If there’s one thing about me, it’s that I’m besties with precision. Ambiguity…don’t know her.
So, when phrases like “fascia connects us to All There Is” pour out of my fingers, I stop and think…what does that even mean?
I don’t want to give you vague statements that sound appropriately mystical but leave you feeling empty. You need something to sink your teeth into — something that has nearly tangible meaning and application to you.
When I’m reading your fascia story and experiencing those connections, this is what I see:
What is Fascia?
What most of us know about fascia is that it’s the connective tissue that holds and provides form and space for everything within us. It connects each part of our body in an unending “sheet” of support.
Older models likened it to layers of plastic wrap.
Newer models understand the collagen-based nature of this tissue and will use a lot of words like triple-helix, metaphasic, polymorphic, piezoelectric, and viscoelastic.
What this means is that fascia is actually a braided fiber that is both filled with (experts disagree about how liquid inside the fascia acts, but this is helpful) and surrounded by fluid (hyaluronic acid). It can morph through a few different phases, whether there’s pressure or tension on its structure. It can accumulate an electrical charge, and it can stretch and become plasmatic.
In short, fascia is a braided, fluid-filled, of connective tissue that surrounds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle. It connects to the cells through integrins and wraps around your mitochondria, , and because of its continuous structure, fascia connects every Realm to every other.
It’s a metasystem that doesn’t belong to one Realm — it belongs to all of them and none of them.
How to Read Your Fascia Story
When I view fascia energetically, I’m reading your fascia story — it shows up like a spiderweb of energetic vibrations. A continuously fluctuating hologram that can appear scrambled, ripped, corded, bundled, knotted, or too loose.
In each place where it looks distorted, there’s an opportunity to release that distortion and bring it back to the shape it naturally wants to have.
Every person has a connective tissue composition that’s a mix of collagen and elastin fibers, and this impacts how you experience the world.
Collagenous tissue is dense like a rubber bouncy ball — tougher, closer together, with clearer physical boundaries. People with dense fascia have more natural access to their fight response and tend toward explosive movements.
Elastic tissue is stretchy, like hot taffy — more permeable with natural flexibility and space. This can make you more sensitive and empathic, but also more prone to freeze responses.
Some people can reach out and connect to exactly what they need from the field, like plucking fruit from a tree. Others have a more playful relationship, weaving connections like the wispiest spider web.
Neither is right or wrong — it’s just how your fascia shapes your connection to All There Is.
When Your Fascia is Calling
Your fascia might be ready for attention when you feel out of place, when something feels just out of reach, when you’ve made a big leap but feel disconnected from your magic, or when you’re preparing for a huge life change.
The knots and distortions are energetically stressful, but they need to feel supported in order to release. You cannot force fascia into a different shape — it’s an opening created by invitation and subtlety.
Your fascia knows the shape it wants to return to. Your job is to create space for it to unfold.
