“Why are mysymptoms feelingworse?”

What you areexperienc-ing is the

healing crisis—sometimes youfeel worsebefore youfeel better.Why does

this happen? This occurs as you begin to releaseinto the deeper layers of restrictions. Not onlycan the symptoms intensify, but also other sensations or emotions may come to the surface. Usually this process lasts around 48 hours, but can go on longer. This is yourbody’s way of bringing your awareness intowhat you are actually dealing with everyday,but you “tune out” and don’t feel. At times, itcan feel like you are taking two steps forwardand one step backwards.

“What should I do if I have a flare up,or go into a healing crisis?”

It can be very scary when your body goes into a healingcrisis. Always remember that Myofascial Release is never injurious. Use the self-treatment techniques that your thera-pist taught you. A regular self-treatment program combinedwith your therapy sessions will help progress your healingprocess much faster. What also helps is spending some quiettime bringing awareness into your body. Try to sink deeperinto whatever feelings come up. Let yourself feel your symp-toms fully and get in touch with what lies underneath. Giveyour body permission to let go of anything that is no longer

“I don’t want tohave to feel

or remember that again!”

Thefact is, on

the sub-consciouslevel, youare expe-riencingthis allday andall nightlong, like

a brokenrecord. To

your sub-conscious, the

trauma continuesto happen persist-

ently. The truck isabout to hit you, the surgical

knife is cutting you, or you are still experiencingthe trauma. In the safety of the therapeutic environment it is better to feel intense therapeuticpain or fear, etc for a short period of time than to spend the rest of your life “coping” with it.“Coping” is a losing battle, because your subcon-scious is controlling you by constantly bracingagainst the unresolved trauma which then

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid(i.e., you must get it from food)

required for the production of serotonin(the neurotransmitter involved in relax-ation and sleep). Tryptophan helps to control depression and insomnia, alleviates stress, eases pain, and combats inflammation. It is the rarest of all aminoacids and yet, we all need extra Tryp-tophan sometimes! Moringa is an excel-lent plant source. [Its concentration inthe leaves is almost twice that of soy.]

— Monica Marcu, Ph.D., author,

“Moringa:The Miracle Tree”

Serotonin’s function in the brain canbe elevated in the way nature intend-

ed, by providing more of its precursor inour diet. Tryptophan occurs naturally in foods, and in its highest levels in theleaves of the Moringa oleifera. With allof this tree’s many blessings, this is one of its most important contributions forall of us who deal with stress. Increasingyour Serotonin through diet is a far superior way of balancing mood andsleep, without the side effects and hazards of drugs. —Jon Zwayer, CMT

“I’ve already dealt with that issue; I don’t want to beretraumatized.”

Myofascial Release neverinjures or re-traumatizes!Myofascial Release allows forthe discovery of unresolvedphysical/emotional trauma.The mind/body then processesthis information through theconscious mind completingwhat was fragmented experi-ence, allowing for resolution.Myofascial Release allows forhealing on its deepest level.

“Why are my therapiststreating my wholebody rather than myspecific area of pain?”

Traditional doctors andtherapist were taught to try to“fix” symptoms, instead oflooking for the root cause ofthe problem. Also, they usuallyoverlook the effect that a consciousness has on the healing process. The MFR philosophy is to look at theentire being, not to just focuson where the symptoms are. In this way, the therapist canfocus on finding the root of the problem and facilitate truehealing in their patient. �
