Oh my god this worked. Not to scare anyone away from doing this, totally hyperventilated and just - woah. But afterwards, I am able to breathe fully and I am so relaxed. Please come back and upload more content!! NO ONE talks about this!!
Thank you for sharing your REAL experience doing this. Your comment is going to help someone else, I just know it. That doesn't mean we will all have this experience, it means we will have OUR experience - and that is what we all need to go through to heal and it will look different for all of us. I am planning to come back to TH-cam with a podcast in 2024. I'm not sure about content like this (I stopped teaching self fascia release to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of partner fascia release and mapping that I use in my private practice), but I am very passionate about getting this kind of information out there. I appreciate the nudge!
I am excited for your next lesson- fine if it's partnered! Just do it please. I have begun trauma release, but fibromyalgia has come as a result. So now, I have to go the distance! Help! More! I want your partnered work- today!
@@suzyhawes385 if you're ready to learn the partner method I teach, you can join my online learning center - The Kinetix Academy - today 😊 www.thehumanfreedomproject.com/kinetix-academy Inside the Academy are 18 techniques, safety and technique tutorials, a video library guiding you through the process of learning (where to start and how to progress) and I host once a month Zoom calls for Q&A. I have another course that's designed to help people resolve pain, heal trauma and reverse issues like fibromyalgia. It's called Mind Body Breakthrough. It has about 12 hours of video content that guides you strategically through a series of self assessments and learning how your body functions, how trauma gets trapped in the body in all kinds of ways, and how to know the difference between natural degeneration of the body vs pain and dis-ease which almost always have a nervous system component. The nervous system element typically needs to get addressed where it originated - socially. The fascia element needs to get addressed mostly physically. www.thehumanfreedomproject.com/mbb
I have been on this journey now for about 14 months. This works 100%. There may be kick back, but plant medicine has greatly helped me in this. It allows me to go much deeper into the feeling, body, and emotion. I have released so much trauma. I have now bought a massage table and give my wife and kids massages, and walk them through this process of releasing emotions/trauma.
Thank you for this. I was feeling icky but couldn’t place it. I did some fascia work with a roller just like you said and when I rolled on my belly over my hysterectomy scar, I thought about the surgery and my pregnancies and how alone I was during those times and as I rolled I sobbed and sobbed. I can only hope this helps with the emotional healing from those difficult events.
This woman understands things. We all need to start listening to and utilizing these "alternative" therapies and treatments. I am currently on medical leave because of two herniated discs and a burst blood vessel next to my spinal cord. I am on week 4 of this and I am doing a little better but the first two weeks of this were hell and I got no help from 3 different doctors. I decided I would have to heal this on my own. So I have been doing my own physical therapy and stretching, and watching videos like this have really helped me. I know this video isn't for back injuries but the built up trauma in my body definitely contributed to my injury in the first place. I grew up in constant stress because of my parents and also was a marine for 4 years and went through other traumatic events in my life I was almost beaten to death with a baseball bat in a bad neighborhood in Chicago several years ago. Now that I am feeling a little better from my back injury these types of exercises have really helped me.
@dannyg4358 Keep the bed until your back heals. Simply give it enough time. You just need rest. I had a surgery for a herniated disc in the L5 sacrum as a teenager, so when it relapsed 15 years after the surgery, all I had to do was laying in bed for two weeks. I wish I knew this information before making the mistake of having the surgery as a teenager because cutting the body is one of the most absurd ideas human beings (doctors) have ever come up with.
Please look into red light therapy, both far red light and near infrared. Red light therapy is life changing for pain management and healing! You can buy your own red light lamps to use at home to get daily therapy.
Check out Dr. John Sarno’s work on mind-body and back pain. He was one of the pioneers in this space and he started out as a doctor (MD) treating back pain.
I go into FEAR OVERWHELM way too easily - its as if I have not processed all the stuff in my system from very young age. Lack of feeling safe, lack of feeling secure...and now just have a serious loss so GRIEF in my 60's health is suffering big time now. Tried so many things to try and heal my patterns, even vagal tone, desperate! glad to find this video
Perhaps you need to let go and forgive.. I have heard of many chronic illnesses disappearing after this. Take it to the Lord and rely on Him for the strength open your heart to Him be honest where you’re at right now and ask Him from your heart to help you.. He will…
This verified everything I believe I've been going through. I've been trying to explain it to my doctors and therapists but cannot get anyone to talk about it. Thank you for making this public 😁
If you're willing to fully FEEL the sensations in your body, the FEELINGS that live there...you can release emotions from your body without needing to have an "emotional release" (though the emotions may come up and out while you do this). Of course, there are lots of ways to release emotions and memories from the body. Fascia release offers a really tangible, visceral way for people who are more kinesthetic and body oriented. Let me know if this is resonating with you (or not). I'm always listening and want my content to serve you 💛
It's so good to know that we can release trapped emotions without necessarily having a big emotional release, because sometimes I get caught up in "shoulds" that aren't even true. This helps me to let go and approach this work more openly. Thanks, I needed that!
Hi Elisha, thank you for sharing your work. I’m the same, I’m more body orientated and don’t resonate much with talk therapy. I just wanted to ask though, how safe is it to work with fascia if you may have EDS? I was once working with a osteopath who told me that they thought I have EDS because of hyper flexibility in my body and how ‘stuck’ my body is. I really want to start doing some self help with my body because I can feel so much trauma stored in my body but not sure where to start.
@@sarahjane5271 you're so welcome. I'm glad you're here! So - I am hypermobile and know ALL about how easy it is to get injured. I also believe there's a trauma component here (at least for myself), having to do with being "overly flexible" in my personality in order to belong in my family as a child. I haven't been diagnosed with EDS, but I have a feeling I might be if I decided to go the western medicine diagnosis route. I've decided to film a video answering your question, which will go out on Monday. I've received this question a lot, so it's about time I film a video about it! The short answer is: fascia release is far safer than stretching for people with EDS or any kind of hyper-mobility when it's compression based. There's a difference between stretching and releasing. This is what I'll cover (and more) in the video 😊
@@ElishaCeleste Thank you so much for your response, I appreciate it so much!!! I resonate with everything you have said about EDS having a trauma component. I keep being drawn to fascia release and I’m currently dealing with mysterious health symptoms and I think working with my fascia will provide the breakthrough I need. I can just feel so much within that’s ready to be released. I can’t wait for the video!! Thank you so much again and for your time and effort in responding and sharing your knowledge. Means a lot 🙏🙌💛
Yes please, this is just what a needed: a more visceral visualization that makes these invisible energies more tangible in the healing process. Thank you!
Thank you Elisha. I've been listening to a lot of Gabor Mate's work on addiction and trauma lately. As a physician he concludes that ALL chronic illnesses come from childhood trauma - from emotions we were-are unable to process. The approach you describe in this video is so practical. What I love about it is, we can start from what we are feeling emotionally and see where it reveals itself in the body and meet it there OR start with the body and see what arises from the wisdom inherent in it. I experience this video as part of a great deepening of the work you've been evolving over the last decade or more. So needed now. Please keep it up! Love!
Love Gabor Maté, and I agree. I believe our unresolved conflicts and emotional pain impact our bodies in ways that can set us up to be more susceptible to illness, disease and physical pain. Thank you for the feedback and reflections 💛
It is an intriguing concept, experimenting with sensations as you do these techniques with help of aids. I may incorporate a few ideas and descriptions to my Hatha instruction.
Having trained as a ballet dancer from a very young age, everything I do comes straight from the body and everything I feel comes straight from and to the body. And it is instantaneous and can respond simply to a thought or memory. Thank you for this technique. Although you warned us that this would likely be uncomfortable, my body instantly felt better knowing it was finally being heard!
