129. The Missing Layer in Healing: Why Chronic Pain Keeps Coming Back No Matter What You Try with Jason van Blerk

WEBVTT

00:00:04.850 --> 00:00:10.535
Welcome to Rooted in Wellness with me, wellness advocate and holistic nutritionist, Mona Sharma.
2
00:00:11.055 --> 00:00:21.243
Together, we will take a journey to discover natural healing practices from imbalance to balance guided by ancient wisdom and modern scientific insights.
3
00:00:22.064 --> 00:00:31.687
I was raised living summers on an ashram, so I learned early on that food is medicine and your kitchen is your greatest source of healthcare and prevention.
4
00:00:32.187 --> 00:00:40.730
After facing two heart surgeries, anxiety, and weight challenges, I discovered that just because your symptoms are common doesn't mean that they are normal.
5
00:00:41.370 --> 00:00:51.293
Together with some incredible guests, we will explore the power of our mind, body, and soul connection, returning to our roots to rediscover our greatest well-being.
6
00:01:01.165 --> 00:01:04.507
Most of us were taught to think of the body as something to fix.
7
00:01:04.967 --> 00:01:07.249
Pain shows up, so we chase the pain.
8
00:01:07.669 --> 00:01:10.070
Stress builds, so we try to calm the mind.
9
00:01:10.470 --> 00:01:13.052
Tension gets louder, so we stretch harder.
10
00:01:13.072 --> 00:01:21.817
A symptom appears, so we look for the next protocol, the next device, the supplement, or even the expert who can finally tell us what's wrong, right?
11
00:01:22.137 --> 00:01:25.039
But what if the body is not the thing working against you?
12
00:01:25.419 --> 00:01:28.421
What if it's been communicating with you the entire time?
13
00:01:29.001 --> 00:01:42.770
In today's episode of Rooted in Wellness, I sit down with my dear friend Jason Van Blurk of Human Garage to talk about fascia, emotional release, human touch, pressure, movement, breath, and the body's innate intelligence.
14
00:01:43.150 --> 00:01:46.172
Jason believes that fascia is not just connective tissue.
15
00:01:46.512 --> 00:01:56.219
It's part of the body's deeper communication system, shaping how we move, hold tension, store emotions, respond to stress, and reconnect with ourselves.
16
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:02.004
And this conversation felt really personal for me because I experienced the work myself.
17
00:02:02.444 --> 00:02:06.268
Something released in my body that I still don't fully have language for.
18
00:02:06.728 --> 00:02:07.969
My posture changed.
19
00:02:08.169 --> 00:02:09.210
My breath changed.
20
00:02:09.371 --> 00:02:14.935
I felt lighter, more open, and closer to a part of myself that I had not felt in years.
21
00:02:15.316 --> 00:02:16.297
His work is profound.
22
00:02:16.717 --> 00:02:32.561
So if you're somebody who feels like you've been doing the work, thinking through the pain, talking through the story, moving your body, eating well, taking the supplements, and still feel like something in your body is not fully released, this episode is an invitation to ask a different question.
23
00:02:33.041 --> 00:02:34.822
What is my body holding?
24
00:02:35.262 --> 00:02:38.203
And what might become possible if I finally listen?
25
00:02:38.623 --> 00:02:39.203
Let's get rooted.
26
00:02:46.745 --> 00:02:48.926
Jason Van Vlert, welcome to Rooted in Wellness.
27
00:02:49.346 --> 00:02:49.666
Thank you.
28
00:02:49.927 --> 00:02:54.629
The intention of this podcast when I first started was to help as many people as humanly possible.
29
00:02:55.129 --> 00:02:59.711
And I feel like when I found you and Human Garage, there was a similar mission.
30
00:03:00.012 --> 00:03:03.073
And then call it divine timing, but then I finally met you.
31
00:03:05.254 --> 00:03:07.875
And I really trust that everything happens in the right time.
32
00:03:07.895 --> 00:03:10.277
So I'm so thrilled that you're going to share this message today.
33
00:03:10.417 --> 00:03:11.037
Thanks for coming.
34
00:03:11.562 --> 00:03:11.882
Thank you.
35
00:03:12.043 --> 00:03:12.463
I'm excited.
36
00:03:12.483 --> 00:03:13.885
Let's do it.
37
00:03:13.905 --> 00:03:20.874
So another part of the intention is to really help people feel more rooted, rooted in themselves, rooted in their health or happiness.
38
00:03:20.914 --> 00:03:25.479
And what I believe is everyone's inherent, like knowing that your body can heal themselves.
39
00:03:26.100 --> 00:03:29.725
Tell me, are there two or three practices every day that help you feel rooted in who you are?
40
00:03:30.485 --> 00:03:37.108
Yeah, funny enough, one that I started very intensely a couple of months ago is walking barefoot.
41
00:03:38.529 --> 00:03:43.032
So I went to barefoot shoes many years ago, but I hadn't gone fully barefoot.
42
00:03:43.712 --> 00:03:44.592
And I didn't experiment.
43
00:03:44.712 --> 00:03:51.156
I walked for about six weeks through London, Switzerland, Bali, all over, through airports, barefoot.
44
00:03:51.476 --> 00:03:52.116
Come on.
45
00:03:52.316 --> 00:03:54.458
And I think it was kind of funny because...
46
00:03:55.378 --> 00:03:59.879
You know, it's very socially different when you're walking barefoot everywhere.
47
00:04:00.399 --> 00:04:02.920
And the one thing that really stopped me from doing it was the chemicals.
48
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:03.500
Yeah.
49
00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:07.781
You know, I'm walking on gasoline and cleaning products and all this stuff on the ground.
50
00:04:08.541 --> 00:04:10.061
And so it stopped me.
51
00:04:10.141 --> 00:04:13.042
But then a friend of mine was doing it and inspired me.
52
00:04:13.582 --> 00:04:16.163
So I decided to go for a couple of weeks.
53
00:04:16.423 --> 00:04:16.883
I did it.
54
00:04:17.843 --> 00:04:21.908
And if I felt better from doing it, then the chemicals didn't matter.
55
00:04:22.268 --> 00:04:24.671
That was my logic around it.
56
00:04:24.731 --> 00:04:25.852
So I did it for a couple of weeks.
57
00:04:26.693 --> 00:04:27.734
My feet started to get bigger.
58
00:04:27.754 --> 00:04:29.195
They started to get wider.
59
00:04:29.215 --> 00:04:30.417
They started to get stronger.
60
00:04:30.437 --> 00:04:31.878
I had more energy.
61
00:04:32.659 --> 00:04:33.920
I even craved going for walks.
62
00:04:33.960 --> 00:04:35.261
I was like, I really want to go for a walk.
63
00:04:35.281 --> 00:04:36.441
I want to put my feet on the ground.
64
00:04:36.481 --> 00:04:45.607
And so as socially awkward and dirty as it could be, you know, such a simple thing, putting our feet on the earth can make such a positive impact on the body.
65
00:04:46.127 --> 00:04:51.470
And that's because we're electromagnetic and the earth is electromagnetic and we sync to the frequency of the earth.
66
00:04:51.530 --> 00:04:59.315
But if I put a soul between us of plastic, you know, I'm not going to get the electricity into my body to help replenish.
67
00:04:59.595 --> 00:04:59.775
Right.
68
00:04:59.875 --> 00:05:02.317
It's like charging your your your phone.
69
00:05:02.798 --> 00:05:02.978
Right.
70
00:05:02.998 --> 00:05:04.499
You plug it into the wall and you charge it.
71
00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:09.584
Well, we should plug into the earth and charge ourselves when we're dealing with EMFs and chemicals and all these things for the day.
72
00:05:09.604 --> 00:05:10.084
And we're not.
73
00:05:10.745 --> 00:05:18.532
So the first thing is really get out into nature and put your put your body on the ground because that's going to remove a lot of electrons that no longer need to be there.
74
00:05:19.092 --> 00:05:20.553
Then, moving the body.
75
00:05:21.373 --> 00:05:25.954
There's many ways that people can move, and some people do Tai Chi or yoga or workout.
76
00:05:26.535 --> 00:05:30.396
The practice that we created in 2020, it targets the fascia.
77
00:05:31.256 --> 00:05:40.139
And I've been doing that for about six years, and my life has transformed as a result of doing that daily, but it unwinds all the tension around your entire body.
78
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:45.481
You release emotions, you reduce stress, more energy, better digestion, whenever I do it.
79
00:05:46.582 --> 00:05:47.302
The third one,
80
00:05:48.972 --> 00:05:49.572
You asked for three?
81
00:05:50.253 --> 00:05:50.513
Yeah.
82
00:05:50.713 --> 00:05:51.514
I know you've got another.
83
00:05:51.534 --> 00:05:52.414
You've got good ones.
84
00:05:52.435 --> 00:05:54.096
So I want to get another one.
85
00:05:54.136 --> 00:05:59.700
So the third practice that I like to do, you know, one that I just started doing recently was meditation.
86
00:06:00.841 --> 00:06:09.027
And I really feel that, you know, the body has four components that we can target when we're working with somebody in the healing space.
87
00:06:09.913 --> 00:06:13.334
The mind, the body, the emotions, and the energetics.
88
00:06:14.154 --> 00:06:19.996
And one of the things that I found is if you work on one of them, but you don't do the others, there's a lag or it doesn't fully sit.
89
00:06:21.156 --> 00:06:25.077
And so, you know, fascial maneuvers is a very holistic practice.
90
00:06:25.097 --> 00:06:26.498
It hits the physical body.
91
00:06:27.538 --> 00:06:28.558
Your emotions come up.
92
00:06:29.019 --> 00:06:31.319
You know, you're saying affirmations in programming language.
93
00:06:31.359 --> 00:06:34.000
So you're rewiring the mental side.
94
00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:36.481
And then there's an energetic component to it.
95
00:06:37.301 --> 00:06:42.786
But meditation for me was kind of detaching from all of this.
96
00:06:43.386 --> 00:06:47.430
You know, you're detaching from your thoughts, from your body, from your emotions, everything.
97
00:06:47.510 --> 00:06:49.592
You go to a complete state of nothingness.
98
00:06:50.072 --> 00:06:52.634
And in that complete state of nothingness, there's a lot of things.
99
00:06:53.335 --> 00:07:01.181
And that's what quantum physics is now saying is this empty space around us is actually fully charged with potential energy that can be utilized for anything that we want.
100
00:07:01.972 --> 00:07:06.498
And so meditation has now been, you know, the next component of what I'm doing.
101
00:07:06.518 --> 00:07:09.081
And I think that they all work hand in hand with each other.
102
00:07:09.742 --> 00:07:10.563
So powerful.
103
00:07:10.903 --> 00:07:17.091
I think what you just described is another part of what I really want our audience to understand is...
104
00:07:17.832 --> 00:07:21.313
We talk so much about integrative health care, but we're not actually practicing it.
105
00:07:22.033 --> 00:07:26.654
And the cool thing with growing up with yoga is that we recognize just different parts of the human body.
106
00:07:27.234 --> 00:07:34.176
And then whenever we go to heal or try to heal or feel better, we're only dealing with one system, which makes no sense.
107
00:07:34.996 --> 00:07:38.137
So when you were walking barefoot, did you ever get sick?
108
00:07:38.577 --> 00:07:38.697
No.
109
00:07:38.917 --> 00:07:39.057
No.
110
00:07:40.590 --> 00:07:45.293
Yeah, I would think, you know, I could see walking through an airport like bleaches and chemical cleaners and stuff like that.
111
00:07:45.313 --> 00:07:46.394
And I'm sure you got a lot of looks.
112
00:07:46.614 --> 00:07:49.756
I think that the earth was pulling it out more than I was getting in.
113
00:07:49.776 --> 00:07:52.238
A hundred percent because you're connecting.
114
00:07:52.358 --> 00:07:58.762
So what I love about that, why I'm kind of hovering on this for a second is we talk about grounding and everyone just says, oh, you walk barefoot to ground.
115
00:07:58.902 --> 00:08:08.329
But we don't think about walking barefoot to connect with source energy and pulling energy up to support our body and functioning its best.
116
00:08:08.629 --> 00:08:08.789
Yeah.
117
00:08:09.189 --> 00:08:10.050
That was very different.
118
00:08:10.310 --> 00:08:12.451
Yeah, the tree huggers had something.
119
00:08:12.631 --> 00:08:13.452
Yeah, they were on a something.
120
00:08:13.492 --> 00:08:19.616
You know, as weird as it was, it's like, you know, the body's an electrical system, meaning that every cell in the body has a charge.
121
00:08:19.836 --> 00:08:23.898
So you're like a healthy cell sits around minus 20, minus 25 millivolts.
122
00:08:24.779 --> 00:08:27.240
And a regenerating new cell is at minus 50.
123
00:08:27.761 --> 00:08:28.741
So these are in the minuses.
124
00:08:29.181 --> 00:08:31.303
But if you go up into plus 30, that's cancer.
125
00:08:32.023 --> 00:08:36.786
So somewhere along the line, we are an electrical system and we can measure cancer to healthy.
126
00:08:37.206 --> 00:08:47.572
And what happens is if I'm sitting in an office in a chair, staring at a screen with LED lights and all this stuff around me, those potential energies, the voltages start to go towards the cancerous side.
127
00:08:48.032 --> 00:08:49.033
It starts to go positive.
128
00:08:49.893 --> 00:08:58.137
And if we don't regenerate, if I don't go out into nature, stare at the sun, jump in the ocean, you know, hug a tree, whatever it might be, I'm not recharging these batteries.
129
00:08:58.917 --> 00:09:08.341
And then people are wondering why they, you know, why they feel so tired throughout the day or that they can't sleep because the body, the voltage is off and we are electrical beings.
130
00:09:08.401 --> 00:09:13.463
And if we don't take care of that part of us, then you're going to see issues in the organs, the emotions, all that kind of stuff.
131
00:09:14.263 --> 00:09:26.005
By the time I get to working with somebody, we talk about root cause healing, but they're so far from recognizing what the root cause is that we're trying to address so many fires at the exact same time.
132
00:09:26.885 --> 00:09:35.947
I heard you say that being on this journey, you've noticed profound changes in your body, your physiology, your emotional body, your spiritual body as well.
133
00:09:36.767 --> 00:09:39.828
Do you notice when you drift and you go back to old patterns?
134
00:09:39.848 --> 00:09:40.548
Yeah.
135
00:09:40.942 --> 00:09:46.248
What are some things that cause you to feel uprooted that maybe our audience could recognize as being something that would be uprooting?
136
00:09:47.309 --> 00:09:52.014
You know, I find self-awareness is kind of lost in today's world.
137
00:09:52.295 --> 00:09:52.715
Yeah.
138
00:09:53.236 --> 00:09:54.217
And it starts when we're young.
139
00:09:54.877 --> 00:09:55.618
You know, no, no, no.
140
00:09:55.738 --> 00:09:56.800
Don't express your emotion.
141
00:09:56.820 --> 00:09:57.621
Don't feel your emotion.
142
00:09:57.641 --> 00:09:58.522
Go over there and be quiet.
143
00:09:58.542 --> 00:09:59.042
Stop crying.
144
00:09:59.062 --> 00:09:59.623
Stop crying.
145
00:09:59.983 --> 00:10:00.404
Sit still.
146
00:10:01.556 --> 00:10:04.037
Sit still or wait until you go to the bathroom.
147
00:10:04.517 --> 00:10:12.060
You know, these are all things that the body is saying something and then we're overriding it with a command from our programming, right?
148
00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:30.408
And so this disconnection of our bodies is creating a lot of problems for us long term because if I don't know my body and I go and I am with me 100% of the time and I go to somebody else to tell me what's wrong with me, but they only get like 30 minutes with me and one test and they're not looking at the entire system.
149
00:10:30.848 --> 00:10:39.230
It's absolutely crazy that, you know, in such a small, such little data, we're diagnosing people for why they have what they have.
150
00:10:40.310 --> 00:10:48.612
And so one of the first things that I did was I basically, when I started this journey for myself, I was alone for two years.
151
00:10:48.632 --> 00:10:49.672
I didn't date anybody.
152
00:10:49.692 --> 00:10:53.452
I didn't want to, like, interact because I wanted to become my own best friend.
153
00:10:53.953 --> 00:10:55.533
I wanted to understand my body again.
154
00:10:55.553 --> 00:10:55.653
Yeah.
155
00:10:56.473 --> 00:11:08.351
And that was an interesting journey because, you know, I would sit on my property in Canada and I'd be out on the grass and I would sit there trying to feel the energy around me.
156
00:11:08.691 --> 00:11:10.634
And this was kind of a new concept to me at the time.
157
00:11:11.635 --> 00:11:13.556
I had a, I was, I was dog sitting.
158
00:11:13.596 --> 00:11:14.857
And so the dog was sitting next to me.
159
00:11:15.697 --> 00:11:22.520
And when the dog would have a reaction to something that was like 40 feet away, I would feel what the dog was feeling.
160
00:11:22.540 --> 00:11:24.661
So I would tune into the dog and I would notice that.
161
00:11:25.222 --> 00:11:27.723
And what happened was I started to build a relationship with my body.
162
00:11:27.743 --> 00:11:29.204
I was like, oh, that's interesting.
163
00:11:29.284 --> 00:11:31.865
So the dog can feel something from 40 feet away.
164
00:11:32.265 --> 00:11:35.147
If I can tune into the dog when it does that, then I can make that connection.
165
00:11:35.167 --> 00:11:35.607
Yeah.
166
00:11:36.147 --> 00:11:41.473
And then after practicing that for a couple of weeks, I was sitting in my house and I just moved in.
167
00:11:41.493 --> 00:11:45.637
I was renting the place and I felt somebody on my property.
168
00:11:46.038 --> 00:11:48.821
Like I felt somebody enter the space and I was like, what's going on?
169
00:11:48.841 --> 00:11:49.902
I feel like someone's here.
170
00:11:49.942 --> 00:11:53.345
I look outside and there's somebody in my yard, in my backyard.
