Tension

Sound Number 62

Description of sound

The Tension sounds were created as a part of a set of short yet powerful sounds to address different areas of the body and the issues which may affect those specific areas.

Tension is generally held within our muscles, rather than stress which may affect the whole physical structure,  especially those muscles of the neck shoulders and the jaw. How often when tense do we clench out teeth for example, or grind out teeth of a night.

These gentle sounds release tensions in the whole body, but especially in the neck shoulder and jaw areas. They are suitable for both client and practitioner usage.

How this sound came about

Like the Stress sounds, the Tension sounds came about to create an at home program for clients to release tensions in their bodies. Whilst stresses can affect the body in many ways, tension seems to be especially related to the areas of the muscle structure itself  and  especially those of the neck shoulders and jaw.

Comment from Susan - Stress seems to be the emotion and the physical manifestation of an emotion.  Tension is the physical condition.  Tension is a great one to play if you can feel your shoulders are about to implode with your ears and your teeth are cemented together.  Tension is also an emotion, but with regard to the sounds, tension is very much coming from a physical ‘unlocking’ viewpoint, sort of similar to flexibility in its physical ability to be noticed in the body.
