The biggest thing that changed for me through Rolfing was my heart.
I had kept it closed. Now that I have finished the ten sessions, my chest has opened, and I can open my heart to the world outside. It feels as though there is a warm heart in my chest.
And I find myself enjoying being with other people.
I had struggled with things on the emotional side, and I had kept approaching it through the mind — taking medication, going for counselling, receiving healing. It never changed the way I wanted it to. Rolfing works on the body, and the effect was very large. I feel as though I have been remade.
I came to see how much the body matters. I had been quite deaf to what my body was saying, but I began to notice bodily sensation, and I began to want to move.
In each of the ten sessions I went through all sorts of feelings, and there were times I felt low. But I could always feel that the space was safe and that I was being watched over, and I could stay at ease.
And what is wonderful about Rolfing is that it guides you toward standing on your own.
Hidefumi has a great deal of knowledge and experience, and he supported me across a great deal — the body, the heart, and what to actually do in daily life.
I am full of gratitude.
I would like many people to enjoy the wonderful journey that Rolfing is.