171
00:11:53.365 --> 00:11:54.527
I'm like, that's weird.
172
00:11:54.707 --> 00:11:55.367
It was the gardener.
173
00:11:55.988 --> 00:11:56.128
Right.
174
00:11:56.148 --> 00:11:56.789
But I didn't know.
175
00:11:57.229 --> 00:11:57.930
I became aware.
176
00:11:57.950 --> 00:11:58.050
Yeah.
177
00:11:58.871 --> 00:12:04.692
And so this process of understanding what my body's trying to tell me, you know, nobody can do it but you.
178
00:12:05.273 --> 00:12:23.637
You have to sit with yourself and do different exercises, whether it's, you know, closing your eyes, tuning into your heart and just spend a couple of minutes feeling where your heart is or tuning into your thoughts and noticing if they're racing or if they're calmer today or more creative or when you start thinking more negatively or more positively.
179
00:12:24.357 --> 00:12:28.198
So this process took me, it took me some time to rebuild this relationship.
180
00:12:29.218 --> 00:12:34.783
Once I became self-aware, I noticed the areas where I was off.
181
00:12:35.283 --> 00:12:38.386
So you can't change unless you know that something's wrong.
182
00:12:38.987 --> 00:12:42.369
So if I don't know that I smell bad, how can I do something about it?
183
00:12:42.429 --> 00:12:44.691
So first step is become self-aware.
184
00:12:45.232 --> 00:12:48.434
What are the things that I'm doing in my life that are not serving me?
185
00:12:49.358 --> 00:12:51.879
Okay, I pick one of those things and I work on it.
186
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.821
You know, I say, when this happens and I fall back into this pattern, I have another plan.
187
00:12:57.201 --> 00:12:58.181
And I go into that plan.
188
00:12:58.681 --> 00:13:01.602
And as a result of that, I can catch myself when I fall off.
189
00:13:02.122 --> 00:13:04.623
And then if I keep catching myself, eventually I'll make the change.
190
00:13:05.204 --> 00:13:06.844
And this goes for all behavior change.
191
00:13:06.864 --> 00:13:10.826
You have to know what you're doing wrong and what you're going to do as a plan B when it happens.
192
00:13:11.266 --> 00:13:12.346
So it's a fallback plan.
193
00:13:12.786 --> 00:13:16.628
You create a new habit or you rewire a new way of doing things.
194
00:13:16.908 --> 00:13:17.328
Exactly.
195
00:13:18.048 --> 00:13:23.131
I think we live in a society where we're almost being guided to go more numb.
196
00:13:23.671 --> 00:13:27.213
We've normalized symptoms and suffering and feeling stress.
197
00:13:27.453 --> 00:13:35.717
And often as a coach, when I ask my clients, you know, the level of stress that they feel every day, people always say typically around seven to 10.
198
00:13:36.157 --> 00:13:39.759
But then I'll say, well, if I were to step into your body, what number would I feel?
199
00:13:40.300 --> 00:13:44.962
And more often than not, I met with tears because there's this awareness, self-awareness of what?
200
00:13:45.062 --> 00:13:47.584
God, I felt like this for a really long time.
201
00:13:47.804 --> 00:13:49.465
I've normalized living this way.
202
00:13:49.525 --> 00:13:54.709
And you could think of the cascade of impact that that would happen over your entire body, right?
203
00:13:55.190 --> 00:13:57.191
So a little teaser before we move on.
204
00:13:57.732 --> 00:14:04.677
Jason, I think that what you and your incredible team do is part of unlocking human potential and intelligence.
205
00:14:05.697 --> 00:14:08.778
I was able to experience a session with Jason and Aisha.
206
00:14:09.038 --> 00:14:14.139
And you gave me a feeling that I haven't felt in over 20 years when I was given a spiritual name.
207
00:14:14.839 --> 00:14:18.059
And I had a moment of just feeling bliss in my body.
208
00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:19.660
Oh, I get emotional thinking about it.
209
00:14:20.500 --> 00:14:28.681
And when you feel even a split second of bliss in your body, you realize that you're in full control of how you feel and how you can move through this world.
210
00:14:29.361 --> 00:14:31.942
So I say that for everyone to stick around for this.
211
00:14:31.962 --> 00:14:32.162
Yeah.
212
00:14:33.182 --> 00:14:36.083
We're going to dive into some rapid fire questions before we get into the good stuff.
213
00:14:36.363 --> 00:14:36.763
All right.
214
00:14:37.003 --> 00:14:37.903
So whatever comes to mind.
215
00:14:38.144 --> 00:14:38.344
Sure.
216
00:14:39.144 --> 00:14:47.987
GLP-1 drugs, cold plunges, red light therapy, billion dollar industries built around the body, but not one of them touches the fascia.
217
00:14:48.287 --> 00:14:48.507
Why?
218
00:14:49.967 --> 00:14:50.507
Where's the money?
219
00:14:52.368 --> 00:14:54.769
You can rewire someone's nervous system with your hands.
220
00:14:54.909 --> 00:14:57.089
No drugs, no devices, no diagnosis.
221
00:14:57.489 --> 00:14:59.630
What would it look like if this was part of standard care?
222
00:15:00.370 --> 00:15:02.051
Kindness, global kindness.
223
00:15:03.790 --> 00:15:05.851
Overrated or underrated stretching?
224
00:15:06.691 --> 00:15:07.251
Overrated.
225
00:15:09.171 --> 00:15:10.992
You put your hands on thousands of bodies.
226
00:15:11.032 --> 00:15:17.694
What's one thing that almost every single one of them has in common, regardless of age or fitness level or why they came to see you?
227
00:15:18.294 --> 00:15:21.335
Almost everybody has a left shoulder that's higher, right hip that's higher.
228
00:15:21.755 --> 00:15:22.535
It's a torque pattern.
229
00:15:23.663 --> 00:15:26.587
AI is about to replace most of what the human mind does.
230
00:15:27.027 --> 00:15:30.792
The one thing that it can never replicate is the healing intelligence of human touch.
231
00:15:31.333 --> 00:15:35.057
Is the most radical health technology of the future actually within our hands?
232
00:15:35.077 --> 00:15:36.139
100%.
233
00:15:37.578 --> 00:15:38.539
I thought you'd say that.
234
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:41.640
You are the healer.
235
00:15:41.660 --> 00:15:42.601
That's the core messaging.
236
00:15:43.081 --> 00:15:44.061
And it's also in our minds.
237
00:15:44.542 --> 00:15:45.422
Yeah, of course.
238
00:15:45.602 --> 00:15:47.203
Yeah, what we allow ourselves to believe.
239
00:15:47.883 --> 00:15:49.524
So let's just go deeper into that.
240
00:15:49.544 --> 00:15:57.128
We're living in one of the most medicated, most therapized, most self-help saturated times in history.
241
00:15:57.728 --> 00:15:59.349
Mental health is worse than it's ever been.
242
00:15:59.529 --> 00:16:03.171
Anxiety has become a new epidemic amongst adults and children.
243
00:16:03.771 --> 00:16:06.693
What do you think that we're fundamentally getting wrong in our modern world?
244
00:16:07.053 --> 00:16:12.956
And what do you think that the body this whole time has been wanting to show us or tell us?
245
00:16:13.716 --> 00:16:17.278
Let's leave it with the biggest question ever.
246
00:16:17.298 --> 00:16:22.761
I feel there's, we have a systemic issue, which is, you know, we're,
247
00:16:23.801 --> 00:16:27.924
we are stuck in the lower parts of us, the animalistic side.
248
00:16:28.505 --> 00:16:32.588
Fight, survival, food, competition.
249
00:16:33.408 --> 00:16:37.851
And because we're there, then people are so busy fighting for survival.
250
00:16:38.112 --> 00:16:39.873
And because they're fighting for survival, they don't have time.
251
00:16:40.433 --> 00:16:43.636
And if they don't have time, then they want quick solutions.
252
00:16:43.676 --> 00:16:48.639
And so we tend to go for the fastest way to relieve pain.
253
00:16:49.678 --> 00:16:51.620
rather than the reason why it was there in the first place.
254
00:16:52.060 --> 00:16:55.364
So it's like, okay, well that pill will take away my pain so I can continue to function.
255
00:16:56.064 --> 00:16:58.146
Eventually that won't work anymore.
256
00:16:58.627 --> 00:17:01.169
And this is the problem is we're going to quick solutions.
257
00:17:01.189 --> 00:17:07.655
You know, the technology that's out today, I see a lot of people, they don't do anything throughout the day to take care of themselves.
258
00:17:07.775 --> 00:17:09.857
And then they sit in front of a machine for like 30 minutes.
259
00:17:10.518 --> 00:17:10.738
Right.
260
00:17:10.938 --> 00:17:16.422
And if you're doing 30 minutes of self-care and we live in the world that we live in today, it's not enough.
261
00:17:16.903 --> 00:17:18.063
Like go to the blue zones.
262
00:17:18.904 --> 00:17:19.705
They don't have EMF.
263
00:17:19.725 --> 00:17:21.006
They don't have the chemicals in the environment.
264
00:17:21.026 --> 00:17:22.326
They don't have sitting in chairs.
265
00:17:22.487 --> 00:17:23.447
You know, they're moving all day.
266
00:17:23.467 --> 00:17:24.288
They're out in nature.
267
00:17:25.088 --> 00:17:31.453
So I think that we're just offloading our care to quick, short term solutions rather than building a lifestyle that's healthy.
268
00:17:31.853 --> 00:17:33.875
You know, if you have to be at a computer all day.
269
00:17:34.495 --> 00:17:37.678
find a way to do it outside, you know, create a little space for you.
270
00:17:37.698 --> 00:17:40.900
So you get some fresh air or, you know, you've got the ground on your feet.
271
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:42.762
So there's at least some balance point.
272
00:17:43.422 --> 00:17:48.947
And when there is pain, rather than going to try and solve the problem, find the reason why it's there.
273
00:17:49.727 --> 00:17:55.332
And if there's something small that you can change in your life, that can make a radical shift.
274
00:17:55.912 --> 00:17:59.595
Maybe it's, you know, a partner of yours or your job or something.
275
00:17:59.995 --> 00:18:01.736
It could be something really small.
276
00:18:01.756 --> 00:18:03.097
It could be something also very big.
277
00:18:03.517 --> 00:18:08.420
But find the reason why it was there because pain is never really what we think it is, right?
278
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:12.243
You think that that knee pain is because you have been running a lot.
279
00:18:12.883 --> 00:18:14.845
But it's more than that, you know?
280
00:18:14.905 --> 00:18:19.488
And so if we can find the reason why, then you can actually get to the solution of it.
281
00:18:20.301 --> 00:18:25.946
Isn't it crazy that we live in a world where if we get 30 to 60 minutes of movement a day, we treat that as a win?
282
00:18:26.006 --> 00:18:26.566
We're celebrating.
283
00:18:26.586 --> 00:18:27.086
We're celebrating.
284
00:18:27.106 --> 00:18:27.967
Oh my God, I did it today.
285
00:18:27.987 --> 00:18:28.988
It showed up for 60 minutes.
286
00:18:29.008 --> 00:18:29.789
This is incredible.
287
00:18:30.169 --> 00:18:30.609
Wild.
288
00:18:30.649 --> 00:18:33.211
It should be the opposite in so many ways, right?
289
00:18:33.492 --> 00:18:34.612
Build a lifestyle around it.
290
00:18:34.632 --> 00:18:35.713
Build a lifestyle around it.
291
00:18:35.873 --> 00:18:36.294
Yeah.
292
00:18:36.754 --> 00:18:45.982
So I think the reason why anxiety is coming up as a point of topic, one, knowing so many people who suffer from it, especially with what's happening in the media and politics today.
293
00:18:46.002 --> 00:18:46.102
Yeah.
294
00:18:46.582 --> 00:18:55.110
But two, from my healing journey and living through my heart surgeries and stuff like that, looking back, I know it has nothing to do with my actual heart.
295
00:18:55.591 --> 00:19:01.617
And often when I think of anxiety, I try to help my clients uncover what the body's trying to communicate within.
296
00:19:01.877 --> 00:19:02.978
Like, when did it start?
297
00:19:03.118 --> 00:19:03.919
How old are you?
298
00:19:03.959 --> 00:19:05.320
What happened around that time?
299
00:19:05.841 --> 00:19:09.745
And even when I think about this word inflammation that's being thrown around for everything...
300
00:19:10.601 --> 00:19:17.483
If an organ within you or your blood or your hip or your knee, as you mentioned, was trying to communicate with you, what would it say?
301
00:19:17.623 --> 00:19:22.105
It's like a different way of identifying with the emotions instead of blaming.
302
00:19:22.505 --> 00:19:26.847
Like we're blaming our anxiety, our sadness, our depression, which causes us to go to the doctor.
303
00:19:26.867 --> 00:19:29.147
And then often that comes with a prescription drug.
304
00:19:29.547 --> 00:19:33.769
But are you often seeing this correlation between emotions and the physical body?
305
00:19:34.642 --> 00:19:37.984
Yeah, I mean, a lot of the time, something happens when we're young.
306
00:19:38.584 --> 00:19:40.505
It's almost always before seven, right?
307
00:19:40.945 --> 00:19:46.047
And, you know, before seven, you're just downloading the rules and way that society functions.
308
00:19:46.328 --> 00:19:50.850
So you're just like, it's like when you buy a new phone and you download the software, right?
309
00:19:50.910 --> 00:19:55.432
And so whatever you absorb in that state, you don't have a filter.
310
00:19:56.663 --> 00:20:05.646
So if a situation happens to you and it's traumatic, it could even be something as small as your mom didn't want you to buy candy when you were at the candy store and you were angry at her, right?
311
00:20:05.706 --> 00:20:06.726
And that created a trauma.
312
00:20:07.206 --> 00:20:08.647
Well, that sits in the body somewhere.
313
00:20:08.807 --> 00:20:17.690
And over the years, if we aren't emotionally aware and work through it, then it starts to manifest in the world around us.
314
00:20:18.558 --> 00:20:21.121
For example, road rage, right?
315
00:20:22.222 --> 00:20:27.047
If you felt good in your life and someone cut you off in traffic, would you have road rage?
316
00:20:27.268 --> 00:20:27.748
Not at all.
317
00:20:27.788 --> 00:20:27.988
No.
318
00:20:28.509 --> 00:20:30.892
So that suppressed emotion was stored in the body.
319
00:20:31.672 --> 00:20:34.315
And this person cutting you off in traffic was your healer.
320
00:20:34.936 --> 00:20:42.139
They stepped in front of you to trigger those emotions that you weren't able to process from that breakup or from your boss at work or whatever it might be.
321
00:20:42.620 --> 00:20:50.523
And so, you know, we're in this balance point of we're holding these emotions from a very young age and they're coming up and influencing our life today.
322
00:20:51.184 --> 00:20:53.025
And that can manifest as an anxiety.
323
00:20:53.045 --> 00:20:57.707
It can manifest as, you know, chronic diseases or something in the organs or tension somewhere.
324
00:20:58.267 --> 00:21:05.389
And so I agree with your approach, which is really to go to the childhood and to understand, you know, where did these things start from?
325
00:21:06.189 --> 00:21:14.112
A lot of the time when people come to me and they're like, I had this shoulder injury come up and I'm like, what happened six months before that or one year before that?
326
00:21:14.252 --> 00:21:18.213
Usually in that six month to one month or one year range is the answer.
327
00:21:18.633 --> 00:21:18.853
Yeah.
328
00:21:18.933 --> 00:21:21.934
The reason why that they're in that situation in the first place.
329
00:21:22.014 --> 00:21:25.595
So I like to ask questions to really understand where people are at.
330
00:21:26.135 --> 00:21:32.382
The body has a language like, you know, knees are support and you've got your shoulders is carrying the weight of things.
331
00:21:32.422 --> 00:21:34.764
Your throat is expressing your neck is direction.
332
00:21:34.824 --> 00:21:39.289
So, yes, there's body language and you can read and interpret it to understand what's going on in somebody.
333
00:21:39.690 --> 00:21:46.857
But I do like to to understand what happened when they were younger, what happened six months to one year before the issue came in.
334
00:21:47.670 --> 00:21:50.692
So you do this in a really specific language of the fascia.
335
00:21:51.693 --> 00:22:01.821
And I don't even know if I told you this, but after I became a yoga teacher, I became a fascial stretch therapist, which was very mechanical on a table.
336
00:22:02.301 --> 00:22:14.911
But when I was able to use it in my own way and was able to stretch someone's fascia before yoga, it just brought ease because obviously range of motion increased and happiness went up and increased.
337
00:22:15.071 --> 00:22:17.933
Now we're kind of hearing and understanding the fascia through a different light.
338
00:22:17.973 --> 00:22:24.818
I think primarily because of the work that you do and the science that's emerging because we needed science to validify what ancient wisdom is always known.
339
00:22:25.299 --> 00:22:27.640
But the fascia is actually connected to our nervous system.
340
00:22:28.041 --> 00:22:35.006
So maybe for listeners, if you were to help them understand like just how profound the fascia is, can you give us the fascia one-on-one?
341
00:22:35.426 --> 00:22:35.846
Yeah.
342
00:22:35.866 --> 00:22:43.212
I mean, the traditional way of looking at fascia is it's like this spider web connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, like a saran wrap.
343
00:22:43.602 --> 00:22:47.786
Like if you go to, I always say the chicken breast at the store with that white film on top.
344
00:22:48.226 --> 00:22:48.886
That's like a little...
345
00:22:48.906 --> 00:22:49.187
Exactly.
346
00:22:49.267 --> 00:22:49.487
Yeah.
347
00:22:50.027 --> 00:22:52.089
But that is once it's died.
348
00:22:52.830 --> 00:22:56.093
So when it's in a living system, it operates very differently.
349
00:22:56.433 --> 00:23:00.316
And I can show you a video in a moment just to kind of visualize what I'm talking about.
350
00:23:00.336 --> 00:23:04.980
But fascia is, you know, it's more than this connective tissue spider web.
351
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:06.301
It's actually water.
