Releasing throat & jaw tension. BioDynamic Breath & Trauma Release session demo with Giten Tonkov.
Summary
TLDRThis script explores techniques to unlock tension in the throat and jaw, which can block emotional expression. It discusses the impact of suppressed emotions on physical health, such as sore throats, and guides viewers through exercises to release this tension, including breathing and vocalization, ultimately aiming to enhance the resonance and depth of the voice.
Takeaways
- 🌟 The throat and jaw are key areas where energy and expression can become blocked due to tension.
- 🔒 There are two specific areas in the throat that can lock up and prevent the outward expression of energy: one below the chin and another lower in the throat.
- 🤔 The inability to express oneself freely can lead to physical symptoms like a sore throat, which is often overlooked as a result of emotional suppression.
- 🎭 Techniques are explored to unlock the jaw and throat to release tension and allow for more natural expression.
- 👄 The mouth plays a crucial role in expressing energy, often through sound, growls, or words, and can become a point of blockage if energy does not flow freely.
- 😖 Emotional suppression, such as not speaking up when one wants to, can lead to physical discomfort like a sore throat.
- 🔍 The session involves deep breathing and activation of the constriction to create space for opening up the blocked areas.
- 👁️ Encouraging participants to connect with their body, especially the jaw and throat, is a key step in identifying and addressing tension.
- 🗣️ Making sound and expressing oneself is crucial, even if it involves fear of rejection or not being loved, as these fears often underlie the interruption of self-expression.
- 🤐 The use of a physical object, like a napkin, in the session helps to activate and release the jaw's tension through biting and pulling actions.
- 💪 The release of tension can lead to a powerful feeling of self-preservation and the emergence of a fighting spirit, as well as the activation of the body's fight or flight response.
Q & A
What is the main focus of the session described in the transcript?
-The main focus of the session is to work with the throat and jaw areas to release tension and unlock the flow of energy and expression.
Why is it important to revisit the 'belts of tension' when working with people?
-Revisiting the 'belts of tension' is important because they often prevent spontaneous expression by tightening up, and addressing these areas can help release the blockages in energy flow.
What are the two areas in the throat that can lock up and block the expression of energy?
-The two areas in the throat that can lock up are just below the chin and a bit lower in the throat, acting as defense mechanisms or 'diaphragms' against the outflow of expression.
How does the jaw play a role in the expression of energy?
-The jaw is another level where energy can be blocked. If energy makes it through the throat, it still needs to come out through the mouth, often in the form of sound, growls, or words.
What is the significance of making sound during the session?
-Making sound is significant because it helps to activate the constriction and create space for opening up, allowing the release of pent-up energy and emotions.
What is the role of the napkin in the session described?
-The napkin is used as a tool to help the participant bite down and resist a pulling force, which can help release tension in the jaw and throat and bring emotions to the surface.
Why is it important to allow the gagging reflex during the session?
-Allowing the gagging reflex is important because it starts to release the constriction that has been holding in the throat and jaw, facilitating the release of trapped energy.
What does the instructor mean by 'fight or flight' in the context of the session?
-The 'fight or flight' refers to the body's natural response to perceived threats, which in this context is the activation of the body's self-preservation mechanisms, such as kicking or struggling against the tension.
How does the instructor encourage the participant to stay present and awake during the session?
-The instructor encourages the participant to stay present by focusing on their breath, noticing the movements in their body, and allowing themselves to experience the tremoring or shaking as a release of the nervous system.
What is the purpose of the muscle work on the back of the neck and the SCM muscle?
-The purpose of the muscle work is to unlock the tension in these areas, which can contribute to the overall release of constriction in the throat and jaw, allowing for more open and resonant expression.
How does the session aim to help the participant find their inner strength and resilience?
-The session aims to help the participant find their inner strength by encouraging them to resist, express, and release their emotions and tension, leading to a sense of empowerment and self-preservation.
Outlines
🔓 Unlocking Emotional Constriction in the Throat and Jaw
This paragraph discusses the concept of energy getting trapped in the throat and jaw, which can lead to tension and even physical discomfort like a sore throat. The speaker emphasizes the importance of revisiting areas of tension and identifies two specific spots in the throat where energy can become blocked. The session involves exploring these blocks, expressing emotions, and using sound as a means to release tension. The participant, Claire, shares her experience of soreness in her throat and jaw, indicating the beginning of an emotional release.
🌪 Emotional Release Through Breathing and Physical Expression
The focus of this paragraph is on using deep, connected breathing to address emotional tension in the throat and jaw. The participant is guided to pay attention to the sensations of tightness and soreness, and to use these as a gateway to explore underlying emotions. The process involves a physical exercise with a napkin, where the participant bites down and then resists pulling it away, which helps to bring anger and frustration to the surface. The session also includes allowing natural reflexes like gagging, as part of the release process, and encourages body movements that arise during this emotional exploration.
🤼♀️ Engaging the Body's Self-Preservation Mechanisms
This paragraph delves into the physical manifestations of the body's fight or flight response during emotional release. The participant experiences a muscle activation in the neck, which is identified as a source of tension. The session involves physical manipulation and pressure to release this tension, along with encouragement to move and express through actions like kicking. The participant's narrative includes feelings of power, fear, and the emergence of humor, indicating a complex emotional response to the process.
🎶 Enhancing Voice Resonance Through Throat Relaxation
The final paragraph highlights the relationship between throat relaxation and voice resonance. As the throat opens up, the voice is described as becoming more vibrant, deep, and resonant. The participant reflects on feeling powerful and competitive during the session, and there is a discussion about the body's self-preservation mechanisms. The session concludes with an emphasis on staying present and awake to one's experience, allowing for a full emotional and physical release.

