How to remove psychological clamps. Proven super methods for freeing yourself from psychological pressures

The technique for removing internal clamps will help you forever get rid of various internal clamps, blocks and negative attitudes towards you.

To release muscle and internal tension, use the following psychotechniques.

Stand up straight, focusing your attention on your right or left hand. Push it as hard as possible. After a few seconds, you need to relieve tension and relax your hand. Do similar exercises with your other arm, both legs, lower back, and neck.

2. "Puppet"

Imagine that you are a puppet. After the performance, you were hung on a nail in the closet. You should imagine that you are suspended by various parts of the body: by a finger, neck, ear, shoulder. The body should be fixed only at this point. And everything else is relaxed and hanging out. This exercise can be performed at any pace. Both with closed and open eyes. It would be nice if someone from the outside monitored your level of relaxation.

3. “Voltage rollover”

The participant needs to strain his left arm to the limit. Next, gradually relaxing it, transfer the tension to your right hand. Then, completely relaxing the right leg, move it to the right leg, then to the left. And then on the neck, back, lower back.

4. "Spaghetti"
Want to turn into pasta? To do this, relax your arms: from the forearm to the fingertips. You need to swing your arms in different directions. And at the same time control their absolute freedom.

Next, free your hands from the elbow to the fingertips, continuing the chaotic rotation. The elbow joint must be kept closed, but the fingers and hands must be completely free. You should rotate them, feeling the springy vibration. Your fingers should be free and flow like boiled spaghetti.

5. "Fire and Ice"

In this exercise, you need to alternately tense and relax your entire body. At the command of a comrade “Fire!” you begin to make intense movements with your whole body. You choose the degree of intensity and smoothness yourself. A friend gives the command: “Ice!” And you must freeze in the position in which your friend’s team froze you. In this case, you need to strain your entire body to the limit. Your friend alternates these commands several times, changing the timing of both at his discretion.

6. “Relaxation by count”

Take your starting position - standing, feet shoulder-width apart, and point your arms up. The comrade is counting. During the counting, the participant must gradually relax all parts of the body. On the count of “one” you need to relax your hands. On “two” elbows. On the count of “three,” relax your shoulders and arms, and on “four,” relax your head. And on the count of “five” you need to completely relax your torso, which should only be supported on your feet. On the count of six, complete relaxation. You sit down “on point”. Then, when your friend claps, you get up.

In addition, the presenter can give the command to relax at different speeds. At the same time, checking the quality of relaxation of each part of the participant’s body. For example, on the count of “one, two,” they shook their hands and checked the degree of relaxation.

7. “Growing”

Squat down, bend your head towards your knees and clasp them with your hands. The presenter says: “Imagine that you are a small sprout that has just emerged from the ground. You stand up and gradually straighten, open up and rush upward. I will help you grow by counting to six. Try to distribute your growth stages evenly.”

If in the future you want to complicate this exercise, the leader can increase the duration of growth to 15-20 stages.

8. “Stretched and broke”

You need to stand up straight. The arms and the whole body rush upward, but the foot is completely adjacent to the floor. Do not lift your heels under any circumstances.

The presenter says the following: “We stretch, we stretch up. Higher and higher. Mentally lift your heels off the floor (they should not be on the floor) to become even higher. Now imagine that your hands are broken and hanging limply. After which the arms break at the elbows and shoulders. The shoulders fell, the head hung, and broke at the waist, the knees buckled. We fell to the floor, we lie relaxed, comfortable on the floor. Listen to yourself: is there any tension left somewhere? Let's relax this place."

While performing this exercise, the facilitator must draw the participant’s attention to the following components:

show the difference between performing the command “break your hands” and “lower your hands” (their relaxation is achieved in the first case)

when the participant is already lying on the floor, the leader must go around everyone, check whether the body is completely relaxed, indicating the places of muscle tension

9. “Clamps in a circle”

You walk in a circle and, on command, tense your left arm, left leg, right arm, right leg, lower back, both legs, whole body. The body tension should be weak at first and gradually increase to the limit. In a state of extreme tension, you need to walk for at least 20 seconds. Then, at the command of a comrade, the tension should be completely relieved. That is, completely relax a tense area of ​​the body.

As instructed by the facilitator, at the end of each part of the exercise, the participant listens to the sensations of his body. At the same time, he continues to calmly walk in a circle, remembering the usual tension in this part of the body (that is, his usual tension). After which, you should gradually tense your body in this place again. Having brought the clamp to the limit, reset after 17-20 seconds.

10. “Plasticine dolls”

The exercise consists of three stages. During it, the participant needs to turn into a plasticine doll. At the first clap of the leader, the participant must become a doll, which was stored for a long time in a cold place. In this regard, plasticine has lost its softness and plasticity: it is cruel and hard.

The second clap means the start of working with dolls. The presenter must change the poses of the dolls. And the participant needs to remember that the frozen form of the dolls complicates his work. He should feel that the material is resisting.

On the third clap, the last stage begins. You need to imagine that many heating devices were suddenly turned on in the room. The dolls are softening. It should be noted that this is a process, not an instant transformation. First, those parts of the body that require less plasticine should float. These are the neck, fingers, arms and then legs.

In the final part of the exercise, the dolls seem to “drain” onto the floor and turn into a shapeless plasticine mass. In turn, this is absolute muscle relaxation.

Relieving tension and pressure improves performance, increases self-confidence and improves mood. For dynamic relaxation, raise your right arm, and then clench and unclench your hand for a minute and a half. Keep your arm raised for another minute and a half, then lower it and relax it as much as possible so that it hangs like a whip. Do a similar exercise with your left hand, ensuring that maximum relaxation occurs in both hands. Without straining your upper limbs, raise your right knee to your waist 50-70 times, then assume a sitting position and relax your right leg and arms. Stand up and do the same exercise with your left leg.

Relaxation of this kind must be done by repeating aloud or silently a phrase that gives an attitude of calm. It may sound like this: “I am calm. I'm absolutely calm. Under any circumstances, in any situation, I will remain absolutely calm.” When pronouncing this formula (with your eyes closed), try to put it into images and visualize it. It is useful to perform this stress relief twice a day - morning and evening for 5-7 minutes. As a result of the exercises, anxiety and neuroses are eliminated, balance and self-confidence are gained, and internal pressures that hinder the effective development of a person are removed.

One of the famous psychologists who devoted a lot of time to researching the process of removing clamps is Vladimir Levi. Here are a few of their types, inherent in different people. Those who are focused on serious problems, for example those related to their own health, have constantly and strongly tense eyelids, the bridge of the nose and the eyebrow. Irritable, whiny and lonely people usually suffer from excessive tension in the jaws, lips and mouth. Insecure individuals (often young people) often experience a tonic stoop, and tension covers the shoulders, back of the head and neck. Restless, irritable, overly active people are prone to pinching their fingers and elbows. Those who talk a lot often have excessive tension in the abdominals, diaphragm, pharynx and larynx.

All of the above tensions are a source of bad mood, indecisiveness, and in some cases lead to stuttering. As a rule, combinations of several clamps are observed. Anyone can easily detect them, which is the first step towards relieving tension. That this must be done is beyond doubt. A person gets tired not from work as such, but mostly from internal pressures and emotional tension.

By learning to relax, we will get rid of the “muscular shell” that constrains the body, and at the same time we will deal with the “cockroaches” in the head.

Clamps in the elbows, hands, ready to clench into fists, closed jaws are signs of a person who is overly active, overly restless, and prone to conflicts.

And tension in the neck, chest and legs often occurs in people with low self-esteem.

Alas, not everyone can boast of psychological stability. In our difficult times, balanced people are a rarity. Daily stress, negative emotions, unfulfilled desires... If too much of them accumulates, they begin to form muscle tension in our body. Do you have them? Let's check...

One person asks another:

You don’t drink, don’t smoke... But how do you relax?

And I don’t bother.”

How to remove the clamps? Fun exercises

WHERE IS YOUR CLAMP HIDDEN?

Take a mental look at your body, see if your hands, forearms, shoulder blades, legs, feet are relaxed...

