Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my back/shoulders still feel "heavy" after I put down the bags?
This is The Body Remembering What It Carried. This is "Phasing Memory." Your nervous system is still sending the "load-bearing" signals to your muscles. Naming this prevents you from thinking you are "permanently damaged." It is just a "sensory delay." By acknowledging the load you did carry, you help the body "update" to the fact that the weight is now gone, allowing the integration to complete.
How do I help my body "forget" the load?
Use "Contrast Awareness." Intentionally notice how "light" your hands or shoulders are compared to five minutes ago. In the Meaning Density Model™, we use "comparative data" to break old loops. By highlighting the difference between "then" and "now," you provide the "update" the integrator needs to shut down the "carry-mode" signals and return to a "rest-mode" architecture.
