How Do Muscular Armoring Effect Us?
Q: Do muscular armorings affect us though the
subconscious, or how do they affect us?
RK: They’re blocks to
consciousness. We have body muscle memory closely associated to brain
neurologic memory. And the two can work in conjunction with one another to
have an influence, both positive and negative. Mostly, we’re concerned about
the negative things that come from so-called muscular armoring, and that’s a
protective device to make us more tolerable to ourselves. Guilts and fears
are very frequently encapsulated in muscular armorings. And therapists who
can break through those muscular armorings will dredge up a whole bunch of
stuff from one’s memory.
Q: Such as through craniosacral work and that kind of
thing, as well?
RK: Well, you don’t have
to have muscular armorings for craniosacral to work. But I guess it can be
useful to some extent in that regard. But I’ve gone through Radix, as well as
quite a few other people here, and it’s astonishing the mental images that do
come up when somebody is forcefully kneading your muscles. I guess my primary
response to all of that stuff was astonishment that it would work that way.
But again, Radix does not seem to be a cure-all. Mentation on your own part
is the best thing in the world for overcoming your problems, but Radix is a
key. It just opens certain doors for you, but you have to go through that
door and change yourself on the basis of the information that comes up from
your own subconscious. (08-2001)
