[@AngeloMaster-h4f]

Video without the music is fantastic and yes I have hoped you do more of this going forward. Thank you!!! ❤

[@lisad1993]

Agreed ❤❤

[@athenajezik8972]

I've seen some requests for a video without music, so let me know what you think. Thank you for all of your kind words and prayers through my recovery process. Some of you have asked how you can help: gofund.me/987a652f

[@daviesbrandon]

The music good. ❤

[@Naïve_lawfulness]

I typically like it more with the music, but this is fine too! Your voice is so soothing.

[@paisleyprince5280]

I appreciate the natural asmr experience, so many other creators make a decent video visually then overload the ears with the normally backround noise.

[@Ovprksdnw]

I suggest alternating "without music" and "with music" videos to cater to different viewers' preferences

[@athenajezik8972]

That is a good idea.

[@deedeedodee5168]

I love this video with no music so much better !

[@latashaogletree6962]

My condolences to Athena family I didn't know she passed away. I feel so sad many nights she made me fall asleep took stress away

[@stephanieconsi4825]

Always prefer your voice to any music.. can’t say that about many therapists. You are amazing Athena!!

[@kalieadams24]

I love love love hearing what you’re feeling in the muscle and where you’re feeling it connect!

[@cgould3]

Me too!!

[@kl7726]

Enjoyed this video very much. I love hearing your observations during the massage. Your voice is very comforting and relaxing.

[@rover5788]

Thank you Athena and Corrina! Love your videos!❤

[@velvetw23]

Her voice is wayyyy better than the music!

[@vanessagoodau7800]

I watch her videos to learn, but sometimes just to relax 😌

[@SusanaFreyre-m6q]

Me too!

[@daviesbrandon]

Doing great Athena ❤

[@yu8ym]

Your voice is definitely better than music. Love listening to you! Relaxing, pure, knowledgeable! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@lorigarza9971]

This is what I need to have done. I have a ton of pain and problems with neck and shoulder pain. I have been getting adjustments for years. I have had a rib subluxation, and it is painful. When i first learned about asmr, your videos were the first ones I found and I have been watching ever since. Been several years. I have sleeping issues and these really help with relaxing to go to sleep and stress ect. Love your work. You explain so well and give such good advice and life advice. I hope your surgery went well and you heal quickly. Thank you for the videos Athena.

[@athenajezik8972]

Having a CBR :(cranial base release) may help although there's so much more light pressure that would make a difference. I wish I could help you with my work. Thank you for the comment. I'm honored that I could help you throughout the years...

Thank you for this video ❤

[@tomnick5787]

You are so knowledgable!

[@athenajezik8972]

Thank you.....

[@YolitaB54]

Hello. I have watched your videos for many years. I rarely make comments or ask questions. But with your knowledge of the body and muscles and etc. I would like to ask you about an issue I have been having with my left side shoulder and neck and even my upper back on that side. It is stiff and a knot is on my shoulder will just stretching and getting adjustments be all I need to get relief?

[@athenajezik8972]

Thank you for the question. Stretching is a good thing to do, however there are several muscles that are involved. Often with this sort of issue, there is some unwinding that has to take place. Adjustments can help, however if your muscles have a winding going on that sort of thing is usually quick and with more pressure to get to the root of the issue. I'll attempt to explain to you how to unwind some of those muscles. Start with the neck. Move it into the direction of ease, where there is little to no pain. Then move into the direction of barrier or where it feels uncomfortable. When you get to the 'pain' point then stop. Wait until you feel like the fascia moving beneath your fingers. Stay very light with your touch. Allow the neck to guide you. Follow that tissue allowing the head to lead the way. Sometimes it will also move down into the shoulder as well. Overall I hope this makes some sense to you.

[@YolitaB54]

@@athenajezik8972 It does make sense I will try this thank you

[@athenajezik8972]

Give that a try. You can also place your fingers (lightly) on a point of discomfort and as the fascia leads follow that. You may find the 'knot' or tension point will change. Also, when moving your neck (and other parts) be aware of posture and give an 'inner' stretch to that movement. See if you can stretch the muscles origin to insertion. As the neck moves remember if the shoulder wants also to move, let it lead you in how it also wants to reposition itself. If you have any questions in the future, please ask.

[@YolitaB54]

@@athenajezik8972 Thank you

[@jodyjean]

Very lovely

[@stephenperkins5644]

First off I hope you are doing well with your legs . Second I do prefer your videos without music they are very relaxing keep them coming 😉

[@athenajezik8972]

I'll let Corrina know. Thank you.

[@user-sh8kc4kz2h]

This looks so light that if it was me i wont feel anything

[@stuff1784]

I struggle SO MUCH with my upper middle back with the scapula like this! The cricks in my back from stress is horrible.

[@athenajezik8972]

Getting a good cranio/sacral treatment then some muscle work may remedy this a lot.

[@LeeYingYing-gj5xp]

Hello Athena, you remind me of Dr Isabelle Moser, who wrote the book "be your own doctor." I have been learning from your videos for about a week now and have benefitted from it. I would like to purchase your course on "The Foundations of Subtle Alignment" However I am concerned that after making payment, I may not receive the course materials as I have sent an email to you and left a message in the chat box, but got no response. Could you confirm the lesson is still valid and will be sent to me via email after payment?

[@athenajezik8972]

I haven't been to the chat box since my injury so thank you for asking. This is a good way to get my attention or with the email that is posted on my website (which needs some work on it as well). The course you will receive. If there should be any glitches I will give you Corrina's contact and she will correct any issues that may occur. There's a lot about learning CST in that course as well. We're also working on more instructional videos. Thank you for your patience as I am almost able to walk again so I have been working hard to get my legs back after my injury.

[@LeeYingYing-gj5xp]

I bought the course today and received the materials successfully. Looking forward to learning and hope the money will be of good help to you during this time of need, as you have been so dedicated to helping others in your life.

[@athenajezik8972]

Great!!! if you have any questions send an email and if need be we can do a 30 minute skype. I want you to learn this. Email me and I'll send you the manuel... Don't let anyone else have it. In the future the manual will be sold... I want you to have it. I wrote the manuel and it's about CST and light touch work. Very comprehensive.

[@daviesbrandon]

Glute, thigh, iliotibial, gastrocnemius. Lower work with this attention and care would be greatly appreciated. Love your content Athena, God bless ❤

[@athenajezik8972]

It is time for some of that. I am able to stand now for short times, still can't walk, so this part of the body I was unable to film. I should be able to film next time we do videotaping.

[@Stephygraffe91]

Vous avez toujours vos mains de fée et franchement si je pouvais me faire masser je sais que vous pourriez me soulager de plusieurs maux. Merci encore de vos explications. Le jour que vous venez en France je viendrais vous voir. Merci !

[@athenajezik8972]

Merci pour les mots gentils. Peut-être que dans les jours à venir je pourrai voyager. Il y en a d’autres qui aimeraient que je puisse visiter leur pays. Ce serait merveilleux si cela pouvait arriver.

[@claytonmcbroom]

Same I love it without the music
