I have been practicing as a certified Rosen Method Bodywork practitioner and Rosen Method movement teacher since 2004. Rosen Method uses a unique form of touch and talk to expand a client's awareness of their present moment felt experience.  It is a way to access feelings and experiences through the body.  Present moment experiencing of body sensations and emotions can lead to relaxation of muscle tension.  Chronic muscle tension is one way to suppress emotion and the consequences of stress.  Chronic suppression of emotion predisposes people to higher levels of disease.  Long-term emotion suppression impairs the immune system leading to possible serious illnesses.  People who habitually suppress their emotions report less satisfying interpersonal relationships and reduced ability to form lasting partnerships.  The relaxation of muscles and expression of suppressed feelings, therefore, is likely to alleviate these and other conditions.
