The TMJ Connection - What your Jaw is Trying to Tell You

About This Event

A 3 hour immersive experience in awareness, release and reconnection.

Uncover the hidden language of your jaw in this deeply restorative and eye-opening journey of discovery and unlock the secrets that your jaw has been holding.

Most of us think of the jaw purely as a physical aspect of our mouth and our face - something that clicks, tightens, grinds or hurts. But, what if your jaw is doing far more than that?

What if its holding patterns of stress, unprocessed emotions, unspoken words and protective tension that your body hasn't yet found a way to release?

In this intimate workshop - limited to just 6 participants, you'll be gently guided to explore the powerful connection between the jaw, the nervous system and your emotional and energetic wellbeing.

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

We will start by exploring the fascinating role of the jaw and the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) as a key meeting point between the mind, body and nervous system.

You'll learn how:

• Chronic stress & overwhelm can show up as tension, clenching and grinding.
• The jaw plays a role in your body's fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses
• Unexpressed emotions, such as anger and fear, or holding back your truth, can become stored physically in the jaw
• Your jaw tension can influence - and be influenced by - your energy levels and your sense of safety in the body.

This is about listening to the jaw and becoming aware of its patterns.

A GUIDED JOURNEY INTO RELEASE & REGULATION

This workshop is designed to be experiential, not just informational.

You will be led through a series of gentle, effective practices to help you:

• Release tension stored in the jaw, face, head, neck & shoulders
• Regulate your nervous system and shift out of chronic stress
• Increase awareness of your body's signals and patterns
• Reconnect with a sense of softness, ease and inner safety

You will leave with tools you can return to again and again in your daily life.

We will close our time together with a gentle, guided jaw-focused relaxation meditation. This is your opportunity to fully let go, allowing the muscles of the face and jaw to soften, the nervous system to settle and the body to integrate what we have done together.

A SMALL PERSONALISED EXPERIENCE
