I tried it last night. While I was rolling, I didn't feel much difference or more relaxation, but oh geez i slept for almost 10 hours. Although I woke up shortly multiple times to readjust my positions, but I could quickly fall back to sleep. This is awesome.
Thanks for your generosity Elisha in sharing your discoveries and creations. I want to try this soon and will let you know what I discover! Funny I was going to do something like this on my own given my chronic thoracic difficulties and tension and displaced ribs and verts that are driving me crazy - goes all the way up the neck as well til I finally have to see chiropractor just to normalize for a little while. I LOVE the idea of toxin drainage! Pretty roller too!
Oh wow! I didn't think I would be able to do this one because my spine is so rigid. I had to adapt it a bit. But I have feeling coming back into my fingers! It feels so good. I knew I had poor circulation, but wow! I will need to try this again. I love how your body showed you what it needed and gave you this routine. I have been experiencing the same thing lately. Our bodies really talk when we take the time to listen rather than dominating the conversation. Thanks for sharing! ☺️ **Update: Unfortunately it's almost 2:30 am and I can't sleep, which is unusual for me. My body and mind are very overactive despite being tired. I'll have to do this earlier in the day next time! But I feel like I can breathe easier and my body has a lot more energy.
Hey girl! I don’t have the cool om roller so I grabbed a pool noodle and worked into my neck shoulders sides of spine in that order and it all felt so awesome 👏🏻 lots of yummy relief 😅 Thanx so much for sharing!
I also love you leggings and tops. And your plant pots! I’ve never seen anything like that before! Please share info if you can! I absolutely just love your channel and you always give me this calm sense of confidence and gentle reminder of how my body knows what to do and how to check in with it! Thanks so much for all that you do! You are love and light!
I have done a few of the routines you show. IT is helping me. I am seeing drainage in my body. More energy and optimism. Thanks. I think you are one of the smartest health people I have seen. I can believe you and relate to you. Thanks.
This felt great. I was working my lats with a yoga block as well as foam rolling last night while watching one of your videos. I slept very well and woke up feeling clear headed and in less pain.
I love that you take your body's input first and then figure out why she asked for that. I have been doing same since i decided to take command of my health for myself. My body knows and understands EVERYTHING she needs. All bodies do.
When you are pressing your head into the roller it hurts you, because for me is very painful, I see nearly stars from pain when I am doing it. Whats your experiance?
Hi and thank you for all your great video’s 😊 I’ve been doing this in the late morning, what a relief for my neck. I also rolled it down under the low back and pelvis with legs up and towards my back, it’s so relaxing. I have been doing myofascia release for a while, but I have a lot of pain in my joints, due to the menopause 😢 Do you think it’ll help going on with MR, or do you have any other suggestions for those pains? Have a nice day 😊
Thanks for the roller lymphatic drainage input! I'll be getting a roller as well. I used a foam roller with towels rolled around it, just to compensate for the softness. I also doubled rolled to towels long ways in their halves so I can roll my neck and do the finger lymphatic massage around the ears! Thanks I'm Fernando by the way.
I recall the Polar Bear violently shaking to rid itself of stored stress from a previous video. And, my sleep routine includes focusing on relaxation of my scalp downwards. My shoulders seem to involuntarily shiver like that polar bear. It is immensely relaxing. Similarly my thighs shake uncontrollably for a short period. Does anyone else get that?
This is usually a biological response to stress or trauma, where the body shakes itself to get rid of the stress and come back to a calmer state. This has been studied a lot by people like Peter Levine. It's what animals do to move stress and trauma out of their bodies. They tend not to carry stress and trauma in their bodies long term like we do. You're definitely not alone in the experience! This happens to a lot of people.
Hi! I LOVE these leggings! They are so comfortable and super cute. They're handmade in California, by a woman owned company called Of Earth and Salt: www.ofearthandsalt.com
Hi Heidi - I really love the Om Roller, the one in this video (a link to buy is in the description box under the video). The reason I like it so much is that it's handmade of wood, natural latex and cotton instead of poly material which is basically plastic, which is what most rollers are made of. However, it is more expensive. If the Om Roller isn't what you're looking for, you could try this one: amzn.to/3dKDQ1F
I have done this 6 times already in the past few weeks. I love this so much. I have a rough time sleeping and I'm not sure if this helps really- but I am much more relaxed going to bed.
Thank you for this explanation. I did this and will adapt some pieces of it into my nightly routine. Have you tried the Melt Method? She has a quick routine (she is in grey) where she does something similar but uses a longer roller on the full spine. In the months I have been using it, I do truly sleep better. I find the nightly habit also builds as your body adjusts. I pause her routine and add in your calf work and adjust it to make it my own. Thanks again.
I would love to have one of these rollers. Is there anything I can use in place of the one that you are using. I checked the prices and it is a no go for me.?? Thank you. Love your videos
Elisha, I filled a pet with water and I covered her with a sock and made these cervical movements. it was fantastic! I was at home and my roller is in the office. I really wanted to try it... and it worked... thanks.😉😘
Tried this last night. Felt really good, especially on my neck and back of my head. Today I feel a little achy in my neck and spine. I’m very new at all this (one week). Is that slight ache normal?
Hi Caryn - if you're new to my channel, then welcome! And thanks for letting me know you're new to fascia release. How are you feeling now? To answer your question: so, bodies do all kinds of things in response to fascia release. Whatever you feel (like the ache you mentioned) is therefore "normal" for you and your body. I always like to encourage you to find your own answers by getting to know your body and all of its sensations, textures and how it responds to different stimuli. Since I'm not working with you 1-1, it's really hard for me to say what it is. A few possibilities for feeling an aching sensation could be 1) toxicity trying to move out and getting stuck where there are still blockages or not enough water to move the toxins through, 2) a reaction to the fascia release, where your fascia or muscles tensed up to fight what was happening, or 3) your body might be perceiving an imbalance front to back, for example if the front of your neck is tighter than the back then you might feel achy in the back of your neck as your body tries to tense up to keep your head from falling forward where the tissues are tightest.
@@ElishaCeleste Thank you! I felt better by later in the day. The front being tight also makes sense. I’m pretty out of balance and have lots of tightness. Thanks to your videos I made an appointment with a local myofascial therapist. I’m also working through some of your other videos and finding them so helpful.
I actually don't know a ton about glymphatics, I need to learn more! This routine just sort of happened, and then I wanted to know why my body did what it did. Do you have a resource you like for learning about this?
So as weird as it sounds you can go into a discount store like target or a used equipment place like play it again sports and actually try out the rollers. I have found good ones at marshalls but i actually give them a try in the store just a suggestion
Hi Carrie - yeah, the Om Roller is definitely more of an investment. For this particular routine I would recommend one of the softer rollers. Here are some good options (the first two are shorter 18 inch rollers like mine, the last one is a longer roller): amzn.to/3qxY7wm amzn.to/3hkxnLv amzn.to/3h2r9kI

