Athena, I have been watching you for years. You actually inspired me to become a massage therapist. When I do bodywork at times I feel I am channeling what I have learned from you. Thank you for being the light in this work. Its a mind, body and spirit effort and I really resonate with your ideals. Much love to you!!!🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much for your comment. I am so honored to of inspired you to find your calling. I'm sure you are a developing into a competent therapist. Much love back to you!
Athena, your work is great! I watch your videos for a really long time.. At first it was because your voice is soo relaxing and when I get older I started learning soo much things from your videos. I really love your work! 💓 HI from the Czech Republic 🙂
You amazing beautiful soul! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and technique with us. This brought up emotion just watching you work and listening to your words. I feel hope that there are people like you in the world sharing, healing, caring... Thank you!
You are just amazing the way you read bodies and bring a vast repository of knowledge with your every touch. What a power in this life. Always inspiring to watch and listen to you. Thank you so much. ♥ Amen, also, about what you're saying about society. I love your thoughts on what's going on in the world.
This is my first time visiting your channel, and this modality is amazing! Where can I locate training to become a practitioner? I have many clients, who've suffered childhood trauma, and I believe they would benefit from somatic emotional release work.
We could use you in Philadelphia, PA. Lots of compliance to 'outer voices' or commands/demands. Very so-called intelligent community here between NYC and DC. (lol...kind of) 😔😔🥺🥺
I've been watching you from the beginning. I adore you. Relative to the comment that the person made about the client's feet, I was taken aback at first as well because usually your videos are so aesthetically soothing in addition to your voice. But I got over it.
I have not, and that would be interesting. It would be fun to see how that would work when the CST rhythm is off. That's when the real work happens. Good idea.
I concur with your friend and you about the...current situation of children demanding things. You’re perspective reminds me of Alan Watts’ perspective. I assume you’ve studied Eastern philosophy!
i love your massage videos but i find your viewpoints and the ways in which you express your feelings to be very negative and antagonistic. almost aggressive. a very much "I know best and this is the way it is" attitude. which is what youre fighting to begin with? im finding it very off putting.
It is your viewpoint and you are free to see things the way you choose. Often criticism comes from those who don't understand something. So, rather than assuming you know my intentions, why not take that 'trigger' inside and ask yourself what it is about YOU that YOU need to address about your attitude or level of understanding? Look to see if YOU feel threatened and are seeing something inside of yourself that is reflects the 'I know best and this is the way it is' attitude. I certainly KNOW that people's choices are paramount to their own growth (being well informed about choosing a modality). This is just one very effective modality that I have seen change lives in a very dramatic way when someone wishes to grow. If you don't like the work that's fine.... but don't criticize me due to your lack of understanding about work that has helped many very traumatized people to heal. I would suggest if you are desiring to grow, to find the modality you resonate with, and someone you trust to guide you through deprogramming of old perceptions in order to find yourself. I for one would never want to work on anyone who doesn't resonate with my work and would surely recommend them to find somewhere else to seek their healing work. Massage is nice, it's also very superficial work. One must go deeper to heal. Thank you for your comment. I hope the best for you.
@@athenajezik8972 I wasn't "triggered" by anything you said and I wasnt saying I disagreed with what you were saying. Some of the things that you said I very much agreed with. I just think your way of going about expressing your thoughts and ideas is very abrasive. Your ideas are just that....ideas. Suggestions for how people can look at their own lives and the world around them differently. There are ways of encouraging people or giving them new ways to view the world that dont involve this very aggressive direct demanding tone that comes off as preachy and holier than thou. You get more flies with honey than vinegar.
@@katherinemeara942 It's all perception and judgement. I appreciate your suggestions that I need to change to suit your opinion, however I am me, and I am far from aggressive, antagonistic, holier than thou or demanding. I have 'caught many flies' just the way I am. Also, you don't know what is involved when dealing with stuck negative emotions... they are more like entities, which I can spot very easily in people just by listening and reading their energy field. The 'client' found the help she needed and I don't think that would of happened had she of been resistant of my questions. She got exactly what she needed. What else is there if the client heals? What does it matter how I appear, if she gets the help she needs? Perception and judgement of others is easy and I agree, it is only 'what you think' (opinion) so I am not affected because that is not who I am. Thank you. ...
Aloha Athena, I love your work and have been following your tutorials for years. I can see to a point where Katherine is coming from in her comment... we're all entitled to our view points, and I normally agree with the information and perspectives you share in your videos, and I appreciate your passionate expression. But for some reason in this particular video I did experience an uncomfortable feeling during your discussion about people behaving like demanding children etc while your hands were on her abdomen. From my own training and years of massage practice, that is such a sacred place, the abdomen, and in my practice I normally prefer to be more present in my thoughts and words and focus solely on what Im feeling coming from my client. You were tuning in and telling us what you were noticing, but the narrative was that of a somewhat cynical or disenchanted vibration, and I noticed myself wanting to just focus on your client's energy and check in to see if she was having any feelings that she needed to work through. Just my opinion, not meant as a judgment. It's always good to know how our messages are being received by the people who are listening. 🙏🏼🌺 @Athena Jezik
@@raincruz5489 Thank you Rain for your comment and I understand how you picked that up. When I am in private practice I focus completely on the client. However, when in front of cameras things are energetically very different. For one the client was very guarded in her energy. It's easy to be more distracted when guarded. There's avoidance, that was reflected in her rhythm being on. The comments I make with cameras on are not rehearsed or pre-thought of. That in mind, something was in that sphere to of been brought up. I got that there is something she is dealing with that brought those words up and I understand how you may of perceived that. My work is often very confronting, that's the way to get to the deeper issues. With cameras on, lights glaring, and microphones on, it's an entirely different environment. We do our best to ignore the camera as we do not want it to be a show, however the energy is very different in the non private situation. The energy that was being picked up was perhaps perceived as cynical, however she did not sense that and it seemed to pass her by. I do appreciate your input and will pay closer attention to discern the distracting energies that may be best to remain silent with. Thanks again... I do appreciate your time to share.
I know you are back home full of light love and joy! Thank you for your legacy beautiful spirit! Namaste. 🙏💫💜
I’m going to miss you Athena😔❤️ May you rest in eternal peace