Don't forget about your facial muscles. Are they reduced to the bridge of the nose? Is your brow furrowed? Are your jaws clenched? If you are reading this magazine without relaxing on the beach, then you have probably found at least a couple of clips in your possession. And each of them means something.

And this is what happens: tensions in the consciousness lead to tensions in the muscles, and those, in turn, lead to tensions in the consciousness. Communication is two-way. This means that by learning to relax, we will not only get rid of the “muscular shell that fetters our entire body, but lo and behold, we will also deal with the “cockroaches” in our heads.

And a wonderful system of exercises will help us with this - tonoplasty. Its author is the legendary psychotherapist, doctor of medicine and psychology Vladimir Lvovich Levi. By the way, if you try to exercise in the company of friends, keep in mind that there will be no end to everyone’s fun.

TRANCE GORILLAS

This exercise is very powerful in its invigorating effect; it has two options: male and female.

Use the second option yourself.

The exercise involves imitating a gorilla. These primates, preparing to attack the enemy, beat themselves on the chest. In this way they raise their morale. So, men are invited to completely follow the example of the warlike primates.

KAA THINKS

This exercise promotes deep relaxation and rapid sleep. Mark two points on the wall - one below the other. Lie down against this wall at a distance of 2-3 meters. Now begin to slowly move your gaze from one point to another. Slower, even slower. You will soon notice: the eyelids become heavy and relax. Now you can sleep.

JUNGLE SMILE

The following exercise quickly eliminates anxiety and fear. To put it less poetically, “Smile of the Jungle” is simply a grin from ear to ear. Smile so that all your teeth are visible. You may look creepy, but there will be no trace of fear left. It is especially recommended before going “on the carpet” to the authorities. By the way, after the “Jungle Smile”, performed 12 times in a row, your face will automatically light up with the smile of Buddha. In other words, it will express your boundless love for all living beings without exception.

WILD DANCES

And now - disco! There is no need to learn any special steps - complete improvisation. You can dance with or without music, with or without a partner. The main thing is spontaneity. Allow your legs to make fancy knees, your arms to dangle back and forth, your body to shake. Wild dancing perfectly relieves any tension, but it is especially recommended for those who quit smoking. As soon as you feel nicotine hunger, immediately start dancing!

SMILE AND ANTI-SMILE

Actually, this is not so much an exercise as a good reason to think.

Just try lowering the corners of your mouth, squeezing your shoulders, squeezing your chest, hanging your head... After just a couple of minutes, life will seem five times more disgusting to you than it actually is, if you sit like this for 20 or 30 minutes. No, it’s better not even sample...

Now we do everything the other way around - straighten our shoulders, straighten our chests forward, smile from ear to ear. And we alternate “Smile” with “Anti-Smile”. Seven of these opposites will replace a contrast shower. You will certainly cheer up. You may even really want to laugh. And laughter, as everyone knows, is the best tonoplasty invented by Nature itself.

KISS A CHILD

This exercise not only relaxes the facial muscles, but also wonderfully smoothes out wrinkles. Imagine a baby about to kiss his mother: his mouth is folded into a tube, his lips are an oval. He seems to make a sound: oo-oo. At the same time, the head is raised up, the skin under the chin is stretched. Wrinkles, of course, will not disappear in one day, but if you practice “Kiss the Baby” every day for 2-3 minutes, excellent results will not keep you waiting.

The nature of blocks is also dual, like our human nature. To understand it more deeply, imagine the flow of energy in your body like the flow of a river, with its bends and widening bed. Constrictions, congestions, broken dams on it will correspond to injuries, illnesses, conflicts that impede the flow of healthy energy that need to be cleared - and this is one side of the blocks.
On the other hand, a river has its own banks, gentle slopes, and sometimes harsh rocks that force it to flow in a certain direction. Here the blocks act as massive barriers that direct the flow of energy, restrain it, and prevent it from overflowing its banks. Clearly they have power! This is another property of blocks - we need these restrictions until a certain time, because they guide our movement through life.

from a psychological point of view, a block is a stable tension in the body, behind which there is an actual human problem;

from the point of view of functional anatomy, a block is a state of tissue characterized by its shortening, increased density and rigidity;

from a chiropractic point of view, a block is a partial or complete restriction of mobility in a motion segment or joint;

from a bioenergetics point of view, a block is the encapsulation of a certain part of energy in a certain part of the body.

Technically, the formation of blocks in the body occurs as follows: every action or thought (causal or mental levels) in a state of stress is accompanied by an emotional reaction, behind which there is an etheric sensation. The latter represents multiple microscopic muscle strains. Finding himself in situations that are typical for his picture of the world, a person receives a typical set of similar muscle tensions. In each such typical situation, a kind of muscle training occurs - so that gradually these tensions become habitual and form chronic muscle spasms.
Thus, each body block contains the memory of all the corresponding splits in the buddhic plane, errors in professional and personal activities (causal plane), inaccurate and erroneous thoughts and intellectual dead ends (mental plane) and emotional conflicts (astral plane).

There are countless different types of blocks, and each person has their own, unique one. The most surprising thing is that often we are not even aware of them. Even with the strongest blocks, which manifest themselves in constant muscle tension, people remain completely unaware of their existence. Why? Because many are simply accustomed to this state of affairs. The only thing that lets you know about the presence of a block is discomfort or illness.

2. What types of blocks are there?

Like our psyche, bodily blocks have their own history and depth. Three levels can be distinguished. Blocks can be at the level of our consciousness, making it narrow and clumsy. At the level of the unconscious, they act as dams or congestions from old traumas, preventing one from being open and spontaneous. At a deeper level, they can become harsh attitudes of previous generations, distorted values, genetic limitations that do not allow us to fully use our original potential. Often, patients describe blocks as masks, tourniquets or ropes that entangle the body. They can either tie our hands, preventing us from expressing true feelings, or they can fetter our hips, preventing us from being spontaneous and sexual. Over the course of our lives, we collect a whole “collection” of such ropes, protections and masks.

In body-oriented therapy, the object of study is tension, which is essentially a deviation from the norm and distinguishes between functional and organic tension, and functional tension, in turn, is divided into three types: superficial (situational), defensive and psychosomatic.

Surface tension occurs as a result of physical overload - prolonged exposure to an uncomfortable position, difficult work, specific load, etc. This type of tension is the most noticeable, it is what they usually feel, they are well aware of it and know a lot of ways to deal with it. A contrast shower, a glass of mulled wine, exercise, hot tea, a good sound sleep, a few minutes of “laughter therapy”, a massage, closeness with a loved one - and the fatigue is gone. Surface tension is perfectly relieved by simple relaxation techniques.

Protective tension, as the name suggests, arises as a way for the body to respond adequately to external influences or an unusual situation. This type of tension can best be seen in an atypical situation in which a person finds himself. So, if a person finds himself in an unfamiliar company and from the threshold falls under the guns of curious and wary eyes, his body instantly seems to be constrained by a shell and his movements become rigid, jerky, the person feels awkward. The tension of defense, and with it bodily stiffness, goes away only after some time, after psychological relaxation. The basis of this mechanism is the mobilization of the body, its readiness to react in case of danger. Protective tension leaves the body in a matter of minutes, however, a very common phenomenon is the chain transmission effect: feeling protective tension, a person assumes that something is wrong with him and becomes psychologically tense just because this is happening to him. Then such a person begins to struggle with his own defense, i.e. with yourself, the tension increases. After some time, the immediate environment predominantly begins to react to this constantly overstressed person with unmotivated and little-conscious aggression, which, in turn, makes him tense up even more. A person ceases to distinguish between external stimuli, he now defends himself from everything and just in case. Most likely, such a person will say that the world is hostile and one must always be on guard. His body takes on the characteristics of being aggressive and defensive.

Psychosomatic tension is the subject of “interest” of the body therapist in the first place. In itself, it has a formative function in relation to the body and is the result of a person’s psychological experience, a consequence of psychological trauma and experiences. It is at this level that the blocks are located. At this level, a person feels the merging of the pain of the body with the pain of the soul.

