// 2023 CHANNEL UPDATE //
I’ve moved on from Mobility Mastery (self fascia release) in order to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of root cause discovery for pain and dis-ease that involves partner fascia release as a “diagnostics” (and regeneration) tool. Kinetix is a complete scientific methodology that I teach to friends, partners and professionals alike inside The Kinetix Academy.
My other primary focus will be the launch and growth of a new podcast and Substack community called The Human Freedom Project.
// NEW CONTENT ON CZcams //
Sometime in 2023 I will return to CZcams with HFP podcast episodes and content created to help you know and understand yourself as a whole organism made of body, soul and spirit. This content will feature the Kinetix methodology, pain science, fascia secrets I’ve learned from 15+ years in private practice, neuroscience and evolving beyond the brain, trauma and the body, and more! I’m excited to go on this new adventure with you.

BODY BASED TRAUMA HEALING:
Fascia has its own memory bank separate from the brain, and remembers everything you’ve ever been through.
Fascia is the structured water substance that nerve impulses travel through, and neural pathways are ingrained into the fascia of your body.
So fascia is the perfect place to go if you want to find out what’s stuck in your body.
Fascia also plays a role in pain of all kinds, including chronic pain related to unhealed trauma. This is because fascia is designed to respond when we feel threatened in any way by contracting to protect us.
Fascia has been shown to thicken in the presence of prolonged fear.
For those of us with a history of trauma, this often translates to dense, thick fascia that acts like armor to protect us from a dangerous world. However, the result is that we live inside bodies that give us a lot of pain, because they weren’t designed to become this dense.
Dense fascia can break easier than supple fascia, and can cause pain of all kinds.
The healing process is one of disarmament. We have to be ready and willing to take the armor off and feel everything we’ve not wanted to feel until now.
To release emotions from your body using fascia release, just adapt any fascia release technique on this channel (or any one of your choosing) and instead of making your goal to release fascia, your goal is simply to FEEL what you feel.
Start by noticing and feeling SENSATIONS. Sensations are linked to emotions, and a lot easier to “find” than emotions.
Make sure to move SLOWLY.
Slow movement reveals sensations and emotions, while fast movement will hide them.
Try not to look for emotions. Instead, just feel what you feel with as much presence as you can. Become a hunter of sensation, of FEELINGS. Even (especially) the painful ones. The painful sensations are likely where the emotions live.
Notice if you or your body reacts to protect you from feeling anything painful. Those are your coping mechanisms, which are neural pathways that will kick in not just with fascia release but other areas of your life as well.
This isn’t a quick fix. This is a practice.
If you’re also in pain, then I recommend combining these deliberate slow movements and explorations with an intention to release fascia to help restore your body’s fluidity, balance and structural integrity.

Oh my god this worked. Not to scare anyone away from doing this, totally hyperventilated and just - woah. But afterwards, I am able to breathe fully and I am so relaxed. Please come back and upload more content!! NO ONE talks about this!!
Thank you for sharing your REAL experience doing this. Your comment is going to help someone else, I just know it. That doesn't mean we will all have this experience, it means we will have OUR experience - and that is what we all need to go through to heal and it will look different for all of us.
I am planning to come back to CZcams with a podcast in 2024. I'm not sure about content like this (I stopped teaching self fascia release to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of partner fascia release and mapping that I use in my private practice), but I am very passionate about getting this kind of information out there. I appreciate the nudge!
@@ElishaCelestelooking forward to seeing new content from you soon. Take care.
So we just roll ourselves over a roller? I feel like I may have missed something important here
I am excited for your next lesson- fine if it's partnered! Just do it please. I have begun trauma release, but fibromyalgia has come as a result. So now, I have to go the distance! Help! More! I want your partnered work- today!
