So fun to see this out in the world 🙌

Just launched 'Protocol Cards' ~ a library of 52x practices to reclaim agency over your internal state. It will analyse your nervous system + emotional state (from your voice) & recommend the ideal protocol. Try it free → protocolcards.com

it feels weirdly serendipitous that I started learning bodywork at the same time that AI started taking all our knowledge jobs
English
I'm biased, but I think this idea of "unclenching" is brilliant.
Cool to see that it's landing for people too... We've had more replies to our emails promoting this training that folks resonate with the framing + content, than for other trainings before "unclench"
Jonny Miller@jonnym1ller
I think 'reducing anxiety' is better framed as 'unclench training' + here are a couple of practical starting points (from the rewire anxiety challenge)
English
Which right now seems something like: 1) let the mind/nervous system relax 2) listen and wait 3) move the body where it wants to move, which is sometimes and often very subtle micro movements
English
Then when I couple it with the somatic movement practice I do… it’s feeling like I’m orienting toward a style that’s something like ‘restorative bodywork’
English
Receiving interesting feedback from people I offer massage to. Most people have shared some impact of “I feel like I was falling asleep but was still awake”
English
@relic_radiation I would like that! I've been meaning to message you actually... I'll be in the bay for a month 3rd March - 9th April, and would loooove to play!
English
@ocean_kiani Oh, does it? I think there’s not much risk you’d miss it if a client came in with it. To me the distortion’s super obvious now, feel free to feel it if you’re in the bay sometime!
Even a layperson friend of mine was like “woah it feels like that area is pushing my hands away”
English
yesterday a client asked me
“are there times a body wants to have *more* adhesions?”
and I realized a better definition of my job than “releasing adhesions” is “hearing bodily order-of-operations”
bc some restrictions are loadbearing, & releasing them would make things worse
English
@relic_radiation I’m early in my bodywork journey (just certified as a massage therapist the other week), and have been practicing somatic practice for years. This post both terrifies and humbles me immensely.
English
my own story of order of operations:
oops, the right hip should absolutely stay crooked for now because it’s protecting an intestinal restriction that would cause serious digestive distress
Elena Lake 🌿@relic_radiation
my THEORY for why this happened is that the right hip restriction was actually compensation to protect restriction around my iliocecal valve - the transition from small to large intestine. so straining my right hip might have opened the iliocecal valve and temporarily given me SIBO. I’d been hungry before the class but, right after my appetite tanked and I felt inflammation in my lower right quadrant of my abdomen. then I self-bodyworked the lower right abdominal quadrant, and it started responding and gurgling a lot, but not fully resolved, but better. then I allowed my right hip to be as crooked as it wanted and that also took the inflammation down by 20%, and it settled over the rest of the day. caveats on this theory: I cannot yet feel the illogical valve, between large and small intestine. but I do know that’s the right spot for it, and I have a lot of pre-existing restriction there. So my general theory is that my right hip is rotated forward to protect that valve from being stuck open, and will not unrotate until restriction around the valve is resolved. order of operations in action. I’m curious @DrMylesDC if you have seen right hip restriction interacting with SIBO symptoms before

I see a lot of focus on “releasing tension” but what I’m aim for in my practice bodywork is more, establishing harmonic tension
like tuning guitar strings so they resonate well and smoothly with one another.
no tension at all = no music
same with body tension/tensegrity
English
@relic_radiation It was so clear to me like “yeah there’s some wisdom in rehab after release”… but I like your model here on the order of operations.
English
@relic_radiation Then the next day my shoulder was firing and my ear was having these weird nerve twangs and I think I was having some kind of phantom smell stuff too. It was pretty spooky for a minute.

I’ll share a small part of pickle.com
Back in med school, I became obsessed with augmenting memory and dreamed of a Notion or Obsidian that completes itself. Today, we’ve built something close.
My self-awareness is sharper and everything feels connected. I genuinely believe AI does not replace humans. It amplifies us.
Huge respect to our engineers and designers who made this crazy thing real.
Bubbles are the episodic units of my life that the system interprets from my raw data. Clouds are the system’s questions, its hypotheses about who I am.
When I answer a cloud, it becomes a bubble again.
There is so much personal data that I cannot fully demo it. Wish I could. This system understands me more deeply than anyone.
Want to try it? Retweet and comment “memory.”
I’ll DM you an access code to skip the waitlist.

Announcing... "Calm Cards" 🚀 It's a beautifully designed deck containing all the most effective nervous system regulation practices that I've come across 👇

The amount of times I hear someone say “I had this amazing realisation about myself omg I’m free from it now”… and then continue to act in the same way.
The amount of times I’ve done this too.
Kinda like a little dopamine hit. This re-framed the notion that just doing non-stop self-development work, courses, workshops, could be just chasing these hits.
I like the visual of letting the epiphany just be there, without capturing or attaching. AND I wonder what the secret sauce that makes transformation possible is… makes me think of Bruce Ecker’s work on memory reconsolidation
Joe Hudson@FU_joehudson
Epiphany is not the same thing as transformation. - An epiphany is a recognition of a belief system that offers you relief. - There's this click in your system, and some relief occurs.. but it's temporary Transformation actually changes the way that you act. It changes how you do things. The epiphany can be a really important part of some transformations, but not all An epiphany is basically dead almost as soon as it arrives. You have it, and you are unburdened from a thought, but pretty soon that epiphany can become your next burden. Every epiphany becomes the next rut

I recently co-created a facilitator training, designed the playbook for facilitating, now the facilitators are doing the facilitating. This was the second iteration of said training and facilitation.
Hearing everyone’s reflections, feedback, and learnings is bringing my heart unexpected levels of joy, wonder, and gratitude.
The first iteration was beautiful, and somehow this v2 feels more like I’ve been an agentic part of the process vs something that “is just happening” or mandated (even though I’d also created v1).
Letting it all sink in. Letting myself know that this creation came through and with and around me. Letting it land.
English
Follow-up thought... We seem to have this societal narrative that "kids are so free in their bodies" and that we lose that as adults we somehow 'lose' some of that freedom. I mostly agree with the latter part but also disagree with the premise.
Hearing the mum's reflections reminded me that it's not a linear/binary "this" then "that" from free to stuck, but an amalgamation of developmental, psychological, mental, and physical stuff that continuously shape our physical and psychosomatic experiences.
Even at an early age.
Kinda unrefined, but there's an interesting thread here.
English
Had someone join a wiggling class today with their kid... Felt really cool to hear the mums reflections that sometimes it's hard for them (the kid) to know what they're feeling in their body, and that the practice helped them access a little more.
Their reflection was "actually I'm cold so I'm going to get a blanket". Sometimes attuning to and moving what we're feeling can be that simple...
