Body Pattern Assessment/Reading and
Understanding the Pattern Triad

This page provides a description of my own paradigm on body-memory, body-mind correlations, "body-reading," and related basis, uses, and purposes for such knowledge. There are no specific body-mind correlations given on this page except for one example in the section, "The Pattern Triad Components Further Defined and Illustrated."
Some may find this a rather exhaustive discussion, so I have included Section hyperlinks and "To Top of Page" hyperlinks to better get you where you want to go. WARNING: There are also many links that will take you to related topic matter on OTHER pages at this site. And most of those will have still MORE links to still more pages at this site. To prevent feeling spread too thin on this site's very broad matrix, I suggest first very quickly briefing the whole page while taking note of the links, then reading it again knowing where you may be led astray from your own original directions. <grin> -bcp

Brief Description of A "Reading:"

What The Assessment is Like

The Body Pattern Assessment/Reading is an exploration of one's life process. It is based on how one's body reflects *how one has learmed (as an infant and/or child, primarily) to feel and respond* to people and situations in life. On the other hand, the degree of bodily injury or health would seem (to me as yet) to have very little to do with "character" or spiritual progress. I explain more -below- about "Understanding the Pattern Triad & Assessment" and The Pattern Triad Components Further Defined and Illustrated.

Client-Practioner Teamwork with the process:
I generally do most of the assessment at the same time I am doing massage/bodywork, as the client is lying on the massage table. The textures and shapes of the musculature (one area relative to another), the client's awareness in specific muscles/tissues, as well as of acute and/or chronic pain, of referred pain and manners of it's communication, are major sources of the information I "read." Given that input, I use mainly facts (based on studies in physiology & psychology) along with some degree of intuition (based on my and others' experience) of ways in which the "body-mind" systems communicate. I also get information visually (postural analysis), by asking questions, listening. To a varying degree I receive information empathically and/or via strong "impressions," but I will find verification of any data obtained this way before I will consider it reliable (see next paragraph).
I will generally tell the client, in as much detail as requested at the time, where and how I read the messages that I interprete the body to be communicating. Sometimes I state a hunch in the mix of other notations, but I will say when I am doing this and why. It is generally to stimulate more feedback to insure I am on the right track and/or find out how to adjust my perception, as well as to determine the appropriate wording and delivery of the interpretation. (The correlations I use to make my determinations are somewhat based in my perspectives and approach in/to psychology, and discussed below in the section, "Notes on Mind-Body Correlations").
I counsel in "listening" accurately to the physical and emotional body, and in taking charge of his/her health process more effectively. We explore how to craft individualized tools to facilitate increased awareness, choice range, and empowerment. This includes the basics of Self-Parenting, various self-healing methods, the assignment of "homework," including simple Yoga techniques (ie: "Tensing Yoga - Exercises for Self Healg, Preventative Maintenance, & Mind-Body Awareness").
The challenge for the individual is to become conscious of the coping mechanisms and above dynamics as they apply to oneself, to appreciate the skills & gifts, to learn how to release emotional pain (over time) and recover memories and Inner-Children as needed, to monitor the "onion skin peeling away" process [naturopathic perspective], to further refine the gifts, and finally to find meaning and purpose to the whole developmental process. Facilitating this process is precisely the purpose of the assessment and body-mind integrative bodywork and counseling. You might enjoy a metaphorical presentation of the 'Body-Parenting' Approach to Mind-Body Integration "My Cells - My Children" & related prose for ...".
Once the client and I have chosen some areas of the body (and of personal growth process) to work with, I use the approaches and techniques as described via the links as noted on this page. In a sense, the easy part is the freedom from acute pain and the recovery of full and pain-free physical function. And this usually occurs in the early stages of therapy. There may always be some degree of chronic pain, although this may only be felt when the musculature is approaching the state wherein hypertonicity again become unconscious, and the tissues are in danger of being damaged again.
Here is where the preventative health maintenance benefits are truely realised. At this point the responsibly aware individual exercises choice to adjust his/her activity according to healthy long-term goals. Related aspects that the client may want to explore may be found in "Questions and Topics for 'Body-Mind Integration and the Chalice' "
You may want to record the reading. None of my work or writing is intended to replace or discourage the appropriate use of medical attention and/or treatment, but is intended as educationally informative for overall health enhancement and preventative maintenance.

