Muscles are like dogs—they speak a different language that most humans don’t understand. The Melting Muscles practitioner has been trained in muscle language. The moment the muscles realize someone speaks their language, they feel at ease.

At least once in each session the practitioner will say, “This muscle is beginning to melt. Can you feel it sinking?” 

“Maybe,” the recipient often replies.

“That means whatever your brain was tense about, is now resolving. Your brain is turning down the level of contraction as we speak.”

The recipient ponders this as she feels her muscles continue to melt, like a flow. She still may not understand why and how her brain made her muscles tense in the first place, but she feels with certainty that her brain is now making the opposite choice. Sixty minutes of melting leaves her with a sense of freedom, balance, and optimistic awareness--more evidence that her life is changing.


Melting Benefits the World

• People who give or receive Melting Muscles are more cooperative.
• People who have experienced equal partnerships in the massage room, create more equal relationships with others outside.
• Discovering alternatives to force in the massage room, gives people alternatives to force in politics, business and the environment.
• People who have been heard become better listeners.
• Resolving, and embracing muscle tension empowers people to do the same with all their life challenges. 
• Muscles compete with other muscles and cells have conflict with other cells. If muscles can resolve their conflict within one person, people can resolve their conflict within the whole world.

• Melting Muscles is a comfortable and pleasant experience, without any need for pressure beyond your comfort. 
  
• You don’t have to wait until the session is over to tell if it worked. You can tell during the session it is working, because you can actually feel your own muscles soften and relax, as if a drain were opened and the tension is leaking away.
  
• Even when the session focuses on one muscle or one region, like a shoulder, your brain feels safe and makes your whole body relax.
  
• When the session is over you feel lighter, like you are floating.
  
• You can move more freely with less effort.
  
• Balances your body and brain, your mind and spirit.
  
• Reduces soreness, and causes no extra soreness the next day.
  
• The relaxation lasts, because it was your brain’s choice to relax.
  
• Empowering: with each session you gain more and more influence to relax your own muscles. With a series of sessions you can graduate, when you are able to relax your own muscles without a therapist.
  
• Relaxed muscles allow greater circulation of fluids, including the White Blood Cells of the immune system.