352
00:23:06.902 --> 00:23:10.385
And, you know, if I cut you right now and you're 70% water, you don't squirt water out.
353
00:23:10.565 --> 00:23:10.745
Yeah.
354
00:23:10.945 --> 00:23:13.746
So my question was like, well, where is the water?
355
00:23:13.766 --> 00:23:14.566
Why doesn't it do that?
356
00:23:14.586 --> 00:23:15.306
It doesn't make sense.
357
00:23:15.986 --> 00:23:17.806
It's because it's not in a liquid state.
358
00:23:18.647 --> 00:23:20.287
You know, water has four phases.
359
00:23:21.047 --> 00:23:23.248
The fourth one, nobody was really talking about.
360
00:23:24.028 --> 00:23:30.809
And I mean, there are people now, but the fourth phase of water is essentially structured water and it's more like a jelly consistency.
361
00:23:31.789 --> 00:23:34.350
And our fascia lives in this gel-like substance.
362
00:23:35.242 --> 00:23:41.144
And because it's water, it holds memory, it holds emotions, and it can conduct electricity.
363
00:23:41.605 --> 00:23:44.546
And we know that because people have studied the properties of water.
364
00:23:44.706 --> 00:23:49.908
Veda Austin and the Japanese scientist, they used to put stuff next to water droplets.
365
00:23:50.368 --> 00:23:52.849
They would then freeze the water and measure it under a microscope.
366
00:23:52.889 --> 00:23:58.351
And you could see whatever the water was next to, it would take that picture inside the water.
367
00:23:58.691 --> 00:24:00.032
So if you put it next to a plant...
368
00:24:00.572 --> 00:24:04.373
it would actually create the tree in the water droplet.
369
00:24:04.893 --> 00:24:06.454
So water is hyperintelligent.
370
00:24:06.634 --> 00:24:09.955
It can hold memory, it can hold emotions, and it conduct electricity.
371
00:24:10.695 --> 00:24:21.239
So if you're 70% water and that's your fascia, and it's this gel-like state, and it has all of these components to it, there's a hyperintelligence that's happening inside of our fascia.
372
00:24:21.499 --> 00:24:25.460
That's not happening inside of the bones or the muscles, the organs.
373
00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:26.121
It's different.
374
00:24:26.901 --> 00:24:30.322
The other thing that we found was it's the only organ in your body that you can't cut out.
375
00:24:30.994 --> 00:24:31.154
Hmm.
376
00:24:31.174 --> 00:24:32.135
Good point.
377
00:24:32.175 --> 00:24:37.757
So, you know, you're basically our fascia and everything sits and floats inside of it.
378
00:24:37.857 --> 00:24:41.559
Your muscles, your bones, your tendons, your ligaments, and your organs float inside of the fascia.
379
00:24:42.179 --> 00:24:44.180
So if you've got a restriction right here,
380
00:24:45.233 --> 00:24:54.296
for in your fascia, because it's calcified and hardened, well, now my rib comes out, my organs get pulled up, my back becomes tight.
381
00:24:54.656 --> 00:25:02.138
And so if I go and adjust a bone or stretch a muscle over here, it didn't deal with the calcification of the fascia over here.
382
00:25:02.958 --> 00:25:05.439
And so what we do is we unwind that.
383
00:25:05.979 --> 00:25:08.500
And I want to show you, let me show you a video.
384
00:25:09.540 --> 00:25:23.633
of what fascia looks like because it's hard to visualize but once you see it on fascia magnified so anybody can find this fascia magnified 25 times on youtube and ignore the commentary about it but essentially
385
00:25:25.295 --> 00:25:27.959
These are water tubules.
386
00:25:28.881 --> 00:25:32.846
So what happens is, this is a water tubule and it's sending information.
387
00:25:33.387 --> 00:25:39.356
When you have an emotion or when you move, it breaks, the tube breaks, and it reconnects to another spot.
388
00:25:40.097 --> 00:25:42.079
You also see blood vessels that run through here.
389
00:25:42.699 --> 00:25:43.560
You'll see the red stuff.
390
00:25:44.541 --> 00:25:46.083
And so this is you.
391
00:25:46.523 --> 00:25:47.944
This is inside the forearm, by the way.
392
00:25:48.265 --> 00:25:49.546
This is a living forearm.
393
00:25:49.586 --> 00:25:50.647
So cut right here.
394
00:25:50.687 --> 00:25:51.568
They lifted the skin.
395
00:25:52.149 --> 00:25:53.570
And you can see how the fascia behaves.
396
00:25:54.311 --> 00:25:57.133
Now, if you do this on a dead body, it's dried up.
397
00:25:57.153 --> 00:25:57.313
Right.
398
00:25:57.353 --> 00:25:57.554
Right.
399
00:25:58.154 --> 00:26:10.123
And what I believe is happening is this water, this gel starts to calcify and harden when we, you know, sit in a position for too long or when we have like a movement pattern that we're reinforcing.
400
00:26:10.903 --> 00:26:12.545
It wants to optimize the movement.
401
00:26:13.105 --> 00:26:16.968
So it starts to calcify and harden, which restricts movement.
402
00:26:17.593 --> 00:26:21.937
But our movement pattern every day is sitting down at a desk, hunched over with technique.
403
00:26:22.177 --> 00:26:23.018
100%.
404
00:26:23.058 --> 00:26:26.581
And it's one of the worst things that we can do for the human body is sitting in a chair.
405
00:26:27.181 --> 00:26:32.706
Because what it does is the kidneys back here start to get pressed up.
406
00:26:32.726 --> 00:26:34.328
You're basically pushing on your kidneys.
407
00:26:35.048 --> 00:26:38.491
You're blocking the fascia in your lower back under your legs to behind your knees.
408
00:26:38.511 --> 00:26:39.292
Yeah.
409
00:26:39.472 --> 00:26:43.598
in the front, because when we squat, the body can breathe differently.
410
00:26:43.618 --> 00:26:49.406
But when you're sitting in a chair, all this upper body weight sits on top of the organs and the diaphragm.
411
00:26:49.706 --> 00:26:51.108
So they don't massage properly.
412
00:26:51.128 --> 00:26:52.170
They don't move properly.
413
00:26:52.210 --> 00:26:54.613
So now things become stagnant in here.
414
00:26:55.234 --> 00:27:04.124
So we're turning off the kidneys, we're stagnating all of the organs in the front, our digestive system, and then we're locking up the entire body on the back.
415
00:27:04.144 --> 00:27:09.650
So our posture changes and, you know, the long term implications of this, I don't I don't think we fully understand it yet.
416
00:27:10.567 --> 00:27:12.387
We were never meant to sit in chairs, were we?
417
00:27:12.727 --> 00:27:12.908
No.
418
00:27:13.228 --> 00:27:17.949
I think about when I go home to Denmark, or sorry, to India, my other land.
419
00:27:18.549 --> 00:27:21.349
When I go home to India, everyone's squatting.
420
00:27:21.789 --> 00:27:21.969
Yes.
421
00:27:22.049 --> 00:27:25.630
Kids, adults, seniors, 80-year-old, 90-year-olds, right?
422
00:27:25.650 --> 00:27:27.551
They're just so used to squatting and moving.
423
00:27:27.991 --> 00:27:33.412
And when you're squatting and moving, one, I think we're now calling it a longevity exercise, which is crazy.
424
00:27:33.432 --> 00:27:33.672
100%.
425
00:27:33.832 --> 00:27:35.153
where you're constantly moving.
426
00:27:35.173 --> 00:27:39.956
And I can imagine the rush of blood also within your body's blood pressures is so powerful.
427
00:27:40.556 --> 00:27:47.420
And I just wanna call out, so just for people who are listening, check out this video because of Jason, I now use this with all of my clients.
428
00:27:47.460 --> 00:27:52.383
So when we go to treat pain, and let's just use back pain because so many people suffer from back pain,
429
00:27:53.023 --> 00:27:57.787
You'll go to see like a physio or a chiro and they'll treat your back or your neck.
430
00:27:58.188 --> 00:28:08.277
But Jason, when he was like kind of ruffling up or pinching the front of his body, we don't think about the lack of movement or flow or energy being from that spot.
431
00:28:08.297 --> 00:28:09.618
And no one's even addressing that.
432
00:28:10.098 --> 00:28:17.164
But you can see how that would cause restriction within the back, compression within the spine, which would cause more pain.
433
00:28:17.825 --> 00:28:19.627
We don't think about that with the fascial system.
434
00:28:20.327 --> 00:28:21.428
The body is a balloon.
435
00:28:22.489 --> 00:28:26.032
So if I tighten the front, it will get tight on the back.
436
00:28:26.933 --> 00:28:31.717
If I have tension here, I'll have tension on my hip on the other side.
437
00:28:32.137 --> 00:28:33.819
So it's like it goes through.
438
00:28:34.239 --> 00:28:41.686
So if you drew me like a circle and you tightened over here, it would create tension on the opposite side of it directly across from it.
439
00:28:42.226 --> 00:28:46.130
And also on the concept of a balloon, what I mean by that is we are pressurized.
440
00:28:46.936 --> 00:28:50.217
So if you go up in an airplane, your ears pop.
441
00:28:50.997 --> 00:28:54.618
And the reason why is because we have air molecules or atmospheric pressure around us.
442
00:28:55.219 --> 00:28:58.840
And we have inside pressure balancing us between the inside and the outside.
443
00:28:59.280 --> 00:29:01.620
Now, if I go really high, the air pressure changes.
444
00:29:01.781 --> 00:29:06.222
So my ears pop to regulate the internal pressure, to balance it with the outside.
445
00:29:06.902 --> 00:29:12.163
So, you know, everybody's got one foot bigger than the other, like a left foot bigger than the right usually, and then the chest.
446
00:29:12.843 --> 00:29:14.644
And it's because there's a dysregulation of pressure.
447
00:29:15.224 --> 00:29:20.265
So going back to what you're saying about squatting, when you bend your ankles and you bend your knees.
448
00:29:20.765 --> 00:29:25.326
So if I push my fingers up right now, fluid will go into the arm.
449
00:29:25.846 --> 00:29:35.208
So when you squat, you bend all of that and you push the fluid, the air, the fashion, everything up into the shoulders, the rib cage, the neck, the head.
450
00:29:35.988 --> 00:29:43.212
So squatting is regulating pressure between the left and the right side of the body, but also between your toes and your top of your head.
451
00:29:43.712 --> 00:29:48.394
So it's a pressure regulation exercise to redistribute the pressure where it's on, where it's dysregulated.
452
00:29:48.414 --> 00:29:49.055
Right.
453
00:29:49.395 --> 00:29:55.198
So if we see the body as a pressurized system, you know, all these little things that we're putting on the body have a big impact.
454
00:29:55.838 --> 00:29:55.998
Right.
455
00:29:56.018 --> 00:29:59.100
Like if I, if I put an elastic band around your waist and.
456
00:30:00.580 --> 00:30:04.602
for 10 hours a day, every day for 60 years, you know, what's going to happen?
457
00:30:04.802 --> 00:30:12.126
If this is a balloon and I tie a knot right here, there's going to be pressure above and below and you're going to have a weird line around your hips.
458
00:30:12.186 --> 00:30:16.288
And you start to see people as they get older, they get, you know, there's like these lines that happen.
459
00:30:16.908 --> 00:30:19.510
Wearing a tight watch will pull the body off.
460
00:30:19.570 --> 00:30:22.271
So the body is very sensitive to pressure.
461
00:30:23.111 --> 00:30:28.214
And if we understand that, then we would change the way that we're wearing clothes, we're working with it.
462
00:30:29.264 --> 00:30:35.794
thinking bras and underwires and restrictive clothing and God forbid corsets.
463
00:30:36.395 --> 00:30:37.196
Don't wear corsets.
464
00:30:38.137 --> 00:30:39.219
Well, bras drive anxiety.
465
00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:42.083
This is to go back to your thing about anxiety.
466
00:30:42.103 --> 00:30:44.066
It's if I squeeze your lungs...
467
00:30:45.807 --> 00:30:47.448
The lungs are the highest priority of the body.
468
00:30:47.468 --> 00:30:47.968
Yeah.
469
00:30:48.048 --> 00:30:51.650
Pretty much, you know, you have food, water, and then you've got air, right?
470
00:30:51.790 --> 00:30:53.250
Without air, it's over.
471
00:30:53.370 --> 00:30:57.812
So if I squeeze your lungs, the body goes, I am in a huge threat right now.
472
00:30:58.312 --> 00:31:00.473
So it drives stress hormones.
473
00:31:00.493 --> 00:31:01.973
It drives anxiety.
474
00:31:02.113 --> 00:31:05.935
And so taking off bras is actually going to help with anxiety as well for women.
475
00:31:06.716 --> 00:31:08.038
Take off your bras, ladies.
476
00:31:08.078 --> 00:31:08.639
That's crazy.
477
00:31:08.779 --> 00:31:09.580
And it's funny too.
478
00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:13.045
Maybe I'm just hearing things through a different light from you because I trust you.
479
00:31:14.167 --> 00:31:15.769
But it just makes sense.
480
00:31:15.850 --> 00:31:18.554
It's so much more than just slight fascial restriction.
481
00:31:18.574 --> 00:31:22.660
You're training your body to behave and be in a different way for so long.
482
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:31.786
So I'm guessing when we think about this through the scientific lens and the medical community, they would have maybe not given this much attention because they're looking at dead cadavers.
483
00:31:32.387 --> 00:31:35.569
But why has ancient wisdom known about this for so long?
484
00:31:35.589 --> 00:31:39.012
When we think about studies of Ayurveda and srotas and...
485
00:31:39.412 --> 00:31:51.464
you know, traditional Chinese medicine around meridians of the body, understanding that there's a network built into the human physiology for detoxification and nutrients, movement and absorption and stuff like that and communication.
486
00:31:51.484 --> 00:31:53.406
Any guesses or do you have a thought?
487
00:31:54.327 --> 00:32:01.274
You know, I think that there are agendas for us to not understand our bodies.
488
00:32:02.292 --> 00:32:03.653
And so a lot of this stuff gets buried.
489
00:32:04.693 --> 00:32:08.854
Even some science on fascia that was released over 20 years ago was buried.
490
00:32:08.874 --> 00:32:10.015
Really?
491
00:32:10.315 --> 00:32:11.475
And I still can't find it today.
492
00:32:11.855 --> 00:32:12.316
Come on.
493
00:32:12.416 --> 00:32:15.397
And it said that fascia has a brain and it's hyper-intelligent.
494
00:32:15.417 --> 00:32:17.097
And it said all these things that we're talking about today.
495
00:32:17.157 --> 00:32:21.719
And it's because if we understand ourselves, then we're empowered.
496
00:32:22.479 --> 00:32:26.241
And some of this information has been out for 5,000 years.
497
00:32:26.301 --> 00:32:29.762
You have everything inside of you to literally achieve anything that you want.
498
00:32:30.482 --> 00:32:32.083
much more than healing, you know?
499
00:32:32.203 --> 00:32:36.524
And I think if we hand that to everybody, then they're going to be very powerful.
500
00:32:36.584 --> 00:32:39.926
And I think that there's a lot of forces that don't want that.
501
00:32:40.066 --> 00:32:41.806
So I think that's why.
502
00:32:42.387 --> 00:32:44.167
The second thing is it's money.
503
00:32:44.527 --> 00:32:50.350
Going back to your question about why isn't fascia being studied or as much as, where's the money?
504
00:32:51.210 --> 00:32:56.692
Because, you know, fascia is a service-based industry, right?
505
00:32:56.912 --> 00:33:09.395
if you're going to use it for money or economics, whereas a supplement or a technological device or going to a hospital and paying $60,000 for some sort of treatment, right?
506
00:33:09.835 --> 00:33:16.257
Whereas if I could just go inside and meditate or do some fascial work on myself, that costs absolutely nothing.
507
00:33:17.117 --> 00:33:23.599
And so I always say follow the money when it comes to understanding why things are being done in the wellness space.
508
00:33:23.899 --> 00:33:24.119
Right.
509
00:33:24.760 --> 00:33:25.500
Ask questions.
510
00:33:25.821 --> 00:33:26.021
Yeah.
511
00:33:26.061 --> 00:33:28.963
A lot of people will not make money if people aren't sick and suffering.
512
00:33:29.264 --> 00:33:29.604
Yeah.
513
00:33:30.204 --> 00:33:31.786
And you have to fund the researchers.
514
00:33:32.426 --> 00:33:39.933
So like there are some really amazing scientists and researchers out there that are doing amazing work, but nobody's giving them the money.
515
00:33:40.453 --> 00:33:44.614
So they're so limited in the number of people they can get for their studies and all of these kinds of things.
516
00:33:44.654 --> 00:33:47.275
So I think it's a really big component of it.
517
00:33:47.816 --> 00:33:50.757
And what we're doing is we're just telling the world that you can heal yourself.
518
00:33:51.677 --> 00:33:52.897
And you can literally do it for free.
519
00:33:53.277 --> 00:33:54.738
And you can do it in like 15 minutes a day.
520
00:33:54.758 --> 00:33:56.819
And all you need to do is just move your body a little bit.
521
00:33:57.379 --> 00:34:00.760
And by doing that, we're putting the power back in the hands of the people.
522
00:34:01.580 --> 00:34:06.002
Now the researchers are coming to say, what are you guys doing with this fascial maneuvers thing?
523
00:34:06.022 --> 00:34:09.683
Like they're coming to us now saying, we want to study this.
524
00:34:10.615 --> 00:34:10.695
Wow.
525
00:34:11.796 --> 00:34:12.456
Fascinating.
526
00:34:13.036 --> 00:34:20.040
Something that happens when you do your yoga teacher training, even if you don't want to be a yoga teacher, if you ever have the opportunity to do a teacher training, go and do it.
527
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:25.363
Week three of a yoga teacher training, teachers are dropping like flies from their mat.
528
00:34:25.803 --> 00:34:30.386
meaning they're leaving their mat to go and have an emotional release, a cry, a purge.
