The first letters of body language

Very often we perceive the body apart from our existence, sometimes with annoyance thinking about what you need to take care of, clothe, feed, heal it, while it tells us about our desires, our anxieties, indicates internal tension and fatigue, significantly reflecting our thoughts and feelings.

And sometimes it is difficult in the city traffic of life to hear the voice of your body!

The body certainly has its own special language. Look around you: someone comes with drooping shoulders, slow and heavy movements, and someone tells a sad and quiet voice. Here the person tries to stretch his shoulders, apparently in pain, and maybe, he thus complains of a feeling of chest tightness or discomfort in the heart area. And how many people suffer periodic headaches and back problems?

Emotionally significant experience, literally, "grow the body" and remains there, forming a zone of chronic muscle stress, or "muscle clamps". Psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich called this body structure "muscular armor".

  • It is created from spasticeski reduced, limited in relaxation of the muscles in certain areas of the body.
  • It makes the body rigid, which eventually affects the structure of nature, by limiting the person's capabilities and manifestations.
  • Protecting from life social adversity, muscle armor binds the bodily feeling of joy, freedom, fullness, causing people to gradually lose touch with themselves.
From the moment of birth until the end of his days a man like any other living creature, trying to fit in, to cope with the situation, to overcome various difficulties. Once it was hunting a wild beast, and currently, the problem can be riding the subway during peak hours, for example, an important conversation with your boss.

The body mobilizes its forces, internal resources, reaching a certain stress level, to maintain, protect, and selects, usually, the reaction of the "hit" or "run", "attack" or "escape".

These mechanisms of response, inherited from ancestors, and work equally animal and human. But in the modern world, when the threat from the insidious predator gives way to unpleasant information, conflict with colleagues or family problems, human muscles also tense up, also breathing, increased blood pressure, but... the action does not occur. There is no way to attack or run away. The actions of no and physiological changes, unspent, unclaimed energy for impossible actions, the tension in the body — remain.

The muscles tense, and if the situation is not resolved properly there was no way to relax, it eventually arises in the body sections of the "frozen" stress or increased muscle tone.

These clips are nothing like the "raw" emotions that are imprinted in the body and begin to disturb the person in the form of various pains and ailments.

Thus, everyday the "freezing" of emotions, which leads to muscular armor, over time affects change in the character of a person, depriving him of the spontaneity, the joy of self-expression, blocking vital energy, reducing the quality of life and limiting the "natural" movement of the body.

Map of corporal clipsPsychologists in the field of externally oriented therapy see a clear relationship between health conditions in various parts of the body and not specific emotions, stressful situations.

Headaches in the forehead they associate with the problems of choice and decision-making.

Pain in the temples linked to chronic tension of the masticatory muscles (clenched jaw). They are figuratively referred to as "headaches objections".

Map of corporal clips rather arbitrary, but the General principles of the location of the muscle stress is well known. Sometimes found and unusual items "muscular armor", describing a specific situation in life of any person.

When we experience sickness, then, of course, want to get as soon as possible the relief, healing. The word "healing" means a return to integrity, the unity of body and soul.

Thus, decreased muscle tone, relaxation of specific bodily zones not only relieves pain and discomfort in these areas, but also allows you to give vent to suppressed emotions, thereby freeing significant life energy that was "trapped" in the muscle clamps.

"Take care of your body so that your soul wanted to live" — so says a famous Chinese proverb.

 

What to do with the body?

My body — what do I do with it,

So single and so my? – asked the poet Osip Mandelstam.
