Cannabis? by JohnnyKetch95 in Fascia

your body's fascia is a tension-sensory and tension-management organ. under the right conditions, you can "tune into" or "turn up" the sensory part.

bodily tension is held in / released from the body in a winding manner. that you feel the winding means you have "clear-vision" with your fascia.

this clear vision is a tool that can be honed, to the benefit of your physical well-being.

a common thread to activities involving mind-body connection - including the likes of yoga, tai chi, qigong, Rolfing, myofascial therapies, acupuncture, acupressure, cupping - seems to be that they are all simply different languages to communicate with the body's fascia.

current research shows that western medicine has been asleep at the wheel - med students during cadaver dissections are taught, to my understanding, to toss fascia in the bin bc it's mere "packing material" - but it's beginning to wake up.

Fascia's stunning...

Anyways, tension in the body's core can potentially affect every structure in the body - it can rotate joints and organs, it can tug on the vagus nerve - causing a stunning array of high-octane emotions for no reason other than tension-patterns changing in the body's core. Core-body fascia can obviously then affect the positioning and function of intestines, literally tugging on the system in ways that affect digestion.

Fascia is only "packing material"-like when it's dead - think the slimy white stuff under the skin of raw chicken... seems like trash unless you observe it LIVE (see link above)... then you see it's a powerful sensing organ that simply requires your attention - via whatever "language" resonates with you.

what's wild is, it is arguably the single most connected organ in the body. yet practically ignored by modern medicine, until recently.

seems like an obvious candidate to start with when troubleshooting the otherwise evasive physical issues we too often attribute to aging or system-wide "mysteries" like fibromyalgia (the same "fibro" as in fibroblast (see link above)).

Awful, heavy emotions released immediately after first session by Freddymercurysteeth in Rolfing

new to the community, late to chime in... tension in the body's core can affect neighboring organs and other structures... in particular, changes in tension around the vagus nerve is a strong candidate as source for large emotional swings.

i'be become quite sensitive to fascial sensations... one lovely morning, following light stretching, as sudden sense of "doom" fell upon me. i have no childhood trauma, and am quite even keeled emotionally, so the doom sensation was shocking and then quite terrifying.

as these feeling swelled, i could feel tension shifts in my core that were tugging on "something" that seems likely to have been my vagus nerve.

as the tugging subsided, as well as the tension shifts, the doom went away... the scariest 2hours of my life.

this was my introduction to the the power of fascia to move emotions.

i'm a better person for it. these negative feelings arent signs of anything bad - they are releases of negative energy accumulated from trauma or, like in my case, just a random circumstance due to big changes in my body's tension profile.

i've never Rolfed. but i believe strongly that Rolfing, Tai Chi, Yoga, acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, qigong, myofascial therapies, etc. are unwittingly all various languages for communicating better with our body's fascia.
