I just came back from MER Trauma Release training, and I’m still landing.
And I can’t believe that it started with my own MER sessions. For years I had episodes of restless legs, along with aches I’d simply learned to carry. MER released them. My body softened and let go, and I felt it, not just understood it. (This is my own experience, and every body is different.) and that’s why I wanted to learn it properly, and why I joined the training. Just a week before, I’d had two teeth extracted, and my jaw was tight and guarded. During the training, that tension began to release too. 🤍
And that’s the part I care about most. I’ve spent a long time in the world of understanding, I could name my patterns and explain my emotions. But there’s a moment when the knowing finally drops from the head into the body, and that’s when things really begin to move. Chinese Medicine has described this for centuries. Emotions aren’t only “in the mind.” Each one travels through the body, connected with an organ and its Qi. When a feeling isn’t felt, it doesn’t vanish. Qi stagnates, tension settles into the tissues and facia, and the body starts to speak through tightness, restlessness, or pain. Frustration and held-back anger belong to the Wood element and the Liver, which keeps Qi and the tendons flowing freely. No wonder restless legs and unspoken feelings so often travel together.
I’ve already been working with breathwork for some time, and MER fits beautifully alongside it. Breath opens the door and helps feelings rise. MER meets them in the tissues and helps them release. Together they support the same movement: from understanding to feeling.
Deep bodywork. Emotional release. A real understanding of how everything connects. Body, mind and spirit as one.
I’m so grateful for this new piece, and for how it deepens the work I already do. If you’re someone who “gets it” but can’t quite feel it yet, I’d love to walk with you. 🌿
