MER Introductory Workshop

With a MER session the metabolism picks up again and oxygen, nutrients and energy can circulate freely through the tissues.
What is the workshop about?
- Topics: Trauma
MER is deep tissue massage and bodywork, working with the myo- (muscles) and fascia (connective tissue). A session can also include breath-work, joint-release, assisted stretches and emotional work. Fascia is present throughout your whole body. Muscles, bones and organs are all surrounded by connective tissue. It gives your body shape, structure, strength and flexibility. If the tissue gets sticky, stiffens, shortens or thickens it limits range of movement, reduces metabolism and changes the posture and functions in the body. The result is chronic pain, fatigue, lethargy and lack of life energy (depression).
Through working with deep sensitive touch, breath and movement we release cramped muscles and connective tissue. We help the client make the connection between physical and emotional holding patterns and get awareness on the negative beliefs, habits and behaviour causing the spasms.
The effects are diverse. Body pain decreases, posture improves and you become less tense in body and mind. This allows you to better manage your own energy and your emotions, making you less vulnerable to stress, anxiety and depression.
With a MER session the metabolism picks up again and oxygen, nutrients and energy can circulate freely through the tissues. Your immune system gets a boost, you will feel that you are more flexible and you can enjoy more freedom of movement. Deep tissue massage also stimulates the release of endorphins, the natural painkiller of the body.
In this workshop you will explore:
- Get a chance to feel what deep touch can do for you.
- Enjoy a relaxed and healing learning environment.
- Meet other people interested in bodywork and personal growth.
- Experience the atmosphere in the beautiful growth centre Osho Risk.
