Hello this is Athena Jezik!
-
We're back at
-
doing some more
-
massage work,
-
bodywork, whatever seems to come up today.
-
I've been getting a lot of really good emails
-
and i appreciate that and
-
thank you for all the comments on the site and the thumbs up because that helps
-
us to know if we're doing a good job.
-
So please continue to make comments and maybe offer suggestions or ask
-
questions and
-
see how we can accommodate that.
-
I've been getting some really good emails
-
so I thought I might
-
take this a little bit further and show you a few more things
-
that
-
won't probably give you much to practice with, but it will give you
-
some ideas of what all there is out there in the realm of body work.
-
Some of it is moving into more of an energetic
-
position which the lymphatic and the cranial sacral therapy
-
does work a little more energetically
-
but you can find that in the muscles as well.
-
So we're just going to start out
-
working
-
like a general massage but what I'm gonna do
-
right away is, there's a thing that we do in
-
bodywork, more advanced bodywork, involving
-
mapping the body
-
but not mapping it like the cranial mapping but
-
scanning the body with the hand and you can oftentimes feel where there is
-
disturbances in the
-
energetic field,
-
which will relate to something going on underneath the body.
-
I know for some of your it's gonna seem like very weird things
-
but until you
-
experience it or find it in your hands,
-
it's best to reserve your criticism
-
until you understand a little bit more
-
how the energy works, how the body works, and what's going on
-
at many other levels that were not accustomed to knowing about.
-
Right in this area is where I'm
-
finding some
-
stress going on. There's not a good feel to the energy field right there. It
-
feels a little agitated. It kind of feels like a wash machine agitator.
-
So I would guess that in here there's some kind of tightness and
-
there is.
-
Does this feel like tightness to you Corrina?
-
And you can use the
-
skills of
-
scanning the body.
-
You come up with a lot more
-
things that are connected at different areas of the body.
-
So I'm gonna focus there a little bit inside of
-
all of the regular work that I would do
-
in a massage session.
-
Please bear in mind that I do very little massage anymore.
-
I incorporate it in
-
to help muscles relax or to
-
move a little bit of fluid. When the fluids are moved out I will
-
go over it
-
with manual work.
-
But I'm gonna concentrate here
-
to start with.
-
What I'm doing is just
-
bringing a nice thumb iron
-
up through this area that was tight going crosswise
-
and just using the finger along there.
-
When you find an area that has a little bit of weakness or tension in it
-
you can focus in on just working that area.
-
There's quite a bit of tension actually right in through this entire area.
-
Checking both sides
-
to see exactly how the tension is. If it's symmetrical
-
then there is more of a balance than if it's
-
not.
-
Okay so I'm gonna come back up here,
-
back to that. Let's open up some of the muscles that are around that area
-
because as you are well aware
-
the muscles and the attachments and the way pain refers around the body
-
it's like
-
reading some kind of a map that changes all the time
-
because there's not any direct thing that happens.
-
There's tendencies that happen. There's
-
things that you
-
kinda figure but
-
really and truly when you're working with body work they are so many things
-
that can happen
-
to take a body out of balance that
-
the more intuitive that you work
-
and the less
-
step one step two step three that you work
-
with your thinking
-
process
-
the more effective you're going to be
-
in the results that you have.
-
It's a very good idea to have a good thorough routine to pick up these things
-
but when you get more advanced in the work and start to
-
pickup energies of the body then
-
that's when the work begins to change and becomes much more personalized
-
for each person.
-
So i'm doing my basic old
-
forever
-
massage routine here.
-
Making sure that the rest of the muscles of the body are
-
at least relaxing down and then I can focus a little more on the muscles that are
-
having a difficult time
-
relaxing
-
probably because of a
-
twisting
-
or contortion,
-
being overstressed, overworked,
-
being held into an abnormal position for a long period of time.
-
Different things like that can all bring
-
muscles into a
-
little more stressed situation.
-
Here's where it is.
-
And I'm just, you know,
-
following that.
-
There's really not anything that's
-
exact in what you do as a body worker.
-
You can do whatever comes to you to do because oftentimes
-
you'll have an intuitive sense about it
-
and when I talk like this, this is really much more advanced type of work.
-
The people that have
-
gone into this work for a while and
-
practiced and have a lot of different
-
bodies under their hands,
-
they begin to really see the body in a completely different way.
-
The techniques are good but
-
when we get too much that, you know, "to correct this we have to do this this
-
this and this..."
-
I've seen over the years
-
way way way too many people that aren't getting helped and they go back and
-
back to these different modalities and
-
there's very little change that happens over long periods of time.
