Feeling Trapped?

Approaching 90 years old, my mother’s contributions to the neighborhood continue to expand.  Last week we drove her 1981 Chevy Baja pickup up into the mountains to free two raccoons she had trapped.   Sadly, for several months these mighty cute creatures were feasting on our laying hens.

Similar to my mother, John F Barnes’ contributions to the world of rehabilitation continue to grow.  I am grateful that I am one of 40,000 plus healthcare professionals he has trained nationwide.  In doing so, countless individuals from around the world, many of whom were trapped in long-term chronic pain situations, have been returned to a pain-free life.

What all of these healthcare professionals and their patients share is the willingness to be freed from the trap of logical thinking when it comes to healing.  I recall Katie Hendrick’s a renown movement therapist explain that the mind makes decisions, then when it experiences undesirable results, it says “I did not do this!”  What makes John’s method so novel is that it out-smarts the games of the mind, by inviting us to feel deeply into the body.   

In doing so, patients are encouraged to value their inner-life: to get curious about the sensations inside their body, to let themselves be affected, to follow their impulses, to express themselves rather then repress themselves.  In doing so, they befriend the body’s healing intelligence.   Coupled by the skills of the MFR therapist, the client’s fascia begins to re-organize itself.  Pain begins to dissolve.   Like a trapped raccoon, set free into Nature, MFR reunites us with our own nature:  Mother Nature.
