The Recapitulator, a massage tool for healing and recapitulation.

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Recapitulation is the art of recapturing lost energy stored in the muscles of the body from thoughts and feelings of past events, to relieve physical muscular stress or injury, a natural healing process. Self Re-examination.

Recapitulation is a core Toltec technique used to heal emotional charges. On a deeper level, it is used to reclaim energy and return it to self. Recapitulation was first introduced into mass consciousness by Carlos Castaneda in his book,  The Eagles Gift, published in 1982.

More information on this subject can be found at the Toltec Nagual site.  An excerpt from this site : Systematic recapitulation decharges emotions and frees one up to perceive the world clearly. Recapitulation releases negative emotions that are trapped in one’s subconscious freeing up their life. Many people have a habitually negative emotional state, or are moody for reasons they do not know why. More times than not, the reason lies in the suppressed emotional charges that lie in their subconscious.

Recapitulator, a massage tool used to bring attention to the memory and location of trapped energy to remove stress from the body thereby healing any area of distress upon re-examination, definition of recapitulation. We recapitulate to find out ‘the cause’ or base of our problem, discomfort or pain. The reason why we are not living in bliss because some bodily cry for help or emotion has grabbed your attention. Well, here is a simple way to fix those painful areas. Massage with the recapitulator massage tool. Sounds too simple right? Well you are already a healer that has perhaps not tried these techniques for peace of mind as well as a masterful massager to bring the attention and focus on what may be causing our pain.

It can be spontaniously revealed what the actual problem is underneath your manifested pain. you see your body wants the attention to let you know that something is haywire, there fore pain. Wake up your memories of your great self healing capabilities. You don’t have to study or read, just press where it hurts. Get quiet, slow deep breathing helps and there will be times when you will recall how that pain originated.That gives you the perfect opportunity to think that over again, recapitulate and change the affect it has made on your life.

For instance, i was massaging a place around my ankle and wondered why it hurt there. In a few seconds i remembered when i was 16 i sprained my ankle and i was afraid to walk on it normally as it created tremendous pain. So i walked at a sort of angle where by it would not hurt so bad, And believe it or not, to this day over 40 years later, the ankle sprain had healed (so i thought) and i was still walking crooked on that foot all this time. So once i re thought or recapitulated that and realized i would no longer feel that excruciating pain if i straightened that foot up and walk right. So i massage for about a 1/2 hour and worked out all the kinks that were still traumitized and voila, was so much better, i could not believe i stayed in pain so long. Actually i didn’t even know i was in pain with every step before i massaged it. We ignore so much. Now’s a good time to pay attention to ourseleves and what is going on inside.

I bet it has something to do with some of my back pain. One thing leads to another. You can check out more at http://www.nuhealth.org

We can heal ourselves, it doesn’t take long. We just have to move forward, try it here and there throughtout your day. You will begin to look forward to any moment you have that will help you feel better and is unlimited in possibilities moving in a direction of natural health and self healing. Use a massage tool or not. We can do alot for ourselves.

Happy Healing!

Back & Neck Pain? check out this massage tool, the recapitulator

Thursday, May 6th, 2010
Dear David and all who have neck and back aches,
 
I understand your dilemma, 10 years ago i had such a pain in the neck the doctors said “nothing much we can do at this point other then give you something for the pain” and said when it gets back enough (they called it ‘degenerative spine’ disease), wait and then we can operate. Well,
 
That was the first time in my 47+ years that i felt so helpless, and started searching for another way to fix my neck and lower back problems. I did something i bet we all naturally do. I grabbed those muscles that hurt the most, the ones that really get your attention and squeezed as hard as i could.
 
I noticed that when i pressed on those stiff painful muscles down my neck and shoulders, or in back at the pelvis hip areas of the most pain I noticed there was somewhat of an improvement, found a bit of relief from that pounding constant pain restricting every movement and even when i wasn’t moving. the more i worked those muscles the better i felt.
 
After pressing really deep & by working those rigid lumps and bumps and places that feel like a steel cable, squeezing, pressing deep and moving back and forth or just staying still pressing as hard as you can for as long as you can comfortably, (you can actually feel where your muscles are out of whack and need work) i could move my head a little easier.
The muscles along the spine at the neck were so distraught they felt like bone and i really had to press much harder in those areas to get those muscles to wake up again. Quickly found the more you work on it the better it feels, the more relaxed you and your body becomes. Continue to follow where the pain leads you next, chances are it’s connected.
 