Our neuro pathways are created in fascia?! 🤯 I'll be doing this technique first thing in the morning. I've never felt so close to getting better. Gratitude 💜
OMG!!!!! This was the best way for me to release stored emotions!!!! I rolled on a massage ball listening to meditation music for 1.5 hrs and I felt a lot lighter. My head was clear and my body feel so light. I was exhausted as if I came in from running. I had no idea that pushing through the pain would make me feel this way. Thank you for doing this video. I now have a tool that works for me.
I’ve rolled on my massage ball three times and after rolling on my right sciatica to relieve pain for 45 min., I was able to sit quietly, quiet my mind and cry. I think my body is starting to release the stress that has built up over the years.
Vipassana meditation is based on sensing sensations. We usually are not consciously aware of our sensation, but they are there. Past programming or patterns ( trauma- complexes) are held in the body. As we scan the body in meditation and accept the sensations as they are, they rise stay for a while and change. The changes come in energy release. By not doing this past sensations ( pain and pleasure) control our current behaviour. All addictions are caused by our past stuck energy. The more we release the past sensation ( accepting them as they are) the old stock come to the surface. This is meditation with intension to heal. Awareness and equanimity are key to this process.
Having worked through the mental side of trauma through understanding I always felt stuck with the next step. For anyone in the same boat, absolutely jump on body work It really was the missing link when it came to healing for me! Love to everyone on their healing journeys 💜
Same for me. Talk therapy is great for understanding and having someone listen to you, someone who can tell you it wasn't your fault. It's great for understanding your coping mechanisms and learning about how trauma affects us. But when it comes to actually healing... that's when you need body work. The body holds the trauma, and we need body work to help the body release the toxicity that is so often making us both physically and mentally ill. Yoga (kundalini, yin and regular hatha) has been working miracles for me. Don't think I would still be here without this tool.
This is great info. I went through abuse my entire life and a dog mauling. The anxiety, depression and pain and PTSD I've experienced is unreal 😢It makes sense why I have hurt not just emotionally, but physically. This is exactly what I need, thank you 😊
I am just waking up to this. I recently became a widow. I do yoga everyday.I feel great however, I went for a Swedish massage recently and it was extremely painful. I realized that my grief is throughout my body. I am grateful to learn more about . I am ready to let go. Than you ❤
I have been practising yoga for 40 years and this has helped release trauma with the right teacher. From my experience once the trauma is released there is space for feeling the body as blissful and flowing and at times ecstatic! So certainly worth exploring as you become your true self. Great video explaining why and how 🙏
I’ve been disassociating for about 8 months now due to unhealed trauma from my military experience at 17 and I’ve just been non stop these last 4 years.. I’m hoping with the help of body work as well as psychotherapy that I can finally find myself again! Thanks for the videos and any additional tips would help! :)
First, thank you so much for your service. Second, in addition to trauma release this way, you may want to look into neuroplasticity based brain retraining. It does wonders for PTSD. I am using Re-Origin and am slowly healing from the effects of Lyme on my brain.
Irene Lyons TH-cam videos are all about healing trauma and the nervous system she has 20 + years of knowledge and has worked with people like peter Levine and others! She is one fascinating lady to listen to 😊
Excellent. We try everything to direct our feelings and control them, but what we don’t do is let the feelings be. Yes it’s painful, but not as painful as suppressing feelings over a life time..
Just spent 20 mins with foam roller on one calf. Feeling the pain sensations. Noticing my tendency to screw my face up and close my eyes in ‘self-defence’. Also to hold my breath. Simple intention now- don’t tense up, don’t try and hide ( eyes closed). Just breathe and feel in a relaxed way ❤
As an athlete, I've been practicing myofascial release regularly for many years, as part of my recovery from training and injuries. Never with the mindset that it could help me heal from mental trauma, but it makes so much sense! Lately I had a series of overwhelmingly crushing experiences that I have a hard time processing, and it's interesting that I can't force myself to train or to do any foam rolling. So I built up all this tension and grief and anger in my body. This video popped up in my feed yesterday and inspired me to do a good 2 hour long foam rolling session. Probably the longest one in my life, I'm just so tense and tender everywhere, it will probably take weeks to roll out. But anyway, your approach makes a lot of sense. I'm glad I found this video!
After two long foam roll and massage ball sessions I realized why I couldn't force myself to train lately. My body stiffened up like protective armour and convinced me that I should leave it stiff while my soul hurts so much. The armour made me rigid, and my body didn't want to train in this state, because it's so easy to get injured with such a limited range of motion. Now I understand that I will have to peel off the stiffness layer by layer, massage and stretch my body until it becomes free and mobile once again. And once I will have reclaimed my mobility, I will naturally start training again, without having to force myself. I'm curious what realisations might come to me in the process. I really hope this will help me deal with my mental trauma.
These are really good realizations, and ponderings. We're all different, so what you need will be unique to you, and the same for others. That's the beauty of going into the body and allowing whatever is there, or reveals itself through the experience, to come into consciousness.
@@ElishaCeleste thank you! I had another intense realization. Years ago, I decided to turn my life around, but I never fully understood where the confidence to do it suddenly came from. Yesterday I remembered that that was when I first started foam rolling. Seriously. I never made this connection before, but indeed, I started practicing myofascial release, became more calm, and less affected by the surrounding toxicity, so I quickly built up the confidence to take a risk and change my life. Wow. What a powerful tool
Having had a CPTSD break over my last job, I've managed to turn my gaze inward and begin to follow a less egocentric existence. I'm three months into my NEW lifelong journey, and I just wanted to share that it was sheer idiosynrcacy that brought me here, exactly where I needed to be, as I struggle with releasing my emotions against a co-worker that hit a little to close to my last flame out. Unfelt negative emotion causes stress, generates cortisol, locks up the muscles.... explains the knot in my shoulder the last 3 or 4 days. Or to simplify, "Mind/body connection". I may look at it a little differently, but we do what we must for healing and perception. Thank you Elisha, you have touched my life in a positive way. I will do my best to pay it forward : )
I did this for the first time and cried (unexpectedly) through 75% of it. I’ve been eyeing your program for a while and this just sealed the deal for me. I’m also doing a program for meditation style nervous system rewiring, but knew I needed to bring somatic release into my practice as well. Thanks for sharing this ❤
Hi Elisha! So interesting to hear about your knowledge on this subject. As a parallel, I would like to share what I have been through; so here's a very short and very simplified story from my life. For 40 years I suffered from severe stuttering and in addition to this I had eczema all over my body. Social wreck that I was, I didn't function in society. But after all, I found my great love in a woman and subsequently wished that I could be "cured" of my ailments. Apart from therapies I had already tried and nothing worked, I found a man who practiced liberating breathing (also called "rebirthing") on me. As said; my story here is very very short, I could easily write pages up and pages down about this - but - I became 100% healthy and have now been completely healthy for almost 17 years. I had trauma within me (blockages) but nothing that I could identify stemming from my own life. It didn't matter either, what dissolved did just that, dissolved. I also became religious after this. A fantastic trip I made, I can promise. Now I can (jokingly) talk anyone to death instead and no eczema is on my body.
This aligns with a lot of eastern knowledge as well. Al sickness is due to blockages and that is facia! A lot of chronic diseases stem from negative emotions which the facia contract and twist into knots, especially in the abodminal area. There is a whole abdominal massage in China that promotes healthy living and that really is relaxing the facia in the belly!
@beckykay9178 yes definatly. Is always better to have it done by someone else and one learns & becomes aware of the techniques that way. There are some yt videos of chi nei tsang.
