When every muscle refuses to let go...
I saw a client today who came in with an unusual pain around his eyes, jaw, and neck — something he’s been aware of since his early twenties. Nothing had ever really helped, except cranio-sacral therapy which gave some relief.
When I begin working with someone, I always start by listening to the body. His body guided me straight to the left eye. Before going further, I checked if he was “testable.” Many of you know I use muscle testing to understand what’s happening. For me to use muscles effectively, they need to be functional (able to contract and also relax when given the right signal).
In his case, every single muscle I tested was locked, stuck in contraction and unable to let go. This global muscle locking can happen for many reasons. With him, the root cause was an emotional energy he had been carrying since he was just one year old, absorbed from his mother.
Interestingly, this emotional energy showed up everywhere in his body except his neck and head. That meant the only place his body could “compensate” was in the area where he felt the most pain — his eyes, jaw, and neck.
Once we released that emotional blockage, all of his muscles began functioning again (with just a few left to work on in future sessions). I’ll be very curious to hear how his body responds over the next few days.
One thing is certain: emotional stress plays a huge role in how our body functions. And more often than we think, what feels purely physical has deep emotional roots.
(And why was I pulled to his left eye initially? That is a whole other story which has primitive reflexes and an imbalance in the kidney due to fluoride in tap water at its root...)
