The Issues are in the Tissues

I was recently in a yoga class where the instructor made reference to the fact that there is so much content within all of us. I could not agree more with that statement.

We as humans are complex. Our bodies are capable of simultaneously processing so many things at the same time. It is truly mind blowing!

It is often underneath the layers of our personalities and public profiles where our emotions and withholds lie. At times when I slow down and breathe and get on my yoga mat or a massage table, emotions or distraught thoughts surface. It is easy enough to get annoyed that your intention to relax has shifted. This is why the mind can go wild with thoughts like, “Why did I come to class or get quiet on this massage table if I feel so much? I was fine as is! Why did I not save this massage or yoga class for when I am stressed out or in a 911 mode?.”
However, what we may choose to look at instead is that perhaps subtle disturbances in our field that we are not even aware are coming to the surface to exit and be released from our bodies so we can be freer!

I bring this up because going deeper and pulling back the layers is where the work is. Can you be uncomfortable with what is coming to the surface and still keep going or do you just avoid going to that place altogether? If so, you are not alone, many people do. This is often the case with people who refuse to slow down ever because of their fear to feel what is really going on.

The truth is our bodies hold on to past unexpressed feelings and expressions. Your challenges or issues whether they may be light or dark, big or small live in your tissues, not just your mind. The body is mysterious! There is no way of knowing when a somatic memory will surface. It just happens which is why support and consistent care is crucial on your healing journey. What you should know is that when it does, it is an opportunity to go deeper and explore that memory or event in detail and how it pertains to your life present day.

Because of this I have incorporated Steve Sisgold’s Whole Body Intelligence® methods to my massage sessions to give clients the opportunity to express and release what they are noticing while they are being touched. For some, this helps facilitates the unwinding process faster and hits the reset button. For others, the energy can be cleared silently through Energy Medicine® techniques I also employ.

I also recommend that clients allow integration time post session and perhaps journal after their massage to understand the fullness of what has occurred in their session.

At Relax and Be Free, we provide a safe, neutral space for people to heal their bodies, discharge the excess of modern life and upgrade their personal life force energy.

Our sessions are comfortable and private in a pristine environment to allow your body and spirit to let go and be truly…..Relaxed and Free.