@@suzyhawes385 if you're ready to learn the partner method I teach, you can join my online learning center - The Kinetix Academy - today 😊 www.thehumanfreedomproject.com/kinetix-academy
Inside the Academy are 18 techniques, safety and technique tutorials, a video library guiding you through the process of learning (where to start and how to progress) and I host once a month Zoom calls for Q&A.
I have another course that's designed to help people resolve pain, heal trauma and reverse issues like fibromyalgia. It's called Mind Body Breakthrough. It has about 12 hours of video content that guides you strategically through a series of self assessments and learning how your body functions, how trauma gets trapped in the body in all kinds of ways, and how to know the difference between natural degeneration of the body vs pain and dis-ease which almost always have a nervous system component. The nervous system element typically needs to get addressed where it originated - socially. The fascia element needs to get addressed mostly physically.

Having worked through the mental side of trauma through understanding I always felt stuck with the next step. For anyone in the same boat, absolutely jump on body work
It really was the missing link when it came to healing for me! Love to everyone on their healing journeys 💜
I haven't done any of this yet but for the past month I've been taking flower essences and oh my goodness... lol. That stuff is wild.
What kind of bodywork has helped you?
Same for me. Talk therapy is great for understanding and having someone listen to you, someone who can tell you it wasn't your fault. It's great for understanding your coping mechanisms and learning about how trauma affects us. But when it comes to actually healing... that's when you need body work. The body holds the trauma, and we need body work to help the body release the toxicity that is so often making us both physically and mentally ill. Yoga (kundalini, yin and regular hatha) has been working miracles for me. Don't think I would still be here without this tool.
@@icy3004Flower essences???
Say it louder!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I have been on this journey now for about 14 months. This works 100%. There may be kick back, but plant medicine has greatly helped me in this. It allows me to go much deeper into the feeling, body, and emotion. I have released so much trauma. I have now bought a massage table and give my wife and kids massages, and walk them through this process of releasing emotions/trauma.
That's awesome! What types of plant medicines specifically? I much prefer and utilize Eastern medicine and I'd love to hear more
Hey, can you please help... How to exactly release stored emotions and which medicines?

Having trained as a ballet dancer from a very young age, everything I do comes straight from the body and everything I feel comes straight from and to the body. And it is instantaneous and can respond simply to a thought or memory. Thank you for this technique. Although you warned us that this would likely be uncomfortable, my body instantly felt better knowing it was finally being heard!
Thank you for this. I was feeling icky but couldn’t place it. I did some fascia work with a roller just like you said and when I rolled on my belly over my hysterectomy scar, I thought about the surgery and my pregnancies and how alone I was during those times and as I rolled I sobbed and sobbed. I can only hope this helps with the emotional healing from those difficult events.
Thank you for sharing ♥️

❤❤❤
Sending you love 💞
My heart truly goes put to you. Sending you love and comfort as someone who can truly relate.
Our neuro pathways are created in fascia?! 🤯 I'll be doing this technique first thing in the morning.
I've never felt so close to getting better. Gratitude 💜
I have read the book The Body Keeps the Score. There is a section devoted to how yoga can relieve CPTSD symptoms and heal our nervous system as dramatically as EMDR.
Thank you for your work in this area! I appreciate this video.
Please keep posting about the relation between fascia and trauma. This is so important and not talked a lot. Thank you!
You're welcome, and thank you for the feedback! I agree, it's not talked about enough. I will keep talking and learning and sharing 😊
Thank you Elisha. I've been listening to a lot of Gabor Mate's work on addiction and trauma lately. As a physician he concludes that ALL chronic illnesses come from childhood trauma - from emotions we were-are unable to process. The approach you describe in this video is so practical. What I love about it is, we can start from what we are feeling emotionally and see where it reveals itself in the body and meet it there OR start with the body and see what arises from the wisdom inherent in it. I experience this video as part of a great deepening of the work you've been evolving over the last decade or more. So needed now. Please keep it up! Love!
