Huge congratulations to those who took my "no-talk" Trauma Release workshop last Friday in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. These women are going to help so many clients "release the issues in their tissues."

My heartfelt thanks to Vicky Mattucci-Ganski for hosting the workshop and me in her beautiful home. Without her offer to host, this day would not have happened.

Feedback on Trauma Release: "Madeline provided tools to help release stored emotional trauma & a mind-blowing experience to witness & be able to hold space for healing."

"Changes take place in the most gentle and healing way."

"This is going to be such a helpful technique to allow clients to accelerate their healing journey."

Awakening truth about meditation 🧘‍♀️

Те не многие, кто действительно интересуется медитацией, видят в ней прежде всего средство, через которое они надеются что-то приобрести. Кто здоровье, кто стройную фигуру, кто спокойствие, кто просветление, — и тогда, для всех для них, медитация становится препятствием. Если же медитация жжёт изнутри, в хорошем смысле этого слова, тогда она превращается в пламя трансформации. Многие последователи медитации говорят о своей любви к ней, но никакой трансформации с ними не происходит, — а почему? Потому, что они обманывают себя. Так как в глубине себя у них есть идея, как всё должно быть. Для них, медитация, это только асаны.
Внутри человеческого эго всегда присутствует страх перед изменениями, который подобен страху смерти. Ведь трансформация, отчасти, и есть смерть. Ибо старое уходит на волне рождения нового. Гусеница должна уметь, чтобы новая она смогла летать. Гусеницы не будет, когда появится нечто неизвестное ей, мотылёк, с чем раньше та не сталкивалась. Если ты не готов умереть, то твой интерес к медитации, это просто имитация, фитнес. Всё новое приходит тогда, когда старое уступает ему своё место. Между старым и новым — всегда смерть, что и провоцирует страх. Человек хочет расти, но при этом он хочет оставаться прежним. В этом и заключается самообман.
На самом деле, через медитацию преобразились немногие, в первую очередь потому, что они ничего от неё не ждали. Если в медитации с тобой ничего не происходит, ни каких цветных пятен, никакого голоса, — ничего, ты начинаешь думать, что медитация тебе не подходит. Ведь столько статей, где люди описывают оргазмические переживания. Но истинное, — достигается не достигая. Если пламя твоего намерения наполнено решимостью, то никто не собьёт тебя с Пути. Нет препятствий, кроме самообмана. Только искренность ведёт к трансформации, которая случается тогда, когда вовлечено всё естество, без остатка. Ведь главное не средства и методы, а пламя твоего намерения.

Heading East this summer? If you have Bowtech Mod 7, Madeline McBride is teaching Hormone Release the Bowen Way in New Brunswick. Details and registration link at https://www.mcbridepainclinic.com/hormonal-release-the-bowen-way

Taking good care of your body after Bowen can help to maximise its effects. Are you drinking enough water? Allowing time between sessions for your body to integrate? Not sitting for long periods of time (especially if your back is an issue)? Moving around regularly? Stretching?

What you do after your Bowen session can matter. Make the most of your session after you leave the table with solid self-care.

Everyone falls! Pelvic rotations are a common cause of chronic back pain. In this blog post I describe the types of rotations and upslips.

Pelvis Rotations and Upslips — McBride Pain Clinic Everyone falls…eventually. A bad fall can knock the pelvis bones out of alignment, and the result can be sciatica and unrelenting back pain.

I (Madeline McBride) had a client yesterday who complained about insomnia. I asked when it started, and it turned out that onset of insomnia coincided with when he had a very mild case of COVID last winter. (He is fully vaccinated.)

There are over 200 documented symptoms associated with Long COVID - some mild, some severe. People may not realize that symptoms they are having may be related to having had COVID months or even years before. Symptoms can come and go. Download a symptom chart from this blog post I wrote a year ago. The post describes how Bowen Therapy can help some of those symptoms. https://www.mcbridepainclinic.com/blog/2021/8/1/bowen-therapy-for-long-covid-symptoms

Bowen Therapy for Long COVID Symptoms — McBride Pain Clinic Researchers estimate that more than five million people worldwide continue to suffer from debilitating symptoms months after contracting COVID-19.

This info is very timely. The article also describes how to identify counterfeit masks. that do not meet the standards. The surgical masks are not as protective as N95 masks. The seal around the mask is insufficient.

Practitioners, there is advice on how to rotate N95 masks so you can reuse them after any viruses die off.

The ultimate guide to reusing and buying N95 masks If you want to upgrade to an N95 you’ve sure wondered about what to look for in a good one and whether you can reuse it. We have answers.

Bowen Therapists, here's a good tutorial on rotator cuff tears. He describes a) the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis, and b) how to assess which of those muscle(s) are compromised. This is very useful info.

However,
When it comes to resolving the issue, we know that the stretching he mentions is contraindicated. It will tear the muscle fibers and cause more inflammation. Bowen moves will help the body heal the muscle.