Highlights
The throat and jaw are critical areas where energy gets trapped, and these areas will be focused on during the session.
Tension in the throat can prevent spontaneous expression by tightening up, requiring repeated work on these tension belts.
There are two main areas in the throat where the outward expression of energy can lock up: just below the chin and a bit lower in the throat.
The jaw is another level where energy can get stuck, often leading to sound or growls being trapped, causing tension and sometimes a sore throat.
Releasing the tension in the throat and jaw often requires activating the constriction through sound and expression to create space for opening.
Fear of rejection or not being loved are common reasons for interrupting expressions, leading to tension in the throat and jaw.
Connecting with the body, especially the jaw and throat, helps in identifying and addressing the areas of blockage.
Making sounds and allowing gagging reflexes during the session helps release the constriction in the throat, jaw, and stomach.
Techniques like biting onto a napkin and resisting its pull can help express and release anger and frustration.
Emotional charge is often connected with physical tension, and addressing one can help release the other.
Using the charging breath technique can help wake up and energize the body, facilitating the release of tension.
Kicking and physical movements during the session can help release fight or flight responses stored in the body.
Tremoring and shaking are natural responses of the nervous system releasing tension.
Staying present and awake during the session helps fully experience and release stored emotions and tension.
Opening the throat improves the resonance and vibrancy of the voice, making it deeper and more resonant.
Transcripts
[Music]
this is pretty much the area in our body
where the when the Energy starts to come
up it's it's the narrow area where where
it gets
trapped so the
throat and the
jaw these are the two areas we're going
to work with
today what happens is usually the belt
of tension above the oneand that we're
working with tries to prevent the
spontaneous expression by tightening up
again so that's why it's important
always when we work with people to keep
coming back to the belts of tension that
you worked with before
in the throat there's two areas where
the the sound or the the outward
expression of energy can lock up one is
right here just below the
chin and one is just a bit below this
area right here in the throat so it's
kind of like two diaphragms that that
are in the throat that that are are
areas of
Defense yeah the the the locks that keep
blocking the the out outflow of
expression of
energy the next level is your jaw so
even if the energy does make it
through your throat is one more level
that is your mouth this actually has to
come out through your
mouth a lot of the times it comes in the
form of
sound a lot of the times it comes in the
form of growl or
words so any form of sound that gets
stuck in the throat creates this tension
and that's why we explored this in the
morning and you're sharing your memory
of the first experience where you felt
that your Expressions been interrupted
and I'm sure you found that a lot of the
times it results in the tightness in the
throat or even sore throat you want to
say something and you don't and you keep
it in you end up with a sore throat the
next day then you wonder why oh my
throat hurts most of the time we don't
make the connection
but the stock stockness of energy in the
body absolutely creates some kind of
result
so we will work today with a few
techniques to help you unlock the jaw so
let's see for you Claire what do you
feel
is happening in your throat and your
jaw yeah my throat is sore right my
throat sore right here and my JW is L
it's tight but it's less tight from the
L
M okay so already some opening started
to happen yeah okay so let's explore how
we can take this opening
deeper usually when
we try to open up the
constriction we need to activate this
constriction to create the space for
opening it is important to make sound it
is important to say to express and a lot
of the times we don't do it for the fear
of being rejected for the fear of not
being
loved this is the main reason that we
stop that we interrupt so let's Express
let's explore sorry what you've been
holding in your throat and your
jaw so for now I want you to close your
eyes for a moment and connect with your
body
connect especially with the area around
your jaw and your
throat yeah like we said there's
two areas where it can be blocked it's
either here right below the
chin and just a little bit lower in the
throat and already as I as I pointed out
on Claire's body and I and I talk about
it you could see feel that his emotions
start to come for
her you can let yourself feel
clear but I want you to bring your
attention now to the tightness in your
throat the soreness that you mentioned
before and also to the tightness that
might be living in your
jaw take a deep full
breath
so the emotional charge right away
connected with with the tension there or
the tension rather connected with the
emotional charge as soon as we brought
our attention to
it the emotion came to the
surface so let's explore this in the
session let's see what can come up
during the session yeah you can open
your eyes for a
moment we will use this uh
napkin and in the session you will start
first us to
breathe and then I'll ask you to B onto
it then I pull and you hold
on notice what happens for you that this
anger and frustration starts to come
forward so be something like this it's
important that when I pull you make
sound and you hold on to te and
something like
this and
then sometimes what happens this gagging
reflex comes and when we do this we want
to
to release something gagging so it's
important that you allow yourself to do
that because this is starts to release
all the constriction that been holding
in the
Thro in the jaw and also in stomach area
stomach contracts on to give
something
so we'll use
this and the same time allow whatever
happens through your
body allow it to release the movement I
would love for you to bring your knees
up and plant your heels into the
mattress so for now you can start with a
deep full connected breathing yeah with
your mouth and I want you to relax your
your jaw that you're not blowing air out
actively you're just allowing it to flow
a little more
open
but start to breathe a little more
charging not like you're trying to fall
asleep yeah it's we want to wake up we
want to bring the breath flowing so you
can charge your body with energy yes
just like that
great open your jaw and now bite onto
the napkin really bite bite into it bite

