What is Tensegrity/Myofascia Balancing

The term ‘Tensegrity’ is a combination of two words – tension and integrity – two valuable concepts in the body, and in all life on this planet.

Tensegrity, when applied to the body, is a method of correcting areas: stressed from daily living; or physical challenges experienced from some kind of trauma that has altered aspects of the connective tissue.  When you experience an impact injury, the body creates a tsunami wave (soliton) inside the body (we are 70%+ water).  This wave travels from the point of impact through the body in a radiating pathway, and in so doing, alters the molecular structure of the water of the organs & bones (which are liquid holders) that it meets on the way.  Because water is dense, and therefore cannot contract in on itself, the impact wave will cause the organ &/or bone to expand.  The organ or bone altered by a heavy impact will rarely change back to normal on its own because it contains the frequency (EMF) and memory of this impact.  However, the connective tissue and cytoskeleton contain the memory of the normal shape.  By removing the memory of the trauma and/or balancing the EMF of the body, it will shift and change back to its normal tension and integrity.  This is accomplished through BodyTalk or soft Myofascia Release.

Tensegrity/Myofascia Release uses both hands in contact with the living matrix (connective tissue) that holds the body together and the energy from the hands creates the Tensegrity Balance via the “piezo-electric” effect travelling between the hands.  You actually feel movement and energy surges while it is being done.

While holding the site, there is a continued softening and releasing of tension in the Myofascia/Connective Tissue and movement in the body which generates a variety of oscillating bioelectric signals or micro currents as the area is adjusted back to normal.  By gentle stretching movements, the energy between the hands can alter the blocked energy in the site and free up pain.  In combination with BodyTalk or alone, “Tensegrity/Myofascia Balancing” is a powerful natural healing method.  Most people comment on how it is very relaxing and soothing.  This can be done fully clothed.

Scientists have begun to realize the importance of the connective tissue and its relationship to the whole functioning of the body system.  It is a liquid crystalline material.  It contains both the physical and the subtle communication systems: blood, nerve, lymph, protons, electrons, solitons and the electromagnetic frequencies of the body; the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, digestive tract, and more – ensheathed in and partitioned by connective tissue (James Oschman).  It reaches every single cell in the body and carries and stores our consciousness within the cells (Candace Pert, Bruce Lipton).  Therefore it stores our emotions and belief systems.  This creates blocked energy in the body, leading to stress, tension, tightness and pain – that Tensegrity/Myofascia Release and/or BodyTalk will address.

Effective Trigger Point Release

I noticed that a majority of my clients were people who had tried everything they knew to release pain and restricted movement, and were not getting the results they sought.  They had seen Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Registered Massage Therapists, who used trigger point release, deep tissue  massage, TENS units, ultrasound, drugs, osteopathy, myfascial release, cranial sacral therapy, and so forth.  The medical profession had used X-rays, MRI’s, Catscans, etc., and couldn’t see anything specifically wrong with the site of the problem(s) except maybe some calcium build-up and/or inflammation.  Or, they were told they were not bad enough yet for surgery.  In the meantime, they were hobbling around, unable to do their job, find a comfortable position to sleep, or able to turn their head, lift their arm, walk without pain, and so on.

One of the frustrations I encountered when working with people experiencing this muscle and soft tissue pain, was finding a way to release this pain without having them come back for repeat work on the same site.  There is always more than one site involved in long term restricted movement, and it is difficult to release all of them in one visit, but my goal was to release the muscle and fascia of one or more sites during each visit.

The method I found the most effective was Trigger Point Therapy.  However, I found the standard methods for Trigger Point Release were slow in bringing about change.  With much experimenting, I have found two methods to be very effective at releasing trigger points, and the muscles stay released in the majority of my clients.  I am very excited at the results that I continually see, as are my clients.

When a client finds that discomfort returns to the same site, it usually means I have not found the primary muscle that started the cascade of muscle aches and pains.  The first site will quickly re-release when treated and with further exploring, the client and I track down the other muscles involved and release them as well.  Often I will find it is not the same muscle re-activating, but a muscle in the same area, or referring to the area that is causing the problem.  On occasion, the muscle will return to its discomfort because the client is doing repetitive work that sets if off again.  This also is an indication that there are more muscles involved that have restricted movement and are causing that set of muscles to tighten up again.  We also address postural issues that may have become ‘bad habits’ because of the restricted movement.  It is like detective work that the client and I are doing together to find the solutions to their good health and flexibility.  I need their guidance to find the exact area of discomfort, and to know how the release is progressing during the treatment.

