Fascia gives structure to the body. It creates boundaries between different organs,muscles, blood vessels,.... Its fluidity, free nerve endings, the way it connects every single structure into a sense of wholeness and the way it stretches even beyond the body and connects us all together, it holds us together in the real sense.
It creates a soft, smooth surface for organs to glide over each other without causing friction. It generously sacrifices its fluid nature to contain traumatic imprints so that our survival is taken care of.
When you love your fascia well by staying hydrated and doing gentle movements, and restoring its true healthy nature, it will bless you beyond your wildest imaginations.
We almost always attribute the quality of intelligence to the brain. But fascia is that silent, introverted intelligent part of us who doesn't care about performance or validation and is focused on problem solving all the time.
Confluence of 5 elements - Fascia is a magical land of earthy tissues. Healing and nourishing fluids flow through it in ways that can't meet our eyes. Fiery sparks of the nerves showcase their fireworks on its surface. The invisible air breathes itself through the fascia. While the silent ether feels proud of itself for holding space for this true miracle called fascia.
Can we appreciate fascia with a relational touch? The fascia asks for nothing in return for all the hard core work it does all the time. Can we all offer safety as a reward that fascia truly deserves?
