What is Myofascial Energetic Release (MER)?

by Satyarthi Peloquin


The Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) is a holistic and transformative bodywork technique created by Satyarthi Peloquin and designed to relieve pain, restore balance, and enhance overall well-being. This unique approach addresses not only physical discomfort but also the emotional, mental, and energetic patterns that may contribute to chronic pain and tension.

The Power of Fascia: A Universe Within

Fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, organ, and nerve in the body, plays a critical role in how we feel and move. Emotional, mental, and physical stress can create tension patterns in the fascia, leading to chronic pain and discomfort. MER works to release these patterns, restoring harmony and mobility.

How Does MER Work?

An MER session integrates seven essential elements to address both the root causes and symptoms of pain:

  1. Touch: A blend of deep tissue work, fascial release, and stretching to release tension and blockages.

  2. Breath: Conscious breathing floods the body with oxygen, helping to release pain and restore vitality.

  3. Meditation: Accessing stillness and presence to activate powerful healing energies.

  4. Movement: Encouraging spontaneous, free movement to restore alignment and balance.

  5. Emotions: Gently uncovering and releasing stored emotional patterns through a conscious process.

  6. Connection: Building trust and awareness to empower self-healing.

  7. Pain Relief: Targeted techniques to release contractions in the soft tissues that cause pain.