It is fascinating to watch the skin surface change as the muscle is released.  The area feels more toned and firm, and the pebbled look (cellulite?) disappears.  The calcium deposits break up and disperse from the muscle, swelling and inflammation (usually at the origin or insertion points of the muscle) is reduced, and often, when finished releasing, the client cannot tell where I have been working – it feels like normal tissue, and is not longer sensitive to the touch.  Both massage techniques I use are able to penetrate deep into the muscles fibres and relax and release the knots and deposits trapped in the muscle and tissue.  The only side affects they are likely to experience is some tenderness or ache in the area as it is releasing, and in some areas it is difficult not to cause some bruising.  My clients are willing to accept this because of the positive results.  For some it may take a day or two for these symptoms to disappear.  For others, for example ones with Fibromyalgia, it may take a week for the symptoms to subside completely.

The methods used are harmonic to the body, so are easily translated into healing results.  Myofascia Release can also be incorporated into the methods I use for Trigger Point Release, as some of the sites are re-occurring because of trauma from accidents and falls affecting organs or the skeletal system and surrounding tissue.

Hot Stone Massage

Smooth the tension away, with the relaxing smell and healing properties of therapeutic grade essential oils, warm hands and hot stones worn smooth over time by a flowing river current. Feel the weight and warmth of the Earth’s rocks placed on and around you and smoothed over you, as part of your massage, and feel your muscle tension melt away.  Once you’ve tried it, you’ll wonder how you lived without it

BodyTalk System ™ and BodyTalk “Access” Courses

It seems my whole life has been leading up to BodyTalk and teaching the Access Course.  I have both personal and professional experience in a number of the modalities covered under the BodyTalk umbrella.  This allows the system to be an extension of my past studies and experiences, and has expanded my consciousness into a much greater field of awareness.  Having recovered from Chronic Fatigue syndrome through the use of Energy Medicine, I am living, breathing proof that this approach to wellness is powerful.  I have a healthy respect for it, and BodyTalk, and a high level of confidence that it will make positive differences in anyone’s life, from the subtle to the incredible.  The length of time this takes varies, depending upon the complexities of your individual, unique life story.  You will want to experience a BodyTalk Session so you can understand how this is all about you – not what the Practitioner thinks you need - but what your body says it wants - through an amazing exploring system and biofeedback.  This system can take us to anywhere in the bodymind (using a medical model), find out where the switches are blown, and reset them.  This addresses all levels of stressors and health challenges – acute, long term or chronic.

Now, for you, instead of taking years to learn the BodyTalk System, the BodyTalk 'Access' Course, (the outreach program of the BodyTalk System) is available and invaluable to learn, for you, in keeping the bodymind balanced on a day to day basis, lessening your need for requiring medical services for common household health challenges.  Imagine having the ability to help yourself when you are stressed, overwhelmed, out of balance or otherwise feeling unwell?  You have the power with Access to ‘catch it’ before it becomes a bigger challenge.  It also gives you tools to help family members, friends, and animals in emergency situations, or their day to day challenges.

Here are a few things that the BodyTalk ‘Access’ techniques have helped me with:  relief of pain in joints; clearing the effects of a wasp sting within minutes of receiving it; releasing a suspected sprain in my ankle shortly after it arrived; avoided getting colds or flu from clients and got rid of a virus; freed up toxins that were slow in leaving my body; got relief from a suspected food poisoning; have better mobility; clarity of thought; less stressed and anxious – all from using the BodyTalk ‘Access’ techniques on a regular basis – and/or whenever a symptom of imbalance appeared.  You and I are a ‘continual work in progress’!  Health is a state of constantly seeking balance within the bodymind.  Health is not something you arrive at – it is something that requires attention on a daily basis.  Access gives you the tools to help maintain balance more easily, and simply – and in most cases can eliminate the need for lengthily waits in a Clinic. 

As a Certified BodyTalk ‘Access’ Trainer,  I would love to have the opportunity to come and teach you this amazing system, and show you how to do the balancing methods in the one-day (or 2 evenings) 6 hour Access course, that is fun to do, extremely effective and virtually anyone can learn.

