Gentling Way Moves

We hold space . .and often being there is what is needed.

This is a guide only an not all there is – a starter to what is a lifelong process towards excellence.

Some are more than under one category

1 – Checkers – may be perineal pull-ups, head side to side, O.S.L. attachment tension. (These can also include various acupuncture points. Often these show the person how much changes – they say – ‘you are not poking as hard’ – when often you are in many cms deeper – difference being that the tension is all gone).

2 – Soothers – To encourage attention to that area, to give lymph a chance to drain away. May also give both of you a chance to collect yourself – esp when stretching – YOUR body needs to take a break sometimes also.

3 – Clearers – give the body exit time and pathways.

4 – Fixers – Time to move!!! Corrections may take ages to set up as the body has a good reason to stay where it is.

Checking – A baseline is needed

We need to have a measure to gauge what we are doing – and the changes made.

Perineal pull-up is crucial
Flexibility – toe touching? Swiveling around?
Head turning (remember to start with P.V. as we all have more than enough stored shock)
Tongue – even if you yourself do not understand – take pics, have a mirror there – and to start being more conscious
Sore points – outside the scope of the Selfing weekend
Temps – esp if you have a non contact gun. Check all over body to show them that what we do is real – it shifts/warms up.
Whatever else – range of movement, touching toes to gauge flexibility. .

Ingredients/nutrients and circulation/flows

All living creatures must repair themselves. The process of homeostasis must be working.
Ingredients needed to live and circulation to get these and wastes out may need tweaking.

Ingredients – a mix of choice, digestion, assimilation and waste processing

Metabolism – circulation into flows and oomph TO be able to fuel the flowing

Circulation – related to all

Tools

1 – Real moxa rolls/sticks/poles. They are easily sourced online if a local Chinese supermarket does not stock them. They are super cheap and must NOT be ‘smokeless’ as these charcoal sticks are ‘fake’. They do not have the properties that make moxa so invaluable.

2 – A massage oil/cream to slide and sometimes more gouge – I use coconut oil to slide and a beeswax composite to usually use in the more gouging/deeper adventures.

DECLUTTER, RESET, RESTORE.

First session – practical – sacral moxa fan, sacral wake-ups and Stuck Liver Qi moves.

When doing this work – you need to be vigilant as the body may tense up as letting go comes near. There is information lodged in your tissues and behind that often distress – we have held on not knowing what to do – now is the time to release. With grace. We become mindful as we work on ourselves.

Breathe . . take a deep one – gently let it go.

Gentling Way Self Discovery/Gentling Trauma Relief
Living Ligaments I (aligning the womb)
Living Ligaments II (going deeper – how to combine the moves for best advantage of flows)

The tenets if Heather’s Gentling Way. . .

1 – Structure Determines Function – when in alignment as designed can happen
2 – Energy Follows Thought – Qi goes as directed
3 – Body remembers everything that ever happened to it – We have no idea what may be released
4 – Flows have to flow – 5 flows – Qi, Blood (red – arterial, blue – venous and clear- lymph) Nerves
5 – Bodies heal themselves (when what is blocking healing is undone)

Stuck Liver Qi Release

What it is – A way to release upper to lower body tension, and all that holds the breath, the fluids, the body structure STUCK. More on Stuck Liver Qi here (CLICK). The massage and how/why here.
Origin – Rolfing maybe. (I was under the care of a rolfer (10 consecutive sessions in my early 20’s). Instead of massage, I designed this as a way to clam and generally make it easier for myself to work out what to do with whoever walked into the clinic. By taking away the top layers of distress, relating through touch, The way would be clear – and as well – the primal need for connection were assuaged.
Why it is – The Liver energy when not flowing holds the entire being hostage. When we feel upset, or we feel anything and do not express it – we block flows of Qi and everything n the body becomes constrained – can’t work as flows the=at should be are blocked. However lightly, this compounds quickly.
How to do it –
Starting gently – with warm hands, with the person w=aware that this si deeply relaxing – BUT may initially be tricky if they have bound themselves up in a big knot. Much like a tangle of wool – gently and patiently does it.
What it may feel like – under your hands/fingers – Totally depends on how tightly they are wound up
When to use – On everyone. Usually at the beginning s this frees all else. Allows you to work instantly deeper with less hassle. You can return to this at various times in the session as it is a great undoer.
When not to use – If the person can’t stand touch. Even then – to unlock is it free the body and what is holding it all in a stuck pattern.

What to do to set it up to win – Get them comfy. You start slowly and gently – as they unwind you can go deeper. NEVER speedy. The slower and more meditatively – you can get into a rocking , very slow dance with your whole body. Always move away from your body – you MUST go to the opposite side – not work towards you, This is a totally different and weird way when you have completed the ‘away’ move.

