Lynn Waldrop - Access Consciousness BARS

There are 32 bars of energy that run through and around your head.
They store the electromagnetic component of all the thoughts, ideas,
attitudes, decisions and beliefs that you have ever had about anything.
There are Bars for healing, body, control, awareness, creativity, power,
aging, sex and money; just to name a few. Each thought, idea, attitude,
decision or belief that you have fixed in place solidifies the energy and
limits your capacity to be generative in that area and to have something
different show up in your life with ease.

Dr. Camden Clay

Enhance your position as a muscle expert! Learn how to find weak muscles and make them strong within your scope of practice! Subtle Muscle Testing is a muscle palpation technique which quickly discovers subtle variations in muscle tone, between strong and weak parts of muscles. Strong muscles palpate firm, while weak muscles palpate less firm. This skill allows the Massage Therapist to focus his or her massage techniques where clients need them most, on weak parts of muscles! Most people, even athletes have significant weaknesses in their muscles. These muscles are not weak because the person needs more exercise. These muscles are weak most often because of disruptions in the movement of blood, lymph, cerebral spinal fluid, and/or nerve conduction. It is all about making space within the connective tissue! Making weak muscles strong clinically validates your Massage Therapy procedures. Your clients will be amazed! This course also focuses on teaching clients how to maintain improvement of muscle strength with self-help stretching and self-help massage techniques.

Total Matrix Integration Systems: Enter the Matrix

Do you want to facilitate more healing for your clients and use less energy?

Do you want to have a better understanding of how energy/force is transferred through the musculoskeletal system?

Do you want to learn better biomechanics to extend your longevity as a therapist?

Total Matrix Integration is about learning how to energetically balance yourself as you impact multiple systems via fascial manipulation. You will learn how to transfer force from your fingertips all the way down to your toes and then how to transfer that force from the ground back up into your client. This will make you a conduit for force transference and help you to conserve your own energy. You will also learn how to feel energy/force transfer through your clients' bodies to quickly and effectively locate their blocked biomechanics. Once you are able to feel how force is moving through your client's body, you will be able to apply massage techniques that facilitate proper function. This class will teach you the most advanced applications of biomechanics combining thousands of years of knowledge from the martial arts with the most modern understanding of kinetic chains. You will become more clinically intuitive than you imagined possible!
