[QUOTE=taai gihk yahn;1090816]yeah, you’re pretty much on base - to wit, that typically what takes the “average” PT a ridculous amount of time w their silly machines and useless exercises, can get cleaned up very quickly w good hands-on;
honestly, most neck “stuff” in the absence of direct trauma, comes as compensation for things stuck elsewhere, especially thorax / ribs; "popping’ thoracics isn’t that big of a deal, as long as you don’t force it (for me, certain constitutional “types” are better suited for manips than others - some people it’s mostly what I do, others never in a million years), same w ribs;
luv those autonomics…
not surprising - probably they get decompensated, meaning that many (most?) LMT’s / DC / PT treat the readily apparent compensation - like the spot where it hurst, and not the root restriction (that is - the stuff that’s stuck doesn’t hurt, cause it ain’t moving; the stuff that hurts is because it’s moving too much to make up for lack of mobiity elsewhere - so if you treat that, you can just totally irritate the he1l out of the organism); doing “costitutional” treatment like what you describe you do, basically letting the body fix itself w a little outside encouragement, and does a lot more good than the wrong “analytical” specific treatments people think are helping;
yeah, pretty much; I don’t know if you are familiar w Janet Travel’s work on TP’s, it’s the “standard” in the field, worth looking at as a reference if you aren’t; also, Kapandji’s anatomy books are the best, IMPO, you’l ever see, and are very relevant to hands-on work
yeah, you see that a lot - people come for PT when they really need something more “talking cure” related - again, while I allow space for that sort of thing to happen (I don’t mind if people cry - I am well enough trained as a “supportive listener” to manage that if it happens), I don’t go looking for it, unlike many other bodyworkers I know who push and push and seem to feel that unless they get an emotional release they haven’t gotten anywhere…kinda creepy when they start "accusing’ a client of resistance just because they aren’t sobbing (this is one particular group I trained w in the past, obviously no longer)
btw, if the cause of their pain is due to an extra-dimensional demonic posession, we now have a Taoist Celestial Master posting here who sells exorcisms over the Internet! :rolleyes: (he also has re-translated the Tao Te Ching, having come to the conclusion that up until him, everyone else has gotten it all wrong…)[/QUOTE]
Most excellent description of the dynamics involved in decompensating, thanks!
Speaking of demonic things. HERE’s a weird thing that I started observing after doing healing sessions, one out of 10 people seem to release a weird fog that actually looks like some kind of demon. They see it and I see it. They get better only after this weird energy comes out. Now I am used to it, in the beginning it was bizarre and I didn’t want to believe it, thinking that stuff was just superstition.
But, having looked into it and now made sure I was protecting myself and so on, I see that the Qi blockages seem to congeal the Qi, which seems to take on some kind of “intelligence” for lack of a better word, being that it was composed of ‘vital force’ and this “thing” acts as a parasite, sucking energy from these people.
ALWAYS when this “thing” comes out, the person was once very depressed. What I can feel from them is that their energy was vibrating at a lower frequency which not only attracts negative entities to them but can form new ones as well.