here where oh a or it might be like yes
now the kicking motion comes let
yourself explore
this let yourself kick down

here muscle called stero ploid
SCM this is the muscle right right
here so I I pinch it
between
my two
fingers this is what brought up for her
this off yeah this expression in
the throat this starts to unlock all the
tension that we carry
here
again I invite you to go into charg
breath and at the same time I work with
the back of the
neck the
belun all the
through
yes and again I want to go in with
pinching this part of the
NE move your jaw

it yeah watch that you're going into
this movement and then you collapse
again I want you to continue with it
yes yes great
kick
this is a fight or flight that wants to
come out of the body we activated it I
want I would say this is enough for her
so now I want to Resource
her through my touch just
relax
[Music]
yeah fully breathe
in
down back lay down
back take a deep full breath into your
belly notice yeah some movement in the
spine that wants to happen give it give
it chance let it happen yeah she
mentioned before the somebody was trying
to strangle all this trapped in there
yeah hellow
hello yeah notice how it feels in your
body
notice and you see this tremoring yeah
this is a effect of the nervous system
releasing the sh
it's great that this
happens so in your sessions when you
notice that the tremoring comes shaking
this is a
[Music]
release Slow Down slow down you can stay
stay present to your experience CLE as
much as
possible yeah and allow this tremoring
to
arise just
allow
I want
to ask you to start to come

with that thing in my mouth like there's
no way you're going to beat me like my
competitive side came in like you're not

backward roll
and and locking your head head and
breaking your neck my

feel make you feel
powerful yeah yeah I could have beaten
you
great like a little fighter came in me
mhm

sick my
jaw
angry but you
don't touch me like
great self-preservation mechanism is
there yeah really strong you won't beat
me great this is what we're looking for
yeah right you don't collapse in
it so there's some opening happen in the
throat when the throat becomes open
there's more
resonance our throat is a resonating
chamber for our
voice so when the throat relaxes The
Voice becomes more
vibrant becomes deeper becomes more it
