A Path to Holistic Healing Through Spinal Energetics
Have you ever felt like something is holding you back, but you just can’t put your finger on it?
It might be an unresolved emotion, a long-forgotten memory, or a traumatic experience your conscious mind has tucked away for safekeeping.
What if your body remembers even when your mind doesn’t?
This idea is central to the healing practice of Spinal Energetics, a modality we explored in depth on this week’s episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast.
In my conversation with Amanda O’Mara, we delved into the transformative potential of Spinal Energetics and how it allows us to bypass the need to consciously revisit painful memories.
Instead, this practice enables the body to release stored tension and trauma in a way that feels natural and intuitive.
When it comes to Somatic release, we learn that healing doesn’t always require a story.
The Body Keeps the Score
If you’ve ever experienced talk therapy or had a deeply emotional coaching session, you know the power of putting your thoughts into words. Sharing your story can feel liberating, connecting to your inner child or protector parts is very healing, but sometimes words aren’t enough. That’s because trauma, emotions, and memories aren’t just stored in your mind—they’re also embedded in your body.
As Amanda shared, Spinal Energetics works directly with the nervous system, the energy field, and the subconscious mind.
By gently guiding the body to move in ways that feel right, this practice taps into the body’s innate wisdom, bypassing the need for intellectual processing.
Even if you’ve never tried spinal energetics, you’ve likely experienced something similar in your yoga or meditation practice.
Have you ever felt a wave of emotion rise during a deep hip stretch or after a long savasana? That’s your body releasing tension and accessing its innate intelligence.
Amanda’s insights reminded me how powerful it can be to trust your body’s natural rhythms. Whether you’re practicing yoga, sitting in meditation, or simply taking a mindful walk, you’re creating space for your body to speak—and for you to listen.
One of the most beautiful aspects of Spinal Energetics is its focus on feeling rather than thinking.
During a session, clients might experience involuntary movements, a wave-like sensation along the spine, or even a sudden release of emotion—crying, laughing, or shaking. These physical responses are the body’s way of completing a process that was once interrupted.
As Amanda explained, this approach helps close what she called a “defense feedback loop” in the nervous system.
Once that loop is closed, the body can return to a state of homeostasis, creating a sense of safety and balance.
If this resonates, I encourage you to listen to the full episode. We explore Amanda's personal journey, the science behind Spinal Energetics, and how this practice can help you step into your highest potential.
If this episode has you a little curious, Harmony, and you're ready to experience the transformation that can come from a Spinal Energetics session for yourself, I'd encourage you to book either an online or in-person session with me here.