Years ago I bought myself a roller and within 2 seconds I was in so much pain I never used it again. If my husband merely pokes me I practically jump through the roof. I'm not sure I could do what you're saying in order to release all the trauma that is locked in my body. I may be brave and give it a few minutes but considering that getting up off the floor is now a new even more painful experience, I'm not really sure. Even stepping on the edge of my Crocs to help my arch is sometimes so painful I think I'm going to scream. But I appreciate what you shared and will consider it
Well done. It is rare to find a video that is so spot on on what trauma is and what it takes to release the energies stored in the trauma. I could not find any fault with any of it. Well done in your journey to understand your trauma and well done in creating this video. A rare gem.
Your explanations and approach greatly resonate with me. In Eugene Gendlin's psychotheraputic process of "Focusing", a fundamental part of that process is attempting to access what he calls the "felt sense" inside you. "A felt sense is not a mental experience but a physical one. Physical. A bodily awareness of a situation or person or event. An internal aura that encompasses everything you feel and know about the given subject at a given time-encompasses it and communicates it to you all at once rather than detail by detail". Wow, you have uncloaked things that had previously seemed to me to be somewhat mysterious about Dr. Gendlin's concept of felt sense! Thank you so much!
After years of (ongoing) verbal therapy, I feel stuck with a solid mental awareness and understanding... but i am no closer to finding emotional release, and at 55 my body is in acute pain and very very stiff. I recently had a breathing session which, within 5 minutes, broke down all my internal resistances and i felt I could breath for the first time in YEARS. I am looking for this release. I NEED it, and am very grateful I found this channel. Thank you for opening your hand and extending it to us all
This was great, thank you! Will be trying! This also reminds me if how I did this naturally as a child, feeling safe in my home, relaxing and rolling around the floor, and sometimes stretching in the middle of it. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I've spent my life in a state of constant internal stress, even though I appeared relaxed on the outside. I now realize that I was merely numbing my feelings. After doing this exercise, I cried for about an hour and then felt an enormous sense of relief. I finally feel at peace.
Last year when I started working out intensely after not really doing it for 20 years, I started crying all the time on my drive there and even on my drive home. I was thinking this had to be trapped emotional trauma and I knew there was a lot of that. When I asked my instructors about this though they said it was unrelated 🤔 It’s so incredibly reassuring to see your video on this. Thank you 🤗❤
this video is so valuable and has truly set me free-i just found it so i’m definitely going to binge more. the process of feeling sensations has been weird and definitely disassociated my mind and body, but i’m willing to do it more everyday because I know there are definitely stuck emotions hidden from me. Thank you for all that you do! This should be taught to everyone from young ages and integrated into daily life-it could solve so many issues that all stem from the body/mind.
I've been practicing Yin yoga for almost a year. I've found it a tremendous anxiety release. At times it brings on crying. Please continue posting. Thank you
Thank you, so many people get misdiagnosed with some sort of back issue often pointing to their spine, then surgery but to no avail does the pain go away- that’s because it was hidden emotions that can cause so much pain!
You’re absolutely right when I get my husband to work on my neck and my back all the knots and lower back it releases all the pain is painful but afterwords I feel 100% better

Done! And - I'd love to know what you find fascinating, specifically. If you're willing to share 😊 Sometimes I think I'm "too close" to the material I teach, so it helps me to hear from people who are learning these things for the first time (or in new ways).
This video is amazing. I just found you last week and today was my first practice. I'm recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome and trauma through different methods and techniques. And finally I'm feeling great. I truly appreciate your video and will look into your channel because in all the years I've been searching about how to heal trauma I never found anything as tangible, down to earth, and concise as the practice and information you provide in here. Truly appreciate it. Thank you 💕
Awww, this is one of the best compliments I could imagine receiving. And it's because I was once in the position of trying all the things, going to all the therapists, and getting nowhere. No one could explain in simple language how we function as human beings living in bodies, and what to do about pain and trauma and chronic issues like fatigue or anxiety. Obviously, if you're feeling better it means you did the simple (yet challenging) work of feeling what needed to be felt - whatever has been trapped in your body, blocking energy and fluid flow and likely contributing to the chronic fatigue. Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰
Excellent information, thank you so much Elisha 💓, EMDR therapy save my life releasing all the memories and negative emotions from childhood deep trauma the last two years, now time to release all the pains cause from the trauma from my body 🙏🥰💪 your video is a blessing 💜
After years of working with an amazing woman who has degrees in both neurology and psychiatritry (and later acupuncture and classical Chinese medicine), I've finally come to understand how important feeling and accepting the sensations of our emotions is. The thing is, we can't fully process emotions in the body when we're stuck in our heads and in our thoughts, but choosing to focus on the sensations while allowing the thoughts to sort of scroll by in the background, like wind coming in one window and out another, can help get around that. I truly understood this one day when I was royally pissed off about something someone had done. I realized that all my thoughts of blame were doing was making me more angry. So I chose to focus on the tightness of my chest and neck, the pressure in my head, the feeling that there was literally steam coming out of my ears (like in those old Looney Tunes cartoons, lol), etc., and then allow that energy to flow through my body and into the ground through the bottoms of my feet. The whole process only took a few minutes. But afterwards I felt so much better both physically and emotionally and I found that I was able to let my anger go and move past it instead of bottling it up inside my body.
So important to feel the sensations in the body - such a helpful video! Thank you! I was with a buddhist monch the other day for a „sensation meditation“ and it was kind of the same technique you explained. The body is the storage of all trapped emotions. Hope everyone will be ready to feel and transform them. Much love. 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for this video. Just recently I started watching videos on trauma therapy release. Having gone through and still learning how to go through mental trauma healing my body is still struggling with stress and anxiety. Praying this helps me go further in my healing journey. ❤
I have scanned so many videos and felt no connection and usually scroll after 5 min. I watched the entire video and you spoke to me. Thank you. I will be looking at more of your content for sure. Look
I want to learn all I can about this!!! I believe it is going to change my life and want to help so many others who are going through trauma! I just found your channel and am excited to understand this wonderful therapy!!
I have read the book The Body Keeps the Score. There is a section devoted to how yoga can relieve CPTSD symptoms and heal our nervous system as dramatically as EMDR. Thank you for your work in this area! I appreciate this video.
I'm happy to have found your videos. Feel like home listening to you. I've discovered healing trauma and diseases through exposing yourself to symptoms without avoiding discomfort behind them and also working with the body itself. Healed myself with uncurable diseases this way so I Know it works. Never actually heard of fascia itself but it resonates strongly with me when you talk about it. Was Trying it my own way but when I see you know so much about it, I'm going to follow your lead here. Very useful and valuable video for me. I'm about to watch all of them soon. Thank you so so much.
Made a start recovering from cancer x2 I thought I’d feel pain in certain areas but didn’t work like that my body was doin it’s own stuff I really relate to this thank you❤
New subscriber! This is perfect for me. Started EMDR four months ago and have such a hard time with my body. I understood maybe half of what you said here, but I feel that in watching your content it will really help me access what needs releasing. 🙏💐
Thank you for explaining something really important. I’m trying to overcome my trauma with haptotherapy, which has also got to do a lot with feeling, sensations and emotions. Keep up the good work Elisha.
This is great. I foam roll for my knees and it fees amazing but didnt really consider rolling for emotions which is actually what i’ve really been trying to heal. Now i can do both at once thank you 😊
This came in my feed, Jan 2024. It is like my phone is listening to my inner dialog😊 I am going to do this and feed back will follow. This all makes so much sense!! ❤❤
It's extremely validating to me hearing you explain the physical pain I experience every day and why. For so many years I didn't know why I had physical pain. Now, I know where it came from. Thank you for helping me.
Whew.. this is life changing when you’re ready for it. The memories I haven’t allowed myself to see for decades appeared once I sat in the right spaces. Thank you for the note to acknowledge if we’re allowing a pain tolerance, that helped me move the roller to places that were hiding near others were it just hurt a bit. Thank you so much!!!!
