Which is not what we offer in biodynamic touch. It's much more interactive. It's an intimate and heightened experience for both client and practitioner that involves interaction and communication. It's not a neutral experience at all nor is there a neutral within it. Yes there is awareness of your own living system and an appreciation of separateness but also a recognition of the interwoven nature of touch through synchrony, empathy, and resonance. We touch and we join to a degree. That's the power of relational touch to bring reflection through experience of another. We bring a new reality of connectedness to body tissues, fluids and potency when we touch our clients and it's this reference that inspires the body to reorganise, transform and to connect with its biodynamic health.
