MYOFASCIAL MERIDIAN MASSAGE
in ALJEZUR
MYOFASCIAL MERIDIAN MASSAGE works with THE physical and energetic body, allowing you to shed heavy weights of physical and emotional pain
Embedded within each of us are the imprints of memories, wounds, and past traumas—not confined solely to the realms of the mind but intricately etched into the cellular memory of our bodies. Our bodies contain profound wisdom, preserving a comprehensive record of everything that has happened and continues to unfold in our lives. Moreover, our bodies serve as reservoirs, holding the answers and clarity for our healing.
The very term "emotion" finds its roots in the Latin "emovere," meaning to move out, which holds a fundamental truth: the path to a fulfilled life necessitates the liberation of our emotions from the confines of our physical being. Only by allowing our emotions to gracefully move out, can we truly embark on a journey towards a richer, more harmonious existence.
Bodywork brings more into the light of awareness
of what is happening in the living, interactive body. Transitioning from the abstract and cognitive processing of feelings and emotions to an embodied experience is transformative. The closer our connection to and relationship with the present moment, the greater our ability to navigate, adapt, address, release, process, and genuinely feel it. This shift takes us from perceiving ourselves as mere recipients of life's events to actively participating in the unfolding narrative, a profound sense of empowerment.
As we cultivate this shift, our responsiveness blossoms, overshadowing reactive tendencies. This transformation brings forth a heightened sense of ease and clarity, permeating every facet of our lives.

WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL MERIDIAN MASSAGE?
Rooted in the Anatomy Trains model by Tom Myers, drawing inspiration from Ida Rolf's Rolfing and Structural Integration techniques, this method seamlessly merges the strengths of Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Thus, emerges a potent approach, tailored for alleviating pain, facilitating trauma recovery, and promoting emotional and energetic release. Myofascial Meridian Massage intricately combines myofascial release techniques with deep tissue work, acupressure, and trigger point therapy. Slowly and profound in detail, I methodically navigate areas of tension and trigger points, applying sustained pressure as needed, allowing the gradual release of tension.
Myofascial Meridian Massage operates on the foundational belief that the body is intricately connected through 12 myofascial sheets, meaning that misalignment or tension in one area can be expressed and felt in any other part of the body. This interconnectedness implies that the root cause of an issue might lie in an asymptomatic part of the body where pain is not actively felt. Drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture, Meridians represent the bioenergetic pathways that traverse the body, facilitating the flow and release of Qi, the vital life force energy. Conceptualized as the primary rivers or transport channels within our body, Meridians play a pivotal role in maintaining balance.
As we alleviate pressures from the fascial system, energy flows gracefully, robustly, and harmoniously. The alignment of Meridians and various myofascial sheets is crucial. At times, the fascia can impede the proper conduction of energy along the meridians, leading to pain or physiological dysfunction.
Meticulously applying deep and deliberate pressure along these lines can induce a release comparable to clearing a blocked pipe. This release may manifest in various forms such as shaking, crying, screaming, laughing, or experiencing tingling sensations or cramps in the body. These expressions signify healthy and natural releases of suppressed emotions, memories, and pain.
YOUR HEaLING REQUIRES YOUR ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
Engage actively in the treatment by incorporating mindful breathing—breathe in deeply through your nose and exhale fully through your mouth. This rhythmic practice gently guides you into a meditative state, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, fostering a surrender to the present moment and allowing the release of that which no longer serves you.
a holistic approach to healing by working with the body, mind and soul
During our consultation, we can delve into the current themes in your life, exploring relevant experiences, memories, and beliefs. Through a blend of breathwork, massage, stretches, and energy work, we encourage the mind to take a step back, allowing the body and breath to express itself. This process can - but does not have to - lead to emotional releases, tingling sensations in the extremities, and body shaking.
As you surrender to the realm of mind-heart coherence, it's not uncommon to receive intuitive messages, insights, and memories that offer profound clarity on the issues you currently face. Following the bodywork session, we seamlessly transition into aftercare, discussing the experiences that surfaced for you and any messages I may have received. This closing phase aims to leave you with a sense of integration.
It's worth noting that multiple sessions may be needed to effectively release pain and tension or achieve a profound sense of release, clarity, and integration. This approach allows the body the necessary time to surrender, open up, and access the state of mind-heart coherence.

VICKY:
“Dear Zerina, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this healing session!
I felt reborn afterwards. It was like every cell in my body was being regenerated and I carried that feeling with me for days! My body hasn't felt so soft and supple for a long time, even though I practice yoga regularly.
You are so sensitive and precise and I can feel that you are there with all your presence and strength during the massage. I think that's exactly why so much was able to opened up at an emotional level. I was surprised at how many unconscious emotions I had! And I'm infinitely grateful that they could now come to the surface through this one massage to be felt and let go.
The healing space you create is unique. You really are a strong healer! I will definitely be back and I recommend you from the bottom of my heart.”
FAQs

While massage is a form of bodywork, bodywork goes beyond massage and is part of a larger holistic umbrella that encompasses other forms of herbal and energy therapy and breathwork.
-
It depends, but on average expect it to take 90 - 120min. Make an effort to have time to yourself before and after the treatment, as the healing can already start beforehand and continues sometimes for days after the session.

This treatment is designed for those prepared to confront their shadows, as only by bringing these aspects into consciousness can one attain release. The healing journey follows a non-linear path, often lacking immediate comfort.
Entering a "healing crisis" post-session is a common occurrence, marked by a temporary intensification of symptoms. This phase is intricately tied to your body's detoxification process, presenting as headaches, jaw discomfort, skin issues, mood fluctuations, anxiety, digestive challenges, sleep disturbances, and/or heightened emotional experiences. These manifestations indicate your body's release of toxicity and its active healing.
Yet, it's important to note that these symptoms typically endure for only a few days, requiring the space and time necessary for their manifestation and the subsequent cleansing of your body. This allows you to transition into a new state of being more fluidly.