Understanding the Pattern Triad and Assessment

As implied above, this perspective is based on how the body reflects *how one has learmed (as an infant and/or child, primarily) to feel and respond* to people and situations in life. The infant responds internally in a way to cope as best s/he can, creating a *coping mechanism* to do that, and that coping mechanism begets *skills,* and the skills begets *gifts*. I relate these to bodily manefested "holding patterns" in the muscles and other connective tissues [often referred technically as "adhesions"]. These also cause and/or relate directly to postural and movement patterns, as well as to decreased circulation of blood, lymph, nerve, and ki or chi energy in internal systems. The coping mechanisms, skills, and gifts strongly affect the organization and function of the related cells, tissues, organs, and systems [often referred to as "blocks" in less conventional circles]. Most pre-adult development centers on the discovery and initial refinement of the skills and talents. Conscious development of [recognized] gifts is the next stage.
Most all people have a certain amount of conscious and/or unconscious pain related to these aspects, depending on the nature of the origin and psycho-emotional importance of the related coping mechanism(s). The pain would have been incurred during the events which led to the creation of the coping mechanisms and the "Inner Children," which in this case, refer to the persona(s) of the emotional body that have been created in order to finish, at a later time, the interupted processes related to those needs that were only partially and/or temporarily fulfilled, by the coping mechanisms). This (pain of unmet needs) provides motivation for personal evolvement, most expressively in the realm of the skills and gifts.

Exerpts from

"Body Memory and Soul-Interplay in Learning Life Lessons"

A term coming of age is "Body-Memory," and relates to how, when, where, and why experience on any and every level of awareness is stored in the body, accessed and expressed - consciously and/or unconsciously. How this correlates functionally to one's anatomy, emotionality, mental routines, psycho-spiritual awareness, path, purpose, and integration, is not only fascinating, but actually describes an individual in a very practical way. The first two paragraphs outline some basic formative dynamics. The paragraphs following them elaborate on the specific processes and considerations involved.

To the degree that one is not able to process an experience, one will put that processing "on hold." And the body-mind will create an "armor" of tension in the musculature in the area of the body that one associates with the particular message, issue, or belief related to that event. The message(s), issue(s), or belief(s) related to that event, as well as whatever emotions that one perceives (consciously or unconsciously) as related to it, are all based on ones subjective experience. And it is important to note that one's subjective experience may have something -- or absolutely nothing -- to do with an objective reality, let alone any "accurate" perception of the event experienced. The psycho-emotional information that the body-mind puts on hold is stored ("repressed") as memory. The body does not store *all* memory, but only that which is perceived by the Self as necessary for later completion of experience. More on how the body reacts/responds to this is covered in a latter paragraph.

From a spiritual perspective, we could say that the Higher Self let the personality off the hook for the time being, by postponing the process until the personality/ego is sufficiently developed to satisfactorily complete and learn from the experience. As for the processes that we complete, we can remember them, or the lessons derived from them, solely via the mental body. Thoughts only become attached to the personality -- as beliefs -- for the sake of providing a psychological structure to learn in and/or from. And structure is important in a personality's learning process. Emotional charge (i.e.: as related to an issue) is the binding agent for attaching a thought. Otherwise the thought (i.e.: a perception and related data) is left to flow more or less freely through the mental body, or can be re-organized as desired.

The body is shaped in terms of how the musculature has been held and moved in response to ones subjective experience. Hence the relationship of the body's posture and movement to one's sense of connectedness, coping strategies, challenges, and gifts, the mind, the body, and the emotions, and the path of one's self knowledge, self healing, and transformation. Although the body vibrates at a lower frequency than does the mind, it communicates the Soul's energy all the same. And it is always telling us, point-blank, what we don't otherwise perceive.

Few people in "modern society" survived childhood feeling safe to truly feel life from within their bodies. Result: we learn a mentally and emotionally armored, semi-defensive relationship with our bodies and our environment, yet strive to feel "the connection" with others. It is through this dualistic predicament that we have/are the divine opportunity to reveal depth and meaning to all aspects of our lives and to all life, to re-enter-connect.

