Waking Up With Intense TMJ Pain

I received a text message from a woman saying that she woke up with severe, debilitating pain in her TMJ jaw.

I saw here earlier today. I began by working on the left TMJ. 

I immediately get this 'inner message' telling me that the cause is from having repeated, irritating incidents at work, that ends up causing her to have this jaw pain. That they are little annoyances to her that eventually build up to having major physical pain in body.

What was happening, as I explained this to her, was that she had these desires to speak up during the minor conflicts at work, but she stops herself from speaking up and voicing her thoughts, and this is what is causing her repeated irritants that builds to jaw pain.

She stops herself from speaking out so her TMJ gets knotted up, becuase she is also at the same time, wanting or attempting to, move and open her mouth to speak- hence causing these TMJ knots of conflict. Her subconscious mind won't let her open her mouth, at the same time her subconscious mind wants to open her mouth, literally...whch is causing physical ailments in her body (the TMJ).

Not allowing herself to speak up was based on this inner belief of her's that talking would get her in trouble.

I then explained to her that the next time there is a conflict at work, to put herself as coming from a place of respect to her boss as she speaks up- providing information that could possibly be a solution, or helpful information, for the company. 

This is all given from her as she speaks, in a place of humbleness and respect , from her heart- with not having any need to control the outcome of their talk.  With her coming from a place of being neutral, not trying to control the results in any direction whatsoever. 

Doing this will satisfy the need for her to speak up, and to also provide insight for her boss. It can be a win-win solution.

If her boss does not accept or appreciate her information, that's on him/her- and not in my clients control and so be it.

The Universe will handle the results of the talk in the highest and best way for all involved (and will do so in such a great way that was not expected). 

She can't get in trouble for speaking up, I tell her, because she was coming from a place of respect and insightfulness, without wanting to control, have approval, or safety.

By speaking up, she gets to move her mouth and TMJ, so it's no longer conflicting her body and mind.

The right side was where she had felt the pain.  Working on the left side- I felt tenacious, deep knots in the TMJ and mouth. As I released it, we could both feel the left side of face, TMJ, and inner mouth expanding, elongating, loosening- as the fascia released itself. 

The right side tightness and pain was related to the tight right side of neck, chest, TMJ, and armpit. The TMJ was pulling at the chest...as I helped released the chest armpit area- she could feel the TMJ loosening.

After we were finished she felt openness and no pain. She said she didn't realize that the the TMJ was effecting her neck, until I started releasing the right neck area.

These knots work in layers like an onion, and further visits are suggested to help eliminate the deeper planted restrictions.