The desire to be not who a person is, non-acceptance of oneself, refusal of full reactions and, accordingly, from contact with one’s own body, suppression and lack of differentiation of emotions lead to the fact that the person generally loses the habit of reacting emotionally, or reacts untimely and inadequately. Moreover, a person is also trying to consciously impose a ban on the natural reactions of his own body.

The blocks are directly related to the nature of the action and the nature of the response, i.e. blocks appear where the impulse was blocked and do not occupy the first free space. So, if you wanted to speak out, but did not speak out, you will have a specific tension in the neck, larynx, lower jaw, cheekbones, around the lips and lips. If you wanted to cry and didn’t cry, your forehead and cheekbones will tense, the tension will spread to the nasolabial folds, eyes, and compress your chest. If you wanted to give up the case, but did not give up, driven by feeling, your shoulders will ache sadly and your stomach will remind you of itself.

As a result of receiving the first negative experience of holding back or experiencing, tension appears, on which a new layer of tension will be superimposed all subsequent times when the person experiences the same thing. Thus, the block is most similar to a multi-layer cake, where each subsequent layer is associated with a problem similar to the previous one.

3. How does trauma create a block?

The most common cause of blocks is trauma, which can be physical or emotional. The most serious traumas that potentially create a block occur during the period of human formation - in childhood, when we are especially trusting and impressionable. Injuries can occur during confrontations and arguments due to verbal or physical threats.

How does trauma create a block? Trauma is a danger signal. We instinctively freeze: we clamp down, hold our breath. In other words, we do what is contrary to the process of life - we harden, become tougher in order to protect ourselves, and, strange as it may sound, in order to survive, we “die”. Ideally, when the danger has passed, we need to return to our previous soft, living state, but in real life this is not how things happen: we remain pinched.

What's wrong with that if blocks make our lives safer? Of course, for a certain period, blocks help us survive, but once established permanently, blocks begin to pose a threat, both on a physical and emotional level.

Body: Think of a river with dams and dams. So blocks stand in the way of our inner river, our life, health and energy. Our heart, liver and other organs have to work hard so that the flow of blood and lymph can reach certain areas. What a waste of energy! The area behind the block will lack power, while on the other side the pressure will increase. Frustration, pain, and illness can manifest on both sides of this “dam.” Symptoms are our invaluable warning lights, they remind us that something is wrong and direct our attention to exactly where there is internal conflict.

Perhaps illness is the body's call for rest, a break, perhaps it is calling you to face what no longer serves you and change it. Perhaps illness is the last way out of the situation.

Emotions: In life, when resolving conflict situations, we often encounter strong expressions of emotions: resentment or anger. Most often they are echoes of our past traumas. Emotions are our reactions to our deepest feelings and needs.

If once upon a time your feelings were not heard, then they can still block the flow of healthy energy in the body. Present circumstances that resemble a traumatic situation can awaken fear or anxiety that has been dormant in your body for many years. In this case, you will think that the situation or partner is the cause of your emotions, but this is not the case. To understand what lies behind them, we need to meet the “monsters” of the past, sitting deep in our subconscious.

DIAGNOSTICS OF BLOCKS (using the example of another person)

The client lies on the couch on his back. The inspection is carried out according to the following scheme:

1) his breathing (do the chest, stomach breathe and does the breath enter the pelvis);

2) how elastic the chest is during breathing (how compliant the chest is to pressure);

3) how much a person can consciously breathe from the stomach (the therapist places his hand on the client’s stomach and asks him to breathe);

4) chest and abdomen (by palpation, the degree of pain or tickling sensation is determined, how much the stomach is released, etc.);

5) thighs (the degree of pain or tickling sensation is determined by intense palpation). Of particular interest is the inner thigh. The degree of muscle tension or its “jelly-likeness” is revealed. Both tense and jelly-like muscles are blocked in terms of the passage of energy;

6) buttocks (same technique);

7) how blocked the pelvis is (movement of the pelvis back and forth when breathing, entry of breath into the pelvis).

8) The following exercise is suggested: stand with your knees slightly bent, feet shoulder-width apart, body weight concentrated at the base of your toes. You need to move your pelvis as far as possible, while bending your knees slightly, and make a movement to release the intestines. In this case, the pelvic floor muscles relax. Then the pelvic floor muscles should be “lifted” - they contract. A person may not feel the difference between contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, and this indicates tension in these muscles (the person cannot relax them). The person may also feel that only conscious effort releases the pelvic floor muscles, which then spontaneously contract. The genesis of pelvic floor muscle tension is associated either with early “purity training” (too early potty training), or with early masturbatory inhibitions, or may relate to masturbatory inhibitions during puberty.

9) the degree of tension in the muscles of the back of the neck and shoulders (it is important to check the tension of the paravertebral muscles of the cervical spine, especially at the junction of the neck with the skull (checking techniques as in point 4));

10) throat clamps (manifested in a quiet, somewhat high-pitched voice, the appearance of a “lump” in the throat, spasms of the throat during excitement, fairly frequent nausea with simultaneous difficulty initiating vomiting);

11) tension of the circular muscles of the mouth (with the usual chronic tension of these muscles, the tension is not realized; upon palpation, the upper and lower lips are tense, tightly closed, there are specific circular wrinkles around the mouth, the lower lip can protrude forward, revealing a tendency to call);

13) tension of the circular muscles of the eyes (the presence of radial wrinkles, blurred vision, “lifeless” eyes, absence of tears when crying - signs of an eye block);

SIMPLE TECHNIQUES FOR WORKING WITH BLOCKS IN THE BODY:

1 part:
Take a comfortable body position.
Lie down, close your eyes, relax.
Feel the space that fills your body.
Feel your breath.
Notice your body's signals and sensations and reconnect with them.
Part 2:
Consciously evoke in your imagination that negative image-key that starts the work and forms a block in the body. Then, having seen the picture, begin to expose it, making it white, erasing the image until it completely disappears. You can also hear sounds, and at the same time, translate them into the sound of water (the sound of a waterfall), erasing negative images from the body.

Practice this technique as often as possible until the negative image appears and disappears easily and does not cause you discomfort.

Two effective techniques for working with body blocks.

The essence of this work is as follows. First, the area of ​​the body responsible for the problem is identified, and the most spasmodic muscle in this area is located.
Next, multi-level work is carried out, in which two additional techniques are used.
The first one is “open the body.” The term open the body means that, firstly, the selected area should be as relaxed as possible, and secondly, that it should create the feeling that the body tissues are becoming permeable or spreading apart. Many people in this state have a sensation and visual image of a flow of pathogenic energy leaving the body.
The second technique is to “expand the sense of the boundaries of the body.” It consists of creating a feeling as if the boundaries of the physical body are moving away, and the surrounding space, together with the objects filling it, become part of it.
The first technique for transforming body blocks begins with the steps listed above, to which both new techniques are added:

create a state of awareness (concentration and deconcentration);
create an image of a problem situation;
expand the sense of the boundaries of the body to such a size that the image of the problem situation appears inside this area;
Continuing to follow the instructions from the previous paragraphs, open the body. After this step, there is a feeling of flows from problem areas of the body. We call problematic areas those areas in which, when creating a problematic image, discomfort occurs. These flows are associated with the image; you can be convinced that if you strengthen the image (i.e. make it bright, contrasting, colorful, clear, three-dimensional, moving, sounding, etc.), then the flows are also enhanced. The following steps are followed:
Find the muscle block in the sensation zone. Squeeze the muscle block with such force as to produce the maximum amount of pain that can be tolerated without losing control.
Direct your concentration to relax this muscle and the tissues around it - strengthening, expanding, as if drawing in, defocusing the pain.
Continue to hold the image and relax the muscle. Direct concentration simultaneously to the image and to the area of ​​the compressed muscle where there is a response to the image. At the same time, defocus your attention so that you become aware of the parts of the body that include this muscle and other muscles in which there is a response to the image, as well as the area of ​​the “expanded” body where the image itself is located.
Continue this process until the pain and discomfort turn into feelings of warmth and comfort. Comfort is experienced in peripheral attention - around the compressed muscle and in other, sometimes quite distant areas of the body.
Continuing to perform all the previous steps and maintaining concentration on the image, we simultaneously receive two sensations in one zone. This is a feeling of warmth and comfort that arises in the process of unblocking, and at the same time a feeling of discomfort created by the image of the problem. These two sensations interact intensely if concentration is directed towards them, and this entire area is in the deconcentration zone.
It is forbidden to think about the problem at this moment. Both peripheral and central attention should be entirely occupied with maintaining contact with the sensation and image of the problem.
This process continues until transformation begins.
Work with a problem can be considered completed when it ceases to be perceived as a problem. A new vision comes that either contains a solution or makes the problem irrelevant. At the same time, the bodily block partially or completely relaxes and becomes painless.

