What is the TARA Approach?
This powerful modality balances the energy systems and restores the nervous system by working at the cellular level, allowing for a deep sense of reconnection to Self. This unique trauma-informed modality integrates the ancient Japanese energy medicine Jin Shin with Neuropsychology. Developed by Neuropsychologist Dr. Stephanie Mines, this approach aims to be a Tool for Awakening Resources and Awareness (hence the name TARA).
Dr. Mines has taken the Japanese Healing Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu and has applied it to today's world. Most people don't necessarily see themselves as being in shock. Dr. Mines suggests that if you live in a human body within an advanced technological society, your body probably reverberates from shock. The level of stress in modern cultures has direct and profound impact on the human energy system. Though you may not be aware of them, echoes of past and present stress and shock are nestled in your biochemistry, and they limit you. They limit your adaptability, flexibility, creativity, judgment, and capacity for joy. You can do a great deal to change your biochemistry in ways that will heal you and free you.
By utilizing the power of touch, balance is brought to the body's energy, promoting optimal health and well-being, facilitating our own profound healing ability. The Art of Jin Shin Tara is a simple and powerful tool, as well as a valuable complement to conventional healing methods.
How does it improve the impacts of Shock/Trauma?
Shock is the most severe form of trauma. It occurs when resources are non-existent, insufficient, or impossible to access. When shock that is stored in the body is activated, all unresolved shocks are simultaneously activated. This activation occurs at unconscious levels that are neither logical nor consistent. Trauma, on the other hand, is activated thematically. In other words, one can feel odd, nervous, impulsive, ill, uncomfortable or any other sensation, and not know that this is the result of shock activation. When trauma is activated, there are patterns that are understandable. The physiological responses to shock are long term. Chronic conditions represent an adaptation to shock. For this reason the resolution of shock is dependent on resourcing. The TARA Approach is unique in providing interventions specifically adapted for the resolution of shock.
Resilience is the result of multilateral diversity in the nervous system. For too long trauma treatment advisors have proclaimed the singular route of down-regulation as a path of recovery from trauma. The TARA Approach offers the multilateral approach of not only down and up regulation, but of combinations of both, to meet the challenges of our climate crisis and all of the other crises that accompany it. The demands on our nervous systems have never been greater.
The TARA Approach has developed specific interventions for multilateral balance or harmonizing the sympathetic and parasympathetic arms of the nervous system and in this way is highly unique to its approach to trauma and shock treatment.
What does a session feel like?
A Jin Shin Tara session lasts about one hour. This gentle art is practiced by placing the fingertips (over clothing) on designated pathways, to restore and harmonize an energy "flow." During each session, self-help techniques will be offered for home use. Positive changes that are most common include: relaxation and well-being to body & spirit, increased stress resilience, better coping, improved mood, relief from pain, and increase in mental and physical energy.