Hi Elisha, thanks for not being so 'commercial' and wanting to sell us a bunch of stuff. You seem like you really care! Question: Ive been overwhelmed by all of the polyvagal nerve theory videos about trauma on TH-cam, so I think I need to find a good place to start, like maybe this video of yours. Do you believe in the tenets of polyvagal theory as it relates to trauma?
Awesome, I am learning something different, but it goes by hand with what you mentioned...connecting with yourself, healing but like you said from the subconscious etc... you explained really well, I will try this with a new roll i got for my back :) So amazing how theres some real stuff out there to help us heal from the root and feel better...thnks for sharing
Thank you for this video. I will try the techniques and let you know what I think. I have a very long history of previous abuse. I was told that me having Hashimoto's thyroiditis and subsequent cancer of the right thyroid lobe was due in part by childhood trauma. I'm ready to release and relax. I hope this helps me😊.
Fascinating video, and I really like your delivery. I started Buddhist chanting in 2013 and it kick-started a process of active healing, along with changes in my thinking. My practice continues to this day and my body is so different now, as is my mind in all its functions. I have felt my fascia moving under my skin, swirling, realigning movements and sometimes a kind of jerk of release. In meditation, which developed slowly over the last decade, when my body is completely still apart from very light breathing, I can still feel it, its presence, even though it's not touching or moving against anything. I've wondered what that is about for a good while now and this video has given me the answer, so thank you :)
Great video. Thank you! I have found that by having a Kundalini Awakening has greatly assisted (although painfully) with releasing trauma from the body. The energy naturally brings up the trauma for healing. These exercises can help with the release. I am grateful you said that slow movement is best for releasing over fast movement. I have found that to be true in my case.
Thank you for connecting the dots for me. I thought fascia was just for physical releases. I didnt know emotions were released through intentional and slow movements rolling on a ball or foam roller along our bodies. Moving slowly helps penetrate pressure (sore spots, tight areas, places on the body I've ignored for a while. Massaging those points for release takes them from being/feeling hard to being/feeling soft. Once I feel soft, I move on to the next spot or I relax and enjoy the release. God bless you for this message. I am welcoming fascia massaging as my new a practice.
FIRST TIME watching you… How in the world I did not found you before?????? Well it seems that this is the perfect time… I’m going to join this journey. Thanks Elisha for existing!!!!!
This was so great! I recently stumbled onto slow or static rolling in various areas of my body which caused a emotional reaction. Then i noticed a renewed sense of energy and lightness. Really interesting and srlf-empowering. Thank you! Please continue in rhis line of info.
This is a life-changing discovery for me, and I appreciate how I'm depth you go into describing HOW these emotions get caught in your facia tissue (as someone who needs more concrete visualization, this video helped the concept become more accessible). I would love to see more of your insights on how to physically work with your body and become aware of and release stored trauma - thank you!🙏🏻
You're so welcome. I'm glad this was helpful for you. This (mind and body, emotions and sensations, trauma, chronic stress and fascia science etc) is primarily what I teach about and help people break free from inside my online coaching community. I'm currently on an extended break from TH-cam content (I'll be back, but not sure when). In the meantime, I send out weekly newsletters and audios for free to my email subscribers. I'll be opening my online community for enrollment again in September. If you're interested in learning more, you can read about it here: kinetix.academy/join/
I'm glad I came upon this video. Even though I'm familiar with everything you've said , I've never heard someone put all of this information in one setting. I'll be tuning in!! Definitely tuning in.
Thank you for this exercise, really. Did it first time today and it really helped with emotional release. i experienced crying, my legs we shaking afterwards, hypervention but all in the good, releasing way.
Martial arts has done more than help for me since my late teenage years; in regards to trauma, stress, anxiety. I'm no doctor, but I do encourage all people to get into some kind of physical sport/endeavor to learn how to channel all bad emotions into positive ones.
Wow. Love fascia work. & how to teach it. This reframes my work a bit better. LMT here & just adding yoga massage which is really self help. Healing myself to help show others...takes out the so called "superficial" blocks ive held onto as my own blocks. Instead of calling out others' bad choices in treating/ speaking to me.
My arms are suffering because the facia in my neck and brachial plexus. My spine and legs are also suffering from tight facia in my hips. Chiropractic release temporarily assists in the pain and tightness, but it also results in a sore body. I have nerve pains in my fingertips, numbness when I lift my arms, and a tight pull with every move unless they’re hanging down. It’s not good to live with and unfortunately my job does not help with the way I have to move to perform (assembly line work). This channel, these videos might’ve been my saving grace. No amount stretching or chiropractic treatment would solve my issue because the issue lies in my facia. Thank you
That was wonderful -- except for my neck (issues) the rest of my body totally relaxed WHICH is very unusual for me. Very Grateful. Eager to try this again tonight to help me get to sleep and shut my mind down. Thank you again. Will continue to follow.

Thank you for what you do! How often do we need to do this? Everyday? Several times a week? TIA
Thank you very much
Though I'm already 64, I try my best
Caring all that pain for so long is already unbearable for me
Oh my god this worked. Not to scare anyone away from doing this, totally hyperventilated and just - woah. But afterwards, I am able to breathe fully and I am so relaxed. Please come back and upload more content!! NO ONE talks about this!!
Thank you for sharing your REAL experience doing this. Your comment is going to help someone else, I just know it. That doesn't mean we will all have this experience, it means we will have OUR experience - and that is what we all need to go through to heal and it will look different for all of us.
I am planning to come back to TH-cam with a podcast in 2024. I'm not sure about content like this (I stopped teaching self fascia release to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of partner fascia release and mapping that I use in my private practice), but I am very passionate about getting this kind of information out there. I appreciate the nudge!
@@ElishaCelestelooking forward to seeing new content from you soon. Take care.
So we just roll ourselves over a roller? I feel like I may have missed something important here
I am excited for your next lesson- fine if it's partnered! Just do it please. I have begun trauma release, but fibromyalgia has come as a result. So now, I have to go the distance! Help! More! I want your partnered work- today!
@@suzyhawes385 if you're ready to learn the partner method I teach, you can join my online learning center - The Kinetix Academy - today 😊 www.thehumanfreedomproject.com/kinetix-academy
Inside the Academy are 18 techniques, safety and technique tutorials, a video library guiding you through the process of learning (where to start and how to progress) and I host once a month Zoom calls for Q&A.
I have another course that's designed to help people resolve pain, heal trauma and reverse issues like fibromyalgia. It's called Mind Body Breakthrough. It has about 12 hours of video content that guides you strategically through a series of self assessments and learning how your body functions, how trauma gets trapped in the body in all kinds of ways, and how to know the difference between natural degeneration of the body vs pain and dis-ease which almost always have a nervous system component. The nervous system element typically needs to get addressed where it originated - socially. The fascia element needs to get addressed mostly physically.

I have been on this journey now for about 14 months. This works 100%. There may be kick back, but plant medicine has greatly helped me in this. It allows me to go much deeper into the feeling, body, and emotion. I have released so much trauma. I have now bought a massage table and give my wife and kids massages, and walk them through this process of releasing emotions/trauma.
That's awesome! What types of plant medicines specifically? I much prefer and utilize Eastern medicine and I'd love to hear more
Hey, can you please help... How to exactly release stored emotions and which medicines?
@@rupalk4274 Through delusion and weed

Plant medicine in psylocibin? Cannabis? Ayahuasca or what do you mean? Appreciate an answer my blockages are strong
Thank you for this. I was feeling icky but couldn’t place it. I did some fascia work with a roller just like you said and when I rolled on my belly over my hysterectomy scar, I thought about the surgery and my pregnancies and how alone I was during those times and as I rolled I sobbed and sobbed. I can only hope this helps with the emotional healing from those difficult events.
Thank you for sharing ♥️

This woman understands things. We all need to start listening to and utilizing these "alternative" therapies and treatments. I am currently on medical leave because of two herniated discs and a burst blood vessel next to my spinal cord. I am on week 4 of this and I am doing a little better but the first two weeks of this were hell and I got no help from 3 different doctors. I decided I would have to heal this on my own. So I have been doing my own physical therapy and stretching, and watching videos like this have really helped me. I know this video isn't for back injuries but the built up trauma in my body definitely contributed to my injury in the first place. I grew up in constant stress because of my parents and also was a marine for 4 years and went through other traumatic events in my life I was almost beaten to death with a baseball bat in a bad neighborhood in Chicago several years ago. Now that I am feeling a little better from my back injury these types of exercises have really helped me.
@dannyg4358 Keep the bed until your back heals. Simply give it enough time. You just need rest. I had a surgery for a herniated disc in the L5 sacrum as a teenager, so when it relapsed 15 years after the surgery, all I had to do was laying in bed for two weeks. I wish I knew this information before making the mistake of having the surgery as a teenager because cutting the body is one of the most absurd ideas human beings (doctors) have ever come up with.
Please look into red light therapy, both far red light and near infrared. Red light therapy is life changing for pain management and healing! You can buy your own red light lamps to use at home to get daily therapy.
Sending you my healing love & light❤
Believe health is possible. Thank you for your service. All good things are coming to you right now.
Check out Dr. John Sarno’s work on mind-body and back pain. He was one of the pioneers in this space and he started out as a doctor (MD) treating back pain.
I go into FEAR OVERWHELM way too easily - its as if I have not processed all the stuff in my system from very young age. Lack of feeling safe, lack of feeling secure...and now just have a serious loss so GRIEF in my 60's health is suffering big time now. Tried so many things to try and heal my patterns, even vagal tone, desperate! glad to find this video
Perhaps you need to let go and forgive.. I have heard of many chronic illnesses disappearing after this. Take it to the Lord and rely on Him for the strength open your heart to Him be honest where you’re at right now and ask Him from your heart to help you.. He will…
This verified everything I believe I've been going through. I've been trying to explain it to my doctors and therapists but cannot get anyone to talk about it.
Thank you for making this public 😁
If you're willing to fully FEEL the sensations in your body, the FEELINGS that live there...you can release emotions from your body without needing to have an "emotional release" (though the emotions may come up and out while you do this). Of course, there are lots of ways to release emotions and memories from the body. Fascia release offers a really tangible, visceral way for people who are more kinesthetic and body oriented. Let me know if this is resonating with you (or not). I'm always listening and want my content to serve you 💛
It's so good to know that we can release trapped emotions without necessarily having a big emotional release, because sometimes I get caught up in "shoulds" that aren't even true. This helps me to let go and approach this work more openly. Thanks, I needed that!
Hi Elisha, thank you for sharing your work. I’m the same, I’m more body orientated and don’t resonate much with talk therapy. I just wanted to ask though, how safe is it to work with fascia if you may have EDS? I was once working with a osteopath who told me that they thought I have EDS because of hyper flexibility in my body and how ‘stuck’ my body is. I really want to start doing some self help with my body because I can feel so much trauma stored in my body but not sure where to start.
@@sarahjane5271 you're so welcome. I'm glad you're here! So - I am hypermobile and know ALL about how easy it is to get injured. I also believe there's a trauma component here (at least for myself), having to do with being "overly flexible" in my personality in order to belong in my family as a child. I haven't been diagnosed with EDS, but I have a feeling I might be if I decided to go the western medicine diagnosis route. I've decided to film a video answering your question, which will go out on Monday. I've received this question a lot, so it's about time I film a video about it! The short answer is: fascia release is far safer than stretching for people with EDS or any kind of hyper-mobility when it's compression based. There's a difference between stretching and releasing. This is what I'll cover (and more) in the video 😊
@@ElishaCeleste Thank you so much for your response, I appreciate it so much!!! I resonate with everything you have said about EDS having a trauma component. I keep being drawn to fascia release and I’m currently dealing with mysterious health symptoms and I think working with my fascia will provide the breakthrough I need. I can just feel so much within that’s ready to be released. I can’t wait for the video!! Thank you so much again and for your time and effort in responding and sharing your knowledge. Means a lot 🙏🙌💛
Yes please, this is just what a needed: a more visceral visualization that makes these invisible energies more tangible in the healing process. Thank you!
Please keep posting about the relation between fascia and trauma. This is so important and not talked a lot. Thank you!
You're welcome, and thank you for the feedback! I agree, it's not talked about enough. I will keep talking and learning and sharing 😊
Thank you Elisha. I've been listening to a lot of Gabor Mate's work on addiction and trauma lately. As a physician he concludes that ALL chronic illnesses come from childhood trauma - from emotions we were-are unable to process. The approach you describe in this video is so practical. What I love about it is, we can start from what we are feeling emotionally and see where it reveals itself in the body and meet it there OR start with the body and see what arises from the wisdom inherent in it. I experience this video as part of a great deepening of the work you've been evolving over the last decade or more. So needed now. Please keep it up! Love!
Love Gabor Maté, and I agree. I believe our unresolved conflicts and emotional pain impact our bodies in ways that can set us up to be more susceptible to illness, disease and physical pain. Thank you for the feedback and reflections 💛
Gabor Mate is a grifter.
and you are saying that because?@@johnkennedy4023
As a result of a dysregulated nervous system @@ElishaCeleste
It is an intriguing concept, experimenting with sensations as you do these techniques with help of aids. I may incorporate a few ideas and descriptions to my Hatha instruction.
Having trained as a ballet dancer from a very young age, everything I do comes straight from the body and everything I feel comes straight from and to the body. And it is instantaneous and can respond simply to a thought or memory. Thank you for this technique. Although you warned us that this would likely be uncomfortable, my body instantly felt better knowing it was finally being heard!
Our neuro pathways are created in fascia?! 🤯 I'll be doing this technique first thing in the morning.
I've never felt so close to getting better. Gratitude 💜
OMG!!!!! This was the best way for me to release stored emotions!!!! I rolled on a massage ball listening to meditation music for 1.5 hrs and I felt a lot lighter. My head was clear and my body feel so light. I was exhausted as if I came in from running. I had no idea that pushing through the pain would make me feel this way. Thank you for doing this video. I now have a tool that works for me.
I’ve rolled on my massage ball three times and after rolling on my right sciatica to relieve pain for 45 min., I was able to sit quietly, quiet my mind and cry. I think my body is starting to release the stress that has built up over the years.
It must have been enjoying since you'd been doing it for 1.5 hours
Vipassana meditation is based on sensing sensations. We usually are not consciously aware of our sensation, but they are there. Past programming or patterns ( trauma- complexes) are held in the body. As we scan the body in meditation and accept the sensations as they are, they rise stay for a while and change. The changes come in energy release. By not doing this past sensations ( pain and pleasure) control our current behaviour. All addictions are caused by our past stuck energy. The more we release the past sensation ( accepting them as they are) the old stock come to the surface. This is meditation with intension to heal. Awareness and equanimity are key to this process.
Having worked through the mental side of trauma through understanding I always felt stuck with the next step. For anyone in the same boat, absolutely jump on body work
It really was the missing link when it came to healing for me! Love to everyone on their healing journeys 💜
I haven't done any of this yet but for the past month I've been taking flower essences and oh my goodness... lol. That stuff is wild.
What kind of bodywork has helped you?
Same for me. Talk therapy is great for understanding and having someone listen to you, someone who can tell you it wasn't your fault. It's great for understanding your coping mechanisms and learning about how trauma affects us. But when it comes to actually healing... that's when you need body work. The body holds the trauma, and we need body work to help the body release the toxicity that is so often making us both physically and mentally ill. Yoga (kundalini, yin and regular hatha) has been working miracles for me. Don't think I would still be here without this tool.
@@icy3004Flower essences???
Say it louder!!!!!❤❤❤❤
This is great info. I went through abuse my entire life and a dog mauling. The anxiety, depression and pain and PTSD I've experienced is unreal 😢It makes sense why I have hurt not just emotionally, but physically. This is exactly what I need, thank you 😊
hugs! May God bless you and keep you.
I am just waking up to this. I recently became a widow. I do yoga everyday.I feel great however, I went for a Swedish massage recently and it was extremely painful. I realized that my grief is throughout my body. I am grateful to learn more about . I am ready to let go. Than you ❤
I have been practising yoga for 40 years and this has helped release trauma with the right teacher. From my experience once the trauma is released there is space for feeling the body as blissful and flowing and at times ecstatic! So certainly worth exploring as you become your true self. Great video explaining why and how 🙏
I’ve been disassociating for about 8 months now due to unhealed trauma from my military experience at 17 and I’ve just been non stop these last 4 years.. I’m hoping with the help of body work as well as psychotherapy that I can finally find myself again! Thanks for the videos and any additional tips would help! :)
First, thank you so much for your service. Second, in addition to trauma release this way, you may want to look into neuroplasticity based brain retraining. It does wonders for PTSD. I am using Re-Origin and am slowly healing from the effects of Lyme on my brain.
It is truly the way to heal. Stick with it❤
Thank you for your service!
Irene Lyons TH-cam videos are all about healing trauma and the nervous system she has 20 + years of knowledge and has worked with people like peter Levine and others! She is one fascinating lady to listen to 😊
Please can you tell me whether this worked for you? I am dissociating since about 7 weeks and I am getting pretty desperate. Thanks in advance.
Excellent. We try everything to direct our feelings and control them, but what we don’t do is let the feelings be. Yes it’s painful, but not as painful as suppressing feelings over a life time..
Great comment. Thank you
Just spent 20 mins with foam roller on one calf. Feeling the pain sensations. Noticing my tendency to screw my face up and close my eyes in ‘self-defence’. Also to hold my breath. Simple intention now- don’t tense up, don’t try and hide ( eyes closed). Just breathe and feel in a relaxed way ❤
As an athlete, I've been practicing myofascial release regularly for many years, as part of my recovery from training and injuries. Never with the mindset that it could help me heal from mental trauma, but it makes so much sense!
Lately I had a series of overwhelmingly crushing experiences that I have a hard time processing, and it's interesting that I can't force myself to train or to do any foam rolling. So I built up all this tension and grief and anger in my body. This video popped up in my feed yesterday and inspired me to do a good 2 hour long foam rolling session. Probably the longest one in my life, I'm just so tense and tender everywhere, it will probably take weeks to roll out.
But anyway, your approach makes a lot of sense. I'm glad I found this video!
After two long foam roll and massage ball sessions I realized why I couldn't force myself to train lately. My body stiffened up like protective armour and convinced me that I should leave it stiff while my soul hurts so much. The armour made me rigid, and my body didn't want to train in this state, because it's so easy to get injured with such a limited range of motion.
Now I understand that I will have to peel off the stiffness layer by layer, massage and stretch my body until it becomes free and mobile once again. And once I will have reclaimed my mobility, I will naturally start training again, without having to force myself.
I'm curious what realisations might come to me in the process. I really hope this will help me deal with my mental trauma.
These are really good realizations, and ponderings. We're all different, so what you need will be unique to you, and the same for others. That's the beauty of going into the body and allowing whatever is there, or reveals itself through the experience, to come into consciousness.
@@ElishaCeleste thank you!
I had another intense realization.
Years ago, I decided to turn my life around, but I never fully understood where the confidence to do it suddenly came from. Yesterday I remembered that that was when I first started foam rolling. Seriously. I never made this connection before, but indeed, I started practicing myofascial release, became more calm, and less affected by the surrounding toxicity, so I quickly built up the confidence to take a risk and change my life. Wow. What a powerful tool
I've been doing the emotional and mental part of healing the last 6 years and recently discovered that my body still has the memory
Of course! It is necessary to address the nervous system and work from the bottom up.
Having had a CPTSD break over my last job, I've managed to turn my gaze inward and begin to follow a less egocentric existence. I'm three months into my NEW lifelong journey, and I just wanted to share that it was sheer idiosynrcacy that brought me here, exactly where I needed to be, as I struggle with releasing my emotions against a co-worker that hit a little to close to my last flame out.
Unfelt negative emotion causes stress, generates cortisol, locks up the muscles.... explains the knot in my shoulder the last 3 or 4 days. Or to simplify, "Mind/body connection". I may look at it a little differently, but we do what we must for healing and perception. Thank you Elisha, you have touched my life in a positive way. I will do my best to pay it forward : )
I did this for the first time and cried (unexpectedly) through 75% of it. I’ve been eyeing your program for a while and this just sealed the deal for me. I’m also doing a program for meditation style nervous system rewiring, but knew I needed to bring somatic release into my practice as well. Thanks for sharing this ❤
Hi Elisha! So interesting to hear about your knowledge on this subject. As a parallel, I would like to share what I have been through; so here's a very short and very simplified story from my life. For 40 years I suffered from severe stuttering and in addition to this I had eczema all over my body. Social wreck that I was, I didn't function in society. But after all, I found my great love in a woman and subsequently wished that I could be "cured" of my ailments. Apart from therapies I had already tried and nothing worked, I found a man who practiced liberating breathing (also called "rebirthing") on me. As said; my story here is very very short, I could easily write pages up and pages down about this - but - I became 100% healthy and have now been completely healthy for almost 17 years. I had trauma within me (blockages) but nothing that I could identify stemming from my own life. It didn't matter either, what dissolved did just that, dissolved. I also became religious after this. A fantastic trip I made, I can promise. Now I can (jokingly) talk anyone to death instead and no eczema is on my body.
So inspiring!! Thank you for sharing your story.
This aligns with a lot of eastern knowledge as well. Al sickness is due to blockages and that is facia! A lot of chronic diseases stem from negative emotions which the facia contract and twist into knots, especially in the abodminal area. There is a whole abdominal massage in China that promotes healthy living and that really is relaxing the facia in the belly!
Yes, Chi Nei Tsang (abdominal Thai healing massage) is one of the most profound therapeutical massages found in Chinese and Thai Medicine.
@@live-to-rideis this something a person can learn to do on themselves at home?
@beckykay9178 yes definatly. Is always better to have it done by someone else and one learns & becomes aware of the techniques that way. There are some yt videos of chi nei tsang.
Years ago I bought myself a roller and within 2 seconds I was in so much pain I never used it again. If my husband merely pokes me I practically jump through the roof. I'm not sure I could do what you're saying in order to release all the trauma that is locked in my body. I may be brave and give it a few minutes but considering that getting up off the floor is now a new even more painful experience, I'm not really sure. Even stepping on the edge of my Crocs to help my arch is sometimes so painful I think I'm going to scream. But I appreciate what you shared and will consider it
Have you seen a doctor about fibromyalgia? Good luck! 🙏
Well done. It is rare to find a video that is so spot on on what trauma is and what it takes to release the energies stored in the trauma. I could not find any fault with any of it. Well done in your journey to understand your trauma and well done in creating this video. A rare gem.
Your explanations and approach greatly resonate with me. In Eugene Gendlin's psychotheraputic process of "Focusing", a fundamental part of that process is attempting to access what he calls the "felt sense" inside you.
"A felt sense is not a mental experience but a physical one. Physical. A bodily awareness of a situation or person or event. An internal aura that encompasses everything you feel and know about the given subject at a given time-encompasses it and communicates it to you all at once rather than detail by detail".
Wow, you have uncloaked things that had previously seemed to me to be somewhat mysterious about Dr. Gendlin's concept of felt sense!
Thank you so much!