Love Gabor Maté, and I agree. I believe our unresolved conflicts and emotional pain impact our bodies in ways that can set us up to be more susceptible to illness, disease and physical pain. Thank you for the feedback and reflections 💛
Gabor Mate is a grifter.
and you are saying that because?@@johnkennedy4023
As a result of a dysregulated nervous system @@ElishaCeleste
It is an intriguing concept, experimenting with sensations as you do these techniques with help of aids. I may incorporate a few ideas and descriptions to my Hatha instruction.
This woman understands things. We all need to start listening to and utilizing these "alternative" therapies and treatments. I am currently on medical leave because of two herniated discs and a burst blood vessel next to my spinal cord. I am on week 4 of this and I am doing a little better but the first two weeks of this were hell and I got no help from 3 different doctors. I decided I would have to heal this on my own. So I have been doing my own physical therapy and stretching, and watching videos like this have really helped me. I know this video isn't for back injuries but the built up trauma in my body definitely contributed to my injury in the first place. I grew up in constant stress because of my parents and also was a marine for 4 years and went through other traumatic events in my life I was almost beaten to death with a baseball bat in a bad neighborhood in Chicago several years ago. Now that I am feeling a little better from my back injury these types of exercises have really helped me.
@dannyg4358 Keep the bed until your back heals. Simply give it enough time. You just need rest. I had a surgery for a herniated disc in the L5 sacrum as a teenager, so when it relapsed 15 years after the surgery, all I had to do was laying in bed for two weeks. I wish I knew this information before making the mistake of having the surgery as a teenager because cutting the body is one of the most absurd ideas human beings (doctors) have ever come up with.
Please look into red light therapy, both far red light and near infrared. Red light therapy is life changing for pain management and healing! You can buy your own red light lamps to use at home to get daily therapy.
Sending you my healing love & light❤
Believe health is possible. Thank you for your service. All good things are coming to you right now.
Check out Dr. John Sarno’s work on mind-body and back pain. He was one of the pioneers in this space and he started out as a doctor (MD) treating back pain.
This is great info. I went through abuse my entire life and a dog mauling. The anxiety, depression and pain and PTSD I've experienced is unreal 😢It makes sense why I have hurt not just emotionally, but physically. This is exactly what I need, thank you 😊
hugs! May God bless you and keep you.
If you're willing to fully FEEL the sensations in your body, the FEELINGS that live there...you can release emotions from your body without needing to have an "emotional release" (though the emotions may come up and out while you do this). Of course, there are lots of ways to release emotions and memories from the body. Fascia release offers a really tangible, visceral way for people who are more kinesthetic and body oriented. Let me know if this is resonating with you (or not). I'm always listening and want my content to serve you 💛
It's so good to know that we can release trapped emotions without necessarily having a big emotional release, because sometimes I get caught up in "shoulds" that aren't even true. This helps me to let go and approach this work more openly. Thanks, I needed that!
Hi Elisha, thank you for sharing your work. I’m the same, I’m more body orientated and don’t resonate much with talk therapy. I just wanted to ask though, how safe is it to work with fascia if you may have EDS? I was once working with a osteopath who told me that they thought I have EDS because of hyper flexibility in my body and how ‘stuck’ my body is. I really want to start doing some self help with my body because I can feel so much trauma stored in my body but not sure where to start.
@@sarahjane5271 you're so welcome. I'm glad you're here! So - I am hypermobile and know ALL about how easy it is to get injured. I also believe there's a trauma component here (at least for myself), having to do with being "overly flexible" in my personality in order to belong in my family as a child. I haven't been diagnosed with EDS, but I have a feeling I might be if I decided to go the western medicine diagnosis route. I've decided to film a video answering your question, which will go out on Monday. I've received this question a lot, so it's about time I film a video about it! The short answer is: fascia release is far safer than stretching for people with EDS or any kind of hyper-mobility when it's compression based. There's a difference between stretching and releasing. This is what I'll cover (and more) in the video 😊
@@ElishaCeleste Thank you so much for your response, I appreciate it so much!!! I resonate with everything you have said about EDS having a trauma component. I keep being drawn to fascia release and I’m currently dealing with mysterious health symptoms and I think working with my fascia will provide the breakthrough I need. I can just feel so much within that’s ready to be released. I can’t wait for the video!! Thank you so much again and for your time and effort in responding and sharing your knowledge. Means a lot 🙏🙌💛
Yes please, this is just what a needed: a more visceral visualization that makes these invisible energies more tangible in the healing process. Thank you!
