ABOUT ORIGIN FORCES
Located in Southern California, Origin Forces is a teaching center and private practice to help women, men, children and infants overcome stress, trauma, and shock. Clients learn to apply biodynamic systems to their own lives and the lives of people they care about.
Natural Rhythm's and the Biodynamic System
Life moves to many rhythms. The rising and setting of the sun, the crashing of waves, and the migration of birds are all timed to perfect rhythm. All of life, as well as our bodies are deeply polyrhythmic, one organized song according to natural forces. Our hearts beat, our lungs take in air, our feet hit the ground. We can find a rhythm in every part of life, including death.
After trauma, constant stress, and shock, the rhythms change. Our nervous system, brain waves, and immune systems all change rapidly. In nature this rhythmic change happens, then there is a quick release, and the song remains the same. But for us humans in the western world it has become harder and harder to release shock and trauma quickly or effectively. We have oriented to the speed of our quick-paced society, which is out of rhythm with nature and the rhythms of our origins. Many of us are four or five generations removed from these natural rhythms. We've come to know the rhythms of life by the amount of traffic on the road, the day that bills are due, and the tightening of your neck or back on Monday mornings.
Our rhythmic orientation creates the structure of our own unique song of life.
When we are not synchronized with natural rhythms, our bodies become tense and dysfunctional, susceptible to disease. Origin Forces uses a Biodynamic Healing System that re-orients us quickly and effectively to the rhythms of the natural world, of which we are a part according to our birthright. (Even if our birth didn't go right!). Health is inherent to the biodynamic system. Our re-orientation to the original rhythmic forces brings balance to our minds and bodies. With this orientation re-established, all of life harmonizes, and we are able to use energy that we were not even aware was missing. We feel unified, whole, and aware of our purpose in the dance of life.
Philosophy and Values
Origin Forces knows that your health care decisions are very personal. How you take care of yourself and your family can be extremely empowering, whether you are in the medical or health care profession or not. A state of health, confidence, relationship to the past, and synchronization with family and natural community are all inter-related and inter-dependent. Our very orientation to life creates a foundation for health in our minds and bodies. This is a new paradigm of holistic healing.
Origin Forces offers workshops to empower people on every level -from personal care to helping others either professionally or within our own families. Health is natural, and it can be restored with a re-orientation to the movement of these orginal rhythmic forces.
All of our private sessions and workshops are tailored to meet you in a place of the heart, using biodynamic therapeutic techniques for the most effective and profound shift in healing.