529
00:34:30.466 --> 00:34:31.987
They get pissed off or angry.
530
00:34:32.027 --> 00:34:36.869
They just, I remember, you know, just having a day, I looked up and everyone was gone during class.
531
00:34:37.249 --> 00:34:41.112
And I remember how profound the feeling was in that moment
532
00:34:41.872 --> 00:34:42.932
because it felt like release.
533
00:34:43.472 --> 00:34:48.593
And together, living in a community like that for over a month, it felt like collective release.
534
00:34:49.334 --> 00:35:06.797
And now we have incredible people like Gabor Mate, or there's the famous book, The Body Keeps Score, where the intelligence has kind of been brought to our awareness, but it almost seems too simple because people, maybe it's not too simple, people have to really start to think about how they're feeling.
535
00:35:07.257 --> 00:35:10.638
And I can imagine that when people end up in front of you on their table, you know,
536
00:35:10.878 --> 00:35:12.619
It's a place that they might not want to go.
537
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:13.160
Is that true?
538
00:35:14.521 --> 00:35:14.741
Yeah.
539
00:35:14.841 --> 00:35:18.323
I mean, everybody's at a different starting point, right?
540
00:35:19.224 --> 00:35:21.386
The main thing is really, do they feel safe?
541
00:35:22.887 --> 00:35:27.510
If somebody doesn't feel safe, absolutely no way that they're going to release trauma or an emotion, right?
542
00:35:27.590 --> 00:35:34.075
If you're in like the middle of Walmart, you know, you're not going to like break down crying unless it's like absolutely impossible not to, right?
543
00:35:34.095 --> 00:35:36.736
And so we'll work with people who...
544
00:35:37.617 --> 00:35:40.338
You know, they want to hang on to that identity.
545
00:35:40.918 --> 00:35:43.318
They want to hang on to that emotion or that trauma.
546
00:35:43.578 --> 00:35:44.439
Who are you without it?
547
00:35:44.839 --> 00:35:45.559
Who are you without it?
548
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:46.579
It's so comfortable.
549
00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:47.479
It's all you've ever known.
550
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.160
It's a story you tell everybody every single day that you see them.
551
00:35:50.900 --> 00:35:55.821
And so there's this loop and this comfort with our traumas and our emotions and our pain.
552
00:35:56.741 --> 00:35:59.362
And it's very scary stepping into this unknown.
553
00:36:00.237 --> 00:36:01.339
Who would I be without this?
554
00:36:01.520 --> 00:36:07.271
And so, yes, there are sometimes moments when I meet people and they're not ready to release.
555
00:36:07.292 --> 00:36:07.833
Mm-hmm.
556
00:36:08.828 --> 00:36:13.052
That's from the side where they're interested and they believe in the work, but they're not ready.
557
00:36:13.712 --> 00:36:16.115
And then you'll get the side that they don't believe in it, right?
558
00:36:16.435 --> 00:36:19.418
If somebody doesn't believe, you might as well not even try.
559
00:36:20.398 --> 00:36:30.748
And they know this in the pharmaceutical world because what happened when they wanted to get a drug passed for mainstream was they had to beat the placebo.
560
00:36:31.728 --> 00:36:36.811
And they couldn't in the United States anymore because people were losing faith in the medical system.
561
00:36:36.831 --> 00:36:37.631
So you know what they did?
562
00:36:37.871 --> 00:36:38.692
They took it to Africa.
563
00:36:39.452 --> 00:36:46.776
And then people in Africa saw, oh, intellectual, highly educated doctor wearing a white coat is here in front of me giving me this drug.
564
00:36:47.176 --> 00:36:48.196
Boom, piece of placebo.
565
00:36:48.917 --> 00:36:52.498
Now, if it works for one group of humans, it will work for the rest.
566
00:36:52.919 --> 00:36:54.539
So now they were able to pass those drugs.
567
00:36:54.600 --> 00:36:54.840
Yeah.
568
00:36:55.740 --> 00:37:00.241
belief is so powerful when it comes to helping the body.
569
00:37:00.361 --> 00:37:09.202
And if I'm working with somebody that's a skeptic, then there's so much ego involved or closed offness that it's not even worth it anymore.
570
00:37:09.282 --> 00:37:12.103
So there are times where I actually say to people, I can't help you.
571
00:37:13.283 --> 00:37:17.064
And that's always an interesting conversation after because they're like, but what do you mean you can't help me?
572
00:37:17.104 --> 00:37:18.224
You help all these other people.
573
00:37:19.464 --> 00:37:24.425
So sometimes it actually does work where they now open up because they realize that they were blocking it.
574
00:37:25.270 --> 00:37:28.735
But at the end of the day, I'm not here to try and convince anybody of anything.
575
00:37:29.356 --> 00:37:30.497
I just want to share my experience.
576
00:37:30.618 --> 00:37:33.702
And if it inspires somebody, then, you know, hopefully it helps them.
577
00:37:34.945 --> 00:37:42.409
And obviously, you know, everything is happening and unfolding the way that it is because of the profound shifts that people have experienced with you.
578
00:37:42.770 --> 00:37:46.372
So let's go back to that moment where I had a session with you and Aisha.
579
00:37:46.832 --> 00:37:47.752
Two things I want to point out.
580
00:37:48.053 --> 00:37:56.958
One, if you're listening and maybe you're like me, I never really gave myself permission to talk about trauma because I didn't grow up in a household where there was trauma.
581
00:37:57.318 --> 00:38:02.662
God forbid, like sexual abuse or like my mother, alcoholism and physical abuse and stuff like that.
582
00:38:02.962 --> 00:38:05.064
So I never gave myself permission to go there.
583
00:38:05.584 --> 00:38:08.266
Do you want to maybe say something to the people who might have felt the same?
584
00:38:08.767 --> 00:38:11.449
Like maybe their trauma was the teacher or the bully at school.
585
00:38:12.149 --> 00:38:12.349
Yeah.
586
00:38:12.389 --> 00:38:14.811
You know, a lot of the time people don't even think that they had trauma.
587
00:38:15.351 --> 00:38:19.555
It's because it's usually tied to like sexual abuse, right?
588
00:38:19.755 --> 00:38:22.076
Or physical abuse or bullying.
589
00:38:22.096 --> 00:38:22.197
Yeah.
590
00:38:23.178 --> 00:38:26.707
And I go back to what I said about the child in the candy store.
591
00:38:27.028 --> 00:38:30.116
You know, a trauma is not the event.
592
00:38:31.243 --> 00:38:32.944
It's your reaction to it.
593
00:38:32.984 --> 00:38:34.966
It's the way that you felt about it.
594
00:38:35.506 --> 00:38:41.290
Because I could be in a car accident and have absolutely no perception that that was a trauma to me.
595
00:38:41.510 --> 00:38:42.451
Be like, I feel amazing.
596
00:38:42.631 --> 00:38:42.991
I'm great.
597
00:38:43.151 --> 00:38:43.872
And just keep going.
598
00:38:44.672 --> 00:38:48.735
But there are moments where, you know, something happens to you.
599
00:38:49.276 --> 00:38:51.877
It brings up a deep emotion that you cannot process.
600
00:38:52.478 --> 00:38:56.000
And because you cannot process it, that creates essentially what we call a trauma.
601
00:38:56.641 --> 00:38:59.323
It's an unprocessed emotion stored in the body.
602
00:39:00.263 --> 00:39:02.704
And the deeper the emotion, the deeper the trauma.
603
00:39:03.245 --> 00:39:07.707
There's a lot of people who don't associate with trauma because of the way that society uses that word.
604
00:39:07.887 --> 00:39:08.347
Exactly.
605
00:39:08.367 --> 00:39:10.128
But it can be the smallest thing to the biggest things.
606
00:39:10.528 --> 00:39:11.009
Thank you.
607
00:39:11.389 --> 00:39:15.671
And the way that we experience it is often the same, whatever the scale of it was, right?
608
00:39:15.771 --> 00:39:16.131
Yeah.
609
00:39:16.151 --> 00:39:24.575
Capital T, small T. That kid in the candy store could have felt the same depth of emotion as someone who was bullied in school, right?
610
00:39:24.595 --> 00:39:26.957
And so it's how you feel about it.
611
00:39:27.497 --> 00:39:28.357
It's not the event.
612
00:39:28.658 --> 00:39:29.058
Mm-hmm.
613
00:39:29.778 --> 00:39:34.760
So I'm also not the type of person, like I typically don't cry in front of a lot of people.
614
00:39:35.560 --> 00:39:36.760
I am an introvert.
615
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:37.700
I'm shy.
616
00:39:38.041 --> 00:39:39.621
I obviously repressed a lot of things.
617
00:39:39.641 --> 00:39:41.522
So I'm used to holding a lot of things.
618
00:39:42.082 --> 00:39:50.544
And when you see people in your videos, they're often having very sometimes dramatic sighs or laughs or cries or screams.
619
00:39:51.024 --> 00:39:54.385
And I thought I would never be that person until I was in your hands.
620
00:39:59.707 --> 00:40:04.090
right side and then the cuing of specific words to support me in having release.
621
00:40:04.390 --> 00:40:05.791
Guys, this is all on my social media.
622
00:40:05.811 --> 00:40:06.471
Go and check it out.
623
00:40:06.872 --> 00:40:09.213
But like, I just, I sobbed and I screamed.
624
00:40:09.473 --> 00:40:17.278
And at one point it felt like pain that was so deep that I was like, oh my God, that's where this has been held for so long.
625
00:40:17.758 --> 00:40:21.881
Can you talk to us a little bit about what people are releasing in those moments and
626
00:40:22.341 --> 00:40:28.745
I'm going to call it an arch that you've probably mastered by working on the human body for so long, the patterns that you're seeing.
627
00:40:29.226 --> 00:40:31.927
What are we releasing in those moments?
628
00:40:33.488 --> 00:40:36.150
It's the deep-seated emotions that have been stored for a long time.
629
00:40:36.791 --> 00:40:40.253
And we might tie it to a breakup.
630
00:40:40.293 --> 00:40:41.494
We might tie it to the bullying.
631
00:40:41.514 --> 00:40:42.674
We might tie it to abuse.
632
00:40:43.635 --> 00:40:44.756
It's less about the story.
633
00:40:44.796 --> 00:40:46.637
It's the fact that the emotion was stored there.
634
00:40:47.378 --> 00:40:50.239
And when we work with the body, I kind of see it as a computer, right?
635
00:40:51.140 --> 00:40:53.901
If I know which buttons to push, I know how to create the response.
636
00:40:54.602 --> 00:40:59.144
And so when somebody walks into a room and we begin to work with them, there's a feeling you get.
637
00:40:59.884 --> 00:41:01.065
It's not something I see.
638
00:41:01.285 --> 00:41:02.446
It's not something they tell me.
639
00:41:02.486 --> 00:41:03.166
It's a feeling.
640
00:41:03.906 --> 00:41:11.790
And that feeling is usually there's something being held in this part of the body and it might be related to their father.
641
00:41:12.531 --> 00:41:18.634
And so when I'm working with them, I'll use programming language or affirmations around that.
642
00:41:19.693 --> 00:41:21.956
insight in that area of the body.
643
00:41:22.357 --> 00:41:25.941
And at that moment is when people have like the biggest releases.
644
00:41:26.462 --> 00:41:28.305
Like I was working with a young girl.
645
00:41:28.365 --> 00:41:30.968
She was 17, 18 years old.
646
00:41:31.288 --> 00:41:32.150
Her father left.
647
00:41:32.670 --> 00:41:34.473
She had a lot of stuff going on there.
648
00:41:34.513 --> 00:41:37.096
And for some reason, I didn't know the full story, but...
649
00:41:37.797 --> 00:41:41.220
I was called to push in here and I, and I twist the fashion.
650
00:41:41.240 --> 00:41:45.604
I was working there and I had her say some stuff and boom, it just like came out.
651
00:41:45.884 --> 00:41:52.010
And, you know, I would like to say, I can, I knew that was going to happen, but you don't know what you're going to get when you're pushing on the body.
652
00:41:52.530 --> 00:41:55.253
But there's certain parts of the body that everybody stores things.
653
00:41:55.713 --> 00:41:58.256
There's certain areas where they store specific emotions.
654
00:41:58.776 --> 00:42:02.299
There's certain areas where I touch where almost everybody's going to have an emotional response.
655
00:42:02.339 --> 00:42:02.600
So yeah,
656
00:42:03.140 --> 00:42:11.202
You never know what you're going to get when you're working with the human body, but there's usually an insight or some intuition that guides me to work on certain areas.
657
00:42:12.303 --> 00:42:15.263
In some ways, it felt like it was completely out of the blue.
658
00:42:15.563 --> 00:42:20.385
Like you're stretching, we're moving, you're getting deeper, you're getting deeper, and then bang!
659
00:42:20.525 --> 00:42:21.105
It's out of nowhere.
660
00:42:21.425 --> 00:42:22.105
Out of nowhere.
661
00:42:22.145 --> 00:42:27.187
Just full release and like sigh, cry out loud, which really surprised me.
662
00:42:27.667 --> 00:42:29.767
But there's something else that happened after that moment.
663
00:42:30.167 --> 00:42:31.608
And I think that this is also unique.
664
00:42:32.308 --> 00:42:38.152
is you gave me space to stop, integrate, sit up, and then walk around.
665
00:42:38.813 --> 00:42:44.697
And the first time that I did that, after the first release, I felt already from that moment that I was in a different body.
666
00:42:44.857 --> 00:42:46.258
And I thought the session was over after that.
667
00:42:46.278 --> 00:42:47.719
I was like, this is incredible.
668
00:42:48.299 --> 00:42:54.344
The sky looked bluer, my posture felt taller, and I almost couldn't feel the ground beneath me.
669
00:42:54.504 --> 00:42:56.505
I just felt so good in that moment.
670
00:42:56.805 --> 00:42:58.647
And then you said, okay, well, come on back.
671
00:42:58.667 --> 00:42:58.867
Okay.
672
00:42:59.407 --> 00:43:00.268
We're going back in.
673
00:43:00.648 --> 00:43:01.268
Yes.
674
00:43:02.289 --> 00:43:05.671
Then we went on the left side of the body first, or did we go to the jaw?
675
00:43:06.772 --> 00:43:07.993
We did the right side of your body.
676
00:43:08.113 --> 00:43:09.053
No, the left side first.
677
00:43:09.153 --> 00:43:10.134
Then we did the right side.
678
00:43:10.574 --> 00:43:11.335
Then we did the jaw.
679
00:43:11.655 --> 00:43:11.935
Okay.
680
00:43:12.155 --> 00:43:14.177
So left side of the body, Aisha comes in.
681
00:43:14.657 --> 00:43:17.699
Now I feel a different sense of an energy from her coming in.
682
00:43:18.699 --> 00:43:20.761
And she was working on my hips.
683
00:43:21.341 --> 00:43:22.862
And I thought, yeah, yeah, like I'm a mom.
684
00:43:22.882 --> 00:43:23.923
I've birthed babies.
685
00:43:24.403 --> 00:43:25.324
I'm aware of, you know...
686
00:43:26.164 --> 00:43:28.206
my hip area constriction and stuff like that.
687
00:43:28.726 --> 00:43:32.969
But she said something to the essence of trusting myself again.
688
00:43:32.989 --> 00:43:37.833
And then boom, oh my God, I felt like a complete release.
689
00:43:38.353 --> 00:43:46.600
I needed to hear from somebody else to trust myself again and to be at home in my body again and to trust kind of my evolution and my path.
690
00:43:47.340 --> 00:43:52.323
And, um, another deep release and I could get up and again, my posture felt taller again.
691
00:43:52.443 --> 00:43:55.144
I felt like my body was almost being put back together.
692
00:43:55.504 --> 00:44:00.146
And I'm going into detail about all of this because often we see the videos that you're posting online.
693
00:44:00.166 --> 00:44:03.388
We see the release, but I think a lot of people are wondering, well, what's actually happened?
694
00:44:03.408 --> 00:44:04.809
What did that feel like afterwards?
695
00:44:05.369 --> 00:44:07.990
So what do you see on the differences on the left side of the body?
696
00:44:08.210 --> 00:44:11.152
And are you noticing trends within men and women on these meridians?
697
00:44:11.552 --> 00:44:11.712
Hmm.
698
00:44:12.591 --> 00:44:12.791
Yeah.
699
00:44:12.811 --> 00:44:16.373
So the left side of the body is generally leans towards the feminine side.
700
00:44:16.733 --> 00:44:22.836
So feminine energy, receiving, relationship to mother, relationship to woman, right?
701
00:44:23.036 --> 00:44:24.217
Or relationship to self.
702
00:44:24.417 --> 00:44:25.197
It's more feminine.
703
00:44:25.737 --> 00:44:28.659
And then the right side of the body is relationship to the masculine side.
704
00:44:28.699 --> 00:44:34.001
My father, the men in my life, my actions, doing in the physical world.
705
00:44:34.061 --> 00:44:34.762
It's more physical.
706
00:44:34.782 --> 00:44:35.402
Mm-hmm.
707
00:44:35.682 --> 00:44:47.460
And so I find like if I do a hand release on the right side versus the left, it's very different because we're overdoing in the world that we live in today.
708
00:44:47.500 --> 00:44:50.524
So the right hand hurts significantly more usually for most people.
709
00:44:51.585 --> 00:45:10.253
You know, and if you've got, for example, if I'm working on your right side and I start, you know, you start reacting in a certain way and it's unexpected, you know, that to me tells me there's likely something going on with your father, you're a man in your life or the masculine energy somewhere.
710
00:45:10.273 --> 00:45:14.615
Maybe you're over masculine as a woman or you're, you know, over feminine as a man.
711
00:45:15.355 --> 00:45:17.796
And so the body tells you things as you start pushing on it.
712
00:45:18.336 --> 00:45:21.198
And the right side versus the left, it's usually masculine versus feminine.
713
00:45:21.998 --> 00:45:25.740
And the patterns, as I mentioned in the rapid fire questions,
714
00:45:26.677 --> 00:45:30.280
You know, the left side of the body, people tend to have a left shoulder that's higher.
715
00:45:30.961 --> 00:45:35.605
And so if this left shoulder goes higher, then the neck goes out right here to balance it.
716
00:45:36.105 --> 00:45:39.829
And the face over here becomes thicker or the head becomes thicker.
717
00:45:40.509 --> 00:45:44.073
And so it's this cross pattern across the body.
718
00:45:44.113 --> 00:45:47.516
So from here, if this shoulder is higher, go down to the opposite hip.
719
00:45:48.229 --> 00:45:49.851
and then go down to the knee and then to the ankle.
720
00:45:50.351 --> 00:45:56.177
And so this zigzag throughout the body is basically telling us the torque pattern that most people have.
721
00:45:57.098 --> 00:46:02.022
Sometimes you'll meet somebody who has a different pattern because they had like a weird injury, like something so unique.
722
00:46:02.163 --> 00:46:06.567
But 99.9% of people that I've seen have this torque pattern between the left and the right side.
723
00:46:08.162 --> 00:46:21.748
And with the jaw and the skull, that was another moment where I just, it was felt intensely painful and there was a lot of pressure and you wanted it to be over, but the release wasn't, um, it wasn't subtle.
724
00:46:21.788 --> 00:46:22.829
It was intense.
725
00:46:22.929 --> 00:46:25.470
I think I cried like a baby for a few seconds after.
726
00:46:26.030 --> 00:46:26.250
Yeah.
727
00:46:27.151 --> 00:46:34.975
I can imagine a lot of people are holding a lot of tension within their jaw, their neck, how that connects to the back of their body, their posterior chain.
728
00:46:35.855 --> 00:46:39.600
Is doing fascial work within your jaw and your head, is that part of your daily practice?
729
00:46:39.820 --> 00:46:40.041
Yes.
730
00:46:40.401 --> 00:46:40.641
Yeah.
731
00:46:41.102 --> 00:46:44.887
So like everything we're talking about right now that we did with you is all self-care.
732
00:46:45.387 --> 00:46:48.451
And so, you know, I use my own fingers to do it.
733
00:46:48.932 --> 00:46:51.375
And if I do a little bit every day, it's more than somebody else doing it on me.
734
00:46:51.655 --> 00:46:51.896
Right.
735
00:46:52.336 --> 00:46:53.177
But the jaw is...
736
00:46:54.126 --> 00:46:58.667
You know, we chew all day, we talk all day, and we don't express our truth.
737
00:46:59.328 --> 00:47:11.872
So, you know, every time that somebody makes you feel a certain way and you don't, you feel that energy start to bottle up in your body and it goes up and up and up and up and up and up and up and then you're like, no, and you stop it at the neck or the throat.
738
00:47:12.812 --> 00:47:16.235
Every time we do that, we actually tighten the jaw slightly.
739
00:47:16.895 --> 00:47:21.138
So that emotion starts to come up and it gets stored because it's releasing.
740
00:47:21.459 --> 00:47:21.959
It's coming up.
741
00:47:22.139 --> 00:47:22.840
It's about to go out.
742
00:47:22.940 --> 00:47:26.222
And then it gets stuck there at the ability to speak.
743
00:47:26.642 --> 00:47:35.129
So whenever we work in somebody's jaw, people say to me all the time, it's like you're pushing on my deep, deep, deep emotional bone.
744
00:47:35.489 --> 00:47:36.310
Like it's like it...
745
00:47:36.930 --> 00:47:38.271
It's like you're pushing my soul.
746
00:47:38.371 --> 00:47:40.752
I've had people literally say that to me.
747
00:47:41.092 --> 00:47:42.894
And it's this uncontrollable release.
748
00:47:42.914 --> 00:47:45.095
You know when you cry and your whole body's shaking?
749
00:47:45.735 --> 00:47:50.698
And I just believe it's because we have so much stored in there from unexpressed truths.
750
00:47:50.798 --> 00:47:53.720
In society today, if you express your truth to your boss, you get fired.
751
00:47:53.740 --> 00:47:57.102
Or in school, you get bullied or you get kicked out.
752
00:47:58.868 --> 00:47:59.848
This is being blocked.
753
00:48:00.109 --> 00:48:05.091
And this is a super powerful tool for moving emotions, for manifesting, for creating the life that we want.
754
00:48:05.111 --> 00:48:08.452
You know, every time that you use your voice, it creates a vibration.
755
00:48:09.212 --> 00:48:12.333
That vibration also hits your cells, which changes the structure of the cells.
756
00:48:12.794 --> 00:48:17.696
So if you have positive words, your cells feel more positive and healthier.
757
00:48:18.336 --> 00:48:24.398
And they've measured this in many studies, but every time that we don't use this, we create a problem.
758
00:48:25.279 --> 00:48:27.880
And when we use it negatively, we create a problem in the body.
759
00:48:28.640 --> 00:48:35.390
And when I listen to people speak, you know, I can tell what their future is going to look like just based on the word choices that they're using.
760
00:48:35.410 --> 00:48:36.050
Wow.
761
00:48:36.071 --> 00:48:36.191
Right?
762
00:48:36.231 --> 00:48:39.195
It's like every word that they used was a limiting word.
763
00:48:39.756 --> 00:48:40.597
It was negative.
764
00:48:40.697 --> 00:48:44.542
It was identifying themselves based on something that happened to them in the past.
765
00:48:45.283 --> 00:48:50.045
So this mental loop that they're in of identifying in the past, you know, I was in a car accident.
766
00:48:50.065 --> 00:48:50.925
It's the reason I have this.
767
00:48:50.965 --> 00:48:53.006
Then you ask them about what do they do for work?
768
00:48:53.046 --> 00:48:54.727
And somehow they tell you about the car accident again.
769
00:48:54.767 --> 00:48:57.608
Then you ask them about their family and then they tell you about the car accident again.
770
00:48:57.628 --> 00:48:59.629
You're like, oh my goodness, we're in a loop.
771
00:49:00.269 --> 00:49:05.391
So, you know, the only way to get through that loop is to go to the body, the emotions or the energy.
772
00:49:05.611 --> 00:49:07.672
Those four things I talked about earlier.
773
00:49:08.152 --> 00:49:12.394
I'm not going to talk therapy you out of an identity that you've created or this mental model that you use.
774
00:49:12.834 --> 00:49:13.014
Yeah.
775
00:49:13.034 --> 00:49:13.134
Yeah.
776
00:49:13.374 --> 00:49:15.797
I have to go to the other three states in order to unwind it.
777
00:49:16.598 --> 00:49:21.384
And if we do that, then all of a sudden, thinking positive and speaking positive and expressing becomes easier.
778
00:49:22.491 --> 00:49:23.432
Yeah, talk therapy.
779
00:49:23.472 --> 00:49:24.773
It's almost, it's so overrated.
780
00:49:24.793 --> 00:49:26.494
It's just one aspect of us.
781
00:49:26.574 --> 00:49:33.999
And if we're replaying that loop, I really believe that your words have wisdom and information.
782
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:36.962
Your body responds to whatever you speak, but also what you think.
783
00:49:37.402 --> 00:49:45.888
And if you don't believe me, just go and listen to a sad song and just see how it makes you feel versus listening to something that gets you really excited and amped up and seeing how that makes you feel.
784
00:49:45.928 --> 00:49:47.569
That's case in point, right?
785
00:49:47.589 --> 00:49:48.630
You just have to understand that.
786
00:49:48.890 --> 00:49:49.591
A hundred percent.
787
00:49:49.611 --> 00:49:50.671
Your thoughts are making you sick.
788
00:49:51.052 --> 00:49:51.272
Yeah.
789
00:49:51.632 --> 00:50:13.923
and your words are just a distilled filtered version of your thoughts yeah yeah in our beta we talk about the concept of digesting everything in our environment not just what we eat what we smell what we think what we listen to what we feel what we watch so i think um also if you need more evidence to any of this because i think a lot of people will hear the words but they don't necessarily believe it
790
00:50:14.383 --> 00:50:17.205
And this isn't to say that, you know, there's nothing wrong with you.
791
00:50:17.225 --> 00:50:19.026
You don't have to blame yourself for not believing it.
792
00:50:19.367 --> 00:50:23.550
We just live in a society where we're not taught how to use this intelligence of our body, right?
793
00:50:23.890 --> 00:50:30.975
So it's almost like we need all of those videos about the fascia around how water moves around sounds and frequency and music.
794
00:50:31.055 --> 00:50:38.881
Just watch the shapes that it makes for those to go viral so that we really understand like, hey, that water is actually alive inside me.
795
00:50:39.301 --> 00:50:41.143
What can I do to do that inside me?
796
00:50:41.703 --> 00:50:41.943
Right?
797
00:50:41.963 --> 00:50:42.984
That could bring healing.
798
00:50:43.284 --> 00:50:49.771
Water is a living organism and it responds to frequency and vibration, which is also your words or the music you listen to.
799
00:50:50.572 --> 00:50:52.454
And frequency and vibration is also thoughts.
800
00:50:53.094 --> 00:50:55.237
Thoughts create a frequency and a vibration within the body.
801
00:50:55.337 --> 00:50:59.621
So, you know, this hyperintelligence is constantly responding to these things.
802
00:51:00.142 --> 00:51:04.766
But one of the things I wanted to say, just an exercise that the audience can use if they want to.
803
00:51:05.407 --> 00:51:11.429
You know, if there's somebody in your life that you haven't been able to express to, this is very powerful.
804
00:51:11.849 --> 00:51:19.851
So what I do with people, sometimes, you know, somebody's passed away or they can't, they haven't talked to their mom in 20 years and they're, you know, it's just not going to happen.
805
00:51:20.592 --> 00:51:23.212
Or they tell the person, the person's not willing to hear them.
806
00:51:23.613 --> 00:51:24.273
They don't feel heard.
807
00:51:24.393 --> 00:51:24.993
That's a big one.
808
00:51:25.113 --> 00:51:31.075
And then as a result of these things, they're holding guilt or shame or fear or anger in their bodies.
809
00:51:31.115 --> 00:51:31.295
Yeah.
810
00:51:31.935 --> 00:51:37.178
So what I have them do is I say, I want you to imagine for a moment that I am that person.
811
00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:44.963
And I want you to say everything that you want to say to them, unfiltered, the way that you feel, the impact that that had.
812
00:51:45.744 --> 00:51:50.286
And also, you know, maybe something about letting it go.
813
00:51:50.647 --> 00:51:52.548
You know, I want to let this go.
814
00:51:52.568 --> 00:51:53.848
I'm sorry I've been holding this.
815
00:51:53.909 --> 00:51:54.629
I forgive you.
816
00:51:54.689 --> 00:51:55.509
I forgive myself.
817
00:51:56.090 --> 00:51:57.931
And then also talk about the things that...
818
00:51:58.270 --> 00:52:04.194
And what I noticed when I do that with people is, number one, that they almost always get highly emotional.
819
00:52:05.294 --> 00:52:06.555
Number two, they feel lighter.
820
00:52:06.575 --> 00:52:07.376
Their face changes.
821
00:52:07.416 --> 00:52:08.996
Their whole presence changes.
822
00:52:09.837 --> 00:52:17.081
Number three is I've had people do it with me that haven't talked to people in like 20 or 30 years that the next day that person called.
823
00:52:17.782 --> 00:52:18.142
Wow.
824
00:52:18.822 --> 00:52:26.087
And I know through telepathy tapes, I know through my own experience, thoughts are not in our head.
825
00:52:27.524 --> 00:52:31.826
So if I'm talking to you, I am actually talking to that person.
826
00:52:33.307 --> 00:52:37.309
And, you know, we've all had a moment in our lives where you were thinking about someone and then they call you.
827
00:52:37.609 --> 00:52:41.011
So there's something happening at the non-physical level.
828
00:52:41.611 --> 00:52:43.672
Dogs respond differently when you're coming home from work.
829
00:52:44.032 --> 00:52:46.754
They now just found plants respond differently.
830
00:52:46.774 --> 00:52:48.855
They change their behavior when they know you're coming home from work.
831
00:52:49.722 --> 00:52:52.063
So there's this non-physical component that nobody's talking.
832
00:52:52.163 --> 00:52:55.124
I mean, there's a lot of people talking about, but mainstream is not talking about.
833
00:52:55.804 --> 00:52:58.305
And this non-physical component is very powerful.
834
00:52:58.385 --> 00:53:02.287
So basically what you're doing is you're talking to that person.
835
00:53:02.307 --> 00:53:04.128
They're just not physically present.
836
00:53:04.808 --> 00:53:05.708
You're still talking to them.
837
00:53:06.308 --> 00:53:09.349
And there's no ego in the way because I'm the one receiving it.
838
00:53:09.369 --> 00:53:10.089
I'm just listening.
839
00:53:10.149 --> 00:53:10.789
I'm just an ear.
840
00:53:11.750 --> 00:53:13.230
Because there's no ego in the way, it's heard.
841
00:53:13.250 --> 00:53:15.010
And when we do that, people heal.
842
00:53:15.531 --> 00:53:23.612
So if you are stuck in a relationship in your life and you genuinely want to move through it, this is an exercise that you can do with somebody that will hold space for you.
843
00:53:24.373 --> 00:53:26.673
And the person holding space is not here to answer.
844
00:53:26.853 --> 00:53:27.873
They're not here to say anything.
845
00:53:27.893 --> 00:53:29.594
They're not here to do anything.
846
00:53:29.614 --> 00:53:31.874
They're just literally there to be an ear for you.
847
00:53:35.496 --> 00:53:37.017
don't go and do it in the physical world.
848
00:53:37.237 --> 00:53:40.240
Don't go and talk about it now and try and explain yourself to your friend.
849
00:53:40.640 --> 00:53:42.662
Don't go and call that person.
850
00:53:43.183 --> 00:53:48.527
Allow that energy that you just moved to manifest and process in the physical world.
851
00:53:49.388 --> 00:53:53.452
And in the worst case, let's say nothing changed with that person, you feel better.
852
00:53:54.332 --> 00:53:55.252
So powerful.
853
00:53:55.272 --> 00:54:03.075
I can imagine, you know, a lot of what the people that work with you, it's almost like you've given them permission to feel it, right?
854
00:54:03.155 --> 00:54:06.196
Instead of repress it or push it down or not think about it.
855
00:54:07.116 --> 00:54:16.079
And I'm always blown away when people think that they need to go and get a professional to do emotional cord cutting or any type of cord cutting, spiritual cord cutting.
856
00:54:16.299 --> 00:54:17.060
You can do it yourself.
857
00:54:17.180 --> 00:54:17.720
A hundred percent.
858
00:54:17.860 --> 00:54:18.120
Right.
859
00:54:18.400 --> 00:54:29.262
But I'm also thinking of conversations that I have with my children because I grew up in an environment where it wasn't safe, let's say, to talk about how we feel or any of those things.
860
00:54:29.302 --> 00:54:31.742
We just kind of had to bury it and move on.
861
00:54:32.323 --> 00:54:36.923
It's interesting as a mom now speaking to my kids around, well, let's talk about it.
862
00:54:36.983 --> 00:54:38.064
Is there anything that you want to share?
863
00:54:38.084 --> 00:54:40.284
Let's get it out of your body so that you don't store it in your body.
864
00:54:40.304 --> 00:54:41.804
Let's not go to go to bed upset.
865
00:54:42.284 --> 00:54:44.545
And yet as adults, are we doing that for ourselves anymore?
866
00:54:44.565 --> 00:54:44.665
Yeah.
867
00:54:46.185 --> 00:54:47.767
Most aren't.
868
00:54:48.627 --> 00:54:50.228
And the liberation that comes with that.
869
00:54:50.449 --> 00:54:55.592
So do we actually need the supplement protocol when we can make ourselves feel better?
870
00:54:56.893 --> 00:54:58.455
Look, I mean, we have supplements.
871
00:54:58.495 --> 00:55:00.076
They're amazing.
872
00:55:00.596 --> 00:55:06.581
Mainstream medicine also has a huge purpose, especially in acute care and helping people.
873
00:55:06.901 --> 00:55:07.842
Like if there's an accident.
874
00:55:08.562 --> 00:55:14.807
And my intention is to shine light on there's more than mainstream is talking about.
875
00:55:15.508 --> 00:55:22.033
And I know that the highest state is when I can literally close my eyes, think it, and it shows up in front of me.
876
00:55:23.094 --> 00:55:33.923
And, you know, there's now science showing a lot of this stuff where, you know, if you go into a meditative state and you disconnect from everything, your body, your, you know, your environment from time, you know,
877
00:55:34.063 --> 00:55:37.307
you enter the quantum and you can manifest and create from that place.
878
00:55:37.487 --> 00:55:40.291
And time no longer is a variable in it.
879
00:55:40.951 --> 00:55:46.078
So we operate off of Newtonian physics, which is, if I go from A to B, it's going to take me this long if I'm going this fast.
880
00:55:46.974 --> 00:55:52.739
So if I want to manifest that car or health or whatever, oh, it's going to take me six months and I have to do all this stuff.
881
00:55:52.759 --> 00:55:54.160
It's very physical and takes time.
882
00:55:54.260 --> 00:55:54.960
It's exhaustive.
883
00:55:55.641 --> 00:56:07.230
But if I can disconnect from my body, if I can disconnect from my environment and from time, and I can go into this meditative space, I can actually go into the unlimited potential that's around us and manifest it in real time without time.
884
00:56:07.571 --> 00:56:07.771
Yeah.
885
00:56:08.231 --> 00:56:13.455
And that is the highest form of healing because I'm taking no physical action.
886
00:56:13.595 --> 00:56:15.016
I'm using nothing outside of me.
887
00:56:15.056 --> 00:56:21.060
I'm just literally using me and my tuning fork inside to like a Wi-Fi signal, bring things back in.
888
00:56:22.404 --> 00:56:25.706
maneuvers is a way to help me get to that state faster.
889
00:56:26.447 --> 00:56:31.630
So, you know, a lot of people try to do meditation, but they're in so much stress that they're racing thoughts and they're all over the place.
890
00:56:31.650 --> 00:56:32.731
They're in pain, they're uncomfortable.
891
00:56:32.751 --> 00:56:34.012
They can't get to that state.
892
00:56:34.532 --> 00:56:38.054
So how do we get the body to be in its most flowing state?
893
00:56:38.615 --> 00:56:41.777
So then when we go into the non-physical, it's immediate.
894
00:56:42.437 --> 00:56:43.638
You can create anything from there.
895
00:56:43.678 --> 00:56:44.479
Anything is possible.
896
00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:50.224
People are changing their faces, you know, they're healing cancers and all this stuff just from meditation alone.
897
00:56:50.985 --> 00:56:58.893
So, yes, a supplement can work or a technology or a device or something that I put or a practitioner can help facilitate the process.
898
00:56:59.514 --> 00:57:05.680
My goal is how, for me, how can I remove myself from everything outside of me?
899
00:57:06.020 --> 00:57:06.281
Mm-hmm.
900
00:57:06.839 --> 00:57:09.642
Because if I can do it within me, then that is so empowering.
901
00:57:10.222 --> 00:57:13.385
I don't need to rely on something else when I have a headache or when I'm in pain.
902
00:57:13.405 --> 00:57:14.206
I know exactly what to do.
903
00:57:14.246 --> 00:57:15.307
I can just go to that space.
904
00:57:16.508 --> 00:57:18.971
In quantum healing, have you studied zero-point energy?
905
00:57:19.790 --> 00:57:20.050
Yes.
906
00:57:20.310 --> 00:57:20.570
Yeah.
907
00:57:20.730 --> 00:57:31.533
The understanding of being able to get to a point and the way that I'm hearing you describe it, you're kind of attuning your frequency to just one dial, which is you.
908
00:57:31.973 --> 00:57:34.494
So imagine, and I use this a lot with my clients.
909
00:57:34.514 --> 00:57:48.078
So if you think about you right now in this moment, if you are a radio frequency tower and you still have connections to the bully from, you know, when you were three years old, your parents, the stuff that happened, your parents.
910
00:57:48.638 --> 00:57:50.659
you know, poor grades, kid at the candy shop.
911
00:57:50.699 --> 00:57:56.583
Plus now as an adult work, stressors, kids, world politics, insert all of those things.
912
00:57:56.943 --> 00:58:00.745
It's no wonder we're exhausted for crying out loud because we're attuned to all of those frequencies.
913
00:58:00.805 --> 00:58:01.125
Right.
914
00:58:01.786 --> 00:58:05.748
But then we learn how to just shut them down into one mode.
915
00:58:06.028 --> 00:58:13.873
And I wonder if people, when they find meditation challenging, if that's what they find fearful because they're.
916
00:58:14.633 --> 00:58:22.438
the no noise without recognizing that the no noise is actually like limitless potential and abundance and lots of energy.
917
00:58:22.478 --> 00:58:22.939
It's everything.
918
00:58:22.999 --> 00:58:23.559
Everything you want.
919
00:58:23.799 --> 00:58:24.179
Yeah.
920
00:58:24.900 --> 00:58:25.420
Yeah.
921
00:58:26.541 --> 00:58:30.744
It's interesting because people say all the time that, you know, I can't meditate.
922
00:58:31.044 --> 00:58:31.825
Yeah.
923
00:58:31.925 --> 00:58:35.147
That's why fashion maneuvers is, I like it because it's a movement meditation.
924
00:58:35.747 --> 00:58:40.911
But going back to, I don't like to meditate or I can't meditate or it's too difficult or too challenging.
925
00:58:41.491 --> 00:58:43.331
That's the point.
926
00:58:43.371 --> 00:58:46.612
You are challenging yourself by breaking yourself.
927
00:58:47.252 --> 00:58:57.435
Because when you sit down and you close your eyes and you try and get into this meditative state, what happens is your brain goes to like, oh, I forgot to do my laundry.
928
00:58:58.015 --> 00:59:01.316
Or this person is going to react to me when I have this conversation.
929
00:59:01.396 --> 00:59:03.996
Or it starts to go to all these familiar pathways.
930
00:59:04.816 --> 00:59:08.297
And if it continues to do that, those are the things that I'm putting my attention on.
931
00:59:08.637 --> 00:59:10.958
So those are the things that are going to manifest in front of me.
932
00:59:11.978 --> 00:59:16.181
So the idea is to train your attention so you own it.
933
00:59:16.941 --> 00:59:29.088
Because when I sit in a meditation and it starts going off and it starts thinking about all these things, it's like, wow, I didn't realize that my attention is literally just floating off without me consciously being aware of it.
934
00:59:29.668 --> 00:59:31.949
So how can I take back control of that attention?
935
00:59:32.570 --> 00:59:33.970
I have to call it back like a dog.
936
00:59:34.391 --> 00:59:36.232
I have to train it like a dog to sit.
937
00:59:36.252 --> 00:59:36.412
Right.
938
00:59:36.952 --> 00:59:37.392
No, no, no.
939
00:59:37.552 --> 00:59:38.693
Come back from that thought.
940
00:59:39.113 --> 00:59:41.094
Sit in complete nothingness.
941
00:59:41.595 --> 00:59:50.039
And if you can get to that state of nothingness, you basically delete all those programs in your brain that are hardwired and you can rewire your identity.
942
00:59:50.720 --> 00:59:56.523
And so it's a much faster way to do it because we're just working from one of those four components, which is energy.
943
00:59:57.430 --> 00:59:59.731
I talked about energy, mind, body, and emotions.
944
01:00:00.211 --> 01:00:02.512
They all will help in anything in our lives.
945
01:00:02.932 --> 01:00:08.074
But if we can go to the source of what we are, energy, then it's the most efficient and the fastest.
946
01:00:09.335 --> 01:00:13.496
Why I like implementing the maneuvers is because it helps me get there even faster.
947
01:00:14.056 --> 01:00:23.160
Because if the body's in stress and you're drinking poison and hurting yourself and your stress and anxiety, sitting down and even going into that space is very challenging.
948
01:00:23.680 --> 01:00:25.621
So how do we make it so seamless?
949
01:00:26.657 --> 01:00:29.358
I love the concept of fascial maneuvers as a moving meditation.
950
01:00:29.378 --> 01:00:30.519
That's brilliant.
951
01:00:30.839 --> 01:00:36.641
And maybe we should call out one specific thing also is the power of your breath that you're cuing through a session.
952
01:00:36.661 --> 01:00:48.647
I had a session with somebody years and years ago and he, you know, worked on fascia, but this was someone that was just like digging in, like really digging in to the point of, you know, having intense pain.
953
01:00:49.327 --> 01:00:50.448
That gave me no release.
954
01:00:50.488 --> 01:00:51.968
That just gave me intense pain.
955
01:00:52.329 --> 01:00:56.611
But talk to me about the cueing of breath and the power of the breath behind fascial maneuvers.
956
01:00:57.651 --> 01:00:58.752
So there's two components.
957
01:00:59.372 --> 01:01:01.293
Number one is when you're doing the practice yourself.
958
01:01:01.553 --> 01:01:04.875
So because I said earlier, the body's pressurized.
959
01:01:05.616 --> 01:01:07.337
So we have outside pressure, inside pressure.
960
01:01:07.737 --> 01:01:09.538
Every time I go and I breathe air in,
961
01:01:10.862 --> 01:01:13.023
I'm expanding that balloon from the inside out.
962
01:01:13.723 --> 01:01:16.584
So what we do in faster maneuvers is we counter rotate.
963
01:01:16.685 --> 01:01:20.406
So the head goes one way, the body goes the other way.
964
01:01:21.066 --> 01:01:24.948
And we've basically compressed, twisted the body.
965
01:01:25.608 --> 01:01:26.769
And then we breathe.
966
01:01:26.889 --> 01:01:28.149
So we bring air pressure in.
967
01:01:28.349 --> 01:01:30.650
When you bring air pressure in, it expands like this.
968
01:01:31.491 --> 01:01:35.252
So it's almost like we're not stretching a muscle in a straight line.
969
01:01:35.953 --> 01:01:36.393
We are...
970
01:01:37.538 --> 01:01:38.799
compressing the body.
971
01:01:39.539 --> 01:01:45.243
And then we are bringing air in to expand from the inside out when it's in a compressed state.
972
01:01:46.004 --> 01:01:48.605
And when you do that, you feel lighter.
973
01:01:48.765 --> 01:01:50.967
You feel like you have more space.
974
01:01:51.027 --> 01:01:51.988
You feel expanded.
975
01:01:52.688 --> 01:01:53.788
Because we're blowing up our balloon.
976
01:01:54.168 --> 01:01:58.869
We're literally bringing air in, not for the intention of oxygen necessarily for this exercise.
977
01:01:59.370 --> 01:02:01.230
It's as a pressure regulation device.
978
01:02:02.190 --> 01:02:07.351
So I'll breathe in through the nose to bring pressure more into the upper body and breathe into the mouth.
979
01:02:07.592 --> 01:02:11.212
And with pursed lips, you bring air more into the lower back and the pelvic floor.
980
01:02:11.933 --> 01:02:13.953
So based on the position, you use different breathing.
981
01:02:14.793 --> 01:02:22.015
Now, when I'm working with somebody or when I'm teaching a group of people, the key is to synchronize your breaths.
982
01:02:22.835 --> 01:02:29.080
Because if you synchronize your breath, you create harmony and you amplify the effect for everybody.
983
01:02:29.100 --> 01:02:36.145
The more people that are present in a room doing the same action at the exact same frequency, you amplify it.
984
01:02:36.906 --> 01:02:43.050
It's like you're putting a bunch of batteries next to each other, all with the intention to evolve, grow, transform.
985
01:02:43.691 --> 01:02:51.436
So the more people, they've studied this with even meditation and all that, the more people doing the same behavior in sync with each other, the more powerful it is.
986
01:02:52.328 --> 01:03:01.113
So when we teach to groups of 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 people, all this self-healing thing, we have everybody sink their breath through the entire practice.
987
01:03:01.293 --> 01:03:01.834
Beautiful.
988
01:03:01.954 --> 01:03:04.295
And that, it just enhances it significantly.
989
01:03:04.836 --> 01:03:05.896
You guys worked with HeartMath?
990
01:03:06.857 --> 01:03:07.777
Heart Coherence?
991
01:03:07.877 --> 01:03:08.478
Not directly.
992
01:03:08.950 --> 01:03:09.130
No.
993
01:03:09.410 --> 01:03:10.992
It's exactly what I'm thinking of, right?
994
01:03:11.012 --> 01:03:12.333
Coming into coherence together.
995
01:03:12.373 --> 01:03:15.096
And I'm so amazed at how the energy could shift.
996
01:03:15.236 --> 01:03:15.476
Yeah.
997
01:03:15.817 --> 01:03:16.157
Something.
998
01:03:16.177 --> 01:03:17.258
Were you going to say something?
999
01:03:17.378 --> 01:03:21.222
Well, I was going to say, when we realized this, we created something called a sync up.
1000
01:03:22.363 --> 01:03:31.772
So, you know, before a podcast or, you know, a meeting or before you eat, anybody that's at the table, we would do a sync up.
1001
01:03:32.999 --> 01:03:39.444
And this is really powerful because, you know, maybe you're late for a meeting, someone else is early, someone else is frustrated, and you're all coming in with different frequencies.
1002
01:03:39.985 --> 01:03:43.027
When you're coming in with different frequencies, the conversation's gonna flow differently.
1003
01:03:43.067 --> 01:03:46.030
We might not shiver each other, and you know, might be arguments when it's unnecessary.
1004
01:03:46.710 --> 01:03:51.014
So we created a sync up, which is one fashion maneuver for six breaths.
1005
01:03:51.735 --> 01:03:55.297
And when you do this, everybody at the table syncs, and the conversation flows.
1006
01:03:56.158 --> 01:03:59.342
Or you come out of stress and you digest your food better if you're doing it before you eat.
1007
01:04:00.143 --> 01:04:08.093
So it's a very powerful thing to synchronize with the people around you every once in a while because it creates that coherence and community.
1008
01:04:08.968 --> 01:04:16.854
You know, when communities are malfunctioning, it's because there's different belief systems, you know, different things going on in the day.
1009
01:04:16.874 --> 01:04:19.236
They're not doing something together.
1010
01:04:20.277 --> 01:04:27.223
And you see this all the time with people who, you know, maybe they smoke with everybody else after work or during their work break, but then they stop.
1011
01:04:28.628 --> 01:04:30.548
That was the time that they sunk up with the group.
1012
01:04:31.269 --> 01:04:34.649
Now, three months later, they don't feel like they belong at that job.
1013
01:04:35.170 --> 01:04:36.510
And now six months later, they leave.
1014
01:04:37.090 --> 01:04:40.871
Because they stopped the behavior of smoking, they no longer synced with the community around them.
1015
01:04:40.891 --> 01:04:42.791
Now they no longer felt they belonged and they left.
1016
01:04:43.332 --> 01:04:46.272
So this synchronizing activity can be done just in six breaths.
1017
01:04:46.892 --> 01:04:47.613
Fascinating.
1018
01:04:48.193 --> 01:04:52.894
And I imagine through that process is the uncovery around whether you're with the right people.
1019
01:04:53.727 --> 01:04:54.327
A hundred percent.
1020
01:04:54.347 --> 01:04:55.588
Who you want to be syncing with.
1021
01:04:55.968 --> 01:04:59.410
I'm thinking about, I always look for rituals that we can incorporate.
1022
01:04:59.430 --> 01:05:02.252
I think if you ritualize any type of an action, it becomes you.
1023
01:05:02.552 --> 01:05:06.234
This would be great to do at the dinner table every night and great to do with children.
1024
01:05:06.614 --> 01:05:06.834
Yeah.
1025
01:05:06.854 --> 01:05:07.034
Right?
1026
01:05:07.134 --> 01:05:10.296
Imprinting with your kids so that you show them they'll remember when they're older.
1027
01:05:10.316 --> 01:05:10.916
Yeah.
1028
01:05:10.997 --> 01:05:11.457
You want to try it?
1029
01:05:11.577 --> 01:05:11.737
Yeah.
1030
01:05:11.757 --> 01:05:12.177
Let's do it.
1031
01:05:12.237 --> 01:05:12.577
Sync up.
1032
01:05:12.597 --> 01:05:12.777
Okay.
1033
01:05:13.158 --> 01:05:18.260
So you can either cross your right foot over your left or you can bring it up above your knee.
1034
01:05:18.581 --> 01:05:20.302
So your right foot just over top.
1035
01:05:21.142 --> 01:05:24.804
And then your right hand goes under your left armpit and your left arm on top.
1036
01:05:25.364 --> 01:05:29.867
So you're gonna hug yourself and then turn your head to the left and your body to the right.
1037
01:05:31.828 --> 01:05:33.068
Now we're gonna breathe in together.
1038
01:05:33.108 --> 01:05:34.189
So breathe in through the mouth.
1039
01:05:39.091 --> 01:05:39.311
Two.
1040
01:05:45.715 --> 01:05:45.955
Three.
1041
01:05:51.513 --> 01:05:55.394
In through the nose, out through the mouth.
1042
01:05:58.775 --> 01:05:59.016
Two.
1043
01:06:05.038 --> 01:06:05.298
Three.
1044
01:06:05.318 --> 01:06:12.160
Then you unwind.
1045
01:06:13.267 --> 01:06:14.407
And you'll feel the energy shift.
1046
01:06:14.587 --> 01:06:16.108
Totally.
1047
01:06:16.268 --> 01:06:16.548
Yeah.
1048
01:06:16.848 --> 01:06:23.351
Sometimes it's weird when you're in a flow on a podcast and then you shift the energy and you're like, whoa, it's like something changed.
1049
01:06:23.811 --> 01:06:24.831
It's like an endorphin rush.
1050
01:06:25.291 --> 01:06:25.571
Yes.
1051
01:06:25.631 --> 01:06:25.852
Yeah.
1052
01:06:26.312 --> 01:06:30.113
And so what we did is we mimicked the same movement with breathing.
1053
01:06:30.633 --> 01:06:34.155
Now, you could do any movement as long as you're mimicking each other.
1054
01:06:34.175 --> 01:06:34.335
Right.
1055
01:06:34.575 --> 01:06:34.935
I see.
1056
01:06:35.055 --> 01:06:37.496
So sometimes you're in a situation where you can't do that.
1057
01:06:37.876 --> 01:06:40.817
So it's like hand on the heart, hand on the head, and we do the breaths.
1058
01:06:40.857 --> 01:06:41.077
Yeah.
1059
01:06:42.105 --> 01:06:45.126
This position, why we chose this one is because it's the fetal position.
1060
01:06:46.286 --> 01:06:52.508
And, you know, the fetal position where you're all crawled up and rolled up into a ball and you're hugging yourself, you're counter-rotated.
1061
01:06:52.608 --> 01:06:57.890
That is like the core fundamental movement behind fascial maneuvers.
1062
01:06:59.170 --> 01:07:05.012
And what we found is when we put people into a fetal position, they release trauma and emotions and stress.
1063
01:07:05.232 --> 01:07:10.434
They, you know, and you can hold people in fetal positions on a table and they have deep releases.
1064
01:07:11.515 --> 01:07:14.518
So doing it in the fetal position, you could do it either way.
1065
01:07:14.578 --> 01:07:16.260
We just played around with one of them today.
1066
01:07:17.281 --> 01:07:23.288
What's powerful about this too, I noticed, is moving my arms, I grabbed myself.
1067
01:07:23.548 --> 01:07:28.934
And it felt like the feeling of holding myself or hugging myself, which I don't do very often.
1068
01:07:29.094 --> 01:07:30.536
But it felt really nice.
1069
01:07:31.497 --> 01:07:32.338
There's something about it.
1070
01:07:32.538 --> 01:07:33.479
There's something about it.
1071
01:07:33.659 --> 01:07:33.899
Yeah.
1072
01:07:33.979 --> 01:07:41.244
And I remember feeling that way with you guys also because giving someone a hug is fine, but having someone hold you is a very different experience.
1073
01:07:41.464 --> 01:07:43.565
And we're so void of touch today.
1074
01:07:43.805 --> 01:07:45.486
Do we put you in the fetal position on the ground?
1075
01:07:45.506 --> 01:07:46.487
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1076
01:07:46.607 --> 01:07:55.633
So my favorite is when you're in the ocean or like a calm body of natural water and you hold someone in the fetal position.
1077
01:07:56.393 --> 01:08:03.758
Because now it actually simulates being in the womb where they're floating in this water and they're just in this extremely safe space.
1078
01:08:04.478 --> 01:08:13.064
It brings people's body almost like a time machine back to when they're in their mother's body for nine months at a time when they were safe.
1079
01:08:13.104 --> 01:08:13.964
They were growing.
1080
01:08:14.024 --> 01:08:14.865
They were adapting.
1081
01:08:14.885 --> 01:08:17.347
You know, all the hormones, all this stuff was happening.
1082
01:08:17.367 --> 01:08:18.007
Right.
1083
01:08:18.187 --> 01:08:22.728
And if we bring the body into these familiar positions, we create physiological responses.
1084
01:08:23.208 --> 01:08:28.109
It's the same as if you like stand up really tall and like, you know, you're trying to be confident, right?
1085
01:08:28.129 --> 01:08:35.290
You walk into a room big or if you're like crouched over and you're, you know, playing small, it will make you feel a certain way.
1086
01:08:35.950 --> 01:08:45.812
So if I can put the body in a position just by standing a certain way and feel more confident, then there has to be other positions we can put the body into that's going to create other feelings or responses.
1087
01:08:46.212 --> 01:08:47.372
And the fetal position is one of them.
1088
01:08:47.672 --> 01:08:48.092
Hmm.
1089
01:08:48.312 --> 01:08:48.833
Good point.
1090
01:08:49.213 --> 01:08:51.674
We're going to make a reel out of that so that we can all practice that together.
1091
01:08:51.934 --> 01:08:55.756
And I love that we can do that seated because we can do this at any point.
1092
01:08:56.196 --> 01:09:01.278
What would the impact be if we took these fascial maneuver snack breaks throughout the day?
1093
01:09:01.918 --> 01:09:04.880
Look, when people are in stress, there's a reaction to the world around them.
1094
01:09:05.720 --> 01:09:08.763
And usually reactions are not good, right?
1095
01:09:09.084 --> 01:09:11.406
Someone cuts you off in traffic and you have road rage.
1096
01:09:12.167 --> 01:09:14.689
If I'm out of stress, then I see things differently.
1097
01:09:15.290 --> 01:09:20.255
You know, your sight, your smell, your touch, your taste, your hearing, everything starts to enhance.
1098
01:09:21.156 --> 01:09:24.700
And it's almost like you have more space between you and the world around you.
1099
01:09:25.360 --> 01:09:28.604
So when a situation hits you, your cup's not full.
1100
01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:34.647
you can take that, whoa, that was pretty intense what that person just said to me.
1101
01:09:35.167 --> 01:09:43.138
You can process it in the moment and then you can respond more consciously versus if your cup is full of stress, it's about to pour over.
1102
01:09:43.178 --> 01:09:44.660
If you say one thing, I'm snapping.
1103
01:09:45.320 --> 01:09:46.362
And that's very destructive.
1104
01:09:46.442 --> 01:09:46.642
So...
1105
01:09:47.523 --> 01:09:56.509
If we can reduce the stress in people around us and ourselves, you know, we're going to see more flow, more creativity, better sleep, more energy.
1106
01:09:56.529 --> 01:10:02.674
You know, we're going to see people being more kind, less fighting, less of all the other crazy things that are happening.
1107
01:10:03.574 --> 01:10:04.395
Hurt people hurt people.
1108
01:10:04.755 --> 01:10:08.178
It is it is it's a statement that's been used a lot.
1109
01:10:08.358 --> 01:10:09.679
And there's so much truth to that.
1110
01:10:10.379 --> 01:10:13.942
So if I can take care of myself and I don't feel hurt on the inside, I'm not going to hurt people on the outside.
1111
01:10:14.182 --> 01:10:15.303
You take that out into the world.
1112
01:10:15.543 --> 01:10:15.883
Mm hmm.
1113
01:10:16.661 --> 01:10:21.125
I think it's inevitable that we're going to continue to live in a world where stress is going to be high.
1114
01:10:21.705 --> 01:10:28.211
We are probably going to be spending a lot of time behind screens with technology moving faster than we've ever experienced before.
1115
01:10:28.271 --> 01:10:29.832
Like all of these things are inevitable.
1116
01:10:30.193 --> 01:10:33.215
So the one thing that we can take control of today is our physiology.
1117
01:10:33.876 --> 01:10:38.840
And I say that to put the reflection to listeners, why not try it?
1118
01:10:39.100 --> 01:10:41.542
Like why not try it to feel the impact?
1119
01:10:41.983 --> 01:10:43.884
Because when you feel better in your body, the
1120
01:10:44.505 --> 01:10:47.787
Forcing yourself to be healthy doesn't happen.
1121
01:10:47.967 --> 01:10:49.067
Healthy becomes you.
1122
01:10:49.467 --> 01:10:56.491
Forcing yourself to show up for like rituals that might feel challenging, it doesn't feel like force because it becomes you, right?
1123
01:10:56.531 --> 01:10:57.491
It's a very different feeling.
1124
01:10:57.891 --> 01:11:05.515
And something else that you made me remember when you were speaking is you cued me to do something different, which was to look up.
1125
01:11:06.873 --> 01:11:07.694
I was looking down a lot.
1126
01:11:07.794 --> 01:11:08.856
He said, look up, look up.
1127
01:11:08.916 --> 01:11:11.058
And I was like, oh yeah, I can look up.
1128
01:11:11.659 --> 01:11:16.864
Expansion, vastness, stillness, movement, nature.
1129
01:11:16.884 --> 01:11:22.090
It was a very different experience for my body to just be cued to do that.
1130
01:11:22.728 --> 01:11:24.849
This is actually very common when we're working with people.
1131
01:11:25.469 --> 01:11:28.530
You know, there's a tendency to look down into the past.
1132
01:11:28.550 --> 01:11:32.871
There's a little bit of like that shame and guilt and heaviness there.
1133
01:11:32.951 --> 01:11:37.592
So we look down when we're walking, you know, doing this practice.
1134
01:11:37.612 --> 01:11:39.552
A lot of people tend to, they go to the ground.
1135
01:11:40.092 --> 01:11:41.513
So we cue a lot of people to look up.
1136
01:11:42.372 --> 01:11:48.355
Into like the new you, the new future, this new, we have to unwire the patterns of how you walk and move.
1137
01:11:48.735 --> 01:11:50.556
So you become it, you become that change.
1138
01:11:51.296 --> 01:11:55.458
And having people like look up when they're walking is it's important when they're doing the work.
1139
01:11:56.193 --> 01:11:58.794
And maybe remember, you don't have to go head down to be more focused.
1140
01:11:58.834 --> 01:12:02.736
You can actually go head up and feel inspired and focused at the same time.
1141
01:12:02.756 --> 01:12:03.357
A hundred percent.
1142
01:12:04.177 --> 01:12:05.978
You're also making me think about the vagus nerve.
1143
01:12:06.418 --> 01:12:08.579
Do you talk about the vagus nerve and the connection to fascia?
1144
01:12:09.620 --> 01:12:09.980
Yes.
1145
01:12:10.740 --> 01:12:17.484
And, you know, it's, I think it's actually quite a simple, maybe this is a little oversimplified, but.
1146
01:12:18.184 --> 01:12:25.809
The way that I like to explain it is, you know, the vagus nerve runs through the neck on both sides and it connects the upper body to the lower body.
1147
01:12:25.829 --> 01:12:30.331
So your brain to your heart, your digestive system, all this stuff.
1148
01:12:31.172 --> 01:12:38.516
If there's restriction in the neck, so tight jaw, tight, you know, making heavy decisions, tight neck, right?
1149
01:12:38.877 --> 01:12:40.157
Not speaking my truth, tight.
1150
01:12:40.578 --> 01:12:46.922
Well, this nerve, this vagus nerve that's being used for a lot of functions starts to malfunction.
1151
01:12:47.782 --> 01:12:53.685
And I look at it like, you know, the signal's trying to go through and it's not going through as fast as it would like.
1152
01:12:53.745 --> 01:12:55.565
So it goes to other nerves to support.
1153
01:12:56.086 --> 01:12:57.186
So it takes detours.
1154
01:12:57.406 --> 01:12:59.007
It's like there's construction on the highway.
1155
01:12:59.047 --> 01:13:00.247
So we're going to go and take detours.
1156
01:13:00.267 --> 01:13:01.668
So it's slower and it's less efficient.
1157
01:13:02.508 --> 01:13:03.229
And the body does that.
1158
01:13:03.249 --> 01:13:09.231
If a nerve isn't working properly, it will try and detour around it to find the fastest, most optimal way to make it happen.
1159
01:13:10.011 --> 01:13:12.933
So if there's too much tension here, the vagus nerve is constricted.
1160
01:13:13.833 --> 01:13:17.958
What we do, we have a fascial maneuver for the vagus nerve, which is super simple.
1161
01:13:18.098 --> 01:13:27.808
Like you literally, you just push the skin down right over the first rib here on the collarbone and you push the chin diagonally up and then you move around and breathe.
1162
01:13:28.068 --> 01:13:29.910
What you're doing is you're creating space through here.
1163
01:13:30.831 --> 01:13:33.594
If things have space in the body, they will function optimally.
1164
01:13:34.535 --> 01:13:35.256
It's that simple.
1165
01:13:35.596 --> 01:13:35.756
Yeah.
1166
01:13:35.816 --> 01:13:38.299
If they're stagnant, if they can't move, it's going to malfunction.
1167
01:13:38.319 --> 01:13:40.881
You're not going to get nutrients, oxygen, electricity, all this stuff.
1168
01:13:41.401 --> 01:13:45.645
So boom, both sides and you'll create space for that and it will help.
1169
01:13:45.725 --> 01:13:47.747
You'll notice a shift between the left and the right side.
1170
01:13:48.777 --> 01:13:50.758
Let's ask the vanity question then also.
1171
01:13:50.778 --> 01:13:56.963
A lot of people are getting hooked on, you know, face yoga or I think there's like face clinics where they stretch.
1172
01:13:57.003 --> 01:14:01.146
But a lot of women are like terrified to even stretch their skin, which I think is absurd.
1173
01:14:01.446 --> 01:14:06.509
Can you talk to us about that and also the changes that you've noticed and seen others and how their faces might change?
1174
01:14:06.769 --> 01:14:08.350
Let me show you mine.
1175
01:14:09.111 --> 01:14:09.811
Have I showed you this?
1176
01:14:09.992 --> 01:14:10.212
No.
1177
01:14:10.232 --> 01:14:11.172
Okay.
1178
01:14:11.553 --> 01:14:11.893
So...
1179
01:14:13.589 --> 01:14:17.195
This is my six-year transformation.
1180
01:14:17.576 --> 01:14:18.057
Whoa.
1181
01:14:18.137 --> 01:14:22.765
That was six years ago, five years ago, four years ago, and three years ago.
1182
01:14:23.214 --> 01:14:27.897
So the picture he's showing me, you look like a completely different person in the first photo.
1183
01:14:27.957 --> 01:14:29.318
Your face is much more round.
1184
01:14:29.358 --> 01:14:30.858
You actually have more wrinkles.
1185
01:14:30.878 --> 01:14:35.581
Your eyes are drooping down and you've got a completely different shape of a face.
1186
01:14:35.801 --> 01:14:36.602
And the skin color.
1187
01:14:36.742 --> 01:14:39.503
And the skin color looks dull and yellow.
1188
01:14:39.523 --> 01:14:40.364
Yeah.
1189
01:14:41.144 --> 01:14:43.806
Compared to, well, now looking lifted.
1190
01:14:43.826 --> 01:14:46.868
I see your jawline like really defined.
1191
01:14:46.928 --> 01:14:48.449
Your brows look different.
1192
01:14:48.849 --> 01:14:50.190
Your eyes look more open.
1193
01:14:51.200 --> 01:14:52.041
My forehead's bigger.
1194
01:14:52.381 --> 01:14:53.562
Your forehead is bigger.
1195
01:14:53.842 --> 01:14:55.063
Your hairline almost shifts.
1196
01:14:55.183 --> 01:14:55.984
Yeah, everything.
1197
01:14:56.224 --> 01:14:56.985
Everything changed.
1198
01:14:57.125 --> 01:14:58.166
So this was my...
1199
01:14:58.947 --> 01:15:02.069
This is all doing it myself through fashion maneuvers and lifestyle.
1200
01:15:02.790 --> 01:15:05.713
You know, when we want to change the structure of our face...
1201
01:15:06.577 --> 01:15:07.937
It's not just the face.
1202
01:15:08.137 --> 01:15:11.998
Because remember what I said, left shoulder higher, neck out here, face heavier here.
1203
01:15:12.218 --> 01:15:16.399
So, you know, your face will torque because the lower body's torqued.
1204
01:15:17.120 --> 01:15:20.140
So it's this, it's almost like you're playing, is it Jenga?
1205
01:15:21.681 --> 01:15:22.301
Pull the blocks?
1206
01:15:22.441 --> 01:15:23.921
Yeah, you have to keep it balanced.
1207
01:15:24.041 --> 01:15:25.702
So if you just work on your face,
1208
01:15:26.502 --> 01:15:29.263
But the rest of the body is still dysregulated.
1209
01:15:29.283 --> 01:15:30.344
It's just going to pull it back.
1210
01:15:30.924 --> 01:15:31.904
So there's a number of things.
1211
01:15:31.924 --> 01:15:35.465
Like if you're going to work on the face, make sure you hit the rest of the body.
1212
01:15:36.106 --> 01:15:37.526
You have to hit three zones.
1213
01:15:37.846 --> 01:15:39.107
We break it down into three zones.
1214
01:15:39.127 --> 01:15:41.408
Your head is or the neck up is zone one.
1215
01:15:42.088 --> 01:15:44.130
The torso and the arms, zone two.
1216
01:15:44.590 --> 01:15:46.112
And the legs, zone three.
1217
01:15:46.752 --> 01:15:50.095
If you make a change in one zone, you have to change the other ones.
1218
01:15:50.416 --> 01:15:51.637
So you have cheeks here.
1219
01:15:52.217 --> 01:15:52.918
You have cheeks here.
1220
01:15:53.398 --> 01:15:54.039
And you have cheeks here.
1221
01:15:54.539 --> 01:15:55.380
You've got a nose here.
1222
01:15:55.680 --> 01:15:57.262
You have a nose here in zone two.
1223
01:15:57.422 --> 01:15:58.183
There's a xiphoid.
1224
01:15:58.843 --> 01:16:00.365
And then you've got a nose, your tailbone.
1225
01:16:01.255 --> 01:16:04.698
So you have mirroring effects in zone one, two, and three.
1226
01:16:05.739 --> 01:16:09.503
And the jaw is here, the jaw here, and then the ankle bone is the jaw.
1227
01:16:09.663 --> 01:16:11.064
It all makes that like L shape.
1228
01:16:11.825 --> 01:16:19.672
So if I change pressure in my jaw here, it's going to change pressure in my hip on the opposite side and then on the ankle on the same side.
1229
01:16:20.412 --> 01:16:21.552
and they're all related.
1230
01:16:21.773 --> 01:16:24.593
So you can't just work on the face without working on the rest of the body.
1231
01:16:25.073 --> 01:16:25.754
That's the first thing.
1232
01:16:26.194 --> 01:16:29.295
The second thing is, you know, stretching.
1233
01:16:29.555 --> 01:16:30.635
Stretching the skin on your face.
1234
01:16:31.095 --> 01:16:33.536
Stretching the skin on the face is not what causes wrinkles.
1235
01:16:34.036 --> 01:16:40.698
Wrinkles are caused by usually dehydration, too many chemicals, you know, stress, emotions.
1236
01:16:41.678 --> 01:16:41.958
But...
1237
01:16:42.852 --> 01:16:51.475
Wrinkles might not be such a bad thing because what they found when they do Botox here, you are unable to express your emotions the same.
1238
01:16:51.495 --> 01:16:52.075
Exactly.
1239
01:16:52.115 --> 01:17:00.058
Therefore, it helps people who, you know, maybe are dealing with depression or something like that because it literally turns their emotions off.
1240
01:17:00.279 --> 01:17:00.399
Right.
1241
01:17:00.579 --> 01:17:03.420
But for other people who want to express themselves, it turns them off.
1242
01:17:03.740 --> 01:17:03.840
Yeah.
1243
01:17:03.860 --> 01:17:03.960
Yeah.
1244
01:17:04.635 --> 01:17:14.404
I've heard women, it impacts their orgasms because if you can't express how you feel on your face, then it affects the way that you feel the emotions and the connection.
1245
01:17:14.584 --> 01:17:17.366
And then that ultimately goes to the amount of pleasure that you can experience.
1246
01:17:18.007 --> 01:17:24.332
So the implications of changing something in the face is much more than I think we know.
1247
01:17:24.352 --> 01:17:24.753
Yeah.
1248
01:17:24.773 --> 01:17:24.953
Yeah.
1249
01:17:25.493 --> 01:17:28.636
I can't socially connect with you if I can't see how you're reacting to me.
1250
01:17:29.117 --> 01:17:35.823
And if you can't feel your emotions because you've turned off the main thing that helps you express them, you know, it creates this disconnect.
1251
01:17:36.624 --> 01:17:40.007
So, you know, being as natural as possible and there's natural ways to do it.
1252
01:17:41.028 --> 01:17:43.750
you know, getting out into nature, hydrating the body.
1253
01:17:44.370 --> 01:17:46.172
Silica is a beauty molecule.
1254
01:17:46.212 --> 01:17:50.154
It will help you rebuild your hair, your skin, your nails, your joints, your teeth.
1255
01:17:50.214 --> 01:17:51.595
It will remove metals from the body.
1256
01:17:52.556 --> 01:17:55.337
So there's some pretty simple things that you can do and you just do it daily.
1257
01:17:55.778 --> 01:17:58.099
You'll eventually get to the photo that I showed you.
1258
01:17:58.359 --> 01:17:59.100
You age backwards.
1259
01:17:59.340 --> 01:18:00.100
You age backwards.
1260
01:18:00.281 --> 01:18:00.441
Yes.
1261
01:18:01.141 --> 01:18:05.986
And look, there's a lot of women, I'm sure, who are listening who feel so much better by doing those modalities.
1262
01:18:06.306 --> 01:18:15.375
I used to, but I can't be somebody who's a practitioner in health and put those things into my body and choose organic and clean water and then pump my body full of toxins.
1263
01:18:15.415 --> 01:18:16.376
It just doesn't make sense.
1264
01:18:16.596 --> 01:18:20.640
Nor do we have information on what's going to happen long term by using these chemicals.
1265
01:18:20.960 --> 01:18:21.501
And it's...
1266
01:18:21.701 --> 01:18:31.010
If you do give specific focus to your nutrient intake, to stretching, to proper hydration at a cellular level, a lot of things that we've talked today, you see a difference.
1267
01:18:31.050 --> 01:18:32.211
You really do notice a difference.
1268
01:18:32.231 --> 01:18:33.733
There's so many alternatives out there.
1269
01:18:34.293 --> 01:18:36.235
We just need to put the effort towards them as well.
1270
01:18:36.275 --> 01:18:37.877
So thanks for touching on that a little bit.
1271
01:18:38.337 --> 01:18:47.243
And I also think what we're talking about is a band-aid again, because why are we going in that direction in the first place?
1272
01:18:47.303 --> 01:18:51.385
And that's, you know, social programming is really deep these days.
1273
01:18:51.586 --> 01:18:51.926
Oh, yeah.
1274
01:18:51.946 --> 01:18:53.527
For women especially, don't age.
1275
01:18:53.707 --> 01:18:55.148
Look like you're 30 when you're 80.
1276
01:18:55.428 --> 01:18:56.109
It's all marketing.
1277
01:18:56.729 --> 01:18:59.391
And if you tell life long enough, eventually it becomes true.
1278
01:19:00.331 --> 01:19:05.294
And, you know, marketing is beauty and health and all this stuff.
1279
01:19:05.334 --> 01:19:05.495
It's...
1280
01:19:06.495 --> 01:19:14.081
billions of dollars are being invested into programming you into feeling a certain way so that you make certain decisions.
1281
01:19:14.621 --> 01:19:22.387
And you think it's a conscious decision, but it's actually a program that's executing at the subconscious level because it's been told to you so many times.
1282
01:19:23.248 --> 01:19:28.212
So I feel the solution is to disconnect from the programming first and
1283
01:19:29.052 --> 01:19:34.237
And then go to how can I now remove the damage of it, right?
1284
01:19:34.497 --> 01:19:36.259
I can go and move my body and do all these things.
1285
01:19:36.680 --> 01:19:49.012
So the programming, like disconnecting from the internet or from the news or from Instagram or from scrolling and also being really mindful of what you eat, what you watch.
1286
01:19:49.532 --> 01:19:52.034
Because whatever you're watching is going into your subconscious.
1287
01:19:52.841 --> 01:19:56.882
You know, I had a moment when we went on tour.
1288
01:19:56.902 --> 01:19:58.543
I got in an airplane.
1289
01:19:58.563 --> 01:20:00.664
It was the first time I'd flown in a while.
1290
01:20:01.604 --> 01:20:05.685
And I looked around on the airplane and we're in the United States.
1291
01:20:06.445 --> 01:20:11.047
And every single TV that was playing on the back of someone's seat
1292
01:20:12.409 --> 01:20:14.412
I couldn't believe it.
1293
01:20:14.532 --> 01:20:16.294
I haven't watched TV for like seven years.
1294
01:20:16.314 --> 01:20:17.796
I haven't watched movies or any of that.
1295
01:20:18.057 --> 01:20:19.859
I've completely removed myself from that world.
1296
01:20:20.340 --> 01:20:25.827
And when I was sitting in this plane, I almost had trauma from seeing what was on the screen.
1297
01:20:25.887 --> 01:20:26.728
You can't even hear it.
1298
01:20:27.069 --> 01:20:27.690
Exactly.
1299
01:20:28.030 --> 01:20:31.111
It was in news here with like fires and bombs.
1300
01:20:31.131 --> 01:20:33.152
And over here, there was like shooting in a movie.
1301
01:20:33.172 --> 01:20:34.353
And then over here was sex.
1302
01:20:34.393 --> 01:20:37.014
And there was just so much programming happening.
1303
01:20:37.054 --> 01:20:41.916
But because I had removed myself for so long, I was able to see it because a fish doesn't know it's in water until you take it out.
1304
01:20:42.797 --> 01:20:42.937
And.
1305
01:20:43.891 --> 01:20:47.633
what happens is there's a desensitization of the systems that react to these.
1306
01:20:48.394 --> 01:20:58.219
So if I show you one shooting and then another one, another one, another one, another one, another one, another one, eventually you don't feel the reaction anymore.
1307
01:20:58.960 --> 01:21:02.162
You've now desensitized yourself to that act.
1308
01:21:02.822 --> 01:21:05.083
This is like kids playing, shooting video games.
1309
01:21:05.163 --> 01:21:06.524
It desensitizes them to that.
1310
01:21:07.084 --> 01:21:07.224
So
1311
01:21:08.507 --> 01:21:16.384
How do we get to the programming level before it gets to, okay, what can I do to make myself look younger or feel better?
1312
01:21:17.889 --> 01:21:19.970
And I think this is so relevant for the time, right?
1313
01:21:20.070 --> 01:21:22.212
Starting to ask questions about everything.
1314
01:21:22.372 --> 01:21:23.532
What are you being sold?
1315
01:21:23.573 --> 01:21:24.533
What are you being told?
1316
01:21:24.573 --> 01:21:26.334
What is your doctor telling you to do?
1317
01:21:26.514 --> 01:21:29.897
And kind of awakening this wisdom that I think we all have within us.
1318
01:21:30.577 --> 01:21:43.866
Can you maybe share with listeners who are really curious about this work and they want to go a little bit deeper and they're understanding the connection between fascia and emotion and kind of like a stored way of being that they're ready to move on from?
1319
01:21:44.486 --> 01:21:48.537
Is there a message of kind of like how to enter this world with curiosity?
1320
01:21:48.557 --> 01:21:49.901
Hmm.
1321
01:21:51.721 --> 01:21:54.262
So I think there's two parts to it.
1322
01:21:54.282 --> 01:21:57.044
I'll start with the fascial maneuvers.
1323
01:21:58.024 --> 01:22:04.488
So for those who don't know what fascial maneuvers are, it's really a practice that we created to work on your own fascia.
1324
01:22:04.988 --> 01:22:05.668
It was self-care.
1325
01:22:06.189 --> 01:22:08.490
Like we had a clinic with a 3,000 person wait list.
1326
01:22:08.530 --> 01:22:11.291
We closed it because we realized that people could help themselves.
1327
01:22:12.192 --> 01:22:17.095
Just to put that into perspective, like we closed a machine because we knew that there was a better way.
1328
01:22:18.144 --> 01:22:22.366
Self-care, this practice can be done for 15 minutes a day.
1329
01:22:23.046 --> 01:22:25.168
We have seated ones for people who can't stand.
1330
01:22:25.628 --> 01:22:29.990
We have ones that you can do standing ones for athletes, for moms, dads, kids.
1331
01:22:30.210 --> 01:22:32.471
We have kids programs, like all this stuff.
1332
01:22:32.531 --> 01:22:37.754
15 minutes a day of doing the practice will reduce a little bit of stress and a little bit more and a little bit more and a little bit more.
1333
01:22:38.394 --> 01:22:46.820
When you come out of stress, the body has more energy to focus on performance and healing and growth and transformation.
1334
01:22:47.681 --> 01:22:52.224
But if you're in stress, you're not going to heal because the stress is taking all your energy to resolve it.
1335
01:22:52.965 --> 01:22:59.390
So 15 minutes a day, you know, we have videos on our YouTube channel or, you know, an app.
1336
01:22:59.470 --> 01:23:00.110
It's all donate.
1337
01:23:00.130 --> 01:23:02.031
You can donate to it and you can just do the movements.
1338
01:23:02.112 --> 01:23:02.712
Okay.
1339
01:23:02.972 --> 01:23:04.414
And you can share it with the people around you.
1340
01:23:05.314 --> 01:23:06.676
So that's from the movement side of things.
1341
01:23:06.716 --> 01:23:14.583
But if we were to go to the lifestyle side, you know, I think that lifestyle is a huge part of this because we live in a pretty...
1342
01:23:17.757 --> 01:23:18.698
toxic world.
1343
01:23:19.679 --> 01:23:23.642
And, you know, instead of being controlled by it, there's things that you can do.
1344
01:23:23.983 --> 01:23:29.808
You know, you can change your water, you can change your toothpaste, you can change your bedsheets, you can change your detergent, you can do all these things.
1345
01:23:30.208 --> 01:23:36.394
So when it comes to the lifestyle aspect, you know, I find it's very easy to add more, more, more.
1346
01:23:36.674 --> 01:23:37.734
What supplement can I take?
1347
01:23:38.134 --> 01:23:39.355
You know, what can I change?
1348
01:23:39.375 --> 01:23:40.055
What can I do here?
1349
01:23:41.075 --> 01:23:44.376
My philosophy is more about substitution in the beginning phases.
1350
01:23:45.077 --> 01:23:47.217
So, you know, what's your toothpaste?
1351
01:23:47.698 --> 01:23:51.139
Okay, for the next month, we're going to focus on just your toothpaste.
1352
01:23:51.179 --> 01:23:53.399
Go buy a new toothpaste and substitute it out.
1353
01:23:54.100 --> 01:23:55.960
And then what will happen is they start to feel a little bit better.
1354
01:23:56.240 --> 01:23:57.621
They start to have a little bit more energy.
1355
01:23:58.221 --> 01:23:59.081
Then we go to the next thing.
1356
01:23:59.161 --> 01:24:00.862
Okay, let's change your detergent.
1357
01:24:00.882 --> 01:24:01.362
Okay.
1358
01:24:01.582 --> 01:24:10.007
And you start to slowly, systematically substitute all of the things that you're doing every single day for like 10 hours a day, you know, sitting in clothes with detergent in it.
1359
01:24:10.827 --> 01:24:15.289
And if you can make those changes, then it will have a huge impact on the way that you feel.
1360
01:24:15.950 --> 01:24:18.251
Then it will get to a point where you say, what more can I do?
1361
01:24:18.451 --> 01:24:19.432
Because you feel so good.
1362
01:24:19.452 --> 01:24:22.833
You have more energy and you want to leverage that momentum.
1363
01:24:22.853 --> 01:24:23.554
You want more of it.
1364
01:24:24.346 --> 01:24:26.647
Whereas a lot of the time people try and take away.
1365
01:24:27.407 --> 01:24:28.947
They try and subtract my coffee.
1366
01:24:29.287 --> 01:24:30.407
I'm going to go on a diet.
1367
01:24:31.388 --> 01:24:35.068
And they put themselves in this deficit of those things that were holding them stable.
1368
01:24:35.088 --> 01:24:36.129
Good point.
1369
01:24:36.169 --> 01:24:36.369
Right?
1370
01:24:36.409 --> 01:24:38.809
So substitution in the lifestyle aspects of it.
1371
01:24:39.389 --> 01:24:41.130
And then you've got the self-care with the maneuvers.
1372
01:24:41.170 --> 01:24:45.651
And with the blend of the two, anybody can take back control of their own health.
1373
01:24:46.533 --> 01:24:48.394
For almost nothing.
1374
01:24:48.814 --> 01:24:50.194
Like, you can move your body for free.
1375
01:24:50.315 --> 01:24:54.776
You just have to learn which movements you need that work best for you, and you can take care of yourself.
1376
01:24:55.317 --> 01:24:55.877
So great.
1377
01:24:56.477 --> 01:25:04.240
You have an abundance of videos available, not only through your app, but also through YouTube that people can look at at any point in time.
1378
01:25:04.880 --> 01:25:10.783
For all of my clients, it's built into their protocol to start their day with the self-care protocol.
1379
01:25:10.823 --> 01:25:11.083
Amazing.
1380
01:25:11.103 --> 01:25:11.203
Yeah.
1381
01:25:11.963 --> 01:25:14.104
I just think it's so profound and important.
1382
01:25:14.404 --> 01:25:22.508
And what I'm learning in this line of work, I think that the human body is actually probably the most intelligent tool on the planet.
1383
01:25:23.129 --> 01:25:26.150
And what you said about unlearning is so profound.
1384
01:25:26.210 --> 01:25:31.653
I think that we need to unlearn how to be well, that our body actually already knows how to be well.
1385
01:25:32.273 --> 01:25:37.536
And the work that you're doing is so powerful because you're really helping people understand that they are their own healer.
1386
01:25:38.056 --> 01:25:40.739
that there is the capacity to feel really great in their bodies again.
1387
01:25:41.299 --> 01:25:52.830
So maybe close up with one message to everyone in terms of what you've seen and the transformation that you've happened over the past, what now, 15 years of doing this.
1388
01:25:53.391 --> 01:25:58.236
Can you maybe call on like two or three big scenarios of the shifts that you've seen?
1389
01:25:59.177 --> 01:26:01.820
Yeah, I'll start with one, like a couple just outside of myself.
1390
01:26:02.040 --> 01:26:10.528
You know, we've had people who've healed parts of their dementia or Parkinson's or scoliosis or autoimmune or tinnitus or, you know, you name it.
1391
01:26:10.548 --> 01:26:14.873
There's somebody who's reached out from our community who has done this themselves and healed.
1392
01:26:16.294 --> 01:26:20.238
And that's very empowering, knowing that, you know, it doesn't matter what the discipline is.
1393
01:26:20.298 --> 01:26:21.760
If you bring the body out of stress, it'll heal.
1394
01:26:23.292 --> 01:26:31.557
For myself, you know, I don't even know how to put it into words, the amount of change that I've seen in myself.
1395
01:26:31.757 --> 01:26:35.179
The world that I live in today, the way that I react to things, the way that I see things.
1396
01:26:35.900 --> 01:26:40.223
You know, when you were saying, if you were to go into your client's body, how would they feel?
1397
01:26:41.383 --> 01:26:45.166
I wish for so many people to feel the way that I feel in my body.
1398
01:26:46.002 --> 01:26:47.943
because I didn't feel this way for most of my life.
1399
01:26:48.503 --> 01:26:51.764
And it was the whole reason why I did this in the first place, because I was in so much pain.
1400
01:26:52.125 --> 01:26:56.086
I was following this checklist built out to me by society of what I should and shouldn't do.
1401
01:26:56.646 --> 01:26:58.667
And it got me to a point where I just didn't feel good.
1402
01:26:58.687 --> 01:27:00.048
I was stressed, I was unhappy.
1403
01:27:00.088 --> 01:27:01.869
I was doing all the things I just didn't understand.
1404
01:27:02.629 --> 01:27:04.590
And that was the photo that you saw at the beginning.
1405
01:27:05.410 --> 01:27:09.511
I look like a beat up old man and I felt like it.
1406
01:27:09.531 --> 01:27:11.071
And I was like, this just doesn't make sense.
1407
01:27:11.491 --> 01:27:23.834
So when I had that realization that something needed to change and it wasn't what mainstream was telling me, I had to go and explore something outside, something much bigger, something out there, maybe more woo, who knows.
1408
01:27:24.534 --> 01:27:29.075
But when I did that, I discovered that I can feel good in my body and I don't need anything outside of me.
1409
01:27:29.916 --> 01:27:34.339
And more and more every single day, I disconnect from the things outside of me that make me feel a certain way.
1410
01:27:35.059 --> 01:27:44.024
I have less reliance on a coffee or a person or validation or recognition or whatever it might be.
1411
01:27:44.084 --> 01:27:46.686
I don't need things from the outside to feel good on the inside.
1412
01:27:47.566 --> 01:27:51.689
And in the world that we live in today, there's going to be more and more and more and more going on the outside.
1413
01:27:52.309 --> 01:27:54.770
And people are going to continue to say, buy this, it will fix you.
1414
01:27:54.790 --> 01:27:56.551
It never works.
1415
01:27:56.571 --> 01:27:57.172
It never works.
1416
01:27:58.230 --> 01:28:07.477
Go back to like the 10 machines that are gathering dust in your room or in your garage that you were promised a miracle pill.
1417
01:28:07.878 --> 01:28:09.159
You have to do the work.
1418
01:28:09.219 --> 01:28:12.181
You can't just sit there and expect a machine to heal you.
1419
01:28:12.781 --> 01:28:18.786
You have to either change your life so it's so healthy that you don't have to do any self-care or just do some self-care a little bit every day.
1420
01:28:19.086 --> 01:28:22.569
And eventually it will add up and you will thank yourself for doing it.
1421
01:28:23.630 --> 01:28:25.111
Beautiful.
1422
01:28:25.171 --> 01:28:26.252
What website can people go to?
1423
01:28:26.995 --> 01:28:28.076
humongarage.net.
1424
01:28:28.677 --> 01:28:29.158
Perfect.
1425
01:28:29.698 --> 01:28:30.599
I can't wait to have you back.
1426
01:28:30.619 --> 01:28:32.001
I'm so honored to call you a friend.
1427
01:28:32.021 --> 01:28:32.601
Thank you so much.
1428
01:28:32.701 --> 01:28:33.763
Thank you for mirroring this.
1429
01:28:34.063 --> 01:28:34.924
Yeah, that was lots of fun.
1430
01:28:35.244 --> 01:28:35.685
Appreciate it.
