Happy Tongue: Happy Body
Sensing the soft totality of my tongue helps me remember that the rest of my body, my being, can also soften and fill, can hum and flow. Can dance.
Caring for Your Fascia
Can it be that our fascia contains untapped reserves of self-expression, healing and wisdom?
Staying Mobile While Sheltering in Place
I take my time, resisting the urge to “fix” what I think should move more gracefully. If I stay within today’s comfort zone, movement gradually becomes freer without force.
Shoes and Scoliosis
Ballet flats aren’t cute on a misaligned foot. If the foundation in the feet doesn’t support the body above, another region of the body will take on the responsibility for support—a knee, a hip or even the shoulders. Misalignment leads to more misalignment, and more tension.
Micromovement, Saliva and Posture
Today I learned something important about the micromovement of my tongue.
Fascial Resonance and Breathing
Fascial breathing is quite striking the first time you tune into it. It might even seem unnerving if you‘re not used to being so intimate with your aliveness. Fascial breathing makes it obvious that you’re alive in your body. This may touch your vulnerability, reminding you of your impermanence.
Re-conceiving Our Bodies
Current fascia research suggests that we’ve had it backwards for several millennia. This research indicates that bones, muscles, and organs--indeed, all other tissues in the body—may be, in fact, specializations within the unified medium of fascia. A primary constituent of embryonic development, fascia is the very clay of our creation. In other words, fascia is the stuff we’re made of.