After years of (ongoing) verbal therapy, I feel stuck with a solid mental awareness and understanding... but i am no closer to finding emotional release, and at 55 my body is in acute pain and very very stiff. I recently had a breathing session which, within 5 minutes, broke down all my internal resistances and i felt I could breath for the first time in YEARS. I am looking for this release. I NEED it, and am very grateful I found this channel. Thank you for opening your hand and extending it to us all
This was great, thank you! Will be trying! This also reminds me if how I did this naturally as a child, feeling safe in my home, relaxing and rolling around the floor, and sometimes stretching in the middle of it. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I've spent my life in a state of constant internal stress, even though I appeared relaxed on the outside. I now realize that I was merely numbing my feelings. After doing this exercise, I cried for about an hour and then felt an enormous sense of relief. I finally feel at peace.
Wow, thank you for sharing 💛
Last year when I started working out intensely after not really doing it for 20 years, I started crying all the time on my drive there and even on my drive home. I was thinking this had to be trapped emotional trauma and I knew there was a lot of that. When I asked my instructors about this though they said it was unrelated 🤔 It’s so incredibly reassuring to see your video on this. Thank you 🤗❤
Trust yourself ♥
It can also happen from the evil eyes, anxiety and crying are the signs
Emotions and trauma become trapped in the fascia. Body work releases them.
this video is so valuable and has truly set me free-i just found it so i’m definitely going to binge more. the process of feeling sensations has been weird and definitely disassociated my mind and body, but i’m willing to do it more everyday because I know there are definitely stuck emotions hidden from me. Thank you for all that you do! This should be taught to everyone from young ages and integrated into daily life-it could solve so many issues that all stem from the body/mind.
I've been practicing Yin yoga for almost a year. I've found it a tremendous anxiety release. At times it brings on crying. Please continue posting. Thank you
Thank you, so many people get misdiagnosed with some sort of back issue often pointing to their spine, then surgery but to no avail does the pain go away- that’s because it was hidden emotions that can cause so much pain!
You’re absolutely right when I get my husband to work on my neck and my back all the knots and lower back it releases all the pain is painful but afterwords I feel 100% better
I cried intensively when foam rolling inner things ! i feel so much better now
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🧐 Fascia wraps every nerve ending, muscle fibril, muscle bundle, ligament, and bone, providing shape and texture to the body.
01:16 🏋️♂️ Fascia can be shaped by habits, sports, thoughts, emotions, and trauma, leading to healthy or unhealthy states.
05:15 💡 Unhealthy fascia can cause daily aches, heaviness, and restricted movement, but effective fascial release can reverse these effects.
06:55 💪 Compression and movement-based fascial release is a fast way to improve fascia's health, providing space and elasticity.
08:30 🩺 Fascia plays a vital role in pain, joint alignment, nerve communication, and various issues like plantar fasciitis, knee pain, and back pain.
09:40 💡 Effective fascial work can alleviate pain and correct alignment issues, even with just a few sessions, though professional assistance may yield faster results.
10:07 🏋️♀️ The quad and hip flexor kinetics partner technique can significantly impact pelvic alignment and improve downstream and upstream issues.

Wow❤❤❤
OMG! When you started talking about the fascia, I whooped with joy. Thank you!
You're welcome! Yay fascia!
This is so fascinating, please continue to bring more of this info 🙏
Done! And - I'd love to know what you find fascinating, specifically. If you're willing to share 😊 Sometimes I think I'm "too close" to the material I teach, so it helps me to hear from people who are learning these things for the first time (or in new ways).
This video is amazing. I just found you last week and today was my first practice. I'm recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome and trauma through different methods and techniques. And finally I'm feeling great. I truly appreciate your video and will look into your channel because in all the years I've been searching about how to heal trauma I never found anything as tangible, down to earth, and concise as the practice and information you provide in here. Truly appreciate it. Thank you 💕
Awww, this is one of the best compliments I could imagine receiving. And it's because I was once in the position of trying all the things, going to all the therapists, and getting nowhere. No one could explain in simple language how we function as human beings living in bodies, and what to do about pain and trauma and chronic issues like fatigue or anxiety.
Obviously, if you're feeling better it means you did the simple (yet challenging) work of feeling what needed to be felt - whatever has been trapped in your body, blocking energy and fluid flow and likely contributing to the chronic fatigue. Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰
Hi Elisha, THis does hurt-- everywhere but I can feel & imagine the tension moving out and that is my goal. Loved it.
Excellent information, thank you so much Elisha 💓, EMDR therapy save my life releasing all the memories and negative emotions from childhood deep trauma the last two years, now time to release all the pains cause from the trauma from my body 🙏🥰💪 your video is a blessing 💜
After years of working with an amazing woman who has degrees in both neurology and psychiatritry (and later acupuncture and classical Chinese medicine), I've finally come to understand how important feeling and accepting the sensations of our emotions is. The thing is, we can't fully process emotions in the body when we're stuck in our heads and in our thoughts, but choosing to focus on the sensations while allowing the thoughts to sort of scroll by in the background, like wind coming in one window and out another, can help get around that.
I truly understood this one day when I was royally pissed off about something someone had done. I realized that all my thoughts of blame were doing was making me more angry. So I chose to focus on the tightness of my chest and neck, the pressure in my head, the feeling that there was literally steam coming out of my ears (like in those old Looney Tunes cartoons, lol), etc., and then allow that energy to flow through my body and into the ground through the bottoms of my feet. The whole process only took a few minutes. But afterwards I felt so much better both physically and emotionally and I found that I was able to let my anger go and move past it instead of bottling it up inside my body.
hi can you share her info? Thanks1
This resonates deeply...uncovering these "stuck" parts and setting them free with your guidance is so freeing. (thank you thank you thank you!)
You're so welcome 🥰💛
Just found you.
Will put this into action immediately 🙂
Grateful for your kind instructions 💞
Wow, I’m grateful for this video. This makes the most sense to me of anything I’ve learned about trauma so far. Thanks for this!
So important to feel the sensations in the body - such a helpful video! Thank you! I was with a buddhist monch the other day for a „sensation meditation“ and it was kind of the same technique you explained. The body is the storage of all trapped emotions. Hope everyone will be ready to feel and transform them. Much love. 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for this video. Just recently I started watching videos on trauma therapy release. Having gone through and still learning how to go through mental trauma healing my body is still struggling with stress and anxiety. Praying this helps me go further in my healing journey. ❤
I have scanned so many videos and felt no connection and usually scroll after 5 min. I watched the entire video and you spoke to me. Thank you. I will be looking at more of your content for sure. Look
I want to learn all I can about this!!! I believe it is going to change my life and want to help so many others who are going through trauma! I just found your channel and am excited to understand this wonderful therapy!!
great content, thank you soo much elisha celeste 🙂 warm greetings from marbella !!
Yes PLZ... keep teaching. Pinched nerves, planters fasciitis...trapped emotions have caused pain like this in me. Thank you!
I have read the book The Body Keeps the Score. There is a section devoted to how yoga can relieve CPTSD symptoms and heal our nervous system as dramatically as EMDR.
Thank you for your work in this area! I appreciate this video.
I'm happy to have found your videos. Feel like home listening to you. I've discovered healing trauma and diseases through exposing yourself to symptoms without avoiding discomfort behind them and also working with the body itself. Healed myself with uncurable diseases this way so I Know it works. Never actually heard of fascia itself but it resonates strongly with me when you talk about it. Was Trying it my own way but when I see you know so much about it, I'm going to follow your lead here. Very useful and valuable video for me. I'm about to watch all of them soon. Thank you so so much.