Note: one and the same bodily block, as a rule, contains the memory of many similarly experienced (but different in content) problems, therefore the work on the complete transformation of one block includes many sessions of work on the transformation of problems.

The second technique uses yogic asanas. First (simultaneously with the asana), the first four steps of the previous technique are performed. Then the following steps are added:

While remaining in the asana, become aware of all areas of the body where there is pain or discomfort.
Relax these zones, direct concentration to these zones; increase the feeling of discomfort by relaxing the body.
Open your body in these areas while continuing to relax your muscles. In each of these zones the feeling and image of flow appears.
Create an image of a problem situation. Determine what emotion arises.
Expand the sense of the boundaries of the body so that the image of the problem is inside. Become aware of additional areas of tension caused by the image and open them.
Stabilize the state by continuing to open and relax the body.
Remain in the asana until the state is completely integrated.
Go to the next asana and repeat all steps, working with the same image, or take the image of the next task.

A series of exercises that allow, firstly, to become aware of muscle tension and how it limits breathing, and, secondly, to reduce tension.

Exercise 1. Strengthening rooting and vibration.

Starting position - feet shoulder-width apart, feet slightly turned inward so as to feel the gluteal muscles. Bend forward and touch the floor with your fingers, while lowering your head as low as possible, breathing through your mouth, free and deep. When bending over, your body weight should be concentrated at the base of your toes.
This exercise is performed for at least 25 breathing cycles and gradually increases to 60. After a while, the legs begin to tremble, which means a wave of excitation is passing through them. If there is no trembling, then the legs are too tense. In this case, you can provoke trembling by slowly bending and straightening your legs. The movements should be small: their goal is to relax the knees.

Exercise 2. “Releasing” the belly.

Starting position - standing, feet shoulder-width apart. It's easy to bend your knees. Without lifting your heels from the floor, transfer your body weight to them. After this, “release” the stomach as much as possible. Breathing freely, through the mouth. The purpose of the exercise is to feel tension in the lower body.

Exercise 3. “Bow” (Fig. 4.6, b).

Starting position - feet shoulder-width apart. Place your fists on the sacrum area and bend back as far as possible, like a bow being drawn. This exercise is also aimed at “releasing” the abdominal muscles. If there are chronically tense muscles, then the person, firstly, is not able to perform the exercise correctly (Fig. 4.7, a-d), and secondly, feels pain that prevents the exercise.

One of the most important conditions for bioenergetic work is the absence of conscious forcing of breathing. Therefore, if breathing is shallow, then its conscious stimulation is artificial. Therefore, some techniques are used to spontaneously deepen breathing.

Exercise 4. A person lies down on a bolster (for example, made from a blanket), which lies on a stool 0.5 m high

Mouth breathing. In this position, the back muscles are well stretched, which at the same time relax, “letting go” of the chest. Breathing spontaneously deepens. Possible back pain. If it is small (and the patient does not have spinal pathologies), the exercise should be continued and the pain will go away.

This exercise so energetically shakes up suppressed emotions and weakens muscle blocks that the phenomenon of unconscious expression often occurs - crying and vomiting occur. This situation means that bioenergetic work has outpaced analytical work. In this case, it is necessary to speed up the analytical work, since the patient must understand what is happening to him.

Exercise 5 releases throat constrictions and stimulates spontaneous deepening of breathing.

The same exercise encourages crying (and possibly screaming). In a sitting position, you should relax (as much as possible) and then exhale stops (one groan per exhalation, which is done as long as possible). Then you need to try to make a groan while inhaling. After three full cycles, the groan should be replaced with the sound “Oooh”. When the outlet reaches the abdomen, crying usually begins, but the client does not feel any sadness. Crying is the main means of correcting breathing and releasing tension, especially in children.

Now we will describe a series of exercises to remove blocks from the pelvic muscles.

Exercise 6. “Rotation of the hips.”

Starting position - standing, feet shoulder-width apart. The body weight is concentrated on the toes, the stomach is released. Hands are on your hips. In this position, the person rotates his hips from left to right. This movement should involve the pelvis and minimally the upper body and legs. Breathing freely, through the mouth. It is necessary to make 12 movements in one direction, then the same number in the other. When performing the exercise, you should pay attention to whether breathing is restrained, whether the pelvic floor remains relaxed and the anus open, and whether the knees are bent.

It cannot be said that if a person easily does this exercise, then he is free from genital tension and sexual problems. But it can be argued that if a person is not able to easily perform this exercise, then he has sexual problems. It is very important that when performing this exercise a person is rooted, otherwise the movements of the pelvis lack emotional coloring.

Exercise 7. Movement of the pelvis.

This exercise helps you become aware of tension in your pelvis and lower back. Starting position - lying on your back on the floor, legs bent at the knees so that your feet are on the floor. As you inhale, press your buttocks into the floor and release your belly; as you exhale, the pelvis rises slightly, your feet press down on the floor (rooting). The exercise is repeated for 15-20 breathing movements. Breathing freely, through the mouth. It is important that in this exercise the breathing is abdominal and “goes into the pelvis”, the breathing movements and the movements of the pelvis should be coordinated, and the buttocks should be relaxed. If the feet lose the feeling of contact with the floor, this means that the pelvis is not free in its movements.

When there is tension in the lower body, a person tends to push the pelvis upward instead of allowing it to swing freely through the hip joints. In this case, the pelvis is carried upward by tense abdominal muscles and tense buttocks. This movement of the pelvis blocks its spontaneous movements and reduces sexual experience.

Here are some cathartic exercises that provide practice in expressing feelings under controlled conditions. The purpose of this control is not to suppress and limit emotions, but to express them effectively and economically under the control of consciousness.

In the exercise, 8 people lie down on a couch.

Legs are relaxed. Hands should hold onto the edge of the couch. You need to raise your leg and hit the couch with your foot with an emphasis on the heel (i.e., not just hit, but kick). At first this is done at a slow pace and with little force, then the tempo and force of the blows increase. At the end the blows must be very strong and very fast. During the exercise, a person should remember the injustices and grievances he has experienced. This exercise allows you to express anger, and also helps to release the pelvis.

Exercise 9 involves the patient hitting the couch with his fists (if it’s a man) or a tennis racket (if it’s a woman), accompanying his actions with the words “shut up!”, “I’ll kill!”, “no!”, “why?!” etc. This exercise discharges anger, but the goal of therapy is not the discharge of anger itself, but the achievement of facia, so the movements should be smooth: before each blow, the patient should stretch out his whole body and move his shoulders as far as possible, as if pulling a bow , and the blow must be delivered not by contracting the muscles, but by releasing the hands from the “charged” position; the blow must be relaxed and free. If the exercise is performed correctly, a wave of excitement flows from the feet to the palms, giving grace to the movements. The goal of this exercise is not the punches themselves, but to stretch the muscles, allowing tension from the shoulders and upper back to shine through.

Bioenergy therapy also includes so-called “warm-up” exercises.

Exercise 10.

In the basic bioenergetic pose (feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent), the body is freely shaken by quickly bending and straightening the knees. In this case, breathing occurs, reminiscent of a dog. The exercise is carried out for one minute.

Exercise 11.

The patient hops on both legs, only slightly lifting his feet off the ground. The exercise is performed until fatigue appears.