Stress had caused these muscles to seize up resulting in seized up tight muscles and very painful. Discovered while doing this bodywork that the neck aches were from an emotional trauma i was going through at the time (those kind of things happening in your outside world can really make your head hang low, not in harmony) and my lower back was a physical problem of lifting things too heavy for my body weigh and injuring the muscles there in the lower back.

I know for a fact i am describing common ailments many people may have. I can only say there are a few things you can do to heal and recover from these natural disasters.  the only relief i have ever found that was the Recapitulator. Easy to use, allows you to press as hard and for as long as you like and it’s lasting effects because you actually break down the tight muscles so they can release and relax and nutrients and blood flow can once again go their normal course.

It’s a no brainer. No more tight muscles, no more pain.

I checked out all kinds of natural pain relief as with herbs & other natural combinations of things, i checked out acupuncture etc, asked everyone i could and there are many excellent healers out there to help you. but i didn’t have much money. So, most of these wonderful massages or medicines to help were out of my reach and the medicinal items did not have enough umph to stop my pain for good. The topical applications only work temporarily and I wanted to get to the bottom of it and be rid of this awkward pain for good.

 

I went out every couple of weeks looking for the right massage tool and bought a bunch of different massage tools, all shapes and sizes. Yes they all helped but many were tiresome to hold or nearly impossible to use where i needed this body work at that time.  I tried some electric devices and decided to forget about any that were electric because all the vibration didn’t feel that good to me and in the back of my mind thinking that somehow the electric current was messing with my body’s electric system. Then i found the ultimate massage tool and started using a body tool called the Recapitulator.

This tool is especially good for the hard to reach areas like the back and neck. it’s simplistic design will work for ANY part of your whole body whether you want to work the surface muscles or deep deep within the body. The best part about it i found is that you don’t have to hold this massage tool. You don’t have to physically use one set of muscles to heal another set as you do when holding a tool and pressing with your physical power.

This tool is genius because, think about it, you just have to lean into the knob ends, or lay onto whether your front side or back side. What could be easier, the board gives you plenty of support and you can work for hours without getting tired. even do bodywork while doing something else. Easy to work on your back while sitting in your chair or couch watching tv or at your computer. See how to use massage tool videos here.

I tell you those muscles are so darn tight sometimes it takes days or months to recover from these muscles maladies. This recapitulator massage tool has changed my life and i am very thankful to have this information and opportunity to heal myself. It empowers you and you no longer feel like a victim but have gained knowledge and now you can pass it on to someone who really wants to hear it, that’s what i like most about learning new things.  You already know the answers, you just have to awaken your memory. You will find healing yourself comes to you naturally.

There are many massage tools on the market but with this one you don’t have to hold or exert energy to do your body work, you lay on or lean into and the tool does the rest. The cost is $34.95 plus shipping and is well worth it, you will not have to look for another tool to do all the jobs this recapitulator can do for you. I even use this on my wrists for carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.

I can offer much in the way of experience, tell me where you need to work, what the problem is and we can go from there. I have set up the included different extensions and knobs in at least 20 different ways that make it comfortable and easy to work each specific area of concern.  You have so many choices with 10 attachments included. Also comes with a user guide with photos. You can order a couple of extra tool base boards and make many tools with the attachments included. Call them for more info 800.551.8394 PST

I’m not really selling the tool here, i want you to know you DO have the power within you to change how you feel to the ideal, to bliss. There may be alot of letting go to do, but no time like the present, chances are it will not go away by itself. You can check out an ancient legend showing how different body areas hold different feelings, it’s amazingly correct. See more NuHealth info.

Very Sweet! Happy Healing, hope this helps.

Pain is your body crying out for help, your attention, telling you where to look and will tell you how to fix, try it. You can do this for yourself easily.

In the meantime you can grab those tight muscles with your hand and squeeze or press deeply, this will help relax, the tool makes it easier with lots less effort.

