Wow, I was led to this post through Alice Sanvito, who likned to it in a massage forum. It so happens that I am reading the book Incognito right now. Fortuitous timing! Love the book and yes, I agree that the best massages are when we know enough cognitively that it is ingrained into our subconscious and we can let the CEO rest while trusting the subconscious.I've been trying to put a personal experience into this concept. I often get various emotional or visionary kickbacks while giving a massage. I also listen to the tissues and don't really know why I know things, but it very often correlates positively for the client.I'm now thinking that this is a way that my subconscious is encoding information. I've also learned Subtle Muscle Testing where a light brush or tap of touch can detect a weak muscle section. Heck, I can look at people and see where they are weak. I'm wondering if functional gait and postural analysis can have aspects of this chicken sexing too. People can learn to be chicken sexers by having someone confirm or deny their determinations for some time; after a while, they absorb how to do it. For me, learning to subtle muscle test and do functional gait analysis has components of that. With practice and confirmations, I learned what to look for and how to see 3 dimensional movement and muscular weakness.