In addition, there are specific techniques for removing blocks of the mouth (screams, imitation of gagging, crying, etc.), eyes (circular rotation of the eyes, shifting the gaze into the distance - to the tailbone of the nose), neck (rotation of the neck in different directions). All exercises are performed with free breathing through the mouth. Exercises have been developed for all parts of the body in standing, sitting and lying positions.

Performing bioenergetic exercises allows patients to feel their body in a new way and realize that they do not have contact with many of its parts, to feel the tension that blocks both bodily movements and the expression of feelings.

This training consists of several sessions lasting two hours, and each session consists of two stages: preparatory and own bioenergetic. The purpose of the preparatory phase is to create high-quality partner communication. The bioenergetic stage is associated with the development of bodily blocks.

The training includes the following exercises:

1) feeling different. After establishing verbal contact, the partners lie down in a “jack” position and place their hands on each other’s stomachs in the solar plexus area. Partners should feel each other’s heartbeat and synchronize their breathing;

2) talking with the eyes. This exercise is performed in silence and without words. Partners sit opposite each other, hold hands and look into each other's eyes. Then they close their eyes and immerse themselves in themselves, and after a while they “return” to each other again. This is done several times. The exercise allows you to immerse yourself in your own feelings and those of your partner;

3) silent conversation using hands. Partners hold hands and, with the help of one hand, try to communicate their feelings to each other. This is followed by a verbal discussion of the exercise;

4) “I - you”. One partner grabs the head of the other and, looking into his eyes, says: “You, you, you!” Then they change. This exercise helps to establish contact;

5) feeling the energy of another. Sitting on their heels, partners raise their hands and bring their palms closer to the palms of the other, trying to feel his warmth. After this, they begin the “dance with their hands,” with one partner leading and the other accompanying (the leader is determined spontaneously). Movements should be slow. During the “dance,” the partners stand up and continue standing. This is followed by a discussion of the exercise;

6) greeting without words. The partner who chose the passive role in the previous exercise lies on his back and bends his knees so that his feet are on the floor. The active partner sits on the heels of the passive partner’s head (the active partner’s knees touch the passive partner’s crown), after which he brings his hands as close as possible to the passive partner’s ears, but does not touch them. Then the active partner touches the passive partner’s head and, trying to breathe in his rhythm, examines his stomach, chest and tries to determine which muscles are tense;

7) development of breathing. Starting position - as in the previous exercise. The active partner, without touching, brings his palm to each tense area of ​​the passive partner's body, which helps the passive partner relax these areas. Most often, the upper (clavicle area) and lower (solar plexus area) parts of the chest are tense. The active partner places his fingers on these places and presses on them while the passive partner exhales. One hand of the active partner is then placed over the chest and the other over the belly of the passive partner. When the passive partner inhales, he first raises his chest (thoracic breathing), and then his stomach (abdominal breathing) and thus takes a full breath. If the passive partner holds the air at the end of the exhalation, then the active partner should place both hands on the collarbone area and press on his chest at the end of the exhalation. This involves the upper chest in breathing;

8) massage of the back of the neck, shoulders and face. Massage relaxes the facial muscles, helps remove the usual “mask”;

9) movement of the pelvis. The passive partner lies on the floor with his knees bent and feet planted. The active partner sits on his heels between the passive partner’s legs, grabs his hips and helps raise his pelvis as he exhales. This movement is performed for 5 minutes. It is important to coordinate the movement of the pelvis and breathing;

10) direction of energy to the floor. Starting position - as in the previous exercise. As the passive partner exhales, the active partner presses on his knees. The purpose of the exercise is to increase the passive partner’s level of awareness of the feet as a support;

11) raises the pelvis up. In the top position, the partner can feel the vibration. During inhalation, the lying partner freely lowers his hips and returns to the starting position;

12) on all fours. The passive partner stands on all fours, and the active partner, positioned from behind, clasps his pelvis and, when the passive partner inhales, moves his pelvis back, when exhaling, forward, thereby helping the partner integrate breathing and movement;

13) joint relaxation. Partners lie on their backs, relaxing to the music.

These exercises should be accompanied by the removal of muscle blocks through massage, deepening of breathing and constant strengthening of roots. During the training, trembling, tingling and numbness of the limbs, dizziness, crying, vomiting, anger, etc. may occur, which indicates the progress of therapy.

Blocks in chakras

We all know that tension in the body is created by blocks. Blocks strain and spasm our muscles of the spine and parts of the body, destabilize the functioning of the chakras, which slows down the passage of energy to a specific chakra in the area of ​​which the block is located. As a result, myalgia and osteochondrosis often develop in these areas. The internal organs do not receive clean energy, as a result of which the subtle bodies become clogged, then the physical body and internal organs become clogged. This is how illnesses, problems in life and failures appear, as well as character changes. Blocks can remain in the human body for a long time and create problems for many years, or even decades. Blocks are negative emotions and experiences. When there are many of them and they do not find a way out, they form a block. If there are a lot of emotions, then there can be a lot of blocks.

MAIN CAUSES OF CHAKRA BLOCK

The chakras of different people are different, and even in one person they can be developed differently in relation to each other. But there is one general rule for everyone: without the energy flows of the Earth and Space, our bodies simply could not exist and develop. Our emotional states can lead to blockages in the chakras, which leads to disruption of energy circulation and, as a consequence, to troubles, deterioration of health, and social degradation.

Muladhara

The first chakra is red; Coccyx - Connection with the Earth, responsible for human vitality.
Blockage occurs if a person feels FEAR. This condition blocks the first chakra. To improve your work and remove the blockage, do not put your fears aside, but put them before your eyes. Face your fears. Take them apart piece by piece.

Svadhistana
The second chakra is orange; just below the navel, responsible for creative realization and satisfaction of needs.
Blocking occurs if a person feels GUILT. This is a destructive condition. Everyone who experiences it feels as if in a sticky cocoon of hopelessness. Removing the blockage occurs in the same way as when working with the first chakra. Don't walk away from this. Figure out what you see as your fault. Look at the situation from the other side.

Manipura|Manipura
The third chakra is yellow; The navel is the energy center of our body and is responsible for the strength of our intention.
Blocking occurs if a person feels SHAME, DISAPPOINTMENT. Unfortunately, we are taught this even in schools. Trying to constantly shame the child, telling him: “aren’t you ashamed?” This blocks not only the third, but also the second chakra. Unblocking a chakra is no different from unblocking the first and second chakras.

Anahata
The fourth chakra is green, the heart, and is involved in all processes of human life.
Blockage occurs if a person feels GRIEF. This is no less destructive emotional state of a person. When this chakra closes, a person experiences an unpleasant, painful state in the heart area. It is more difficult to remove the blockage than in other chakras, because... The state of apathy that accompanies all this often does not give a person the opportunity to take a sober look at the problem. It takes a lot of willpower to try to sort out the situation in a state of grief, see the reason and look at everything from the other side.

Vishuddha
The fifth chakra is blue; throat, opens up metabolism, communication.
Blocking occurs if a person chooses a LIE, a LIE TO HIMSELF. This is probably the most difficult thing - don’t lie! Especially if we communicate with people who constantly lie. They see deception in others, even if they are not deceived. Unfortunately, lies are contagious. If you understand this condition and look closely at how it is born, you will see that it is like a virus that is transmitted from one to another. It is difficult to be immune to this, difficult, but possible. Do not answer the deceiver in the same way, do not try to deceive yourself with something. Be private to yourself.

Ajna
The sixth chakra is blue, the middle of the forehead, the third eye, adjusts the body to contact with the subconscious, spiritual will.
Blocking occurs if a person feels SEPARATION, LIVES IN ILLUSIONS. There is no need to take on more than you “can handle.” Star fever always leads to a fall. You become blind and deaf to everything. Really accept what you have. Not what the neighbor has. Don't try to be taller than your neighbor. Dreams come true if they are real.

Sahasrara
The seventh chakra is purple, above the head - connection with cosmic energy.
Blocking occurs if a person has strong EARTHLY ATTACHMENTS. Everything is implied here. Home, work, car, people. You need to learn to let go of everything. The hardest thing is letting go of the person we love. But by accepting that love is not material, this can also be done. Don't mistake your earthly attachments for dogma. Don’t put the “MY” stamp everywhere. Let everything go.

TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUE FOR WORKING WITH BLOCKS IN THE BODY:

1. Definition of feeling.
How do I feel at this moment?
Where is this feeling or state located inside my body?
Determine the shape, color, volume of this feeling;
Next, separate yourself from this feeling, for example, exhale it onto the table in front of you.
Then you need to determine the positive intention of your feeling;
Tell him:
“You are dear to me, I carry you within me, you are part of me.”
“What good are you doing for me?”
Thank him for any answer!
Next you ask:
“Are you my... (fear, sadness, pain, etc.)?”
He can answer in different ways:
- will become a shapeshifter, turn into a different feeling;
- will say anything;
- will say that he is not yours;
The latter happens quite often. We carry within ourselves feelings that we have adopted from our parents, relatives, and environment, and consider them our own. Then you need to look for the owner of the feeling. This can be done this way: create an appropriate image by simply asking the owner of the feeling to come. And it doesn’t matter at all whether you see the image of the owner of the feeling or not - he is already energetically present there as soon as you have fulfilled the intention to create the image. And then return this feeling to its owner with the words: “this is your feeling, for a long time I carried it inside me to remember you, to love you. I give you back your feeling and give you a good place in my heart!”;
If this is your feeling, then you can, as his owner, do for him whatever he wants.
2. Satisfying the desires of your senses.
Look at your feeling and say:
“I am grateful for everything you do for me. I am your mistress and I can do for you whatever you want right now!”
Imagine yourself as a genie-wizard for whom everything is possible. Even if your feeling wants you to die, imagine a grave, erect a monument and say: “That’s it, I’m dead.” You can experiment with his desires without fear. There is nothing to be afraid of in this process. This is all a game that will help prevent terrible things from happening in real life. It’s no secret that sometimes the feelings that we carry can kill us, drag us to the grave, grind the world into powder...
If it says – I want to be with you forever, you can snap your fingers and say: “That’s it! Eternity has passed!
Experiment!
Do everything for your feeling so that it is satisfied. Give it to him until he says: “That’s enough, I don’t want anything more!”
Then you can let him go. Tell:
“Am I ready to part with my feeling, let it go?”, “When?”
Let him go. Look how it goes away, dissolves...
If it doesn't go away, then ask yourself:
“Can I allow myself to accept this feeling in my body?”
Then after some time try to let him go again...
After the feeling has gone, an emptiness forms in the body... It is important to fill this emptiness, for example, with the pearly white light of unconditional love, golden light, or the sun...

Lately, very often everyone around is talking about how to remove psychological blocks, fears and pressures on your own. But few people know what it is, or they often confuse the concepts of a psychological block with a complex or fear or pressure. Today you can find a lot of information and even more false specialists, with the help of which, of course, for a lot of money, you can get rid of all your inner demons. And yes, people are getting rid of them, but the main question is for how long, and are they getting rid of the right blocks?

We will try to understand all the nuances and give precise definitions, learn how to diagnose psychological blocks in ourselves, and deal with a person’s internal fears and tensions. And most importantly, we will find out how to remove all the blocks, fears and clamps on our own.

Before diagnosing psychological blocks in yourself, you must clearly understand and realize what they are. A psychological block is not just an internal obstacle, it is a very serious internal barrier that prevents a person from living and developing, impeding the flow of vital energy. A person’s life values ​​change; he sees some important aspects under a different prism. There is no need to confuse psychological blocks with stress, pressure, complexes, phobias, etc. Blocks are much more serious and dangerous.

For example, you have a fear of relationships with a man. In this case, you simply will not be able to meet the person you like, but you will still have some kind of sympathy for him. In the case of a psychological block, you will not even pay attention to this person, you will pass by him, not only will he not interest you, you will not even notice him. A person at the subconscious level excludes the possibility of falling in love. Such blocks are fraught with loneliness for life.

How to identify a psychological block? Doing this on your own is extremely difficult. This is because a person takes this state for granted. For him, this is quite acceptable and even normal, for example, to live his whole life alone. It is better for specialists to identify the blocks, so to speak diagnose them.

But in order to remove them, simply the work of a specialist will not be enough; you yourself will have to work on yourself and try in every possible way to get rid of the blocks. Psychologists, unfortunately, are not fairies, and they cannot wave a magic wand and rid you of years of accumulated blocks, fears, complexes, pressures and phobias. This is hard work, first of all.

Psychologists divide psychological blocks into:

• Blocks of desires.
• Blocks of happiness.
• Energy blocks.
• Blocks of love.

You can often find psychotherapists who promise to remove blocks with a “wave of a magic wand.” So, these are real charlatans who want to increase their material wealth at your expense. If you really believe you have a block and have found a therapist to help you get rid of it, ask how your therapist will remove the block before you begin. And if this is self-hypnosis therapy, then be prepared as a result to fight not only psychological problems, but also depression.

Suggestion therapy works instantly, but does not last long. And when everything returns to normal, the person develops terrible depression. And all because there is little suggestion. What is needed is the work of the patient himself, and most importantly, constant self-control, so as not to repeat all the actions and processes that led to such a difficult psychological state.

The basis of any block is a subconscious protest reaction to a certain event. In order for you to have at least a little idea of ​​what causes blocks to appear, it is necessary to give examples. A striking example of a psychological block is the subconscious awareness of marriage through pain. That is, a person associates such a wonderful event as marriage and family life exclusively with pain and mental suffering. Or success with misfortune.

In order for you to have at least approximate guidelines, you can consider the following blocks:

• A protest reaction to various events on an unconscious level. Negative anchoring (when your consciousness directly connects, for example, concepts such as marriage and pain, joy and grief, based on experience, which in the future makes it difficult to find a life partner or achieve success).
• Transforming a destructive way of attracting attention to oneself (for example, self-mutilation) into a permanent mechanism for interacting with people.

Revenge of life is everything that is carried out or not carried out “in spite” of someone, something or life itself.

The cause of the block can be absolutely any stressful event, which, as a rule, a person experiences in childhood. The block does not appear instantly. At first it may be simply a rejection of the situation, then a complex, perhaps even fear, which as a result becomes a psychological block. It is difficult to say exactly why blocks occur. But this is definitely the result of stress and psychological trauma.

Down with psychological blocks

As mentioned above, getting rid of blocks is very difficult, but possible. Doing this on your own is almost impossible. You can’t do this without the help of psychologists. Only an experienced therapist can give instructions and advice on how to combat your ailments. And only individually. There are many ways to deal with blocks. One of which is meditation. But only a specialist has the right to tell you how to meditate correctly. This is because the methods of meditation and self-conviction are different, depending on which block.

Things are completely different with human fears and phobias. Everything here is much simpler than with psychological blocks. Fighting them is possible without the help of a specialist. There are many ways to deal with fears. Let's look at the most effective ones. But first you need to define the concept and occurrence of fears.

There is no person who does not know what fear is. Everyone knows this feeling well. Fear can occur in absolutely anyone, regardless of age. A more aggravated form of any fear is nyctophobia or obsessive fears. This is a very common occurrence.

There are very, very many types of fears. And it is simply necessary to fight them, since they poison a person’s life. What is obsessive fear? It's the same fear, only in a more aggravated form. That is, a person understands perfectly well that, for example, there is nothing terrible about a praying mantis, but a person feels fear of it. Signs of such fears are:

• Suffocation.
• Cardiopalmus.
• Dizziness, weakness, darkening of the eyes.
• Sweating.
• Fever.
• Numbness of the limbs, numbness of the whole body.
• Dispersion of thoughts.

No one knows what causes fear. It can be absolutely anything. No one can understand why and why this feeling arises in our consciousness. We only know that there is always a cause.

