Wow, this one was a real eye-opener for me today! Sandy Curtis introduced me to your work as she's been helping me deal with some ongoing back pain issues. It became instantly clear to me today that feelings of frustration, anger or fear are presenting as extreme tightness in my stomach. And given the insight Sandy has given me recently into the link between my tight psoas muscles and my pain, and some recent and ongoing stress I've been experiencing, this connection feels VERY relevant. Thank you so much for these free resources. I feel this somatic work is going to be a big part of my healing.
It's a path, a process, to free yourself from the complicated tug-of-war that runs outside the awareness. The cascade of automatic muscular activation can organize around the tight psoas line. Here is a movement to explore for that. ruclips.net/video/wGhKFAoaiZI/видео.html It can be very, very helpful for your back situation. The real culprit in back problems is the tight front and how it burdens the back. Try these two lines: Elbows to the sky: ruclips.net/video/1nalF3G0TB8/видео.html Sunrise, Sunset + The X of the Front: ruclips.net/video/Aw0lRE8As2k/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/oNboiNo-RiU/видео.html For the tight low front: The Unfreeze Sequence: ruclips.net/video/rBD1C11Z2I4/видео.html and this one for the low abdominal diagonals: ruclips.net/video/Aw0lRE8As2k/видео.html Only you can free yourself.
I've been saying for past couple of years 5+...I tense all my head muscles, lock down occipital muscles, jaw....all of it....then I get the wobbles while Im standing
I am so glad you are exploring this. I find it valuable to see how our signature emotions go along with the tendencies of the tensions. This method is valuable, surely, but i encourage you to look bigger movements of the torso as a basic practice. Bigger movements make a more vivid lesson for the system to learn to be relaxed. Apply a broad brushstroke in a careful way. Front back sides (in any order). Then, taking it further, diagonals and verticals of the front back and sides. Add some twisting movements like the Amplified Angle Wing and your have a very complete practice. Again, thank you for your comment. Let me know if you have questions or aha moments. -Eric
Tension and emotion are so intertwined, there is not one without the other. Who wants to be trapped in the automatic echo of long-ago emotions. Practice often. Thank you.
Yes, the beauty of it is that you can teach yourself out of the problem. Many people see triggering events. They project their power onto the event. But consider that the triggering event is the excuse your nervous system uses to jump into the tension it loves to run. That's my take on it. Once you learn that you are the source of the tension of the emotions, there is a big shift, a liberation. I am so glad you tried this one.
In a way, most of the movements that I teach help people unfreeze from the tension of emotions and the reactions to the difficulties of life. This video is a very gentle, sensitive look at the subtle tensions that reside in us. Doing only the small movements is not enough. It takes some of the bigger more powerful movements to get really free. I encourage you to keep up with your practice and walk forward on your path and create your healing.
Thank you once again Eric ,I'm going deep,this mornings releasal stayed with me ,deep in spine and mind, felt depressed afterwards,which lifted amazingly ........then felt so calm,nervous gone,fridgetting gone.....Like I have enough,enough openness,enough depth. voice is way fuller/depth.............spine burn interesting,which spread without organ life,empty/spacious,go liquid,very powerful......you know how much ppl pay to have experiences like this,travel the world...........the side bending is profound for me.........neck may hurt in side strong neck bones..Thank you i wanted to share progress..looking forward to Monday Warm Regards Mikayla
Mikayla, This exploration may be an important bridge for you. It helps you see how your system grips on to the feelings, the tensions of your signature emotions. You deserve to feel the flow of energy, the inner light. These tensions dim us. As we met, today, the sides deserve a special kind lesson. Can you re-unite with those places that seem unfamiliar? Be super-gentle on the neck. Find ways to practice so your neck is not making your system think is doing the movement. Let the torso do the movement, even if it a tiny movement. Make it a pleasurable, cat-like effort, not a strain in a place. That's important. Learn to do it without the videos. You have the power. You've come this far. Live has plenty of challenges. That's how we grow, how we gain wisdom. The angels are cheering for you. The universe is on your side. It's true. Again, thank you for your comment.
Thank you for trying it, Cindy. Revisit it. This is a good one for you to know. Keep looking. Consider any familiar emotion. Here's a list of more possibilities: Feel angry. Feel livid. Feel sad. Feel determined.Feel disgusted. Feel insulted. Feel scared. Feel determined and scared. Feel grouchy. Feel indecision. Feel annoyed.Feel jealousy Feel under pressure.Feel closed in, claustrophobic Feel agitated. Feel lonely. Feel depressed. Feel your mind race. Feel like things aren’t right. Feel open to the experience of life. What do you add to the list? __________
I hold a lot of stuff in my gut. sometimes I’m so bloated out with gas I can hardly breathe. I used to think it’s was from sibo and other such things but those things are from the emotions, shame, anger, fear.
My answer is a generalization and may not exactly be accurate for your specific patterns. In an general way, it may be helpful for you to relax your diaphragm. If the diaphragm is tight the abdomen will be pushed forward, it will protrude. This movement may be a good one to regularly practice: *Relax your Diaphragm* 15m:52s Release tension in your diaphragm, the primary muscle of respiration. This makes the exhale phase of your breathing easier, less effort. ruclips.net/video/KvYQV3sND0c/видео.html The tight arching back can magnificently press the belly forward.