Just spent 20 mins with foam roller on one calf. Feeling the pain sensations. Noticing my tendency to screw my face up and close my eyes in ‘self-defence’. Also to hold my breath. Simple intention now- don’t tense up, don’t try and hide ( eyes closed). Just breathe and feel in a relaxed way ❤
I am just waking up to this. I recently became a widow. I do yoga everyday.I feel great however, I went for a Swedish massage recently and it was extremely painful. I realized that my grief is throughout my body. I am grateful to learn more about . I am ready to let go. Than you ❤
Excellent. We try everything to direct our feelings and control them, but what we don’t do is let the feelings be. Yes it’s painful, but not as painful as suppressing feelings over a life time..
Great comment. Thank you
OMG!!!!! This was the best way for me to release stored emotions!!!! I rolled on a massage ball listening to meditation music for 1.5 hrs and I felt a lot lighter. My head was clear and my body feel so light. I was exhausted as if I came in from running. I had no idea that pushing through the pain would make me feel this way. Thank you for doing this video. I now have a tool that works for me.
I’ve rolled on my massage ball three times and after rolling on my right sciatica to relieve pain for 45 min., I was able to sit quietly, quiet my mind and cry. I think my body is starting to release the stress that has built up over the years.
It must have been enjoying since you'd been doing it for 1.5 hours
I’ve been disassociating for about 8 months now due to unhealed trauma from my military experience at 17 and I’ve just been non stop these last 4 years.. I’m hoping with the help of body work as well as psychotherapy that I can finally find myself again! Thanks for the videos and any additional tips would help! :)
First, thank you so much for your service. Second, in addition to trauma release this way, you may want to look into neuroplasticity based brain retraining. It does wonders for PTSD. I am using Re-Origin and am slowly healing from the effects of Lyme on my brain.
It is truly the way to heal. Stick with it❤
Thank you for your service!
Irene Lyons CZcams videos are all about healing trauma and the nervous system she has 20 + years of knowledge and has worked with people like peter Levine and others! She is one fascinating lady to listen to 😊
Please can you tell me whether this worked for you? I am dissociating since about 7 weeks and I am getting pretty desperate. Thanks in advance.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🧐 Fascia wraps every nerve ending, muscle fibril, muscle bundle, ligament, and bone, providing shape and texture to the body.
01:16 🏋️♂️ Fascia can be shaped by habits, sports, thoughts, emotions, and trauma, leading to healthy or unhealthy states.
05:15 💡 Unhealthy fascia can cause daily aches, heaviness, and restricted movement, but effective fascial release can reverse these effects.
06:55 💪 Compression and movement-based fascial release is a fast way to improve fascia's health, providing space and elasticity.
08:30 🩺 Fascia plays a vital role in pain, joint alignment, nerve communication, and various issues like plantar fasciitis, knee pain, and back pain.
09:40 💡 Effective fascial work can alleviate pain and correct alignment issues, even with just a few sessions, though professional assistance may yield faster results.
10:07 🏋️♀️ The quad and hip flexor kinetics partner technique can significantly impact pelvic alignment and improve downstream and upstream issues.

Thank you Dear user-sh6ou7mj51, Appreciate that you added that here. God Bless you !