I tried for 2 nights and my sleep improved. I woke up for a pee break and manage to go back to sleep quicker than I usually do. Thanks Elisha!
I love that you take your body's input first and then figure out why she asked for that. I have been doing same since i decided to take command of my health for myself. My body knows and understands EVERYTHING she needs. All bodies do.
YES. All bodies do! So happy you're listening to your body 💛
Yes if you just trust the body it will show the way to its own healing ..we just need to remind us
Love this, just what i need. How often should one perform this practice? Daily before bed or just evening?
I've been having issues with sleep as well. gonna try this tonight.

@@ElishaCeleste Thanks for taking the time to write your thoughtful reply.
I was falling asleep just by watching ..
Thanks! I'm going to add this in some form to my nightly routine :)
Awesome, would love to hear how it feels for you or if it improves your sleep ☺️
Thank you. I look forward to adding this to my nightly ritual.
That was great! I did this and the hip flexor one and WOW! Thank you for doing what you do!
Glad you liked this one!
Thank you just what I was looking for. Lovely. Immediately subscribed
Sorry for the off topic question, but I always love your leggings! Do you get a specific brand? Thanks for another great video!

What sort of roller do you recommend? The one you have for this routine looks really interesting!

Omroller is hard to find in UK. Could you recommend an alternative please?
maybe it was the still point effect? (neuro cranial sacral therapy)
I was falling asleep just by watching ..
Wow! That was wonderful. Thank you!
Elisha, I filled a pet with water and I covered her with a sock and made these cervical movements. it was fantastic! I was at home and my roller is in the office. I really wanted to try it... and it worked... thanks.😉😘
Love the ingenuity! And happy to hear it worked for you too! 🥰
Hmm bit tough on my old back? Needed pillow for first half
Hi Sally - glad you listened to your body 😊 Maybe your back could use some mobility/blood flow. Maybe this could help over time!
Another awesome video..thank u
Dimensions of roller.
That was great and felt great on my neck. Never thought about using a foam roller this way
Glad you tried this and learned a new way to use a foam roller 😃
I am so thankful I found you. Thank you for sharing
Yay! Glad you're here.
Much Obliged, going to sleep now.....zzzzzzz
Yay 😴☺️

The Glymphatic stuffs!!!

Love your content😊
Thanks Amy, love having you here in the community!
Love this. Self massage!
Yesss ☺️
Got rid of a knot in my back. Thanks!
Thank you!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I’d say the roller is a bit cost prohibitive. Any less expensive ones that are good?
