Celis, a holistic wellness practitioner who blends Eastern modalities with Western science through Tantric, Shamanic, and Taoist practices.
By combining ancient traditions, plant medicines, and healing rituals with modern modalities and Western science, Irene helps women heal and achieve personal freedom.
Keep reading to see the five embodied movement practices Irene shared to transform energy and intense emotions.
Energy is everywhere; it’s all around us. In Chinese medicine, you’re working with meridians, which are energetic channels. The same can be said of Chi Gong, which is energy management. Meditation and yoga tap into different energies. All are ways of working with the energy we have and share with our environments.
I’ve found that mainstream people are not very aware of yoga. They’re very mindful of the physical world’s density, but they don’t have as much of an understanding of the subtle body, which is the energy we work with in acupuncture. We use a needle to move the energy around and direct energy flow. I love giving first-time clients or people unaware of the subtle realm the first glimpse into this dimension; there’s more to the world than we can physically see.
There are different levels of anatomy in the body; we have the physical body and then the energy body. Energy moves differently through different systems and channels. The energy body is more subtle, whereas the physical body is denser. The acupuncture meridians are connected to the physical body, while the chakras are connected to the subtle body.
