backs to become completely dormant to the point where they are immobilized and can |
hardly be contracted at all If they happen to contract fully as during a fall or when |
lifting something heavy it would be painful and would result in injury |
e We brace our breathing muscles including the diaphragm when we are nervous This |
can push them into partial contraction To unbrace the diaphragm allow your |
exhalations to become passive This involves doing no work during the exhalation and |
letting the breathing muscles go limp The exhalation provides a brief opportunity for all |
the breathing muscles to relax and receive a microbreak |
e Pain signals sent to our brain from tense muscles overwhelm our emotional lives |
They cause the painbody to flare up heightening aggression ego and competition |
for status |
e Muscular tension is a fundamental medical and biological problem Due to its relation to |
stress it is responsible for a wide range of downstream pathologies and health issues |
e Several studies have shown that relaxing the muscles of the body reduces anxiety |
e Distressed breathing results in muscle tension and increased bracing Chronic distressed |
breathing results in copious dormant muscle |
e Diaphragmatic breathing reduces excessive muscular tone allowing muscles the |
microbreaks they need to regenerate This makes it so that the repetitive strains of |
everyday life strengthen our muscles rather than weaken them |
e Your body has learned to be tense but you can teach it to let go of the tension |
PROGRAM PEACE Self Care Exercises to Reprogram Your Mind and Body |
Unbracing which can be accomplished by allowing muscles to go limp is an acquired |
skill that can rehabilitate your entire body when combined with diaphragmatic |
breathing |
Corpse pose involves lying on the back and focusing on fullbody relaxation |
Progressive relaxation involves systematically scanning over the entire body tensing |
muscles then completely releasing them |
The most dominant primates are the least affected by bracing and brace the least during |
confrontation and opposition So unbrace |

The mind which before massage is in a perturbed restless vacillating and even despondent state becomes calm |
quiet peaceful and subdued after massage In fact the wearied and worried mind has been converted into a mind |
restful placid and refreshed Thomas Stretch Dowse |
The Power of Massage to Alleviate Tension Insanity |
The benefits of massage are most apparent in cases in which muscular tension is so extreme |
that it becomes debilitating Let us start with an especially vivid example from my own life It |
involves a close friend who suffered psychotic episodes during which he became highly |
delusional His breakdowns were so severe that he had to be hospitalized on three separate |
occasions He had previously been diagnosed with schizophrenia as well as bipolar disorder |
conditions that were precipitated by harmful life circumstances His mother had recently died |
of cancer his father had been murdered years before he faced frequent bullying from |
hardened streetwise men he had gone through a harsh breakup been homeless for months |
and drank large amounts of caffeine every day |