Take a deep breath once in awhile throughout your day and think or say out loud, “i feel calm and relaxed, i am calm and relaxed” this helps remind us.

Did you hurt your back? Turn your office chair into a massage tool

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Massage tools are wonderful. The other day i once again lifted a box that was way too heavy for me considering my body size. Ouch!! My lower back and hips are in extreme pain with every movement. Thank goodness i have a recapitulator this is the only massage tool that suits all my needs and is solid to use comfortably and effectively in so many easy to learn applications.

For instance, today i have to do alot of computer work, so i turned my office chair into a massage tool. I work on all the sore areas of my back usually consisting of neck, all around the shoulder, middle of the back above the kidneys, and of course my most painful is around my pelvis area. So i use the medium bolt and the larger knob (attached at the end or middle of the board), turn the board sideways into the back of my chair and lean back. Ahhhh!!

I found that by applying pressure to the place that hurts will relieve the buildup of energy there or to any given area. When i strained my lower back muscle, the injury immediately swelled up in that area and when i ran my hand across my lower back it was quite lumpy, bumpy and painful in the areas that mainly had those lumps and bumps that weren’t supposed to be there for a normal, healthy back.

So by having the recapitulator in the back of my chair all i have to do is lean back a bit, use a little more push at times, stretch it out a bit anything to induce the muscle to move and relax. We love our bodies and we can feel better by loving ourselves enough to trying a self massage ourselves instead of doing without this fantastic relief that will also strengthen you simply by ‘pressing where it hurts’.

In those moments when waiting for a page to load, thinking about this or that, wondering what to do next, i massage with my recapitulator. A great way to make the most of your time, your body will thank you and you will feel better much faster.

I find that by using the recapitulator massage tool shortens my down time or painful experiences to a fraction of recovery time and is a easy way to massage your self thoroughly and efficiently. Using more or less pressure as the time demands, adjusting to another nearby area or the other side of your body as balance does have alot to do with it. Massaging yourself, getting all those troublesome knotted areas out to be smooth and supple muscles once more and continue with working too, now in a more relaxed manner getting better as the time goes by, instead of continuing to work with this pain and it actually getting more stressed.

The same massage tool setting can work for your middle and upper back, neck and shoulders too. I often get pinched muscles around my should blades from the stress and i relieve it easily with this recapitulator tool.

I choose this tool over others i have tried in over 20 years of bodywork and i like this recapitulator best because there is not electrical pulse and you don’t have to hold it to use. It has a good strong base design that can be used on virtually all parts of the body, a very solid and versatile tool.

You just lean into, lay onto, roll onto or sit or rest a body part on the chosen knob end size and that’s it. If you roll a little further or cross your leg over the other to add extra weight to the area being pressed on the effects are quicker to responding and i find more satisfaction in relieving and moving on to another area, a bit ruthless is action at times. Be serious about relieving that painful tight problem muscle and this tool can help.

Sure we can go to a masseuse or body worker but like my lower back the muscles are so tight it feels like bone and it will take alot of energy and pressure to continually sustain enough pressure there to effectively reduce the swelling, tight muscles and pain. So when i can i use my tool, it works wonders.

More information on a new way to more awareness of how our body works can be found at www.nuhealth.org the connection between mind and body. Your body will talk to you!

A good explanation of massage therapy can be found at the medical dictionary

and has this to say:
“Definition
Massage therapy is the scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of normalizing those tissues and consists of manual techniques that include applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, and/or causing movement of or to the body.
Purpose
Generally, massage is known to affect the circulation of blood and the flow of blood and lymph, reduce muscular tension or flaccidity, affect the nervous system through stimulation or sedation, and enhance tissue healing. These effects provide a number of benefits:

* reduction of muscle tension and stiffness
* relief of muscle spasms
* greater flexibility and range of motion
* increase of the ease and efficiency of movement
* relief of stress and aide of relaxation
* promotion of deeper and easier breathing
* improvement of the circulation of blood and movement of lymph
* relief of tension-related conditions, such as headaches and eyestrain
* promotion of faster healing of soft tissue injuries, such as pulled muscles and sprained ligaments, and reduction in pain and swelling related to such injuries
* reduction in the formation of excessive scar tissue following soft tissue injuries
* enhancement in the health and nourishment of skin
* improvement in posture through changing tension patterns that affect posture
* reduction in stress and an excellent stress management tool
* creation of a feeling of well-being
* reduction in levels of anxiety
* increase in awareness of the mind-body connection
* promotion of a relaxed state of mental awareness”
And goes on to give more info on origins etc. Lots of info on the web.
Start pressing your wrists, fingers, toes, arms, legs any place and most likely you will find in a short time, a stressed area, keep pressing, work on it and the muscles WILL RELAX and go back to normal, as intended.