Wow❤❤❤
Having had a CPTSD break over my last job, I've managed to turn my gaze inward and begin to follow a less egocentric existence. I'm three months into my NEW lifelong journey, and I just wanted to share that it was sheer idiosynrcacy that brought me here, exactly where I needed to be, as I struggle with releasing my emotions against a co-worker that hit a little to close to my last flame out.
Unfelt negative emotion causes stress, generates cortisol, locks up the muscles.... explains the knot in my shoulder the last 3 or 4 days. Or to simplify, "Mind/body connection". I may look at it a little differently, but we do what we must for healing and perception. Thank you Elisha, you have touched my life in a positive way. I will do my best to pay it forward : )
Many thanks for your great sharing Elisha !
Just what I needed to see. Thanks so much for posting.
Thank you! Absolutely agree and love everything you said! ✨🙏🏻
Thank you so much Elisha ❤️🙏🏽❤️
Thank you, you explain things so well.😊
So empowering....love this and your work...thank you
this video is so valuable and has truly set me free-i just found it so i’m definitely going to binge more. the process of feeling sensations has been weird and definitely disassociated my mind and body, but i’m willing to do it more everyday because I know there are definitely stuck emotions hidden from me. Thank you for all that you do! This should be taught to everyone from young ages and integrated into daily life-it could solve so many issues that all stem from the body/mind.
I have been practising yoga for 40 years and this has helped release trauma with the right teacher. From my experience once the trauma is released there is space for feeling the body as blissful and flowing and at times ecstatic! So certainly worth exploring as you become your true self. Great video explaining why and how 🙏
Years ago I bought myself a roller and within 2 seconds I was in so much pain I never used it again. If my husband merely pokes me I practically jump through the roof. I'm not sure I could do what you're saying in order to release all the trauma that is locked in my body. I may be brave and give it a few minutes but considering that getting up off the floor is now a new even more painful experience, I'm not really sure. Even stepping on the edge of my Crocs to help my arch is sometimes so painful I think I'm going to scream. But I appreciate what you shared and will consider it
I've been able to release years of stored trauma from my fascia on at least two major occasions in my life:
-Once after I was discharged from the military
-Once a few years after I'd given birth, during a time period when I was working on setting boundaries on overbearing people in my family.
Both times it liteally took me ALLLLL DAY, just moving slowly, and sometimes not moving at all, just laying on the yoga roll, breathing through the pain and allowing the fascia to release.
It was sooo painful, but in a good way. Like having loose teeth removed... but from every single knot in my body.
I was able to release my frozen shoulder, get my back, hips, legs, and everything moving and flowing again. It was incredible.
As I said, it was so very slow going- it literally took me about 8 hours on the first day. I had to rest, hydrate, take vitamins, and allow my body to recover for about a week, but then after that, I felt stronger, lighter, and more agile. I was able to move and flow again, like I hadn't been able to in years.
But yeah, it was a long, slow day of yoga to release all that. So much of that first day was literally just spent not moving, just resting each of my body's knots on the yoga roll for however long it took, just trying to relax into it and breathing through the pain until it released. At one point on that first day, my daughter, who was a toddler at the time, said: "mommy, you look like a slug." 🐌😂
Looking at it in perspective, it really didn't take long at all! Just one day to release YEARS of pain and trauma.
I'd been to doctors and physical therapists, but all my body actually needed was my own intuition, vitamins, hydration, rest, some boundaries, and a yoga roll.
Isn't it amazing that when we slowly, mindfully, intutively feel our bodies and focus on where the fascia is tight, all it takes is a day (or maybe a few weeks) to release all that pain and trauma?
Yes, it is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰🙌
This was fascinating and wonderfully explained - thank you!
Love this! Love the gorgeous rug too! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for sharing
This concept. Yes 👍🏻
This makes so much sense and I’m excited wait to start
Yes. I'd like more content like this. Thank you. 😊
such information is a gift that keeps on giving ......on daily basis .
Yes, please… more videos like this ❤️
Love it. Please share more, of trapped emotions. Thank you
Waaaw, I finally felt understood ! Thanks
Amazing!!!! I think I will have to try this! No pain no gain!!
