Don't give energy to irritation. Try Myofascial Release Therapy. You Have a Choice!

This past week we took our camper up to Hunting Island just North of our home to be on the beach for a few days. This was a welcome break since all our free time has been spent watching my son Matteo play travel baseball.

Some of my friends and clients know that I typically DO NOT enjoy being uncomfortable. This is a contradiction for a healer because typically most healers go through their own challenges and healing events throughout their lives. They call it the "healers path" for a reason. The more we work on ourselves to heal physical pain, emotional pain, and energetic shifts we feel more and more amazing and live a life in alignment with our heart & soul path purpose. But with this comes the "waves". I call them waves because if we choose we are all on healing journeys that last a lifetime. Healing never ends. For some, I suppose this is discouraging but for me, I love a challenge.

As I go deeper into my healing I attract more new clients that are going deeper into their healing journey and I feel blessed that I am able to hold a safe space for them to heal deeper and live a more delicious life.

This brings me back to our camper experience. My dear overdoer wife got the camper prepared, prepped, and ready to go. Unfortunately, we both had a communication clash in that I didn't realize this time my overdoer do all partner actually wanted my help this time and she assumed I assumed she was going to do it all. Of course, this disruption triggered some old wounds from my past toxic relationship and sent me into a tailspin of pure irritation at EVERYTHING.

-The weather was too hot

-I felt bloated in my bathing suit with a few extra pounds than last summer

-I was tired

-blah, blah, blah.

After allowing myself about 30 hours to be in my own self-inflicted misery, I made a decision to feel it all then LET IT GO! Myofascial Release Therapy helps us to FEEL MORE IN our body and have a greater sense of awareness. WITH AWARENESS WE HAVE A CHOICE! That is where our power is in order to heal and take our power back.

Triggers are things that happen that cause us to bolt backward in time, a tissue memory, a word, a thought that comes rushing to the surface in the present moment. The trigger is not what your current reality is, it is just a nudge to show us that we still have more healing work to do.

So I decided to not give any more energy to my irritation. I felt it and released it and chose to shift my state of mind to the present moment. Enjoying some time with my loved ones with absolutely nothing to do but sit in the sun, breathe in the salt air, watch my son surfing waves, take a few naps, and just chill.

So the type of bodywork that I do, myofascial release has given me the gift to have a greater awareness and to choose the healing path and a path to feeling more joy. We take our power back from past trauma and hurts to feel and heal!

Here are my remaining open session times until August. Myofascial Release can help heal your physical pain, and emotional pain giving you the gift of awareness so that you can choose how you want to feel moment to moment in life. The body is the roadmap to our soul to bring up more and more layers to heal. What a beautiful gift.
