During massage I often observe a situation: the body gradually turns on, the pelvis begins to move, the stomach breathes, the chest also moves, and above…
And above – spasmodically clenched jaws. So clenched that you can see the jaw muscles trembling from tension. So clenched that the teeth grind. The need to clench the jaws so much so as not to make a single sound.
In such a situation, I ask for the impossible:
"YAWN. Relax your jaws and yawn with your mouth wide open."
And I demonstrate with sound how to do it.
Some people succeed. Some categorically refuse and intensely shake their heads in denial, without even trying to try. Someone says that they immediately remember their mother with her favorite phrase: shut your mouth.
Very often, such behavior is laid in early childhood, and then in school years: in order for adults to love them and consider them “good”, children must be quiet. It is forbidden to scream, it is forbidden to cry, it is forbidden to laugh loudly. Children remember this prohibition and then in adult life they cannot make a sound even during sex.
The jaws are one of Wilhelm Reich’s muscle tension belts.
Gradually, over several sessions, the girl slowly and smoothly learns to relax her jaw. She relaxed it – the energy freely went higher. Soon the stage of emotions will begin – tears.
In the photo - a monument to stress, created by Cuban artist Yoan Capote: multi-ton concrete blocks press from above on metal casts of real teeth.
Other details of the massage are described in the online course about yoni massage.
