Origins & Essence of Dearmouring

Essence: The essence of Dearmouring is surrendering to god and removing everything between you and the higher great spirit. In every system of spiritual development, you reach a moment of letting you. You must let go of these blockages within your body to align the energy within you. It's about more than just the technique a practitioner uses. It's about the embodied understanding of how to open a body and surrender deeper. The account of other training and paths you need to take is crucial. Exploring different methods, practices, and personal development tools to grow and expand your container is vital. By extending your container to hold space in a session for upcoming trauma, working with re-parenting or the inner child, or working with sexual energy, your actual client trusts you enough to let go and surrender fully.

Origins: Different cultures and systems are using several dearmouring methods already. 

The Katusha native American system provided a well-established design and techniques as well as the Maori and Polynesian culture, which is very different. 

Trumpeting: One technique the Maori call "Trumpeting" activates with a precise pressing of the air through a very narrow channel of your mouth lips directly on the clitoris of an energetically closed and frigid woman. One shaman would use that technique like playing trumpet, maybe even two, because the one has to stop getting tired. It can go up to 45 minutes until the woman is completely gone.

When a young man enters the manhood stage: a beautiful woman dances in a very erotic and sexually arousing way in front of that young man, teasing him fully. During that process, a shaman inserts a wooden stick inside the stick of the young fellow. By doing so, they break that cord and association that a beautiful woman means sexual lust.

Vipassana: Vipassana means to see clearly - to see what is possible when you give yourself time and space for meditation. It's a deep cleaning method. Your thinking process slows down over time, brings to the surface, and dissolves deep-seated complexes and tensions by withdrawing your attention inwards. Through awareness of the breath, you can watch, without getting involved, as your mind's dramas slow down over time. As a result, you gain clarity, and your consciousness broadens on a broader spectrum.

Christian Mysticism uses the practice of the holy breath: "Christian mystics" focus on the power from within rather than being based around a higher power, focuses. The Holy "Spirit" is more prominent in this branch of Christianity. "Spirit" in Latin means breath. In Greek, they used the word pneuma, which also means breath. In Hebrew, the word for breath is ruach. The Holy Spirit, in reality, is the Holy Breath. That means Yeshua offered a concrete practice of breathing the Holy Breath of God. (By changing in the new testament the word Holy Spirit for Holy Breath, we will get a better idea of how important this practice is) To bring the brain and the heart into a state of entrainment, to synchronize the brain's electromagnetic field with the heart's electromagnetic field, known as heart/mind coherence, and to dearmour the body.

Shin azana and specific acupuncture methods in traditional Chinese medicine are also a way of dearmouring the body.

Wilhelm Reich termed the word dearmouring. He stated, "Armoring is the condition that results when energy is bound by muscular contraction and does not flow through the body" (Reich:1936). He saw that character armoring existed, which he defined as "the total of typical character attitudes, which an individual develops as a blocking against their emotional excitations, resulting in rigidity in the body, and lack of emotional contact." He defined muscular armoring as "the total of muscular(chronic muscular spasms) which an individual develops as a block against the breakthrough of emotions and organ sensations, particularly anxiety, rage, and sexual excitation" (Reich:1936).1

The individual creates the overall effect of muscular armoring with character armoring. Alexander Lowen, an associate of Reich, best summed up this overall effect as "The character of the individual as manifested in his typical pattern of behavior is also portrayed on the somatic level by the form and movement of the body. The body expression is the somatic view of the typical emotional expression seen on the psychic level as a character. Defenses show up in both dimensions, in the body as muscular armoring. ” (Lowen:1976).1

During the last years, a specific dearmouring training got created.
