The body weeps the tears the eyes refuse to shed.
--Donald Epstein, D.C.
- NSA - consists of gentle, sequential contacts in specific spinal locations called "Spinal Gateways". As these Spinal Gateways are activated they refine the body's strategy to release and use trapped tension. Research studies suggest that this process leads to a significant increase of health-related quality of life wellness indicators.
- NSA - is a self-healing, and transformational process which cumulatively increases "somatic awareness" helping the body recover from stored stress, and chronic adverse spinal and whole body tension patterns. The body responds to this heightened awareness with automatic and spontaneous changes in breath and movement, establishing an internally driven self-corrective phenomenon.
- NSA - has developed over the decades integrated into a "systems" approach with three distinct "levels of care" to advance wellness: Level 1 - Connect and Release Level 2 - Refine and Transform Level 3 - Expand and Awaken.
- NSA - is a collection or "network" of gentle contacts on "Spinal Gateways" which in turn cues the higher brain to observe the body more deeply and orchestrate an unwinding or release of trapped tension and use that energy as new fuel, thereby creating internal strategies to adapt and evolve.
- NSA - facilitates the healing needed in that moment by "entraining" the spinal system to spontaneously oscillate and "unwind" tension within itself, and the rest of the body follows.
- NSA - has been shown to increase our resilience, flexibility, adaptability to mental, emotional, chemical, and physical stresses.
- NSA - manifests two distinct, unique, and spontaneous 'waves' along the spine - called respiratory and somatopsychic waves, which are associated with a powerful healing response and cumulative positive changes.
- NSA - recognizes the spine as a "switchboard of consciousness" associated with all bodymind states. NSA more fully and effectively allows for embodiment of consciousness ; thereby healing the pandemic "split" or chronic dissociation in the human condition between matter and pure awareness.
- NSA - entrains the body to learn new strategies to self-correct throughout the day. The body integrates each session's learning into an ever-increasing ability to self-heal and adapt.
Who can benefit?
People who desire in the short and long term to "bust" stress and enjoy greater wellness, higher performance, bodymind integration, and advance their innate healing strategies. This includes those suffering with acute or chronic health challenges. Virtually anyone who is alive, breathing, and has a spine and nervous system may notice some important health and wellness benefits immediately and cumulatively over a lifetime.