Contact me, or check out the BodyTalk System website  if you would like to have the BodyTalk ‘Access’ Course taught in your area. I or one of my colleagues will happily give a talk to your group about “What Is BodyTalk and Access” and during the talk we will teach you one of the 5 techniques called ‘Cortices’ that you can share with others.  I know you will be as excited as I, and probably even more, when you learn the Access techniques.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Body Talk System - Distance Sessions

Doing BodyTalk at a distance is as effective, if not more so, than doing it in person.  I personally have been having sessions with other Practitioners as far away as Alberta, and often will feel the changes occurring in my body as the session progresses.  If you are unable to come to Muskoka for a session, and would like to experience this amazing system, than it can be done over the phone.  Your body determines how much it is willing to access and process, so the time involved in a session varies.  Usually your first few sessions are going to be less than ½ hour because the links tend to be quite simple at first.

BodyTalk is amazing for children of all ages, and helps to put them back into balance from trauma they may have experienced – much more quickly than adults!  I highly recommend this system, and feel it is a privilege to be trained and part of this matrix of healing.

BodyTalk for Animals

“Each individual animal comes with specific genetic characteristics, anatomical, physiological and emotional make-up, a distinct set of life experiences and a unique role within the family matrix.  All of these factors will influence the overall health and balance of the animal.”

The bodies of animals are like those of humans in that they have the ability to heal themselves, guided by innate wisdom.  In the wild, animals generally do not have the hindrance of belief systems and emotions to delay healing.  In fact, it is the instinctual nature and innate wisdom of healing that perpetuates the species.

Domesticated animals differ in many ways compared to animals of the wild.  Animals that have been in interaction with humans can become sensitive to their owner’s belief systems and emotions.  This can slow the healing process of the animal.  They also can take on the problems or issues of the owner and manifest illnesses as a result.  When there is an imbalance between their natural instincts and those imposed by living with humans, the bodymind of an animal is compromised, symptoms can manifest as behavioral issues, emotional disorders, physical challenges or all three.

Through AnimalTalk, using the BodyTalk System, we can help to restore balance on all levels, allowing the animal’s innate wisdom to guide the session.  Biofeedback is used, through the owner or family member, or surrogate, to ascertain what needs to be addressed and balanced.

AnimalTalk sessions are best done in the animal’s current home environment, and can also be done as Distance Sessions.  A BodyTalk Animal ‘Access’ Course is available.  Instructors for this course can be found on the BodyTalk System website.

Vanishing Twin Survivour

Although only about one out of eighty or ninety live births produces twins, at least one-eighth of all natural pregnancies begin as twins and this has been confirmed nowadays with ultrasounds.

Do you feel like you have gone through life – like you are surviving an experience – but you don’t know what that is? Do you find you get hung up on things being perfect? Do you feel a hole deep inside where no one can reach – even yourself, and it makes you want to weep when you are aware of it – usually around not feeling loved enough? Do you sabotage relationships? Are you sensitive, feel vulnerable and tend to be an introvert – liking or needing to spend time by yourself? Conversely, do you hate being alone? Do you have a low opinion of yourself, or have a lack of self-love or feel deep grief – about something or someone – but you don’t know why or who? Do you feel that you must go it alone, and do it all yourself?

If you relate to any of this you could be a ‘survivor’ Twin and contacting a Vanishing Twin Specialist could well be the best gift you give to yourself! If you want to find ways to help shift how you see and experience life, then BodyTalk may be just what you are looking for. It has made huge changes and brought wonderful awareness to my life.

Allergy/Intolerance Testing and Balancing Using The BodyTalk System and Glass Vials

No longer do clients have to avoid a host of things they were ‘allergic’ to - adding to their stress levels – as a way to correct the problem. We desensitize the body without elimination diets or reactions. Your body can learn to integrate these substances rather than having to fight against them.

Allergies are immediate reactions to one or more substances and can be caused by a complex mixture of chemical imbalances, emotional holdings, belief systems, environmental disturbances and genetic weaknesses. Intolerances, often food related, are slower, more insidious reactions to one or more substances, making it more difficult for a person to realize they are harmful to the body. These can lead to arthritic joints, digestive disorders, autoimmune disorders, headaches, skin disorders and chronic fatigue.

Now using ‘BodyTalk’ Body Chemistry Specifics I focus on the frequencies of imbalances using glass vials of information about that substance - to balance the allergies and intolerances that are often hidden in the much deeper levels of the subconscious programming. This also addresses the Fundamental Substances of the body – Protein, B Complex, Calcium, Vitamin C, Minerals, Fats, Sugars, etc. which the body needs to be balanced with to function properly.

Unlike some other allergy treatment programs, BodyTalk involves a short series of sessions (usually about 6 to 8) and a follow-up a few months later is often recommended. Afterwards you can live allergy-free. Your body becomes desensitized to the substance while restoring your immune response and overall health.
