Oh the Palatines

This week has been a very intense week of energy working
with the Palatine bones. They are located in the back of the throat
 by uvula/tonsil - posterior roof of the mouth, and connect with
the nose and eye socket.   
When restricted sinus pressure, migraines, headaches
and many symptoms of the eyes are signs that the
palatines are involved.  They act as a spacer between
the maxilla and sphenoid. 
Working sensitively in this area is very important.
Energetics of the palatines =  When we have
"had it up to here" and stuffed what we "really want to say"
 it reflects the palatines. 
So watch your breathing and release any pent up
energy in your communication.  This work contacts
the throat soul!

Energy Exercises to help release:  The taoist arch, feet hip width apart, inhale-exhale and reach back, stretching head and neck up and back.  Letting out sound to release stress.  Repeat until relaxed

Acupressure points:  TMJ points also help to relieve irritability and frustration
GB 20 below the base of the head, in hollows.
GB 21 press into shoulder tension.  Bring your head up and back as you
inhale, and exhale as you lower your head downward.  Hold shoulder pts
and continue easy movement while breathing for one minute.

Remember that your blockage took some time to physically manifest.
So it will take a bit of work to clear.  If you feel irritated that is your
TRIGGER that caused this physical manifestation.  Breath it OUT!

Enjoy, Relax and Hydrate

If you are suffering with symptoms please feel free to post, someone
else is probably having same difficulty.  Lets share the healing potential!
Talk to you Soon!

Shoulder Tension

Energy flows through the body in specific pathways.  When these pathways
are blocked due to injury, stressful living, poor nutrition, or lack of movement.
We experience energy blocks as pain and discomfort.   Mental and emotional issues.

 Stand with feet shoulder width apart, or any comfortable pose.
Bend the torso back, looking upward, without excessive strain.

Reach the arms out fully to the front, the sides and behind the lower back. 

Breathe fully, exhaling with a deep sigh, sound.  Inhale and Roll the shoulders and arms forward crossing the arms. 

Exhale and repeat.  Let the sigh, sound come from within.  Repeat until you feel tension release.