How did you actually do it
Can u share the process in some steps please, thanks
I like the suggestion to become a hunter of feelings, sensations, etc…. Great way to get imagination involved as well
Made a start recovering from cancer x2 I thought I’d feel pain in certain areas but didn’t work like that my body was doin it’s own stuff I really relate to this thank you❤
New subscriber! This is perfect for me. Started EMDR four months ago and have such a hard time with my body. I understood maybe half of what you said here, but I feel that in watching your content it will really help me access what needs releasing. 🙏💐
Thank you for explaining something really important. I’m trying to overcome my trauma with haptotherapy, which has also got to do a lot with feeling, sensations and emotions.
Keep up the good work Elisha.
This is great. I foam roll for my knees and it fees amazing but didnt really consider rolling for emotions which is actually what i’ve really been trying to heal. Now i can do both at once thank you 😊
This is amazing! Lot of insightful truths. I am doing somatic healing now and its very painful but I know it is necessary
beautiful, thank you x
What you said I find interesting. I want to do this to see if it helps. Thank you for offering it.
Thank You, from myself truly, I hope more Empaths can be Aware of this!
Hi Elisha. Your content and delivery keeps getting better and better.
Thank you for that feedback!
This came in my feed, Jan 2024. It is like my phone is listening to my inner dialog😊 I am going to do this and feed back will follow. This all makes so much sense!! ❤❤
Fascia rules! It s great to see it being in the spotlight
🙏 Awesome thanks as I like to release emotions in the comfort of my own home so grateful namaste
It's extremely validating to me hearing you explain the physical pain I experience every day and why. For so many years I didn't know why I had physical pain. Now, I know where it came from. Thank you for helping me.
Whew.. this is life changing when you’re ready for it. The memories I haven’t allowed myself to see for decades appeared once I sat in the right spaces. Thank you for the note to acknowledge if we’re allowing a pain tolerance, that helped me move the roller to places that were hiding near others were it just hurt a bit. Thank you so much!!!!
It is clear you understand the practice I'm describing in the video. Thank you for sharing your experience 😊
@@ElishaCeleste Thank you for guiding me! I’ll be sharing this 🫶🏼
Hi Elisha, thanks for not being so 'commercial' and wanting to sell us a bunch of stuff. You seem like you really care! Question: Ive been overwhelmed by all of the polyvagal nerve theory videos about trauma on TH-cam, so I think I need to find a good place to start, like maybe this video of yours. Do you believe in the tenets of polyvagal theory as it relates to trauma?
Awesome, I am learning something different, but it goes by hand with what you mentioned...connecting with yourself, healing but like you said from the subconscious etc... you explained really well, I will try this with a new roll i got for my back :) So amazing how theres some real stuff out there to help us heal from the root and feel better...thnks for sharing
Thank you for this video. I will try the techniques and let you know what I think. I have a very long history of previous abuse. I was told that me having Hashimoto's thyroiditis and subsequent cancer of the right thyroid lobe was due in part by childhood trauma. I'm ready to release and relax. I hope this helps me😊.
Wow this is amazing and I only just assessed my legs with my hand and i the tried my shoulders and head and wow how amazing..😊
Looking forward to trying this. Have chronic anxiety but otherwise healthy. Alot knots and stored suppressed emotions. Male 65
Fascinating video, and I really like your delivery. I started Buddhist chanting in 2013 and it kick-started a process of active healing, along with changes in my thinking. My practice continues to this day and my body is so different now, as is my mind in all its functions. I have felt my fascia moving under my skin, swirling, realigning movements and sometimes a kind of jerk of release. In meditation, which developed slowly over the last decade, when my body is completely still apart from very light breathing, I can still feel it, its presence, even though it's not touching or moving against anything. I've wondered what that is about for a good while now and this video has given me the answer, so thank you :)
Great video. Thank you! I have found that by having a Kundalini Awakening has greatly assisted (although painfully) with releasing trauma from the body. The energy naturally brings up the trauma for healing. These exercises can help with the release. I am grateful you said that slow movement is best for releasing over fast movement. I have found that to be true in my case.
This works. Very confronting, but cathartic. Thank you, Elisha ❤
You're welcome 🧡
I didnt blink at all as this video took over my mind. Its so helpful. Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for connecting the dots for me. I thought fascia was just for physical releases. I didnt know emotions were released through intentional and slow movements rolling on a ball or foam roller along our bodies. Moving slowly helps penetrate pressure (sore spots, tight areas, places on the body I've ignored for a while. Massaging those points for release takes them from being/feeling hard to being/feeling soft. Once I feel soft, I move on to the next spot or I relax and enjoy the release. God bless you for this message. I am welcoming fascia massaging as my new a practice.
FIRST TIME watching you… How in the world I did not found you before?????? Well it seems that this is the perfect time… I’m going to join this journey. Thanks Elisha for existing!!!!!
So good! Would love to see the practices!!!!!❤
such information is a gift that keeps on giving ......on daily basis .
This was so great! I recently stumbled onto slow or static rolling in various areas of my body which caused a emotional reaction. Then i noticed a renewed sense of energy and lightness. Really interesting and srlf-empowering. Thank you! Please continue in rhis line of info.
Thank you. This is what I was missing. Please explain more about this.
Just what I needed to see. Thanks so much for posting.
This is a life-changing discovery for me, and I appreciate how I'm depth you go into describing HOW these emotions get caught in your facia tissue (as someone who needs more concrete visualization, this video helped the concept become more accessible). I would love to see more of your insights on how to physically work with your body and become aware of and release stored trauma - thank you!🙏🏻
You're so welcome. I'm glad this was helpful for you. This (mind and body, emotions and sensations, trauma, chronic stress and fascia science etc) is primarily what I teach about and help people break free from inside my online coaching community. I'm currently on an extended break from TH-cam content (I'll be back, but not sure when). In the meantime, I send out weekly newsletters and audios for free to my email subscribers. I'll be opening my online community for enrollment again in September. If you're interested in learning more, you can read about it here: kinetix.academy/join/
I'd love to learn more. I think I'm finally ready.
This is incredibly useful for trauma. I appreciate the demonstration.
I have found this technique to be useful via yoga. I have severe trauma in my past and calm yoga helps me.
would love to learn more about how heal trauma from a body based perspective. so happy i found your channel!
I'm glad I came upon this video. Even though I'm familiar with everything you've said , I've never heard someone put all of this information in one setting. I'll be tuning in!! Definitely tuning in.
Thank you for this exercise, really. Did it first time today and it really helped with emotional release. i experienced crying, my legs we shaking afterwards, hypervention but all in the good, releasing way.
Martial arts has done more than help for me since my late teenage years; in regards to trauma, stress, anxiety. I'm no doctor, but I do encourage all people to get into some kind of physical sport/endeavor to learn how to channel all bad emotions into positive ones.
Wow. Love fascia work. & how to teach it. This reframes my work a bit better. LMT here & just adding yoga massage which is really self help. Healing myself to help show others...takes out the so called "superficial" blocks ive held onto as my own blocks. Instead of calling out others' bad choices in treating/ speaking to me.
My arms are suffering because the facia in my neck and brachial plexus. My spine and legs are also suffering from tight facia in my hips. Chiropractic release temporarily assists in the pain and tightness, but it also results in a sore body.
I have nerve pains in my fingertips, numbness when I lift my arms, and a tight pull with every move unless they’re hanging down. It’s not good to live with and unfortunately my job does not help with the way I have to move to perform (assembly line work).
This channel, these videos might’ve been my saving grace. No amount stretching or chiropractic treatment would solve my issue because the issue lies in my facia. Thank you
Please check out Curalistic and The Human Garage.
That was wonderful -- except for my neck (issues) the rest of my body totally relaxed WHICH is very unusual for me. Very Grateful. Eager to try this again tonight to help me get to sleep and shut my mind down. Thank you again. Will continue to follow.
Excellent 🙏💜🙏 I have been pretending to be ok all my adult life…Thank you 🙏💜🙏
