At the end of the 19th century, Viennese doctor Josef Breuer developed the “cathartic method” while treating a patient with mental problems.
This is a method of conversational therapy, with the help of which the patient recalled a traumatic event and violently expressed the emotions associated with it – hysteria, tears, snot, screams.
This emotional way of dealing with internal trauma was called abreaction.
Over time, this theory developed and was transformed by various specialists in the field of psychotherapy and body therapy.
In the 20th century, one of these specialists, Stanislav Grof, experimented with psychedelics in therapy for a long time. When this was banned, he moved on to studying the same states using breathing.
He came to the conclusion that traumas are stored not only in the head, consciousness and subconscious, but are also packed in the body. In the form of tension in muscles, ligaments, fascia.
And he proposed a method of working with the body using breathing – holotropic breathing. A special type of deep breathing that temporarily changes the body’s biochemistry and causes many interesting processes in the body.
At the first stage, these processes can be expressed in twisting of the arms and legs in strange unnatural positions – carpopedal spasms. If you breathe through them for several sessions – the spasms go away.
If yoni massage is done as a body practice – one of these two reactions occurs: emotional catharsis or spasms.
According to my observations:
- the less a girl works with herself and her body – the more likely it is that there will be spasms.
- the more the body is worked out, the softer all the muscles are – the more likely it is that there will be emotional catharsis.
These two reactions almost never occur simultaneously. Either strong twisting, or strong tears.
With regular massage, several stages occur during different sessions:
- spasms;
- emotions;
- mental awareness;
- pleasure.
Not immediately. Gradually. Slowly and smoothly.
Other details of the massage are described in the online course about yoni massage.
