The Non-Linear Movement Method® (NLMM) is a powerful somatic method developed by Michaela Boehm over the past 2 decades of instruction and practice.

The method is rooted in her early training in Kashmiri Shaivism and fused with her extensive expertise in working with trauma, emotional closures, and physical contractions in her clients and students; as well as in implementing this technique in her own practice.

In recent years Steve James refined and clarified the method, added original material, and contributed significantly to formatting it for educational delivery.

This method has many deep, powerful applications:

1. Smooths out the nervous system

The demands of modern life create stress and tension in the body and an overactive mind. The NLMM encourages an identifying and unwinding of the patterns of contraction and through gentle, non-force movements relieves the bodily tension and underlying mental loops. The result is a systematic, self-guided unburdening of the nervous system.

2. Processes and identifies emotions

As the body unwinds and the mind relaxes its pressured pace the emotions associated with these patterns become apparent and are being let go of. You can note recurring emotional loops for further processing and at the same time allow emotions to simply rise and release.

3. Awakens erotic energy and sensual sensation

As tension, contraction and emotion are being released the body becomes sensitized and we are able to feel deeper. One of the marked results of this sensitization is an ability to feel increased pleasure and well being. Participants report an increased ability to connect through their body, both with themselves and others.

4. Releases trauma patterns into flow

One of the results of traumatic experience (fresh and old alike) is “freeze”, a state in which body, mind and emotions are stuck in a state of numbness. Often “freeze” is falsely perceived as a feeling of “calm/nothing”, which results in an inability to release the experience and ease the bodily patterns. The NLMM facilitates a continued movement, which gently opens the freeze pattern and allows for recognition and release of the underlying bodily and emotional patterns.

5. Unites mind and body in intimacy with physical sensation

Through continued engagement with the release of contraction and facilitation of emotional awareness the ingrained patterns become apparent and less pronounced. Over time physical sensation can be engaged with and the acceptance and tolerance of all sensation increases. Intimacy with whatever is present is possible.

6. Creates high bodily responsiveness

NLMM educates the body how to release and process contractions, stress and emotional tension. The body becomes highly attuned to all sensations and can note, react or release fluidly and without having to attend to traumatic or suppressed backlog.

7. Opens access to bodily wisdom

By putting emphasis on movement and circumventing the analytical mind and loops of tense thinking the natural intelligence of our bodies is accessed. Through gentle guidance the mechanisms of “freeze” and refusal to feel are being loosened and bodily wisdom can create the necessary actions and releases.

NLMM is facilitated on a mat or blanket. Participants dress similar to a Yoga or Dance Class, in comfortable, non-restrictive clothing.

Join Cho in group sound bath experiences or one-on-one Zoom or in-person sound session with instruments, voice, and a sound table (in-person only).

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR ZOOM

- Access to Zoom

- Ability to hear audio

- A quiet private area for practice

- A yoga mat or something similar

Optional: Blanket, eye pillow, pillows if you'd like to be more comfortable.

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR IN-PERSON

- Comfortable clothing

We all experience what it feels like listening to music that is joyful, sad, exciting, or calming. We all experience the effects of nature’s natural sound waves when we stand near the ocean or in a forest.

Sound is all around us every day. Every sound creates waves that travel. Even if we can’t feel them, our bodies are absorbing sound waves all day long. Some of these waves we absorb are chaotic, unstable vibrations. These chaotic vibrations affect us physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Using the Laws of Resonance, we understand how vibrations can have a healing effect. Stable, consistent vibrations have the ability to overcome chaotic vibrations. Sound also has the ability to break up stuck energy or even to transform it or destroy.

Research shows incredible effects of sound and vibrations on pain, anxiety, grief, PTSD, autism, dementia, kidney stones, cancer, and sleep, among other issues. The frequency of the vibration, the timbre, the musical interval or chord, music and rhythm, and energy all have healing effects all the way down to the cellular level.

I have a variety of sound tools at my disposal, including:

- Gong

- Crystal Bowls

- Tibetan Bowls

- Handpan

- Koshi and Zaphyr Chimes

- Sansula

- Tuning forks

- Rain stick

- Indian Bells

- Sound Lounge/Table

- Vocals

Brainwave Entrainment

Our brain can entrain to any frequency, including to specific brainwave states, such as Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta. Each state is useful for different things, such as creativity, focus, sleep, learning, deep meditation, and feelings of love, compassion, gratitude, and oneness. Using binaural beats on headphones on my sound table, we can do specific healing in specific brainwave states in notes specifically tuned to you.

Babies are Natural Sound Healers

Babies naturally make sounds to help them cope and deal with whatever they’re experiencing. They are able to release stuck emotions. Over time, we forget our ability to heal ourselves. To make the sounds our bodies are telling us that we need to hear to release, move, or heal. In sessions, we may play around with giving ourselves permission to make sounds. To use our voice. To create our own healing vibrations.

