Welcome . .
Always – set up to win . .
Preparations . .
The sacral smash is one of the Mercier training moves I encountered in Oct 2016 From there I have enriched this is a component of the Gentling Way.
Not to be started without a lot of prework – especially sacral moxa fan and the Stuck Liver Qi Release – plus all GB undoing. .
And the belly work. Do scar /adhesion checking – if C section/lower belly – then after this – recheck . .
Do your research – this is embodied learning. When you feel it /know it – is no longer ‘Heather said’ but is real – to you under your own fingers.
Sacral smash – FIXER
- What it is – Pressing hard down on the sacrum 3 minutes
- Origin? – Dr Jennifer Mercier – her instructions Place one hand over another on the sacrum and give firm pressure. This maneuver will help shorten the utero-sacral and sacro-spinous ligaments releasing any tension in the lower back. Hold for about 3 minutes. Make certain that the table is low enough for you to get the leverage that is needed for this manipulation. Very important to stay totally stationary whilst this happens.
- Why it is – Seems to fix everything – if you set it up first. See above.
- What to expect (what are you liberating)? 45 – 60 seconds in – ask how their mid/upper back is – usually it lets go.
- How to do it – See above.
- What it may feel like – under your hands/fingers. Be careful on yourself as this a long time to hold down with all your weight – must get your fingers happy first – and be comfy. Pay attention to what you can feel – sometimes you may hear a crack – you are not breaking them.
- When to use – After a lot of glut and sacral work – preferably a steam or /and moxa sacral fan work first.
- When not to use – 1 – If it doesn’t feel right for whatever reason – you are there – you make all these calls (judiciously) 2 – When pregnant – unless at the very end of pregnancy (major part of the opening baby gate. 3 – If the sacrum is somehow broken recently is too sore 4 -If the pressure causes any other problem/increases other issues.
- What to do to set it up to win – Loosen off all the Gall Bladder canal areas – more glut slides. sacral work before you do this and maybe – depending on the person – you may have done the leg for walk first – depends. . Make sure they are comfy – be aware of men’s genital s being smashed also into the couch/table.
I have no idea where Dr Mercier got any of this from.
Some moves look ex Bowen . .
Initially I felt this move was outrageous.
How so we do this when the O.S.L? is not corrected first?
(Little did I know) . . . .
On returning from the Oct 2016 training I trialed the new moves on all had put through my Arvigo extra intensives.
All – that is all – were transformed.
They all came out of the rooms looking (and I felt that their energy was so different) vastly different. They were more regal/peaceful.
No one had words . .they all (that really is all) used their hands to describe what had happened and all said the same thing –
“I feel longer”.
“Not taller”.
“More space inside me”.
As always , I started experimenting – answering the question.
‘Will this work better if I .. ?”
Now I invariably do this before O.S.L.
Usually the O.S.L. is last of the back work.
We have to clear all that is holding it hostage – so it can bounce back to perfect and stay there.
Sacral smash
This is a steady gentle pressure (you getting comfy).
THEN you exert as much of your pressure as you can –
being acutely aware of them.
This is 3 minutes in one place unmoving for you to likely
become all/almost all your weight.
Use gravity.
Bend over your hands – to get the right pressure.
This is the key.
Everything will shift if you stand unmoving – the body will.
Always ask, after about a minute – (sometimes 45 seconds) –
How their mid/upper back is.
If they have not commented about how changes have happened
Usually the mid back realigns there first and often they feel movement in their neck. (All is attached).
Adhesions
We had undone a significant Qi and life obstruction.
This seems to be what this is doing.
All the Mercier moves are towards this.
Ovarian whirlpool, uterine rake and the ‘taking leg for a walk’ especially.
You must set it up to win .
Maybe they have been steamed first.
Moxa sacral fan, – all other ways you can move on all that has bound them up as we do not need to have constant repeat visits.
Why??
YOU want to have a name for yourself as the fixer when nothing else could.
The need previously to see body workers is over when we undo why the womb is (as the centre of the body) so out of plumb.
Attempting to fix the side effects of this and not the main event is making all richer.
Let us stop that game! And really repair Qi and all other flows.
Structure determines function.
