Rosen Method is a powerful tool for stress reduction and for reaching the body / mind connection through gentle and direct touch. Using hands that listen rather than manipulate the practitioner focuses on chronic muscle tension. As relaxation occurs and the breath deepens, unconscious feelings and memories may emerge. Habitual tension and old patterns may be released, freeing the client to experience increased vitality and aliveness, new choices in life, and a greater sense of well-being as well as the disappearance or lessening of pain.
