  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)