Ways to deal with fear

There are quite a few ways to fight. Let's consider them, but we must not forget that all methods and techniques are a very individual matter. And if something doesn’t suit one person, it may be just right for another:

1. One of the most effective ways to fight on your own is to change the environment, not just the environment, but the way of life. For example, if you are afraid of public transport, look for a job near your home. But it is impossible to get rid of fear this way. At the same time, you still need to work on yourself with the help of meditation or other techniques.
2. Before you try to overcome your fears, determine what you are afraid of. Think in detail about the reason for your fear. After understanding the reason, you must realize the fact that all thoughts up to this point (regarding your fears) were not true. There is an opinion among experts that people who are angry, think incorrectly, and are greedy are more prone to panic fears. Therefore, analyze your actions and thoughts. After self-analysis, it's time to take action. Force yourself to do what you are afraid of. But here you need to be extremely careful. Because some fears are life-threatening. Therefore, without fanaticism.
3. Another very effective way to fight is to do what you love. It should become your purpose.
4. You can also overcome your illness through communication. Start leading a more active lifestyle. Chat with new people, make new acquaintances, spend a lot of time with friends. And this will help you get rid of your phobias.

Techniques for dealing with psychological blocks, fears and pressures

There is also a technique that can be used to get rid of fears; it can be practiced if you have been diagnosed with a psychological block:

These techniques are very simple and effective, you won’t notice how your fear or block will remain in the past, and you will live a new bright life. But don’t think that once you have worked through the technique you will get rid of psychological illnesses forever. This technique requires diligence and patience. And only then will you see the result.

Clamps and ways to deal with them

Moral pressures, shyness compared to fears and blocks are not a problem at all. But still, this psychological illness must be fought. Since it can develop into more serious physical and moral problems.

There are several ways to deal with your clamps:

1. Ask a passing person on the street what time it is. Ask people on the street the time every day. Contact at least five people. If you find it difficult to do this, imagine yourself as an actor.
2. Talk to a stranger. It's easier to do this on the road. Strike up a conversation and tell him about yourself. Ask him what you don't know. You need to practice talking with strangers often.
3. Another way to get rid of your tightness is an anonymous conversation. It’s easier to start it over the phone by dialing an unfamiliar number and trying to talk to the person on the other side.
4. Love yourself and find in yourself what is missing in others. Once you find it, show it to everyone, everywhere.
5. Another very effective way to get rid of your internal ailments is very simple and effective. You need to meet the opposite sex, start a conversation, and most importantly, arrange another meeting.

There are many ways, methods, techniques with which you can fight fears, clamps, and blocks. None of them will give instant results. But if you have the patience and diligently follow all the steps, the result will be amazing. You will get rid of your illnesses forever, and this is the most important thing in such therapy.

There are different situations in life and, despite the fact that everything is an experience and every moment is wonderful, most people do not know how to correctly express their negative emotions so as not to harm themselves or others. Instead of experiencing their fear or anger, people prefer to suppress these emotions within themselves.

But you cannot deceive your body, and what we hide from others and from our own consciousness remains in the body in the form of tension. This chronic muscle tension body is called the muscular carapace.

Muscle clamps

Muscle tension, as well as block, spasm or muscular armor- this is a muscle or group of muscles that cannot completely relax and is constantly tense. As a rule, it is hypertrophied, blood passes through it more and more difficult, and the efficiency of such a muscle invariably decreases. In addition, the tight muscle “turns to stone,” interfering with the functioning of the entire body and often causing severe pain with every movement.

The best way to get rid of muscle tension and relax the muscle shell is the method of the famous psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich. According to his theory, the muscular shell includes 7 segments consisting of muscles and organs. Only by “loosening” all 7 segments from the eyes to the pelvis can you solve the complex problem of muscle tension.

Editorial "So simple!" I have prepared 7 simple exercises for you, helping to get rid of muscle tension and emotional stress independently. Everything in the body is interconnected!

1. Eyes
   The muscular armor in the eye area manifests itself in a stiff forehead and a “waxy” face like a mask. It is formed as a result of holding back resentment.

   You can get rid of it through eye exercises. An exercise to open your eyes as wide as possible to engage your eyelids and forehead will also help. By working with this segment, you can not only remove the clamp in the eye area, but also improve your vision.

   

2. Mouth
   The segment extends to the muscles of the throat, chin and back of the head. For example, a person may experience pain in the jaw muscles caused by systematically holding back anger, crying or screaming. To remove this muscle block, you can do this unusual exercise.

   Take a fetal position. Lying on your side, pull your knees up and fold your arms, crossing them over your chest. This pose is also called “curling up.” Make sucking movements with your lips for 5 minutes. After that, relax and lie there a little longer.

   During the exercise, many people begin to cry. This happens because a long-suppressed longing for affection and security begins to emerge. However, you shouldn’t hold back! Crying, which involves the whole body, is very useful. It helps to discharge accumulated negative tension not only in the mouth, but throughout the body.

   

3. Neck
   This stage includes the deep muscles of the neck and tongue. The muscle block mainly holds anger, screaming and crying.

   It is simply impossible, so tilting and rotating the head in one direction or the other, as well as sticking out the tongue, screaming and singing, will help eliminate muscle tension in this segment.

   

4. Thoracic region
   This segment includes the arms, shoulders, as well as the muscles of the shoulder blades and broad pectoral muscles. Problems with the muscles in this area can occur if you constantly hold your breath, which can be a reaction to holding back any emotions. For example: resentment, anger, crying or fear.

   Relax the muscle ring around the chest can be done using breathing exercises. To do this, take off your shoes and lie across the sofa so that your feet are on the floor and your buttocks hang slightly. Place a cushion under your lower back so that your chest is maximally expanded, your head and back are below your lower back. Place your hands above your head, palms up.

   Start breathing deeply, but in no case too often. Breathe like this for half an hour. If you suddenly start crying or laughing, this is a good reaction, indicating the release of suppressed emotions blocked by muscle tension.

   

5. Diaphragm
   This segment, according to Reich’s theory, includes the solar plexus, myocardium, muscles of the lungs and other internal organs, as well as the spinal muscles that envelop the spinal column at this level. This simple exercise will help you remove tension.

   Get on all fours, place your knees at an angle of 90°, and keep your arms straight. Arch your back at the waist as far as possible, and then arch your back up as much as possible. For the best effect, you should repeat the exercise at least 10 times.

   

6. Stomach
   The segment includes the abdominal and back muscles. Tension of muscle tissue in this area occurs due to fear of attack or due to anger and hostility.

   Spasms in these areas are eliminated on their own, but only if the clamps in all other segments are relaxed.

   

7. Pelvis
   This includes all the muscles around the hip joint and the muscles of the lower extremities. And recognizing this tension is very simple: the stronger the block, the more the pelvis will be pulled back.

   Clamps in this segment appear most often and bring the most painful sensations. Such clamps occur in cases of excitement, anger or pleasure. You can cope with a block in the pelvic area through yoga.
   
   

To get rid of muscle tension, you need to tune in to long and leisurely work. Don't force it or rush! Exercises must be done consciously, consistently and gradually. Starting from relaxing the eyes, moving on to other departments only after removing the clamps from the previous ones and ending stress relief in the pelvic area.

You should also remember that muscle tension is like an old habit. They have already “trampled” a wide path in your body and therefore it is difficult to get rid of them, but they return quickly and very willingly.

Once you get nervous or angry about a certain reason, they are right there. Therefore, you need to remove the muscular shell from the body consistently and persistently, without stopping working on yourself, even when the muscle tension recedes. Don't give them a reason to come back again.

Ecology of life. Feelings, emotions and worldview influence the physical body, health and well-being. The body, like a mirror, reflects our psycho-emotional state. We carry out self-diagnosis and identify areas of muscle tension and energy blocks. After all, by eliminating the causes, you can cope with the consequences.

Feelings, emotions and worldview influence the physical body, health and well-being. The body, like a mirror, reflects our psycho-emotional state. We carry out self-diagnosis and identify areas of muscle tension and energy blocks. After all, by eliminating the causes, you can cope with the consequences.

The reason for increased muscle tension in people is constant mental and emotional stress. Conduct a self-diagnosis... Reflect, the mind and body are a single whole, each character trait of a person has a corresponding physical posture.

