Heal your mind and body with some knowledge and a tool that gets you started. This isn’t hype or marketing or magic. It’s a free option that few people are talking about that offers you a way to begin healing yourself, backed by science.
Here’s what you need to know…
What you may not know, and scientists are just discovering, is that you have an incredibly powerful network within your body that connects all parts of you to all the other parts of you. You have a spider’s web-like tissue (called fascia, pronounced “fah-shah” or connective tissue) covering your whole body.
Even more interesting is that this tissue holds astonishing levels of wisdom and incredible amounts of sensory ability. Connective tissue is a primary control center for emotional, physical and mental well-being.
Here are some scientific facts about fascia, also called your 6th Sense:
If you learn how to access your fascia properly, with full awareness, you can permanently rewire the pathways in your brain, change your baseline mental health and decrease your physical pain.
The new discoveries about this “organ of communication” has proven that healing doesn’t require talking or positive thinking. Instead, healing begins and ends with accessing your body in specific embodied ways.
Good news! Studies are now showing that more frequent, short intervals of practice are much more effective than longer periods of infrequent practice. This means, you don’t have to carve out big blocks of time to get embodied, but rather sneak in some short embodiment breaks a few times a day. It’s so much easier this way!
Here’s one tool you can try out to work with your connective tissue and to begin to rewire your brain.
Practice Tool:
Follow the steps below. Use this tool for anywhere from 5 minutes to 15 minutes – you decide.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember, your connective tissue is an organ that needs focused attention. You must be fully in your body! Without full awareness to the sensation you’re experiencing (also referred to as ‘interoception’ or ‘embodiment’) you will not impact the connective tissue, thus making this tool non-effective. So, in essence, you can’t use these kinds of tools while also watching TV or talking on the phone.
Your body has all the wisdom it needs inside it to change, heal and grow. Now it’s up to you to use it…
