💧 We’re made of water and when we remember that, everything changes.

In December’s Fluid Body module of Myofascial Energetic Release, we’ll explore how simple rocking and wave-like movements can ease the grip of stress, soften the joints, and bring us back to a calmer, more natural rhythm.

For practitioners, it’s a beautiful way to support your clients between deeper techniques, giving the body time to settle and integrate. And the best part? It feels nourishing both to receive and to share.

Most people blame their wrists when pain shows up… but the hidden culprit might be your hands and thumbs. 🖐️

Think about it: everything you do daily - typing, scrolling, cooking, gripping, lifting - loads tension into the tiny fascia layers of your palms and thumbs. Over time, that tightness pulls through the fascia chains all the way into your wrist. The result? Achy, stiff, or “weak” wrists.

👉 The truth: It’s rarely just about the joint. Fascia is a continuous web - what happens in one area often echoes in another.

Try this awareness exercise today:
1️⃣ Stretch your thumb gently away from your palm, hold for 10 sec.
2️⃣ Massage the fleshy pad under your thumb (yes, that sore spot).
3️⃣ Notice how your wrist feels after - more space, less tension?

This is the power of working with fascia, not against it. When you care for the hands, your wrists thank you.

Have you ever thought your hand tension could be the real reason behind your wrist pain? Drop a comment if this resonates.

📌 Save this post so you can come back to the quick release anytime.

Did you know?
The pain you feel isn’t always where the problem begins.

A tight hip can trigger lower back pain.
A locked jaw can create tension in your neck.
Even your feet can influence your shoulders.

This is called referred tension – when the body sends pain signals from one place, while the real restriction hides somewhere else.

✨ In Myofascial Energetic Release (MER), we look beyond the symptom. By working with the fascia and restoring flow, we address the root cause, not just the painful spot.

Your body is more connected than you think.

Ever notice how sometimes your body feels anxious for no reason… or so drained you can barely move?
That’s your nervous system holding on to a survival state.

🔥 Sympathetic (Fight/Flight) – high alert, tense muscles, racing thoughts.
❄️ Dorsal Vagal (Freeze/Shutdown) – low energy, numbness, disconnection.

Both are normal in short bursts - but when we get stuck, they can impact our mood, energy, and health.

✅ The good news? Your system can learn to switch gears again.

Bodywork. Grounding. Gentle movement. Safe connection.
Small steps send your body the message: It’s safe now.

💬 Have you ever felt “stuck” in one of these states?

When the fascia around the cranium becomes restricted, it limits the brain’s natural ability to expand and contract - a motion essential for healthy brain function.

This subtle movement, sometimes called the "primary respiratory mechanism," supports the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, nourishes the brain, and plays a role in emotional regulation. When this rhythm is disrupted, we may feel it as:

🔹 mental fog
🔹 tension headaches
🔹 anxiety or overwhelm
🔹 difficulty focusing
🔹 a general sense of internal pressure or disconnection

The fascial web doesn’t just live in the body - it weaves through the skull, around the brain, and down the spine. Tension in one area can reverberate through the whole system.

This is where Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) offers something unique.

Through presence-based, trauma-aware touch, MER helps unwind these fascial restrictions - including those around the head and neck. Rather than forcing or manipulating, the practitioner listens deeply to the tissue, allowing the body to guide the process.

💫 As the fascia softens, the brain regains space to breathe.
💫 Cerebrospinal fluid begins to flow more freely.
💫 A quiet reorganization happens - often felt as calm, clarity, and connection.

This is not just therapy for the body.
It’s a gentle return to the rhythms we were always meant to feel.

MER Module Fluid Body: Joint release and joint mobilization in Denmark!

Give the body back its rhythm.

Stiff joints and tension patterns don’t just limit movement - they block the flow of energy.

In this MER module, you’ll learn how to bring subtle movement and wave-like flow back into the body’s inner structure.

When certain areas become rigid or disconnected, they interrupt the natural communication between parts of the body. This training focuses on restoring that connection - softening resistance, reintroducing rhythm, and allowing held tension to gently release..

✨ What you’ll experience:
🔹 A full-body system to mobilize all major joints
🔹 Myofascial unwinding for deep somatic release
🔹 Verbal cues that guide clients through integration
🔹 Rocking, compression & rotation techniques to soften and open
🔹 How to work with the body’s fluid intelligence (remember, we’re 70% water!)

