A cohort with whom I work has a retrognathic lower jaw, alias recessed chin. This malformation has givin him a nasty TMJ problem causing him severe discomfort, not to mention our cringing every time he opened his jaw, and we heard it crack from 10 feet away. I had treated his tendonitis in his elbow from injury sustained during his weightlifting, and he asked me whether anything could be done to help his jaw pain. He could barely open his mouth to eat. 30 minutes later, he had the 'deer in a headlight look' and was painfree. (When working on the head, it is extremely important to let the client settle for a bit before allowing him to jump to stand. Did he listen???? No. It was fun watching him try to rationalize his experience and gain his equilibrioum.)

Absolutely amazing!

Joanne,
Did you use the tripod or the sandwich techniques and did you send energy to just the jaw joint or other places?

Thank you. I'm always interested in where and how the energy was sent.

I was at a family party in the weekend we had the Video Workshop in Rio de Janeiro.
Sudenly I saw Nadia, who was taking the Workshop, working on a cousins jaw. She is using brackets(? that thing made of metal to allign the teeth) and felt terrible pain on her jaw. She was beegging her father to take her home.
I joined Nadia, she was tripoding, sandwich.
Nadia was doing QT for 3 minutes, we did together 10 minutes more, Nadia asked and she said it was ok, no more pain. But it was not. It was ok with her mouth shut, but as soon as she talked it hurt. Nadia was gone, so I did 10 minutes more. After that she said the pain was gone. Later she said we saved her night, instead of going home she was going to another party...
About the question, we sent energy only to the jaw.

In addition to tripod placement at the TMJ, I used Amplified Resonance technique. While I was seated at the top of the client,I gently placed my hands on the ridges of the lower jaw and 'pulled' towards the top of the head for a few seconds. Then I "tractioned" down towards his feet (simulating the yawn). I did not displace the jaw in any way. I just entered into the 'normal' jaw movement, running energy, to relax the muscles around the TMJ.

Joanne, Wilson:
Thanks for sharing the techniques, it gives me an idea of how to work on my own TMJ. Blessings and energy.
