We all do many things, it can be a difficult thing to manage sometimes. It’s important to know that in some of the things we do, we are setting gears into motion which we do not fully understand. We do something looking for a certain result and oftentimes it may come at the cost ofContinue reading “Unintended Consequences”

Take Care of Your Coat
Some say the clothes make the man.. I say the man is his coat… We’re all wearing multiple layers, even totally naked! Superficial Fascia, Deep Fascia and that’s only the physical layers.. If you’ve ever come in from a long day, changed out of some sweaty work clothes into something soft, clean and comfortable; andContinue reading “Take Care of Your Coat”
The Primal Mind: Hypnosis
One of the most curious tendencies of human beings and one I’ve fallen prey to myself is the desire and even habituation to changing one’s state. We chase feelings in so many ways.. drugs, sex, money, power… Some part of us craves a break from the ordinary, possibly even more so in the circumstances manyContinue reading “The Primal Mind: Hypnosis”
The Primal Mind: Language
One of the more fascinating ideas regarding the primal mind vs the domesticated mind is the difference in our use of Language. It may be that our Ancestors used much more of the thinking capacity than modern humans do today. Consider for a moment, Memory Competition, an obscure game which pits brain against brain inContinue reading “The Primal Mind: Language”
Primal Mind-Body
Considering the Primal Mind, how does it connect to the body? Without the mind-body feedback we would not have made it to the point we are now. The point where we could begin to forego such things.. For example, the way our feet have become.. Compare the sensory information an average human gets from theirContinue reading “Primal Mind-Body”
Primal Mind vs. Blunted Awareness
Blunt Force Trauma.. Sounds intense right? It may be the worst way to catch a beating.. I mean get to the point right!?… Would we like our minds to be sharp or blunt? Most people would prefer a sharp mind to a dull one.. A sharper awareness of our body and environment instead of aContinue reading “Primal Mind vs. Blunted Awareness”
You Can Feel It, You’re Electric
The idea of Chi fascinated me ever since I was a child watching Kung Fu movies and anime. The amazing feats that Shaolin Monks were capable of captivated me and led me towards a greater idea of what might be possible. Chi was defined to me as BioElectricity, which was certainly vague and difficult toContinue reading “You Can Feel It, You’re Electric”
The Power of the Pose
A good pose is timeless.. The human form has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years, refining the connections in our Fascia towards one primary objective, upright gait. This is the movement human beings (like us 🙂 used to gather food, escape predators and take our place at the top of the food chain. BodyContinue reading “The Power of the Pose”
Dysfunction; The Silent Menace
Now that we’ve spoken about Fascia and how it permeates the entire body. Know that as I mention “muscles” I’m referring to locations in the Fascial web, not separating them. It’s an arbitrary distinction much like the countries on Planet Earth, it helps to describe what’s happening but it’s all one thing. That said weContinue reading “Dysfunction; The Silent Menace”
Becoming A Good “Driver” (body as vehicle)
When I first started driving at age 17, I never imagined I never stopped for a moment to consider that I might get better at driving with more experience. I thought driving was simple enough and as long as I passed the Driver’s Test, there’s nothing else to think about.. Later I would come toContinue reading “Becoming A Good “Driver” (body as vehicle)”
