Dissolving Barriers

Pain and suffering. Release and peace.

I went to see Dr. Maria LaPutt, an advanced John Barnes Myofascial Release specialist. Like many of the specialists I see, John Barnes MFR has a spiritual and physical component to its framework.

Maria worked on my frozen shoulder in slow and gentle movements. At times I wondered which was worse ... childbirth with no pain meds or this tortuous steady, light pressure she was putting on my shoulder blade. I panted and groaned, as decades of armor started to bend.

Would my noisy exhales turn into sobs? Not today, but I was on the verge of breakthrough. Maria said, "How are you feeling?" I said I feel grief. "Despair and "Trapped" came through as well.

What is so fascinating about energy work is that there are so many layers.  I break through one, only to find another waiting to be undone. I used to dread the process, but like spring cleaning, I want to open all the drawers and cupboards and expose the hidden dirt and clutter to the light, a damp rag, and a trash bag.
