The Wonderful World of Fascia

Fascia is often thought of as simply being an inert wrapping for muscles/organs. In reality, it is an essential energetic, sensory, and nutrient-delivery organ. This includes mechanical proprioception, ANS innervation, electron/biophoton conduction, and stem cell propagation.

The most basic role of the fascia is to communicate information on the position of the body via tension within collagen fibrils. Mechanical information is transmitted instantaneously and can then be communicated to the neuromuscular and circulatory systems.

Fascia is a two-way interface for the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Parasympathetic tone causes contractile cells (myofibroblasts) to relax, an effect that can be induced with gentle massage. Sympathetic tone causes these cells to contract and harden, chronically contributing to fibrosis of the tissue.

The collagen fibrils that make fascia are also conductors of electrons, helping to maintain the conductivity of tissues and ferry energy throughout. At the same time, fascia is piezoelectric, helping to create an electric charge through movement alone.

Collagen is also able to tune light emitted by and within an organism. Known as biophotons, light is used to communicate metabolic information at unmatched speeds. The fascia then also functions as a fiber-optic channel that propagates these photons throughout the entire body.

Fascia is also the medium for a nutrient delivery system that develops prior to the nervous system in the embryo. The primo-vascular system (PVS) is a network of translucent vessels and nodes that ferry stem cells and other nutrients to all tissues in the body.

Fascia and the PVS offer an anatomical basis for the ancient concept of energy meridians that carry "Qi" (electrons/photons) through the body. Fascia aligns with these meridians with striking accuracy. Stimulation of these points on can induce instantaneous and systemic effects.

Fascia does all of this while connecting all tissues, organs, and even cells together to form a coherent and cohesive unit. It is literally connecting the entire body on a physical, energetic, and chemical level. Your skin to your bones and all of your cells are one.

How to promote healthy fascia:

-Sufficient metabolism (thyroid)
-Autonomic nervous system balance (P>S)
-Light (whole body)
-Movement
-Massage/Acupuncture
-Grounding
-PEMF
-SCENAR
