Feeling the Soft Tissue Response - 2
While you are making the gentle squeeze and release motion with your testing hand you will be placing your opposite or free hand on a number of positions on the head. Placing the opposite hand on one of the positions on the head should produce an increase in density of the soft tissue you are feeling with your testing hand.
A good place to start is the forehead. If you do not feel and immediate thickening or increase in density under your testing hand, move the opposite hand to another position, let's say, the jaw. You can also try the ears, the eyes, the sides of the head, the back of the neck. Get it?
Again, one of these positions should cause a change in the resilience of the soft tissue under your testing hand. Be persistent.
When you feel a change in density of the soft tissue you are feeling the reaction of your body as it enters into a heightened energy state. Your body is telling you in a very direct way that it likes the way you are touching your head. To receive the benefit of this hold your free hand in a very relaxed way at that position on the head until you feel no more soft tissue response. The body should enter into a state of deep rest. Feels good, doesn't it?
The most common mistake new people make is to try too hard and use too much pressure with the testing hand. If you are not feeling some kind of result be gentler.
