“Everything is connected to everything,” explains Amanda Stencken, PhD, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to discuss the way small movements—rhythmic integrated movements to be exact—can create huge changes in the body. As Amanda explains, during our development in the womb and in our earliest years, our bodies make unconscious movements to help us develop and connect all of our parts to help us function optimally. When these movements, after serving their purpose, fail to phase themselves out, issues ranging from ADHD and autism to anxiety and weight gain arise. 

On today’s episode, Amanda explores the idea that the body stores all of our life baggage in our water, particularly in our fascia. And when we engage in movements that the body associates with safety, we open up pathways to allow for the rapid movement of information and ultimately healing. You’ll hear her explain why we need to learn to slow down, listen to our bodies, and trust that if we learn to give the right inputs, it will take care of the outputs. 

The best news is that it’s never too late to start to heal. Today Amanda and Meredith will share personal stories of healing through rhythmic integrated movements, as well as its benefits to women at all stages of menopause and its effects on trauma recovery. 

Quotes:

• "What a lot of people have figured out from observing babies and kids is that a lot of behavior issues, learning issues, reading disabilities, reading deficits, all go back to primitive reflexes that, for whatever reason, didn’t disappear when they were supposed to. They remained active…So what happens is these reflexes are active until different brain parts are linked up.” (9:20 | Amanda Steencken)
• “The gentle movements that we do in rhythmic movement training, what are those doing? Could it be that those gentle movements are also generating electrons and charging our fourth phase water…could the water associated with that hold safety signals and safety information that got cut off life happens?” (33:03 | Amanda Steencken) 
• “Trauma. Abuse. A surgery. A disease…All these things affect our water, and if our water is so integral to information transmission and to memory storage, could it be that something so gentle as rhythmic rocking… is unsticking the water in us and allowing information to flow again?” (33:41 | Amanda Steencken) 
• “As we go on this journey of true healing, a key part of that is learning the language of the body, learning how to listen. And most of the time the things that the body says in terms of symptoms, pains, so on and so forth are the body’s way of telling us to, ‘Slow down. Chill out. I’ve got what I need. Trust me.” (43:50 | Amanda Steencken)
