Embodying your fascia in movement.

Time stamps:

0:00 mins

Expand our experience of our embodiment. Embodiment anchors us to our human body and we are all connected by that human experience. The body is a gift to be received and explored.

We notice differences to appreciate that which unites us all.

Embodiment as being present, consciously aware of our bodies and beyond.

Where it all began going from an academic who spent most of his time at his desk to studying massage and anatomy and then moving to the lab and science to exploring fascia - in this atom in the universe and from that the human form.

Bio Gil Hedley

For the past 29 years, through Hands-On Human Dissection Workshops in the laboratory, worldwide lecture presentations, and online events, I have encouraged thousands of fellow "somanauts" to appreciate, explore, and embody the wonders of the human form.

There are plenty of free resources here for those who are simply curious to learn more about our shared human form. For those of you who are interested in deeper and more specific anatomical explorations, my Explorer Membership includes hundreds of hours of continuing education to support your professional work from an Integral Anatomy perspective.

Will AI take your job? Mark gives a thoughtful cultural commentary on AI's impact on embodiment and its community. Why pay a therapist or coach when you can ask AI, right? As homo sapiens our communities and ecosystems respond to touch, nature, presence, group regulation and harmonisation. What has the introduction of trans-humanism or at least human impersonation and the post-human era done to our embodiment and what does the future hold? Mark talks about how he makes human connection and in-person events a consistent part of the Embodiment Unlimited community to ensure the experience can never be reinterpreted by this new Artificial Intelligent dawn.

Therapist Sara joins me to talk grief. We discuss, what grief is, is it a problem, Kubler Ross, what helps, why embodiment was a missing piece, limb loss, divorce, intimacy and grief, suicide, the death of children, and some top tips!

Both fun and sad. A touching one on an underexplored topic.

Sara is a psychotherapist and coach who uses compassionate therapy and somatic work to support people experiencing difficult life transitions, such as bereavement, relationship difficulties, and emotional and physical abuse recovery. She specialises in grief work and complex trauma. Realising that embodiment was the missing piece in her own process led Sara to integrate somatic work with a broad background of therapeutic techniques to help her clients work deeply with their experiences in an environment of safety and acceptance.

Originally from the U.K. Sara is now based in Portugal, as well as running her own practice she teaches workshops, runs a grief support network, and loves to collaborate with other local professionals to create new approaches to difficult subjects.

Manual therapist Julian joins Mark to talk Bowen Technique, fascia, what massage actually is, why touch matters, anatomy and religion, what stretching does, core stability, foam roller, "release", bouldering, and we he doesn't bone in exercise. A iconoclastic one.

About Julian

A former chef from leaving school, Julian Baker has led the most bizarre of lives, ranging from cooking for the Royal Family to running jelly wresting events in the Australian outback and performing stand up comedy in pubs. These days he has turned his attention to disrupting the field of anatomy, challenging the foundations of medicine and the way that undergraduates are taught about the body, believing that "Anatomy is incomplete at best and dangerously wrong at worst." On the other side of the coin, he has been involved in the field of complementary therapy for thirty years and has equal disdain for some of the ideas espoused by the therapy world. "You can't release fascia, it's not a box of doves" being a favourite. He believes that somewhere in the middle, between scientific/medical arrogance and the anti-vaccination movement, lies a beautiful truth that will heal the world.

"By being aggressive you will open yourself up to possible to defeat."

Martial arts teacher Ranko Ceric joins me to discuss aikido, character development, the psychology of martial arts, Sytema, Slavic culture, trauma, training dog owners, and marketing. A wonderful canine stroll.

Being vulnerable or being in a position of power without being abusive.

Seeing power displays in dojo's - it isn't the practice it is the teacher and the culture. Preparation and defence in martial arts and training and learning one style first before mixed for self disciplin. How the training affects the artistry that follows.

What is Eastern European, what's post Soviet and what's trauma and how could we possibly know and understand that level of entanglement through embodiment and play.

Can we make spirituality embodied?

Mark talks about his childhood living in a mystic - catholic household much like any religion has a mystic element to it. He then describes the many variables of what 'spirituality' could be and, the experiences with that such as meditation, state chasing, spiritual intelligence.

He moves on to talk about the recent movement in the West particularly the UK where people have come away from the churches and are exploring other methods of spiritual practice such as yoga, martial arts and tai chi Impersonation of spiritual roots as a way to relearn or to seek a deeper understanding; pagan, religious, indigenous, ritualist, plant medicine, psychedelics or trance states; all elements of ways we may seek to connect that isn't maybe our childhood cultural experience.

What is the connect or disconnect with higher states of spiritual practices and more grounded somatic, psychological examples such as shadow-work.
