LUISA BURTON GREEN IS THE NEW SEXY In the modern wellness world, where yoga, breath work, and meditation have become household words, a new practice is quietly making waves: spinal energetics. Gentle, powerful, and deeply transformative, it’s a modality that encourages us to reconnect with the wisdom of the body, one subtle ripple of the spine at a time. I had a fantastic session with intuitive practitioner Barbra May at her clinic in London. A NEW KIND OF HEALING Spinal energetics is not about fixing or forcing; it’s about allowing. Guided by a trained practitioner like Barbra, participants are invited into an experience where the body begins to move in wave-like patterns, rolling, swaying, or arching as if releasing tension it has held for years. The result? A sense of spaciousness, freedom, and often profound emotional release. “Your spine reflects the truth of your inner world. Every unprocessed emotion leaves an energetic imprint, shaping not only your body but the way you see life itself. Through this profound work, energy is set in motion—excess is released, emptiness is replenished—restoring balance, harmony, and clarity.” - Barbra May THE WISDOM OF THE SPINE In holistic traditions, the spine has always been revered as more than bones and nerves. In yoga, it is the pathway of kundalini energy; in Chinese medicine, it is a channel for life force or chi.

When the spine is gently activated in a safe environment, people often describe feeling more alive, more connected, and more present. It’s as if the body remembers how to move freely again not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. WHAT A SESSION FEELS LIKE Every session is unique, but common threads run through the experience. Barbra may use light touch, grounding presence, or energy-based techniques to encourage the spine to release naturally. Clients often find themselves moving spontaneously sometimes in flowing waves, other times in subtle tremors...... Read more on Full Issue!
