Life is a rhythm. When we listen to music and the musician misses a beat or plays off key, we feel a sensation of incompleteness. Something is lost, the tune failed to take us smoothly to the next point. We feel uneasy. Rhythm is repetitive and continuous in a wave like motion and facilitates the dance of life! A wave is defined by Webster as: a periodic disturbance of the particles of a substance that may be propagated without net movement of the particle such as the passage of undulating motion, heat, or sound.

Picture the water at the beach: a wave. As I explore the literature behind the principles that I practice in the John Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release, I run across some things that just leap out at me in an ‘ah ha’ moment.
One occurred today as I read this on Wiki: Mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Baron Fourier in his Fourier Synthesis of periodic wave forms is a theory that any periodic function, no matter how trivial or complex can be expressed in terms of a converging series of combinations of sines and or cosines, know as Fourier series. A sine wave is like a bell curve one up, one down, matching each other in amplitude. What follows was my ‘ah ha’ moment.
Not having a continuous sinus rhythm of our personal vibration creates a gap in the fluidity of this wave. This disconnect causes a leaking of energy, a loss of power, and an inadvertent artificial substitute wave similar to the ego, or what I call the “Life Mask”. This mask is an attempt to provide continuity to the wave but gets it “oh so wrong”. An internal struggle is created in the effort to PRODUCE the missing piece. In it’s attempt to fill in the gap in an attempt to protect us, Ego instead manifests a whole OTHER alternate version of the one originally intended.
WHAT IS THE ANSWER?
Find the missing piece and limit the ability of what John calls ‘channel 5’ to reproduce what you THINK it should be. When what is missing is found usually in ‘channel 3’, ALLOW it to be just what it is, the piece of continuity that produces the wholeness that IS you. JFB MFR is how we find the missing pieces of our selves that must be returned in order to achieve the harmonious vibration of our original essence.
Perhaps these gaps in our natural vibrational rhythm occur along the still points, exact positions in space where we have dissociated from our existence in order to avoid emotional pain, physical trauma, or judgement. To get at our core, our authentic self, we must return to these states of stillness where the trauma originally occurred and fill the gap with the missing information. For more on still points, please read my blog post:
Mind Body Complex: Are You Dissociated?
When I observe someone going through the freeze response, it reminds me of the mind body’s struggle with the long time held trapped emotions coming out in repetitive waves, ripples, and energetic discharges. Trapped energy is freed from the structural restriction to reestablish the waves fluid continuity and return our personal rhythm to one of completion without substitution or discontinuity in that vibrational sinus wave. We have to be very brave to put down the mask, peel away the layers and risk the uncertainty that lies beneath.
1. We may not know what it looks like.
2. We may not like what we see.
3. It may not even be close to the substitution the Ego has created.
If we are going to be authentic, in order to be the love and light that we are, we have to be willing to allow our natural state of being. Our originality is the key to our health, vitality, love, and service. We can neither love nor serve others if we hate ourselves, or identify with a FALSE self and love it. This Life Mask that we wear for protection, is not us. It is an illusion. When all the pieces are in place, the illusion crumbles and we have a seat in our authenticity, we have our power, and we are love in action.
“This work is authentic and worthy of more than a judgement. A comparison to other approaches is absurd. It is its own, unique method. No facet is so impressive as the one radiating its own brilliant hue, vibrating alone, yet oscillating in an encounter of resonance creating holographic bliss where consciousness breathes, expanding sure sensations that complete fractured oneness.” ~ Dawnne Nance, PT
