Most of us have memories of life events - some bringing joy, some life-changing, and still others we would rather forget. Each of those life events has an energy that can store anywhere in the body, including the spine and nervous system, especially when it did not feel safe to experience at the time. That stored energy converts into tone, vibration and tension. The cerebral cortex - the part of the brain with which we observe our self, experience higher thought, awareness and consciousness - disconnects from that energy as if to say “I never want to feel that again.”

This puts the nervous system in fight-or-flight mode, locking in tension patterns that distort the spine and posture. When the spinal cord is under tension, the tone and vibration of each cell is altered, interfering with cellular communication and energy flow. » Read more: Discover the Transformation in an Awakened Spine
