One of the most important moves – AFTER you have warmed the entire sacral and lower belly – and the SLQR has been done.
Ideally moxa sacral fan and steaming before this and a castor oil pack after.
We are at the hormonal engine house here – nothing much is done on this with all the people who makes squillions ‘helping; women with their endo/ hormones and anything ‘menopausal’ – if these are removes – even more important as the area wounded has adhesion – and the spirit of the woman’s ovaries is needing nurturing . . we may gently do this as a checker at the beginning – the actual move – not till towards the end of a session.
Ovarian Whirlpool – CHECKER/eventually a correcter [FIXER].
- What it is A deepened attack at 90 degrees to sort out all that is blocking circulation in and out of the ovaries.
- For men this can be an immensely revitalising experience as often the left side (where the testicle started) is all congested – try not to mess with ‘tubes’ if you find any.
- Origin? – Dr Jennifer Mercier
- Why it is – so little exercise and actual deep work happens in this regions – and so many are sedentary and not allowing lymph to flow naturally – seat belt injuries, tight clothes, seated most of the day
- What to expect (what are you liberating)?
- How to do it – Acc to Dr Mercier – Once you feel that you’ve sufficiently warmed the tissue than you’ll need to find the ovaries. Once the ovaries are palpable massage each of them separately in a clockwise motion 10 times each side.
Work deeply. The goal of the work here is to ” re-awaken” the blood flow to each ovary. Also, when
you’re working the ovary itself you’re influencing the suspensory and utero-ovarian ligaments to loosen
their tensions. Use circular sweeping motion to influence the relaxation of your client and also to help
remove excess lymph that may have collected. - What it may feel like – under your hands/fingers.
- When to use. As with all here – in sequence – initially to assess – gently – how much ‘give; you have then go in a lot deeper . .and get stuck in – only after the other tools- steaming/noxa sacral fan/lots of back and belly/lymph have been achieved.
- When not to use – If painful = or you are in doubt
What to do to set it up to win: – use as check in. As you go through the layers, in time – they will feel how much you are moving.
Always do a ’round and round’ after and a settle.