I can answer questions, ask away!! Happy Healing!!

When you can’t find someone to give you a Tuina massage, use the recapitulator.

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Tuina is a form of Chinese manipulative therapy often used in conjunction with acupuncture, moxibustion, fire cupping, Chinese herbalism, tai chi and qigong. A general definition can be found at Wikipedia or by searching for more info online.

You can also search videos to watch this method in action. It looks wonderful and the philosophy behind it dates back to the 1700′s. This basic knowledge is ancient and is used by many means and healing practices of many names.

When there’s no way to get someone else to massage you, use the recapitulator massage tool to relax and press where it hurts. This induces tight muscles to loosen up and stimulate back to a healthy state by applying pressure to to the problem areas or muscles. you can get in touch with yourself, your total being and find out what’s ailing you to get satisfaction immediately. You already have what is takes, now all you have to do is apply. Begin, and continue. You can massage yourself anytime when you can’t find someone to give you a Tui na massage.

Muscle manipulation is the key in bringing attention to and relaxing any stressed muscle. Most often tight, stiff, injured muscles and surrounding areas cause pain and restrictions bringing discomforts or limited movements, plus all the psychological effects it brings, putting a damper on your whole life, being and wellness. We want to prevent problems and to correct the ones we may have. Awareness and practicing methods of relaxation is a good start for a healthy long life.

According to BalanceFlow Health and Bodyworks, they say that “those who’ve experienced both Acupressure and Shiatsu, a Tui Na session may seem like a cross between the two”. They go on to say that, “To a Westerner, TuiNa is the form of Asian bodywork most closely resembling conventional western massage.”

Nothing beats the human touch OR having a massage any style. But when you can’t afford that or even if in between your professional massage sessions, this Recapitulator massage tool will work wonders for you any time day or night and can help you with your ailments and proceed on the road to a healthy body. By pressing ‘where it hurts’ will simultaneously bring about a recapitulating experience of what has actually caused our problem to begin with. A rethinking of our old thoughts, fears and habits as we make room for the updated version of who we are today, what we have come to learn.and how we can correct what ever is not working properly.

Our daily intake of nutrients is important too. Do your research, eat more wholesome foods, use more raw vegetables in your traditional salads. Use all those wonderful natural herbs out there and that are easy to grow in general. There are many ways to increase your nutrition. If you have particular symptoms, search natural remedies for that and you will open a new door of Ah Ha’s. and will soon find out what you need for more balance. Your body needs specific nutrients to work with to function and for all parts to do the job intended..

We also want to be as care free as possible so we will have to work for it, being of this stressful world we live in. By staying in touch with how you feel in your body and working to correct any maladies you may run across in your lifetime. Manipulating the muscles and increasing the energy flow is easy to do with the recapitulator.. A self massage tool designed for body work on your entire body.

The Recapitulator is built to last, versatile with a variety of choice of attachments for different depth penetration and pressure assistance. Some muscles are close to the bone or near the skin surface and the shortest or medium upright if perfect and with this setting can work most all body areas easily, Some muscles are deep within the body structure, some with more fleshy areas like the stomach, therefore the longest upright may be the ideal choice for that area.

The deeper you have to go within the body structure, the longer the upright you choose so you can use less energy to achieve the desired amount of pressure, basically. to help relax those uptight muscles. One choice may work better or easier using a lesser amount of effort. Our body weight and gravity do the work for us with the recapitulator’s unique and simple design giving you a good solid base with which to work successfully while remaining comfortable and often going along and doing what you would be doing anyway, like TV, computer work. Put it in the back of your chair of sofa and lean back into it, Oh, that’s so good! Your stressed muscles will be to improve immediately and continue as long as needed to heal that troubled area, or to find out what is causing this grief. Once you remove the cause the symptom goes away. Fixed, eradicated, and on to the next troublesome point of interest..