Hi Eric, I wanted to tell you about a discovery I made this morning. By combining what I learned from this, with what I learned from your "fractal" videos, I could feel one thing that keeps my (severe) tension in place is extremely subtle, almost imperceptible contractions in the front I "recognized" them from the fractal work. Not sure if this makes sense, but this too is huge for me. Thanks again for your generosity in sharing your wisdom. I hardly know what to make of some of these experiences I've been having with you. ❤
Greetings Jane, In my dream, I imagined that you (the viewers) can do this. You are doing it. Thank you. Put it together. Make it your own. Look very carefully. The problem is that it is running outside the awareness, it is like an amnesia. The tension is like the background noise in the room that your system has made just out of our perception. These movements allow you to re-calibrate the threshold of your perception. I have a special pattern that helps that more specifically. It takes small movements to tune in the perception. Sometimes larger movements are needed to truly resolve the cycle, to make a solid change. I will try to make a video using the Threshold Pattern. What area are you needing to connect to? The front? upper, lower, symmetrically or not. Give me some clues and I will try to tailor one to your need. I am about to do some recording. I have one for the deep inner chest and rigs that might be good with the Threshold Pattern. Please let me know it that is a relevant area.
@@ericcoopersomatics Thanks, Eric, SO kind of you! The area I noticed yesterday was just under the left rib I think. I was trying to explore WHAT is always keeping my breath held. But I think it actually might be a lot of things below the ribs all the way down to the hips. Besides always feeling like I am holding my breath somehow, I have a chronic pain abdominal? problem (Doctors have suggested it is a sacroiliac strain or arthritis in the hip or maybe a (now-ruled-out) kidney stone or UTI or intestinal spasms (IBS). So I am convinced there's a lot of "amnesia" going on that I've been trying to tease out for a long time. Hope that gives you some "clues" as I'm not clear myself, but I think just knowing what the Threshold Pattern is will help, like being introduced to the "fractal" concept, which I use in various ways now. While I'm here, I've never quite understood what you mean by "connect the dots" and maybe I missed the video which explains that. At any rate, thanks again for sharing your wisdom so generously. Some of the experiences I've been having "with you" just make me shake my head. All I know is that there is something really important for me here.
Thank you. I will try to work on one about the threshold pattern and what it means to connect the dots.

@@ericcoopersomatics Thanks so much, Eric! I will explore the ones you've pointed out. I've been tending to watch what catches my eye in the moment. And often I hear you say just the thing I'm needing, so I guess it's working OK. ;o) I was surprised you used the words "abdomen related tension" because I realized how I'm not aware of feeling tense there! So it must be that amnesia thing! Thanks again. ❤
I didn't have to think of anything, just getting into the position on the floor, brought up emotional release (5 times) and yes, I am tired of being a Victim of the emotional echos 🙏
Go gently. As I saw the potential for this, I began to look at bigger and bigger emotions and it was very freeing. You can free yourself. It takes touching those echoes in safe way. Tiptoe into them. May the angels shine protection and love on you as you journey the realm of the emotions. Learn how to give yourself the love you need and deserve. That's what the practice leads to.
Thank you, Eric for this one. I hope I getting it right. I hold alot of stuck emotions in and around my pelvic floor and abdominal area. Do I tighten all of that area and then let go?
Sure, why not? Can you tighten any area and let it go? That is that challenge. What place does your system need an exploration of asserting voluntary control. To know the pelvic floor in a little more detail, this is a gentle exploration that may help you clarify your understanding of it: Pelvic Floor 1 Pandiculate the quadrants of your pelvic floor in relation to big picture tension patterns of back, front, and sides. 10m:28s Begin to restore easier resting tension to tight pelvic floor muscles. ruclips.net/video/TLv7Fl10LwQ/видео.html
@@ericcoopersomatics It's seems I hold alot around lower part. I feel my nervousness and tightness around the upper thighs, stomach and everything inbetween. I hold my breath in alot too. So, these movements are helping alot, even bringing in my awareness more. I do feel there's some loosening happening. But my body feels very anxious..maybe because my mind its not familiar with what's going on.
When you notice your system is holding the breath, I suggest you hold your breath voluntarily in exactly the same way. Notice everything about it. This may be a helpful movement to explore that relates to being stuck on the inhale. Relax your Diaphragm 15m:52s Release tension in your diaphragm, the primary muscle of respiration. This makes the exhale phase of your breathing easier, less effort. ruclips.net/video/KvYQV3sND0c/видео.html This sequence looks very carefully at the tendency to hold on to an inhale: *Seated Psoas Release |Hard to straighten up after sitting?* 18m:02s ruclips.net/video/AokfLbKkR-o/видео.html *Seated Psoas Release Condensed version* of the full Practice Sequence This one has less explanation and 5 cycles L, 5 cycles R 10m:57s ruclips.net/video/RF8sc7d6f10/видео.html
This is it! There are days I can hardly walk with hip/back pain. It is all emotions causing my muscles to tighten. I can get down and release my muscles with balls and rollers and stand up and walk with no pain! It's a vicious cycle that comes back to haunt me!
Now, you are looking deeper. Often what is hurting is being used to save the day. This Emotion sequence can help you with a glimpse of what your system likes to do with your tension possibilities. Think of this as assessment. Once you see where the tension epicenters are you can have more powerful movements to help your system really get how to let you relax out of it. To some extent we are trapped in the echoes of our emotions. Somatics (at least my version of Somatics) offers a glorious path of self-liberation from these holding that run deep in us. The balls and rollers just trick the brain into relaxing the muscles. They don't teach the system that it can relax. I spent years pushing on my muscles. Now that I know what I know, and that I practice enough, has allowed me to have _no_ sore muscles. The soreness is a sign of the muscles not getting a true rest. Stop pushing on your muscles, and pandiculate the patterns that require those muscles to be on without rest. *Stop Pushing On Your Sore Muscles | Explanation* 2023 1m:48s ruclips.net/video/_gh7BKnb2Rw/видео.html Look to the muscle that oppose your back tension and pain.