I have just found this channel... And I could not possibly be more grateful and thankful that I did! This woman is truly amazing!

Thank you. I am very happy you were touched by this work. It is a gift.
I have been watching you for 10 years. Thank you for all of it.
thank you. I appreciate the encouragement.
Reading between the lines, I see a clear endorsement. I agree completely. Big fan and happy to see new videos coming.
The kindest voice ever 💖
You are just amazing the way you read bodies and bring a vast repository of knowledge with your every touch. What a power in this life.

Your work is so beautiful ❤️
This is a great video! Thank you ❤️
I am such a huge fan of you and your work! I always learn something new in your videos Athena! You inspire me!
I can't believe she's gone. 😔
Hi, I am feeling like, that this is something I am going to need this. I have had something that has taken a toll on my life emotionally
This particular way of addressing the emotional issues is also very quick providing the person goes into the work. Are you in Austin?
@@athenajezik8972 No, I am in Birmingham Alabama. Wondered if we could talk, when I am not in my house, so my parents don’t know what is going on
@@danielchaplin4910 Daniel, email me at athenajezik@hush.com. We can schedule a call.
This is my first time visiting your channel, and this modality is amazing! Where can I locate training to become a practitioner? I have many clients, who've suffered childhood trauma, and I believe they would benefit from somatic emotional release work.
www.upledger.com It's the advanced cranio/sacral work. That work starts their process. It is great work. Thank you for asking.
I want to have a session done. How do we do that?
I'm in Austin, Tx. You can make an appointment. Text me.
We could use you in Philadelphia, PA. Lots of compliance to 'outer voices' or commands/demands. Very so-called intelligent community here between NYC and DC. (lol...kind of) 😔😔🥺🥺

The public can be very cruel at times. Thank you.
I'm fascinated by what you meant about left brain dare I say 'indoctrination' in education. I'd love to hear your thoughts further!
Thank you. I will drop more thoughts in other videos.
Have you done this work with the client hooked up to an EEG? That would be interesting
I have not, and that would be interesting. It would be fun to see how that would work when the CST rhythm is off. That's when the real work happens. Good idea.
💗💗💗💗
I concur with your friend and you about the...current situation of children demanding things. You’re perspective reminds me of Alan Watts’ perspective. I assume you’ve studied Eastern philosophy!
Thank you. I'm really not that familiar with Eastern philosophy.
could I book a session like this with you?
sure.
Can we work together?
I'm in Austin. I would be honored to work on you.
I need to get together with you!
