I'll say a little about emotional release here. Due to various experiences in one's past, various resources were put on hold, the doorways camouflaged until readiness is attained. One might say that "the setup" of our belief systems in the formative years of life also set us up for a kind of incremental earning of our stored resources and energy. Readiness for the earning is attained through forgiveness of what one believes (consciously or unconsciously) is a 'detour' from the intended path. But forgiveness happens as this detour becomes realised as simply part of the process of learning to be all one is, of up-dating parts of self with the rest of self. (Elaboration on this in other writings). That part of the healing process is the most exciting, yet it takes the most application of faith, persistence, and "homework."

         This is the work of integrating the "inner child," the "critical parent," and the other aspects of the "Emotional Body." (One school of thought bases much of that in what they call "completing communications.") It is about releasing stored emotion along with the filters and judgments (as parts of beliefs) that maintained their storage. This returns the muscles to optimal bio-magnetic state -- as well as the cells down river of the vessels that were cramped by the hyper-tense musculature. And that is only a few things that happen on the physical level (among many described in publications on massage, physical therapy, osteopathy, etc.).
         Such release clears the access to previously blocked awarenesses. I like to describe it as a process whereby the "family" of organs, cells, and systems (including the musculature) are "Re-inter-connected" by and through Spirit to take the necessary steps to be reminded of, and encouraged to return to, operation according to their original DNA-instructed design, to their divinely designed "Blueprint." I also refer to this learning process as "re-parenting" or "Well-Body-Parenting," which mostly occurs as one releases the usually unconscious, ill-felt need to send messages that interfere with that original design, nature, and function. In this state the cells resume fine-tuned communication, spontaneous resource sharing, and optimally synchronized teamwork under every condition.

         These "movements" appear to be verified by the various patterns of breathing and tension through the body, by clients' descriptions of their experience, and by my own feeling senses (empathy). I'm guided by a number of things, including, I believe, by the conscious, semi-conscious, and unconscious recognition of patterns (especially as regards muscle tension, texture, patterns in holding and movement, etc.), as well as by the corresponding un/semi-conscious access of knowledge related to those patterns (as I believe that this is part of what intuition is). [Ref/keyword: Hakomi] During this kind of work, given such as the above "cues," I have often witnessed various interesting phenomenon - perhaps conventionally defined as an intense "right-brain" or "alpha-state" experience, and the apparent exit and re-entering of the client's conscious focus into/out of the body. At other times I just get the strong impression someone is doing 'heavy' thinking, or maybe day-dreaming. By the way, these skills of perception are not uncommon to hands-on practitioners.

         Given that awareness to begin with, I may also notice specific perceptual enhancements in my own being in those moments, changes that I've found to be signs of what perceptual capabilities the client is (consciously or unconsciously) experiencing or utilizing (especially when doing the PRQ's, Invoc-Q's, or other spontaneous prayer-Q's, as noted further above). I may interpret this as S/he is likely using/feeling these elements at that moment and I am empathising the experience to some degree.
         I often get to feel the parent-child relationship as related to the experience that led to the initial over-tensing and pattern-holding (chronic tension) in the musculature -- as much as I am capable of opening my heart to it at the time. Or I might trust that a part of the client's higher self is using various signs -- via the state or movement of the musculature -- to communicate to keep me sufficiently on track of the experience so to be able to respond appropriately.
         All of which can roughly indicate the nature of the client's subjective experience. And of course, I find there's generally nothing more verifying of the client's experience than simply checking in with the client -- at the time or later. In fact, oftentimes the client's description is much more dramatic than my own perceptions, although they frequently report not being able to remember various details, in particular how they "got there."

         One way of defining this work is that of detail-focused orientation on the re-opening (and re-establishing) of the micro-cosmic order, as well as on the macro-cosmic, and of bridging of the intra-cellular, intra-systemic, and intra-mind-body-spirit communications. Integrating various energy/body-awareness work, such as using the PRQ/Invoc-Q, Blueprint, & re-parenting system along with the work, facilitates a most efficient "re-membering" of the bodily systems. The resulting releases are on both physical and emotional levels, although the timing may lag between the physical and the emotional releases, and much physical release may occur following the session - usually over a period of 1-3 days. In either case the result is increased access to inner resources, increased capacity for preventative health maintenance, increased personal growth, and manifesting more of one's highest potentials.
         While much of the actual work on the part of the client occurs off the massage table, in daily life, I am available for follow-up session-work and/or instruction as necessary. This may also take the form of a brief question and answer communication by email or phone.
