How Trauma Gets Stored in the Body — And Why Breathwork Helps Release It

🌀 Episode Summary:

Trauma isn’t just something we think about — it’s something we store. In this powerful solo episode, MJ dives deep into the science and spirit of trauma storage in the body, and why breathwork is one of the most effective tools for release.

You’ll learn how trauma imprints on the fascia, water content, and even the cellular and genetic layers of the body — and how breathwork creates the safety and space needed for these emotional memories to finally move.

This episode blends physiology, somatics, and spirituality — all grounded in science — to help you understand why your body holds on, and how to begin letting go.

Whether you're on a healing journey or guiding others through theirs, this episode is a must-listen.

🔍 In this episode, MJ explores:

  • Why trauma is biological, not just psychological
  • How fascia acts as an emotional storage system
  • The role of structured water and emotional frequency
  • How cellular memory and epigenetics carry trauma through generations
  • What happens in the body during breathwork
  • Somatic signs of emotional release: yawning, crying, shaking, and more
  • Why conscious breath is a direct portal to healing