All we have to do is lay back onto the tool, sit on it, roll over onto, or lean into. And hold the pressure there, as heavily or light as you wish and breathe into it for awhile, Holding the pressure in a location for as long as you can and then moving on to a nearby outlying or connected area. I can be massaging my arm and i can feel a change in my back, so there are connections we are not even aware of as yet.

To properly reach all these places, there are 3 sizes of uprights and 2 different size knob ends. One knob end can pinpoint with precision closer to the center of the cause of your pain and the other size diffuses the pressure a bit giving it a wider working area. A choice is always good. You are not limited to the knob end, a variety are available at your hardware store, you choose.

So, when you are sitting at your computer, at the office, riding in a car, sitting in a beautiful place, while watching TV, reading a book, you can grab your recapitulator tool and get rid of painful blockages one at a time, easily at your convenience. It won’t help you just sitting there, but the more you use, the more you will discover all the bodily benefits of being pain and stress free.

I have used many different styles of body tools and this one works the best for me. It has more range than any other tools we ran across in over 20 years of research and you don’t have to plug it in or hold it to apply pressure.

If you already have a massage tool you like, use it. Use whatever is within reach to work on your muscles as much as possible. You will always feel better than when you started and will often be AMAZED!

PS. If you have alot of nervousness, use the recapitulator on your whole stomach area, We carry our desires and fears there and most often some thought has created our physical problems. Breathe and relax, out with the old, in with the new.

More food for thought can be found at www.NuHealth.org

Top Massage Tool for the Ergonomic Workplace

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

You don’t have to spend a fortune to keep your staff comfortable at work. Giving workers an incentive, a perk, a means to remove stress or pain caused by stress while in the workplace will help them contribute their best to the company and will undoubtedly boost productivity. Our suggestion for the ergonomic workplace and for employers who understand and care about human needs is the recapitulator massage tool. Patented for utility and design.

No matter what the job description you can provide your employees with a massage tool to overcome the usual body aches and pains that slow down alertness, enthusiasm and productiveness.

The recapitulator massage tool is versatile, durable and inexpensive. It’s simple design can be incorporated in a variety of ways. Most helpful in working on sore muscles with many causes or repetitious work related motions. A Cash register, office, warehouse worker, server, anyone who is active in any manner can benefit by using this tool to relax tired, stiff, or injured muscles.

An excellent choice to aid in relaxing back, neck, leg, arm and hand muscles that may seize up, cause pain when in use, or to dissipate problems for folks who are tense from stressful situations or for those who are injured in a physical manner while on the job.

You can supply a few of these tools for each department or would make a nice bonus gift to all and encourage people to use them.

Provide ergonomic workstation equipment. Make sure that you have extra office tools that employees can use when needed.

You can hand out flyers to show how this massage tool can be most useful. Keep a few massagers in the break or lunch room.

Set up a consultation speaker to talk to your crew once a month. Have a few yoga mats or the like available so people can use the tool laying down if necessary to work out tight back, legs, shoulder or stomach and chest muscles to name a few.

This tool can be used while sitting in an office chair, we all here in our office have a tool in the back of our chairs to lean into relieving much of the back and neck ache issues from long hours sitting in one place, or to place on desk or in lap to work hands and arms, or on the floor to massage the feet.

Even if a employee slept wrong and got up with a kink in the neck or elsewhere, this tool will help in a speedier recovery and perhaps avoid any missed days of work. Will in most cases shorten time off due to a injury or muscular problem by working on the muscle or joint until the pain goes away. Handy & Portable, you may want to allow them to take one home so they can work on themselves while resting at home on the couch or in bed.

For employees that have hand problems like a carpal tunnel syndrome you can have the tools adjustable uprights set in a certain formation for that specific ailment. Improves circulation and eventually should remove the painful stress limiting their movements and slowing down their accomplishments at work. Invite their input to resolve and elicit help to show others to increase team spirit.

We suggest the Recapitulator massage tool for Healthy, Happy and Productive Employees AND for your self and family as well.