Sound Table

This vibroacoustic device is a bed that you lay on. It sends vibrations to your body while you are also receiving vibrations through headphones. With your permission, I also use tuning forks and tibetan bowls on or around your body. This is an incredible experience- calming, activating, and healing.

Sound Bath

During a sound bath experience, intentional sound vibrations “wash” over your body. These sounds from instruments or vocals can calm you, break up stuck energy, energize you, and help you access a higher state of consciousness. Based on the energy I sense in the room, I use intuition to guide what instruments are played to achieve whatever it is you need at the time. I also encourage you to play with the instruments— which is an incredible healing opportunity for you as well.

The Akashic Records are an energetic field that holds the collective wisdom and experiences of every soul throughout time. It is a "universal library" that can provide insights, guidance, and clarity regarding your life purpose, relationships, patterns, and challenges.

MATERIALS NEEDED

- An open mind

How does it work?

At the appointed time, we will meet on Zoom or in person. We will start the session with a short grounding meditation and light meditation.

I will connect with the energy of your Akashic Records using a sacred prayer, and ask your questions to your guides and the Akashic Records to receive insights, guidance, and information. We can discuss the information for clarity and confirmation.

At the end of the session, I will use another prayer to close your Records and move out of the energy of your Akashic Records.

Make a list of questions concerning the areas of your life that you are interested in receiving information. Open ended questions work best.

Here are some sample questions:

- What would be helpful for me to know about this situation? (Be specific.)

- I am struggling with this issue that seems to be a recurring theme. What is stopping me? Is there karma from a past life? Do I have vows or contracts I made in a past life that affect this life?

- What is the root of this issue? What lessons am I to learn from this? How can I release and heal this?

- Is this person in my life from my soul family? Do I have a soul contract with them, and what is it about?

- Is there a lesson here for me to learn? Can you please show me now? May I learn this with ease and grace with your assistance?

- What can I do to grow in my spiritual path and connect more deeply?

- How can I make an impact in the world? What message wants to emerge from me to the world? How can I serve others in alignment to my soul’s truth?

- What is highest and best for me to do next in my business? 

- Where did my soul originate from?

- What is the energy in my home and property? What is its history that may be affecting me now?

It Depends on You

Your level of openness greatly influences the course of the session and the experiences that unfold.

While the reading can offer valuable guidance, it is ultimately up to you to make choices and decisions in your life.

I approach the information from your Akashic Records with the utmost honor, integrity, and love. It is my sincere intention to support your personal and spiritual growth for the highest good.

I respect your privacy and confidentiality. All information shared during the session is treated with the utmost confidentiality and will not be disclosed to third parties.

Other Details

You may record the reading for review at a later time.

Do not drink any alcohol 12 hours prior to the consultation. It lowers the body’s vibration and makes it difficult to access information in the Akashic Records. Prescription drugs are acceptable.

After the session, be sure to nurture yourself and drink plenty of water.

Numerology is your personal compass

It is your specific roadmap for your unique life. Knowing the specific energies present, you can make decisions to align with those energies. Once you are aligned with your energies, you will find that life is easier, you're happier, you're more able to be more productive, successful, and attract what you want and need. It feels like everything falls into place finally. That you're headed in the right direction.

People find compassion for themselves, acceptance, and purpose.

Gain insights on:

- Your life purpose

- The challenges you face

- The karma created in a past life that affect this life

- Your unique toolbox available to you to create the life you want

- How to bridge the gap between opposing energies present

- The main themes in each part of your life

- Childhood wounds that affect your adulthood

- How to become more aligned with your path

The information you can find in your numerology chart is vast. We can really dive deep into what your heart wants, what keeps stopping you from getting to where your heart wants to go, and how to take advantage of certain energies present.

Awareness creates so much opportunity for growth, acceptance, and compassion for yourself. Some of us have such deep lessons to learn and incredible potential waiting for us to see, believe, and step into.

Numerology works so well with all the other modalities I provide. It creates a concrete way to view and understand the energies present in your life. What do you have to tackle? What do you have to heal and face? What lessons are you meant to undergo? Why is your path so smooth or so rocky? If you're off your path, how can we get you back on track? What is your soul's purpose in this life?

Many people feel seen. Many find direction and hope.

I use the The Human Body Numerology Method based in western Pythagorean numerology, taught by Tom Eckert, developed by his teacher, Sharon Ron.

Physical changes can be affected by energetic shifts. You have an aura around you and energetic centers in your body. Using psychic energy methods and Reiki, I can access and see your energy. Where is your energy being blocked? What is present in your energetic field that doesn't belong there? Which parts are flowing freely and which parts need a little boost?

MATERIALS NEEDED

- An open mind

Using Reiki methods and other tools I learned from the Berkeley Psychic Institute, I can access your energetic field and help guide you energetically.

Reiki is a Japanese technique practiced for thousands of years. Rei means spiritual wisdom. Ki means life energy. Our Ki flows through all parts of our bodies. Free and balanced flow indicates well-being. Disrupted flow indicates illness, negative thoughts, and blockages. With your permission, hands may be placed on your body in specific locations during an in-person session.
