freiraum - what is it all about?
What is Body Therapy?
Body therapy is a holistic treatment that sees body and mind not a dualism but as one, recognizing that physical pain and emotional well-being are deeply linked. Stress, anxiety, grief, and other emotions can manifest as tension, discomfort, or pain in the body—just as physical imbalances can affect our mental state.
A session typically includes deep-tissue massage, acupressure, breathwork, reflexology, and gentle joint mobilization. These techniques help the body release tension, restore balance, and support natural healing by stimulating the lymphatic system and improving the connection between body and breath.
Body therapy can be beneficial for stress, anxiety, sleep issues, tension, injuries, chronic pain, and more. Each session is tailored to your needs, starting with a conversation to understand your challenges, followed by hands-on treatment to help you relax, let go, and regain a sense of physical and emotional freedom.
What is motion therapy?
Rather than following a single method or technic, in the movement guided therapy we explore what supports you in this moment and how movement can be experienced in a way that feels relevant and sustainable—tailored to your needs and goals.
The focus may include breathing, motor control, mobility, strength, flexibility, recovery movement, or a combination of these areas. This crossover approach allows you to find awareness in a way that supports your individual needs and balance.
Balance is not something we find—it’s something we create through movement, exploration, and experience.
What is Mindfuldness?
One of the terms frequently used today is mindfulness, a concept rooted in Buddhist tradition. In Pali, the word is sati, while in Sanskrit—found in texts like The Yoga Sutra by Patanjali—the equivalent term is smṛti. Sanskrit, an ancient language of the Brahmin class, predates Pali, which was more commonly spoken and accessible to a wider audience, including women. Some scholars even suggest that Pali may have been adapted specifically for spreading the Buddha’s teachings.
This reminds us that spiritual traditions are shaped by human experience—constantly evolving as they move through different cultures and contexts. As teachings like mindfulness enter our lives, they don’t remain static; they interact with our personal and societal realities. This adaptation isn’t a loss but an essential part of their vitality. Ethical principles, like non-violence or honesty, become meaningful through our engagement with them—through practice, struggle, and integration into daily life.
The essence of sati or smṛti is “to remember”—to return. Rather than a passive state, it’s an active process of coming back: back to the present moment, back to our bodies, back to our hearts, and back to the reality of our lived experience. Mind is not in the brain: mind permeates the whole.
What is resonance?
I let Hartmut Rosa (2017) talk here: “I need to be able to come into contact with things and with people in such a way that I can be changed through the encounter. A good life is a life lived in relation to something out there — this may be other people, nature, or a moment within it.” (Herder Korrespondenz, 10/2017)