Character is expressed in the body in the form of muscular rigidity (excessive muscle tension, from the Latin rigidus - hard) or muscular armor.

Chronic tension blocks the energy flows that underlie strong emotions;

Blocked emotions cannot be expressed and form specific clusters of memories with a strong emotional charge of the same quality, which contain condensed experiences and associated fantasies from different periods of a person’s life.

Removing muscle tension releases significant energy, which manifests itself in the form of feelings of warmth or cold, tingling, itching or emotional uplift. Goal-seeking is the state of modern man.

Imposed ideals of material well-being and comfort, the conditions for achieving them, and a focus on the final result rather than on life in the present moment keep people in constant tension. Hence muscle tension > spasm of blood vessels > hypertension, osteochondrosis, peptic ulcer and much more.

Everything else is secondary reasons.

The function of the muscle shell is to protect against displeasure. However, the body pays for this protection by reducing its capacity for pleasure.

The muscular shell is formed into seven conventional segments, consisting of muscles and organs. These segments are located in the eyes, mouth, neck, chest, diaphragm, abdomen and pelvis.

Elimination of muscle tension is achieved through:

Accumulation of energy in the body;

Direct impact on chronic muscle blocks (massage);

Expression of released emotions, which are revealed at the same time;

Spontaneous movements, dance therapy, relaxation exercises, yoga, qigong, holotropic breathing, etc.

1. Eyes. The protective armor is manifested in the immobility of the forehead and the “empty” expression of the eyes, which seem to be looking from behind a motionless mask. Blooming is accomplished by opening the eyes as wide as possible to involve the eyelids and forehead; gymnastics for the eyes.

2. Mouth. This segment includes muscle groups of the chin, throat and back of the head. The jaw can be either too clenched or unnaturally relaxed. The segment holds the expression of crying, screaming, anger. You can relieve muscle tension by simulating crying, moving your lips, biting, grimacing, and massaging the muscles of your forehead and face.

3. Neck. Includes deep neck muscles and tongue. The muscle block mainly holds anger, screaming and crying. Direct impact on the muscles deep in the neck is impossible, so screaming, singing, gagging, sticking out the tongue, bending and rotating the head, etc. can eliminate muscle tension.

4. Thoracic segment: broad muscles of the chest, muscles of the shoulders, shoulder blades, chest and arms. Laughter, sadness, passion are suppressed. Holding your breath is a means of suppressing any emotion. The shell dissolves by working on breathing, especially by fully exhaling.

5. Diaphragm. This segment includes the diaphragm, solar plexus, internal organs, and muscles of the vertebrae at this level. The shell is expressed in the forward arching of the spine. Exhalation turns out to be more difficult than inhalation (as with bronchial asthma). The muscle block holds strong anger. You need to pretty much dissolve the first four segments before moving on to dissolving this one.

6. Belly. Abdominal muscles and back muscles. Tension of the lumbar muscles is associated with the fear of attack. Muscle tension on the sides is associated with the suppression of anger and hostility. The opening of the shell in this segment is relatively easy if the upper segments are already open.

7. Taz. The last segment includes all the muscles of the pelvis and lower extremities. The stronger the muscle spasm, the more the pelvis is pulled back. The gluteal muscles are tense and painful. The pelvic shell serves to suppress excitement, anger, and pleasure.

Sectors of muscle clamps:

NECK AREA The neck is a very important area, a kind of barrier and bridge between the conscious (head) and the unconscious (body). The rationality inherent in Western culture sometimes causes us to rely too much on our own reason. According to studies that have studied how people perceive their body, the size of the head in the internal representation occupies on average 40-60% of the body size (while objectively, anatomically, it is about 12%). This “distortion” is caused by excessive mental activity, incessant “mental chatter,” which gives the feeling that the head is full and it is impossible to either recover or relax. In this case, the texts generated by the head “do not reach” the body, and the body is simply ignored by consciousness - a situation of “separateness” arises, a kind of “Professor Dowell’s head”. In this case, it is important to focus the client's attention on the signals given by the body so that thoughts are associated with sensations.

There is also a reverse version of the “neck barrier”: sensations in the body exist, and are quite vivid, but they are not interpreted and do not reach the level of awareness. This situation is characterized by various pains of psychosomatic origin, paresthesia, etc., the causes of which the person does not understand.

THROAT ZONE It is localized in the area of ​​the jugular notch and is associated with blocking emotions. This reflects problems of interaction with other people (communication) or with oneself (authenticity). Such a block can arise if a person finds himself in a situation where it is impossible to admit to himself some unpleasant truth or do something that threatens to violate his identity (“if I do this, it won’t be me”). This zone also reflects the impossibility, the ban on realizing some important truths (that is, the ban on uttering a significant text or the ban on certain actions: “if I say/do this, it won’t be me”). Long-term problems in this area threaten the development of thyroid diseases, asthma, and bronchopulmonary disorders.

MIDDLE OF THE STERNAL BONE This area is located behind the protruding bone of the sternum, below the jugular notch, and the area of ​​offense is localized in it. Subjectively, the sensations here can be perceived as a lump, a ball, a clot, a “stone on the heart.” In this case, the pericardial channel actually becomes overloaded and cardiac disorders occur. A person with such a problem is also characterized by a specific facial expression - pronounced nasolabial folds, drooping corners of the lips - all this adds up to a mask of distrust of the world and resentment.

CHEST CENTER According to Eastern tradition, in the middle of the chest at the level of the heart is the heart chakra, anahata - the center of love and emotional openness to the world. If there is no place for love in a person’s life, then another basic feeling arises - melancholy, which causes a pulling, sucking sensation in this area. Clients may also describe it as the presence of a callous, compressed, cold, dark “substance.” Damage to this zone, as a rule, is associated with large-scale psychological trauma received in childhood - primarily with the coldness of parents, child abandonment, etc.

DIAPHRAGMAL ZONE Involves the area of ​​the diaphragmatic muscles and the epigastric region. In body-oriented therapy, this area is associated with blocking, prohibiting the expression of any emotions - both good and bad. This is also where fears of financial ill-being and social maladaptation are rooted. When working with this area, you may feel pulled in even with a voluminous abdomen. The tension here is similar to the feeling after a blow to the gut - breathing becomes less deep, emotions, crying, laughter are “frozen”. The body’s protective reaction to the formation of a clamp (which is associated with stagnation of blood, lymph, etc.) is often the formation of a fat pad. Psychosomatic symptoms also often occur stomach ulcer, liver problems(in China, the liver was considered a source of anger), gallbladder. Clamping in the diaphragmatic zone is typical for people who strive to control everything and keep everything to themselves. Typical expressions for them are “I can’t allow myself to do this”, “you have to pay for all the pleasures”, etc. Also, such people strive to constantly discuss what is happening, generate mental constructs, and see life through the prism of schemes.

UMBILICAL ZONE This is the fear zone, which corresponds to the so-called “Reich’s belt,” which also includes the projection of the kidneys. The Chinese called the kidneys the “graveyard of emotions” and the source of cold. After working in this area (and here long “squeezing” movements are used) the client can feel the redistribution of cold throughout the body.

PELVIC CLAMP From the back this is the area of ​​the sacrum, buttocks, iliac crests, from the front - the lower abdomen and inner thighs. Reich associated pelvic constriction with blocked sexuality. If, as a result of sexual life, deep discharge does not occur, giving a feeling of integrity, then deep spasticity, fat, and congestion in the pelvic area are observed. In the presence of a pelvic clamp, many techniques for working with fat deposits are ineffective, since, as already mentioned, they are formed as a protective reaction of the body. Forehead clamp - (neurosthenic helmet), with constant, prolonged stress, general fatigue.

Jaw clamp– jaw clenching (aggression)

Neck area– digitality – concentration of sensations, ambivalence, duality.

Chest clamp– Bronchitis, asthma, a zone of conflict between want and need.

Mid chest- zone of resentment.

Diaphragm clamp– blocks emotions (keeps everything inside, zone of psychosis).

Fear Zone– Fear affects the kidneys and bladder.

Pelvic clamp– Lower abdomen, gluteal muscles. published
