Introducing Myofascial Unwinding
|
|
Caring Palms has recently added Myofascial Unwinding to its
menu of services. Although Brian learned
this technique over three years ago, it has been used sparingly, and only when
the unwinding process was started by the client during some other session. However, recently it has been the key to
helping several people with issues ranging from stress to auto accidents to
everyday reactions to things. Although
it is an unusual, yet very good form of therapy, it has been offered, but not
advertised. Brian felt that with the
need for it increasing, it would become part of Caring Palms' standard services
offered.
Myofascial Unwinding is a method of releasing unwanted
energy from the body. Every memory of
everything we have done in our lives is stored as energy in every cell of our
bodies. This energy can cause us problems unless it is released because
it is linked to all of our experiences, the good as well as the bad.
Memories such as sexual abuse, auto accidents, or any other memory based energy
can affect us in how we act or react to things. Unwinding is a way of
releasing this energy. It involves allowing your body to go in the
positions where it wants to go while a therapist watches over you, keeps you
safe, and helps you through the process.
For more information on Myofascial Unwinding, please read
the article below as it is featured as this month's Modality of the Month.

Myofascial Unwinding
Every memory of everything we
have done in our lives is stored as energy in every cell of our
bodies. This energy can cause us problems unless it is released
because it is linked to all of our experiences, the good as well
as the bad. Memories such as sexual abuse, auto accidents, or
any other memory based energy can affect us in how we act or
react to things. Unwinding is a way of releasing this energy.
John Barnes discovered that our
bodies need to release energies to be able to let go of past
issues. If you were to watch a dog as it gets up or lies down,
you will see that it does not simply get up or lay down. It
goes through a lot of movement. When a dog gets up, it usually
shakes itself. When it lies down, it will move in circles
several times. This is a form of releasing energy.
Because we are humans, and
slightly more complex mentally, we tend not to do things like
this. It also means that being more complex, we don't do all
the natural things to help ourselves. That is why unwinding was
developed.

Help in Surviving Holiday Craziness
|
|
by Brian Dean
Welcome to the craziness of the season. This is the time of the year where people go
rushing around trying to find the perfect gift.
A time when the malls are jam packed and parking is scarce. Where getting into the stores and getting to
the merchandise involves being pushed, shoved, and stepped on. Yes, it's the holidays. That time when negative energy abounds during
the season of love and giving.
While there is a lot of negativity out there, you can go
forth right through it, untouched, with just a little effort and
awareness. I'm talking about using
positive energy to offset and block out the negativity. Here are a few tips to help you cope through
the craziness.
First off, try to plan enough so that you are not going out
in a rush. I'm not saying that you need
to know everything you are going to get ahead of time. I am saying not to go rushing around looking
for it. The stress of rushing is one of
the biggest factors causing problems out there.
The feeling that there is no time left causing people to go tearing
through the malls and climbing over people is where most of this negativity
comes from. Relax. Go about your shopping calmly. And as you stay calm, you can watch all the
other people climbing over each other as they rush from place to place.
Do calming exercises before going out. Meditation can be a wonderful calming and
focusing tool to set yourself in the proper state before mixing in the fray.
A deep breath is also a great technique. Whenever you feel yourself getting stressed,
take a deep breath (or two or three).
Remind yourself that good energy comes in and negative energy goes
out. Then proceed with what you were
trying to do.
One technique that many energy workers (me included) use is
called shielding. This is where you
create a shield of energy around you to protect yourself from negative
energy. It is very similar to the
shields used to protect the Enterprise
on Star Trek. To shield, visualize
energy coming in through the palms of your hands creating a ball of light
around you. Once you have this ball,
relax it until it is as tight around you as you can get it. Say to yourself, "Good energy comes in, bad
energy bounces off and goes away." This
will set things so that good energies are allowed to enter your shields, but
negative energies will not. Once you
have the vision, just push it to the back of your mind. Know it is there, but don't concentrate on
it. When you are out of the fray and
want to take the shields down, just visualize the energy no longer coming in
through your hands.
One more point is to keep positive. Remember the love you have for the people you
are shopping for. Love is positive
energy. If you keep loving thoughts as
you go about your day, you will have surrounded yourself with positive energy,
and negativity will not be able to touch you.
And if you are surrounded by positive energy, you can
actually pass that out to the people around you. Smile at the clerk at the checkout. Be nice to the store personnel. Putting out positive energy, even with a
simple smile can change someone's attitude, and make them feel better. It may only last for a few irate customers in the
checkout lines, but even to improve someone's day for just a moment can be
magic.
So go placidly amid the fray of noise and confusion, and
pass love and peace to those you come in contact with. It will make them feel better, even if it is
for a short time. And more importantly,
it will make you feel better.
Take care. Have a
positive holiday season.