The Pattern Triad Components Further Defined and Illustrated

For each condition or issue or challenge we face, you could say there are also the following:

Coping Mechanism (here abreviated as 'CM') - The CM is what we learned to do and/or be in our infancy and childhood to get our basic needs met. That is, this is learned when our parents were not there physically or emotionally, were confusing, dangerous or abusive, disrespectful of our actual needs, or otherwise irresponsible. The CM is creatively developed (consciously or not) to provide as much feeling of safety, love, and acceptance as necessary for survival. For example, loud talking helps get the needed attention of loud-talking parents. When the CM is formed very early, it becomes a habit pattern. This can be so even if we may not see it or see it as different from other's behavior, let alone as bothersome, self-sabotaging, or worse. We can forget (if ever really learned) that the situation that required the CS is not always going on or about to happen, etc. Then we don't see that other strategies -- that more appropriately get what we need -- are available as choices.

Challenge - The Challenge is to make the best use of the Coping Mechanism. For example, most public speakers (including teachers) felt they were "not heard" as children in general, and strove to develop ways to make sure their communication was valued by others. Assisted by their need to be of service to others, their efforts toward more effective communication eventually overcame what otherwise may have been a handicap. It is said that such challenges are never really overcome, but become allies that continually keep us on our toes and reward us by their teachings.

Gifts/Potentials - These are what happen during the "overcoming" of Challenges. The teachers are "heard" on a regular basis. Our individuality (to the extent we develop it), those "endearing" personality traits, the skills we have developed (in relation to the Coping Mechanisms), our unique perspectives and insights, the people we attract as friends, and our greatest achievements are all gifts. If you research how any great accomplishment or invention came about, and you will see what I mean.

Holding Pattern- This is how the muscles (and other body systems) move or position themselves due to the Coping Mechanism (CM) and/or to the kind of situation that provoked the CM. An example would be holding the shoulders up higher than necessary when we feel as if someone is looking over our shoulders disapprovingly. Like the CM's, these often become habit patterns that we become used to. Unlike the CM's, however, no one may ever notice these -- at least until the pain gets our attention. It's as if the muscles are our "inner-children" that are making-do ("surviving"), protecting some part of us with an armor of hardness. Eventually the hardness constricts the nutrient pathways and/or causes torn muscles or ligaments. Even then, some people may actually resist the relaxation that has become a priority. Cells work best when given proper food, rest, and touch.

Tools and Self-Application- From here, we clarify the goals to re-establish, including affirmations (somewhat like Louise L Hay but different) and *Positive Response Questions*, or *PRQ's* (please see next paragraph). I have found it very effective to encourage the client's self-application of very specifically developed affirmations and PRQ's, that relate with the above, and that serve to galvanize chosen ideals and momentums. They generally state the best of who we are and/or of what we can do, have, or be. A whole science has developed around using these tools to create the most effective attitude and momentum for a given situation, for every day, or for Life.
*** The PRQ is one specialized form of affirmation, that assigns the Body-Mind the task of finding an answer or solution(s) and manifesting this in an appropriate way or ways. A general but useful example: "I assign my Body-Mind the task of answering the question, 'How am I enjoying all that I experience today?'" See "The Use of Questions in Affirmation Therapy - Theory and Examples for Practical Application" by the author (at Seeker Magazine Website).

NOTES on Mind-Body Correlations:

My perspective in psychology is based in a blend of Gestalt, somatic, and Buddhist psychology, and New Thought philosophy. These and aspects related to my work are elaborated on in the essays, "Body-Mind Integration in the Personal Growth Process" (published in MASSAGE MAGAZINE, July-August 1992) and "A Gestalt Perspective" and "Seven Phases of Personal Growth". As far as the different schools of mind-body therapies, most differ by approach as far as I've seen, and not too much by theory of cause and effect. Most are Reichian based (re: Stanley Keleman Emotional Anatomy).
The correlations system I work with is largely drawn from chakra relationships (the eastern metaphysical perspective), and in this regard I very much appreciate, yet not always agree with Ken Dyhtwald (Body-Mind), and Louise L Hay (You Can Heal Your Body). I admit to relatively little study of materials by Carolyn Myss, Barbara Brennan, and Iona Teegarten, but honor their great contribution to the field in general. Most disagreements with the former can probably be attributed to questions of context and interpretation. Of great influence to me, however, are the kinesiological (re: John F. Thie of Touch For Health) relationships, and Oscar Ischaso's relationships as taught by Barry Green (The Holistic Body Therapy Textbook). And I do my best to use common sense and intuition (asking for guidance) in the integration and application of these systems.
I see body memory storage organised relative to subjectively associated relationships based on common archetypal responses to experience in a given culture. Many such associatioins are common to most all cultures, some are more specific to each culture. I only have experience with those I've seen, being American born for the most part. On the other hand I would suspect the majority of the relationships I find to work with are fairly universal.
On the other hand, I subscribe to the Jungian approach to [dream] interpretation -- which honors the individual's personal organization of associations and related definitions -- and I expand this style to my "reading" of the body-mind in general. I am careful to not let these interfere with my empathic and psychic attunement to whatever information the person intends to convey to me, consciously or unconsciously. Thusly I continually refine my hypotheses and theories.
How I relate the emotional organization as relative to the lower chakras seems to be somewhat different from many systems. This is not quick to explain so I will refer to the essay, "The Lower Chakras & Synthesis of Body & Soul" and "Psycho-Emotional Organization And The Body-Mind."