Thank you so much for this video. Perfect!!!
Thank you. This is what I was missing. Please explain more about this.
thanks dear elisha! hugs
Thank you for sharing this.
So important to feel the sensations in the body - such a helpful video! Thank you! I was with a buddhist monch the other day for a „sensation meditation“ and it was kind of the same technique you explained. The body is the storage of all trapped emotions. Hope everyone will be ready to feel and transform them. Much love. 🙏🏼❤️
Wow! You have a great message! I am so grateful that I have been led to your channel! I have recently stepped into creating CZcams content and started with focusing on supporting and processing emotions with essential oils, I love combining the oils with the fascia release you talk about. Your video is so beautifully put together, thank you Elisha!
Thank you! You explained it so clearly. Looking forward to more videos.
This is so fascinating! I'm excited to try this!
This is amazing! Thank you 🙏
Well done. It is rare to find a video that is so spot on on what trauma is and what it takes to release the energies stored in the trauma. I could not find any fault with any of it. Well done in your journey to understand your trauma and well done in creating this video. A rare gem.
I think this video is absolutely fantastic I find it all so fascinating! Thank you ❤
Fantastic!
I LOVE THIS❤
Thank you so much ✨
Your presentations resonate with me, so feel that your technique is meant for me.

Will put this into action immediately 🙂
Grateful for your kind instructions 💞
🙏 Awesome thanks as I like to release emotions in the comfort of my own home so grateful namaste
This is incredibly useful for trauma. I appreciate the demonstration.
I’m glad I discovered this ❤ and you.
Fantastic! Thank you
Vipassana meditation is based on sensing sensations. We usually are not consciously aware of our sensation, but they are there. Past programming or patterns ( trauma- complexes) are held in the body. As we scan the body in meditation and accept the sensations as they are, they rise stay for a while and change. The changes come in energy release. By not doing this past sensations ( pain and pleasure) control our current behaviour. All addictions are caused by our past stuck energy. The more we release the past sensation ( accepting them as they are) the old stock come to the surface. This is meditation with intension to heal. Awareness and equanimity are key to this process.
Brilliant. So glad I've found you. Friend recommended. That's always the best way. Xx
great content, thank you soo much elisha celeste 🙂 warm greetings from marbella !!
Thanks for sharing such an valuable video with us
Wow. Groundbreaking for me.
Thank you very much Elisha . Pls can you give more of the practices.
Elisha! You’re a treasure!
would love to learn more about how heal trauma from a body based perspective. so happy i found your channel!
First I have ever heard of this. I look forward to learning more and actually doing this! Thank you!❤
Yes PLZ... keep teaching. Pinched nerves, planters fasciitis...trapped emotions have caused pain like this in me. Thank you!
I cannot wait to try this. Thank you for your work and passion to share the s body of work.❤
This was great, thank you! Will be trying! This also reminds me if how I did this naturally as a child, feeling safe in my home, relaxing and rolling around the floor, and sometimes stretching in the middle of it. Thank you!
As an athlete, I've been practicing myofascial release regularly for many years, as part of my recovery from training and injuries. Never with the mindset that it could help me heal from mental trauma, but it makes so much sense!
Lately I had a series of overwhelmingly crushing experiences that I have a hard time processing, and it's interesting that I can't force myself to train or to do any foam rolling. So I built up all this tension and grief and anger in my body. This video popped up in my feed yesterday and inspired me to do a good 2 hour long foam rolling session. Probably the longest one in my life, I'm just so tense and tender everywhere, it will probably take weeks to roll out.
But anyway, your approach makes a lot of sense. I'm glad I found this video!
After two long foam roll and massage ball sessions I realized why I couldn't force myself to train lately. My body stiffened up like protective armour and convinced me that I should leave it stiff while my soul hurts so much. The armour made me rigid, and my body didn't want to train in this state, because it's so easy to get injured with such a limited range of motion.