-
Those are not effective therapies for whatever's going on.
-
They may have had some assistance and help
-
along the way but when the
-
therapy
-
is not giving you
-
a good
-
clear forward momentum in
-
it's correction then you may want to look for
-
something else that would better assist the body.
-
So i'm just doing the normal
-
routine
-
again
-
and being quite thorough with it
-
and coming into that tension. You can feel the tension. It's still there
-
but it's softening
-
quite a bit.
-
So because it doesn't feel like it's wanting to come out
-
very quickly with just the massage technique
-
there apparently is more going on.
-
So I'm going to go a little more subtly with this area and see if we can unlock some
-
of this going on.
-
It's right along the edge of the
-
erector spinae.
-
It's coming up a little bit into the trapezius, so there is some of that
-
involved.
-
I don't think the rhomboid is involved in this, which feels like it's
-
the trapezius and the erector spinae
-
primarily
-
that is doing the
-
work and getting itself a little bit out of sync.
-
Here I have my fingers along the edge of the muscle along where the
-
vertebrae is. I'm kind of pulling it aside
-
and i'm just gonna hold it here and there's not a lot of pressure.
-
It may look like there's some pressure but it's really not very forceful at
-
all.
-
What I'm gonna do from here is I'm gonna lighten it up even more. Just lighten
-
it
-
and lighten it.
-
Take less and less force, pulling it all the way up until
-
it feels like i'm just barely interfacing with
-
the skin.
-
When I get to a point where it feels like there's
-
no resistance
-
on the back or the fingers, which right now I've got it.
-
It's going to start to do it's unwinding.
-
And it's important to stay connected to it.
-
It's important to pay attention to what's going on.
-
What we're seeing here is it's turning itself into
-
a direction
-
which is probably gonna help it to
-
release.
-
This is where the body knows what to do, the consciousness of the body.
-
I know that's very hard for some of you out there to grasp
-
but it's time for us to start to think about
-
things in a different way than what we've been taught bacause much of what we've
-
been taught hasn't been
-
accurate.
-
If we were taught these sorts of techniques and different things like
-
this in alternative medicine,
-
good eating,
-
healing serous diseases with food,
-
we would have a whole different scene as far as
-
the medical scene.
-
There wouldn't be as much sickness going on.
-
So it's time for us
-
to realize that
-
you know, industry
-
in medicine is maybe
-
in order to make a profit.
-
We may want to examine what it is that brings profit and
-
start to look at things a little more objectively and
-
not so much out of fear.
-
lWe've lost our connection
-
with a lot of things. It's time to get that back.
-
And I know there's a lot of you out there that understand this. Now, what's happening
-
under here
-
is there's a lot more softening and it doesn't feel like there's that ridge
-
at all.
-
It's been dissolved.
-
That's an easy
-
one to fix.
-
Actually, I didn't fix it I just held the space for it to be
-
able to
-
work its way through.
-
Then of course the same thing can go on with the other side.
-
I'm just gonna do a little here. The cameras are set up in a way that i can't get to that
-
side.
-
So fortunately her
-
trauma side was on the right side that we needed.
-
This way you can just see it's a work with the hands and the fingers and
-
the connection with it all.
-
When you're working with energy of the body or you're even going in
-
more intuitively into something
-
the way that that's done is you have to really get out of your head to
-
do that. It's a different
-
knowing.
-
it's a different place of knowing.
-
you kind of have to split your head and
-
know what you're doing and kind of have an understanding in that regard but you also have to
-
trust
-
what you're getting at another level
-
and that's a very hard thing to come into but it does make a lot of difference.
-
Just yielding over to what is
-
out there rather than trying to figure it out.
-
Just a little circular stuff and then I'm gonna
-
give a nice vertebral
-
stretch going up the back.
-
And checking the sacrum
-
and occiput.
-
And this again comes to lightening. It's a good thing to do this because then you
-
have the dural tube also being able to unwind.
-
Particularly after there's been wound up muscles along the vertebrae.
-
It's been my experience with my hands to notice that this is a very good way to
-
just assure that the deepest core part of the body is able to find it's way to
-
its correction as well
-
as everything lays out from that spot, from that whole core.
-
So if that isn't in alignment nothing else will really be in alignment
-
and there's quite a bit of
-
movement from
-
the occiput
-
down to here. I can feel quite a bit of shifting.
-
Then going over this now it's very smooth energetically.
-
Okay
-

-
piece please give it a thumbs up and
-

-
I know we all try to get back to that and have a little interaction with you but
-
we do enjoy reading it
-
even if we don't respond to all of your comments.