Underlying Tenants of the Work & Cosmology of Body-Mind:

Holographic Interconnectedness: Each part reflects the whole; what happens on one level of a system affects all other levels - "As Above, So Below". Given this, our inner subjective realities tell us everything we are here to learn in a given life. And since our minds express through our bodies, then to the degree we interprete the body's language, we can then "read" our paths and purposes. Spirit is thus Interconnecting as well as Dynamic as regards change and the driving forces (thought, emotion, and Spirit) that create transformation in mind and body.

Mind: The Mental "Vehicle", the interactive consciousness that manages our perceptions and responses and defines our choices.

Body: The Physical "Vehicle", a reality not that separate from the mind, but a functional extension of unconscious as well as of conscious thought, emotion, and belief. Belief is here defined as a thought attached to one's consciousness with/by emotion. Essay, "Beliefs, Desires, Needs, and ... Alignment"

A Very Brief Hierarchial Cosmology of Cause and Effect And an explaination of how and why we hold and move the body in relation to the mind (perhaps these may be easier to relate to when put in reverse order):

1) the muscles move the bones (in spite of what a few "old school" chiropractors seem to imply sometimes). The fascia interconnects (and provides the glide-flow surface for) all muscles as well as every organ in the body.

2) the feelings move the muscles -- that is, the feelings and stored emotion-data determine the "automatic"/habitual holding and/or movement patterns in the muscles and fascia, and thereby changing/setting the state of muscle tension. Below I refer to the 'emotional-body' - eg: "Emotion & Motivation on the Path and in Healing," as complements the phys. body and the mental body.

3) the thoughts create/govern the feelings -- which is to say that the mental perspective determines the feelings and emotions. And, depending on one's view of cosmology and it's functional implications.

4) the soul creates/governs the "personality in mater form" -- more or less under auspice of God/Higher Power -- and so determines some plan/"setup" which initiates the individual's perception of self and experience on the Earth plane.

AUTHORSHIP: Unless otherwise noted under the titles, all essays, artwork, prayers, pages at this site and sub-directories (as at my previous site at AOL), and with exception of some of the solid color and cloudy-sky color backgrounds and logo/headers for others' sites as noted) has been composed, rendered, and/or web-authored � by myself, Christopher Pringer, a member of Veteran's for Peace, ch.92 and of the "Seattle 12," practitioner in Body-Mind-Energy Integration Therapies since 1984, and ordained minister (Chalice-Bridging Ministries) since 1987. Most of the personal health-oriented essays at this site were written in the early 90's, as compared to the social/political health oriented pages since 1997.

ABOUT THE SYMBOLIC ART: The symbols for the "Chalice" - or Holy Grail - that I often use are drawn essentially from ancient archetypes - including the symbol(s) composing what is known as "The Star of David," which actually pre-date(s) the Jewish faith by many centuries or more. They all have their own rich meanings as related to the spiritual dilemma or paradox, balancing or synthesis of qualities (such as Yin & Yang), and healing transformation. Here, the Chalice is essentially a "cauldron" for the balancing and integrating of Humanity with the Divine - individually and communally. The "Chalice-Star" over the three traveling magi is used in my Solstice or Christmas Card design to represent our quest - in this earthly dimension of body, mind, and spirit - for the inner-most Source of one's spirit and faith -- whether that would be the Inner Christ, Inner Buddha, Inner Mohammed, or the Divine Mother's Spirit connecting All Life, etc.

That disclaimer said, you may find out the actual origins of my relationship with these archetypes at Home Page for Body-Mind-Chalice Integration (and related artwork). If you feel well served by what you found here, I would certainly appreciate your support. Although there is virtually 3 large books (and probably over a thousand hours) worth of written material and artwork here, nothing has ever been sold at this site (although I do promote my therapy practice and desktop publishing skills).