Now I understand that I will have to peel off the stiffness layer by layer, massage and stretch my body until it becomes free and mobile once again. And once I will have reclaimed my mobility, I will naturally start training again, without having to force myself.
I'm curious what realisations might come to me in the process. I really hope this will help me deal with my mental trauma.
These are really good realizations, and ponderings. We're all different, so what you need will be unique to you, and the same for others. That's the beauty of going into the body and allowing whatever is there, or reveals itself through the experience, to come into consciousness.
@@ElishaCeleste thank you!
I had another intense realization.
Years ago, I decided to turn my life around, but I never fully understood where the confidence to do it suddenly came from. Yesterday I remembered that that was when I first started foam rolling. Seriously. I never made this connection before, but indeed, I started practicing myofascial release, became more calm, and less affected by the surrounding toxicity, so I quickly built up the confidence to take a risk and change my life. Wow. What a powerful tool
Thanks so much for your helpful reminders of this bodily reality! So well-articulated and presented, and just the encouragement I needed.
Excellent 🙏💜🙏 I have been pretending to be ok all my adult life…Thank you 🙏💜🙏
Wow, I’m grateful for this video. This makes the most sense to me of anything I’ve learned about trauma so far. Thanks for this!
This is a great video to help with my trauma clients.
Thankyou! I am becoming aware.
This is great! 🙏
Excellent find. Thank you for making this video. Applying this now with a medicinal ball.
Thank you for explaining something really important. I’m trying to overcome my trauma with haptotherapy, which has also got to do a lot with feeling, sensations and emotions.
Keep up the good work Elisha.
This is such a great explanation of how painful moments get stuck. Thank you. More videos on body work to release Trauma.
I didnt blink at all as this video took over my mind. Its so helpful. Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
my guardian angels brought me to this; I really needed to c this video. U r also a natural instructor.
Thank you Elisha
This is great. I foam roll for my knees and it fees amazing but didnt really consider rolling for emotions which is actually what i’ve really been trying to heal. Now i can do both at once thank you 😊
What you are sharing from personal experience is very impactful…. I’m on similar journey and. Glad to trip over your videos
Hi Elisha, THis does hurt-- everywhere but I can feel & imagine the tension moving out and that is my goal. Loved it.
Makes a lot of sense!
I would love to start learning from you right from the basics! Thank u for being such an amazing teacher- this is the first video i have watched of yours
Fascinating video, and I really like your delivery. I started Buddhist chanting in 2013 and it kick-started a process of active healing, along with changes in my thinking. My practice continues to this day and my body is so different now, as is my mind in all its functions. I have felt my fascia moving under my skin, swirling, realigning movements and sometimes a kind of jerk of release. In meditation, which developed slowly over the last decade, when my body is completely still apart from very light breathing, I can still feel it, its presence, even though it's not touching or moving against anything. I've wondered what that is about for a good while now and this video has given me the answer, so thank you :)
This is exactly what I needed, thank you so much for addressing this obscure subject.
You're very welcome, Alan. I hope this practice serves you well!
Your explanations and approach greatly resonate with me. In Eugene Gendlin's psychotheraputic process of "Focusing", a fundamental part of that process is attempting to access what he calls the "felt sense" inside you.
"A felt sense is not a mental experience but a physical one. Physical. A bodily awareness of a situation or person or event. An internal aura that encompasses everything you feel and know about the given subject at a given time-encompasses it and communicates it to you all at once rather than detail by detail".
Wow, you have uncloaked things that had previously seemed to me to be somewhat mysterious about Dr. Gendlin's concept of felt sense!
Thank you so much!

Done! And - I'd love to know what you find fascinating, specifically. If you're willing to share 😊 Sometimes I think I'm "too close" to the material I teach, so it helps me to hear from people who are learning these things for the first time (or in new ways).
