Addressing the physical manifestation of problems through fascia work, acupressure or any other physical modality to correct structural alignment. Becomes challenging if the often times underlying emotional residues are not, noticed, felt, heard, seen and cleared first. There are times when injury or accident is purely physical and is a quick fix but, in my experience, this is only in approximately 10% of cases. In most cases you become the healer and I guide and facilitate that healing.
The residues of traumatic events experienced in our lifetime, since conception and arguably even before conception. Become locked in our body, an area of contraction resulting from constriction, when we froze or stopped breathing from the shock or paralysing fear we experienced. This is usually the case if we experience and repeat ‘patterns’ in our life. Recurring injuries are also an indicator of residual trauma effects.
Contraction or constriction, anywhere in the body prevents the easeful flow of body fluids. When our body fluids cannot flow in areas, maintenance to those areas ceases to function optimally. Macrophages can’t move freely to remove damaged or unhealthy cells and affected areas begin to atrophy. As hardening of the tissue increases the area grows larger and spreads. And so does the pain. This is the body telling us something needs to be addressed.
Bringing movement through breath to these constricted areas will open them up to the natural healing power of our body’s own immune system. The body knows how to heal itself and only needs the right support. We allow the body to inform us as to what it needs in the way of support, now and then next.
Releasing the residues of emotional trauma is the first step toward correcting the physical manifestation of emotional stress in the physical body. Again, the body knows what you need to do to access and release these emotional residues from the body. The subconscious will present visions, memories, feelings through sensations in the body.
Learning to listen to the body is the first step to receiving the wisdom of your body. The next step is having the courage to be with whatever comes up and observe it, passively. Then inquiring into what it wants you to know. Moving out of blame or shame for whatever is presenting, knowing that it just was. In this state, a detachment can occur, bringing the breath into the sensation, the emotion, without getting involved in the emotion. It is past, we can’t change it but we can dissolve its power over us, just by being with it, in equanimity. Bringing the light in to shine in those dark places we rather not go. Our shadow side. The more we reveal, uncover, discover, notice, see, feel, the more dissolution of its power we will achieve. Keep inquiring and accepting, allow it’s easeful passage through and away from us. Offering it the earth as compostable or to the heavens for transmutation in the light.
Sometimes a child self will need to be rescued by you, I will guide you through that process. Following some necessary realisations and commitments.
Then the body is ready to receive the physical support of spinal flow and massage.
This has been my learning in the ten years of exploration I have undertaken since I ceased operating as Soft Tissue Solutions in 2014.
The deep tensions held in the fascial matrix of the body are often emotional in origin and must be released emotionally to allow physical release.
Accessing the areas of deep fascial constriction is most efficiently achieved through intentional breathing patterns and focus on feeling in the body for the sensations that will connect mind and body to work together, to release what the body knows must first be released to begin working down through the layers of protection that we have built in our ego’s attempts to protect us.
When we accept the mind cannot heal the body and shift attention from the mind to the body. Listening to the messages from the body we can begin to release the emotional charge that has resided in the body, unresolved, often for many years.
This process requires careful listening and guidance that I have trained to provide for over 800 hrs and many more hours of practise over the last three years. Since I discovered the root cause of maladies manifesting in the physical form.
I have also trained in Spinal Flow practise, a subtle energetic influence on the spinal fluid to clear blockages that impinge on the nervous system. This system comes out of chiropractic knowledge that works energetically rather than through manipulation and is proving extremely effective.
With these three modalities and a lifetime experience in the subtle workings of mind and body, gained through practises such as Tai Chi, Qui Gong and Breathwork, I believe I have a strongly supported ethos in helping people realise their own healing process. To live a fuller and more connected lives.