Professional Bio & Training

Chris, 2005

Chris w/beard, 2001

Chris, 1984 I began my studies in multi-level self-healing when in the service, in Thailand in the Winter of '73. The focus then was on self-help psychology, consciousness, and eastern and western mystical perspectives. This continued through my university studies in Norman, OK '74-'79. 1980 took me into naturopathic studies, primarily nutrition and herbology when I lived in Oklahoma City. Not seeing the naturopathic doctor route as affordable at the time, I found direction via a five-evening massage course, Fall '83. That led to a six month professional practice, followed up with the training in Sante Fe, NM, '84-'85 (described in the next paragraph).
Since then I have practiced massage and/or healing facilitation for others, initially in Santa Fe, NM (during/after my training), then San Louis Obispo, CA, and Seattle, WA. This includes exploring personal challenges and self-healing methodology. A session may include various energy work modalities, Body/Energy-Awareness based Preventative Health Maintenance Instruction, or only Reiki or relaxation work in total silence. A client chooses based on whatever stress, pain, or concerns are present at that session. A client may request a "Body Pattern Reading," as well as various massage/bodywork therapies, all of which techniques are listed & described in the Body-Mind Integration Therapies Brochure. Individual, program, and 3-6 week interval-based rates are available.

My professional interests have primarily centered in three areas:
1) Body-Centered Psycho-Spiritual Process (as in "Hakomi" style of) counseling and bodywork, including as assessing an individual for the most efficient means of addressing connective tissue injury, short and long term, and the most efficient application of the results of that assessment (on physical and/or emotional levels);
2) in the basic hows & whys related to the storage & release of tension and "body memory" in the muscles and fascia. and in the related fascia memory storage dynamics - referring to the technical aspects of neuro-physical interface between connective tissue, emotion, and the brain);
3) "Chalice-Bridging" style chakra balancing - based in the perspective that the chalice, far more than just a cup in this interpretation, is about the human embodiment of Spirit into the three "lower bodies" (mental, emotional, and physical) which compose the "Body-Mind". Which is also a "cauldron" for the balancing and integrating of Humanity with the Divine - individually and communally.
My training includes
over 1370 hours of classes and practicum, including with the New Mexico Academy of Massage and Advanced Healing Arts in Santa Fe, NM (1984-85), and with various accredited bodywork and therapy workshops (`86-present), as well as 100 hours training with the Alchemical Hypnotherapy Institute (1989), over 100 hrs apprenticeship with healing practitioner Robert "Mitra" (`85-`86), 150 hours apprenticeship with Silena Heron in Herbal Studies (`83-`84), Training, Certification, & Empowerment as Reiki Master (3rd Degree Johrei, 1991; Kundalini Reiki to 9th Level w/Gtunmo & Devic Template, 2004). For the detailed version my training, you may go to the latter half of the Body-Mind Integration Therapies Brochure. Which also includes (and relates context for) links to essays elaborating on aspects of imbalance and injury, assessment, and healing.

Personal Quotes on Body-Mind Awareness [ cp, 12'07 ]

BODY-MIND AWARENESS, at the core of preventive health awareness, is one of the most simple, efficacious, & cost-effective forms of HEALTH INSURANCE there can be. Hence, massage is far from just "a luxury item," and bodywork therapies can be indispensable for the healing of certain conditions.

MUSCLES RELATE TO ATTACHMENTS - to what we use to take our stance, to hold our place, to perceive and respond to our environment, and to extend who we are and/or want to be. Or used to be (in too many cases, perhaps).
That speaks not only to the body's condition and function, but to how it communicates awareness of where one is along one's path (of becoming who one truly is).

THE BODY IS . . . among other amazing things, a unique communications system -- intimately linked with one's TOTALITY.
Establishing rapport with one's body can be a PATH to self realization.

ONE OF MY DREAMS is a society where/in all children are taught how to feel/see/read their own body-mind communications such that preventive health maintenance eventually becomes second nature. And actually, for the most part, they would be encouraged to re-awaken and build upon what I believe to be a NATURAL INCLINATION - conscious self-healing and continuous expansion of awareness.

And the above goes FOR ALL OTHER ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES, to the degree that one utilizes them to improve such awareness and causative/pro-active connection with one's body-mind, and to employ the most effective tools for maintaining/improving one's health under any given condition or circumstance.

WHY DOES BODY AWARENESS = OPTIMUM HEALTH INSURANCE ?