This is the perfect complement to the deeper tissue work from the first five modules - and a deeply pleasurable experience for both you and your clients. Most people leave feeling lighter, freer, and more whole.

Give the body space. Let the healing flow.

Beneath the surface of your skin lies a web of intelligence - your fascia.
It's not just tissue; it’s a silent witness to your life story, holding tension, memories, and emotion.

Ever felt sudden tears during bodywork? Or unexpected anger during a stretch? That’s fascia speaking.

When we release these deep layers, we don’t just free the body - we liberate the emotions woven into it.

Fascia release isn’t only physical. It’s a doorway to healing emotional patterns held in place for years.

Have you ever experienced an emotional release during a body session?

We often meet clients who come in with chronic tension, unexplained pain, or a feeling of being “stuck” in their bodies. What we uncover together goes deeper than muscle strain or posture - 𝑖𝑡’𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑒𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦.

🔹 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬
These are patterns formed in early caregiving relationships; where safety, consistency, or emotional presence were missing. They influence how we connect with others, how we breathe, and how we carry ourselves through the world.

🔹 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫
Fascia is living tissue - responsive, intelligent, and deeply intertwined with our nervous system. When the body experiences emotional overwhelm or long-term stress, this tension often becomes embedded in the fascia.

We see it often:
💥 Tightness in the chest from guarding the heart
😶 Constriction in the neck and jaw from holding back expression
⚡ Gripping in the pelvis linked to early boundary ruptures

Over time, these fascial restrictions shape movement, posture, breath - and even how safe someone feels inside their own skin.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞.
Through trauma-informed bodywork, breath, and mindful presence, we support the body in unwinding these old patterns - gently and with respect.

Because healing is not just about loosening muscles. It’s about creating the space to feel safe again. To reconnect. To remember who we are beneath the tension.

You’ve stretched. You’ve massaged. You’ve foam rolled.
But your hips are still tight?

Maybe it’s not just physical.
Maybe it’s grief.

The pelvis is more than a structure - it’s a deep emotional container.
We tend to hold unresolved feelings here: grief, abandonment, heartbreak, even ancestral sorrow.

Tight hips might not always mean poor posture or too much sitting.
Sometimes, they’re a silent scream.
A body’s way of saying:
"There’s something here I haven’t let go of yet."

In Myofascial Energetic Release, we work with touch, breath, and awareness to help the body speak - and finally release what words can’t reach.

It’s not just about loosening tissue.
It’s about creating space for you to feel, process, and soften again - without force.

🌀 A client once said, “I came for back pain… but I left having cried a grief I didn’t know I still carried.”

That’s the power of conscious bodywork.

We often speak about fascia and myofascial release…
But let’s be honest - not everyone really knows what that means. 🤔

🌀 So here’s the essence:
You’ve got muscle (that’s the “myo”) - and then there’s fascia, the incredible web of connective tissue that wraps, protects, and supports everything inside you.

Muscles, nerves, organs, bones - it’s all connected through fascia.

But fascia can get tight, dry, and stuck.
Not just from physical injuries or lack of movement, but also from emotional stress, trauma, and tension stored over time.

That’s where Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) comes in.
Through touch, breath, and movement, we help your fascia stay mobile, elastic, and hydrated -so you can feel more alive and at home in your body.

30/06/2025

It’s in the tiny steps that real change begins.

You can feel more grounded, a quiet spark of confidence returning.

Not all progress is loud - sometimes it’s a gentle shift, barely visible on the outside but deeply felt within.

We often say things like “carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders” or “feeling heavy-hearted.” These aren’t just poetic expressions - they reflect real patterns of emotional tension held in the body.

Anger tends to settle in the shoulders, neck and jaw - areas where we brace ourselves against confrontation or suppress the urge to act. The fascia tightens, muscles contract, and energy gets stuck.

Sadness and grief often reside in the chest. Shallow breathing, a collapsed posture, and tension in the diaphragm are common signs that this area is holding unexpressed emotion.

Over time, these stored emotions can limit our range of movement, our breath, and even our sense of vitality.

Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) works directly with these holding patterns. Through deep, mindful bodywork and guided breath, MER:

🔹 Softens the fascial restrictions where emotions are stored
🔹 Brings awareness to unconscious physical armor
🔹 Supports safe release of suppressed emotions, without pushing or bypassing
🔹 Helps restore natural flow, posture, and energy

The body remembers what the mind forgets. MER invites you back into dialogue with your body - so healing can happen from the inside out.
