On this episode of The Quantum Biology Collective podcast, the body work community needs to bridge the chasm with updated language that recognizes we are not assembled like machines but formed fully in our earliest days, and continue to grow, or unfold, throughout our lives. \n \nJust as Copernicus once introduced the idea that the sun is the center of the universe, Joanne suggests that our development forms from the heart first. In discussion with host Meredith Oke, she explains that, like stringed instruments, we grow under pressure and emit sound, as well as light and love. Hear her explain why our fascia is like the dark matter we carry around inside of us. \n \nWhen it comes to treating the body we tend to over-intervene and over-outsource rather than allowing time and space. Join today\u2019s discussion to hear how, through her own injury and illness, Joanne learned to listen to and learn from her body, and discover more about the universe as a result. \n \nQuotes\n\u201cWe have a chasm between the world of the being and the world of the body\u2026we\u2019ve reduced the body down to the biomechanical sum of its anatomical parts, its chemical reactions, of stuff, the chemistry of its stuff, and everything was reduced so that it could be understood.\u201d (10:08 | Joanne Avison)\n\u201cThe word \u2018hu\u2019 in \u2018human\u2019 comes from an ancient name for the divine. So, human actually means \u2018divine man.\u2019\u201d (14:41 | Joanne Avison) \n\u201cWe are basically heart-centered. And that\u2019s about as popular as Copernicus\u2019 idea that we\u2019re helix-centric.\u201d (20:49 | Joanne Avison) \n\u201cWhat we\u2019re learning now is that the entire body is actually variations on the theme of a specialized connective tissue because our baseline is completely connected. And if you talk to John Sharkey at length, he talks about the fascia as the black matter of the form, the inner cosmos. So, black matter to the outer cosmos is fascia to the inner cosmos.\u201d (22:39 | Joanne Avison)\n\u201cWe\u2019re already grace incarnate. That beautiful unicellular version of you has everything it needs to become you. It doesn\u2019t go to school to learn how to be an embryo. There\u2019s not an acorn out there that can spell \u2018oak tree.\u2019 Yet, everything needed to form the oak tree is in the acorn.\u201d (27:51 | Joanne Avison) \n\u201cI think the fascia is a matrix of love, light, and sound in the body. And that\u2019s a scientific statement as well as a spiritual one.\u201d (38:54 | Joanne Avison)\n\u201cWhen you come from it as a tissue of love, light, and sound, and you start becoming your own fascia whisperer, you can literally tune into the movement of what I call this \u2018magical inner awareness,\u2019 and you learn to see what it\u2019s saying to you, you learn to hear what it\u2019s saying to you.\u201d (58:51 | Joanne Avison) \n \nLinks\nConnect with Joanne Avison:\nWebsite\njoanneavison.com\nmyofascialmagic.com\nSocials\nFollow on Instagram and Facebook @joanneavison\nJoanne Avison's Books:\nAuthor of Yoga Fascia Anatomy and Movement\nAuthor of Myofascial Magic in Action\n \nBon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off \nhttps://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses \nTo receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day and join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb\nTo find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org\nTo see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com\nFollow on Instagram and Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve\nTwitter: @quantumhealthtv\n \n \nPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/cbb5c396-df69-4044-8509-23c48d866507/RAC-Podcast-1.jpg"}