Sacral Moxa Fan

Please watch first if you have not been introduced to moxa first.

General instructions for beginners – taken from my 2005 book – What Dads Can Do

What it is – A quick, easy and effective way to get all the body happier – warmer, and flowing.
Origin – Life in clinic – I worked out how to give people homework – to lessen all I had to do
Why it is – Moxa is magic. It is vibrational ‘medicine’ – not only heat- very penetrating. Apparently the infra red ‘wattage’ of the sun is replicated.
How to do it – Hold the stick ALWAYS away from the skin – is to NEVER touch it. Use your other finger as a ‘spacer’ so there is always a gap between the moxa stick and their body. Please follow the explicit video instructions.
What it may feel like – for them They should feel instantly relaxed/calmed. Often they report a running warm water sensation down their legs – or a warmness spreading – often into their belly. Great release.
When to use –
At the beginning of whatever you are doing – or the SLQR. Sets them up to receive and makes sure nothing hurts as it otherwise may have – takes off the first layers of STUCK easily.
When not to use – If they are suffering from great anger/somewhat affected by anything to upset their Shen, if there is a skin lesion – rashes in the area – or if they are not feelings safe when you do this – or if allergic to moxa smoke.

What to do to set it up to win – Get set up so all is easy – warm drinking water and ensure no draughts.

Must not be hungry. Take a protein/salty/fatty snack – not sweet. Moxa is inclined to ‘space’ you out at the best of times.

Lymphatic drainage

Upper

What it is – A way to easily move what can clog up the system
Origin – ?? I learned in the acupuncture class in 1977 – from the lecturer who was also a chiropractor.
Why it is – Damp – from an acupuncture model – what is obstructing flows – wastes – not moved on – create havoc.
How to do it –Using the pads of your fingers – not the tips, warm hands, gently move down and towards the sides of the body – under the ribs, starting in the mid line – and from the pubic bone OUT to the sides – also across the chest to the intervertebral spaces – always shallow to begin with and gradually getting deeper slower the better.
Always start gently, slowly and watching the persons’s face, taking cues from whether it is too distressing or relaxing.
What it may feel like – under your hands/fingers –Sometimes toothpaste. Occasionally somewhat thick – and even lumpy. Gently does it
When to use – On everyone – at the beginning (very gently as a checking move and as you go onto more clearing – often ending with this.
When not to use – Always needed. If someone is concerned as they have been told/learned that lymphatic massage is inappropriate – go back to basics – flows MUST flow. By allowing blockage, you are fostering dis ease and the rubbish MUST move through.

What to do to set it up to win – Always offer water (tepid ideally) to sip as you go. Ensure that they are comfy (soft belly, by elevating the knees – pillows used whether lying on their back, or on their fronts whilst you work on them.

Open chest moves across the top of the ribs start at 1.30 minutes in.

I remind you that this has been lifted from my 2005 work – Massage What Dads Can Do.
(See the 1 1/4 hour presentation at the beginning of this page.
All of this work is appropriate for all at any age or stage of life/disease.

We are encouraging flows to return to normal – homeostasis.

Lower body

Sacral Wakeups

Actual moves start at 1.32 minutes in. (do watch as the text is helpful)

What it is – a way to get all the flows in the body moving quickly.
Origin – My decades of working with women who were usually sedentary, upset (carrying vast amounts of angst, often from their very tender ages/beginnings of being female in this place).
Why it is – bodies remember all that has happened to them. They (especially when female/trained to be ‘nice’) hold it all ‘in’ /’for later’ – creating massive life dramas to be redefined as ‘medical’ conditions all because their Liver Qi and flows were NOT flowing. .
How to do it – Start with warm hands firm yet gentle and gradually go in deeper. ALWAYS slow.
What it may feel like – under your hands/fingers – Totally variable – our intention is always to open/loosen and liberate the body and its flows. Freedom.
When to use – We do not start here – as it is too invasive. Clearing work needs to have been done first. (See below).
When not to use – Depending in the depth you are working at – even if someone is in great pain (especially when) you can use – after the setting up has been done well.

What to do to set it up to win – Start with the SLQR and if possible the sacral moxa fan.

Alternative position . .

We are human beings
We are primal

We crave touch.

When doing this work – it is an act of love – tender and caring.

Sitting in this way – she is facing forwards, allowing the opening of the pelvis and if/when pregnant – bub can easily find a more conducive position. The ligaments are relaxing, and the pelvis is naturally open forwards facing.
