What is Fascia?
June 7th 2024
Fascia is a sheath of stringy connective tissue that surrounds every part of your body. It provides support to your muscles, tendons, ligaments, tissues, organs, nerves, joints and bones. When your fascia is healthy, it’s flexible and stretches with you. When your fascia tightens up, it can restrict movement and cause painful health conditions.
I recently had an amazing session with my teacher and craniosacral practitioner, Janet Berryhill, of the Heartwood Institute of Integrative Medicine. She worked on the fascia in my body at the bone level. I had an old injury in my knee, a torn meniscus. This injury resulted in me not being able to step or put my full weight on my right knee and over time caused an imbalance at the sacrum, pelvic floor and hips. After the treatment, (the next day) I experienced soreness, increased pain, general malaise, and a whole slew of emotional releases. These are normal reactions to releasing the fascial restrictions. 48 hours after treatment I feel I can stand with my whole weight on my right foot. I can feel my heel and bottom of my foot and I can feel the hip and pelvic bones filling with new blood (a sensation I did not even know I was missing). My emotions have balanced and I feel a new sense of clarity around this injury and all the fear and sadness that was stuck in the hip and knee area has dissolved. This is subtle and profound work and I am so glad to be able to offer this modality to others who are suffering from chronic pain.
Thank you Janet for your wisdom and beautiful healing work you do!
There was a Super Full Blue Moon last night. It just so happened to fall on our sacred fire ceremony. It was such a beautiful night outside sitting by the fire, the weather starting to get cooler in the evenings. Looking forward to the fall fires and to this powerful time to manifest and co create together in community. We meet every other Wednesday see Events page for details.

I was driving with sweetgrass in my car and could feel the most beautiful energy. I turned on my phone and took this picture. While going back to look at pictures I noticed all the rays of light. I do not have a sun roof. This was a beautiful frequency I could feel and see. I didn’t think it would show up in the picture but what a nice surprise! Thank you sweetgrass!
Fall Equinox
As I write this I am going through my own challenges: fear, hate, confusion, contradictions and self doubt. This seems to be the pattern with the changing of the seasons. I feel it in my bones, it comes up from the cooling of the earth. As the Fall Equinox approaches all the issues, all my challenges are coming up. How many times does this have to happen, I ask myself? How many times do I have to feel these things and let them go? The fall equinox is a time to go inward and a time for letting go. Like leaves falling off the trees, I am letting go of fear, confusion and hatred. AGAIN! What happened? What is happening? Is this normal? It’s hard! I had a powerful summer with lots of powerful and beautiful experiences but at this time all the things I did right are missing from my mind. I am thrown out of balance and the fear is so strong! Even wanting to give up and die, it’s too hard, I can’t do it. I pray for help but seem to be disconnected from Source. There is no love in this space. I’ve been here before, and what I have learned is the only thing that is consistent is change.
So, as the evenings are getting cooler and longer nights are approaching my body knows it is time to prepare for the long winter. The practice is to “Notice how the body feels” well, I noticed and wrote it down. That is how it feels. I wrote it down, the whole truth of it. To be honest, when I started I didn’t even believe it would help, but as I write these words I can feel a lifting. Is that all it takes? Write it down and let it go? I’m surprised again by the power of writing. Sometimes we just have to get over ourselves, get past that thinking mind. Now I will give it to the earth. Let the earth mulch it up and when Spring comes new life will spring from the ground. It’s all energy good or bad, it’s energy and the earth has a magical way of turning death into life. Just like those leaves that fall from the tree, they add nutrients to the soil and give the tree new energy in the Spring. Be blessed everyone, find support if you need it. We are all in this together, we are all one. The more we heal the easier it is for everyone.
Power of Meditation
I did a few meditations on clearing my third eye and when I was finished this blemish appeared right in the third eye location. Do you think this is related? Anyone out there have similar stories?
Fear is an Energy
nervous system
Fear is an energy, a frequency that lives in our body. The energy of fear can get tangled in our nervous system. It can become tiny knots of energy. The knots can be seen or unseen. The knots are old thought forms–thoughts are things. Clearing your energy field is a good practice and helps to raise your frequency. It can help you develop a strong mind, strong body and strong spirit so you become fearless.
