Your connective tissue (fascia) is an unbiased, obedient neurological network that assimilates everything you feel, think, speak about, react to, or get excited by. In essence, your attention, which is everything you see and experience playing out in your present reality, is responsible for creating the level of health and well-being your physical & emotional bodies reveal… or lack thereof.

Your connective tissue is always in the process of resonating your physical and emotional experience to reflect your attention on feeling. I call connective tissue a neurological network because it equally responds and reacts to how your brain fires and wires together, effortlessly conforming to your State of Mind. Your body, the way you express yourself (body language), your well-being and imbalances, what you think and why you think it are exhibited in how your connective tissue holds it all structurally in place. In fact, your persona is entirely made possible by connective tissue, because without it, you wouldn’t have facial expressions, pain, pleasure, or a killer serve in tennis.

Just like pregnancy, your physical body takes time to reflect where your attention is directed. The gestation period varies from person to person, but belief is the predominate component for determining how and when your body manifests well-being or imbalance. This is not necessarily a positive trait given how our society is so prone to stress, fear, and reaction in general. However, you’ll always know where your attention has been for the recent and long term past based on what your physical & emotional bodies are reflecting right now.

Indeed, that headache, pain in your neck, or fatigue didn’t just happen. Your experience is in a constant State of Becoming. Most of the time, you’re just too distracted by the circumstances of life to have any connection with the baseline feelings creating your actual experience. What you actually experience often appears as a surprise because you‘re so out-of-touch with how you affect and are affected by your reality.

Feeling (not emotion) is intimately tied into what you physically experience. Feelings are the sensations that ultimately become a specific emotion, labeled condition, or physical expression. You cannot separate feeling from emotion. Equally, you cannot separate feeling from physical sensations and conditions.

Everything at the cellular level is frequency or vibration. That’s why it makes no sense to have your attention focus on the appearances or circumstances of your experience. Rather, your attention should always be alert to feeling, because intangible sensations are what ultimately become your physical and emotional reality. It’s your attention on sensations that makes them tangible. So if your attention is always focused on pain, what do you think your body is in the process of reflecting or becoming?

Key point: Everything at the neurological level is frequency or vibration.

Your beliefs are also frequencies or vibrations. Belief seduces and maintains your attention usually within a very small spectrum of repetitive feelings. Usually those feelings are stress or reaction oriented in nature, because belief is generally rigid, which manifests contraction and limitation in the way you feel. That’s a predominant reason you may typically experience the same physical conditions and emotions over and over again. Belief is also a major component for why most people’s bodies degenerate in such a predictable manner.

Your beliefs are the programs running in the computer system of your brain. The more beliefs and corresponding judgments you attach to your persona, the harder it is to feel clear. Your body is expending so much energy running all your “software” that simple functions of the mental body like circulating blood and pumping your heart are harshly compromised. Your body and emotions go into a state of malfunction of sorts because your brain is producing so many commands for your body and mind to assimilate.

What you feel as a result of this process is a cluttered mind. Your thoughts are so busy trying to organize everything that you effectively experience an endless loop of reacting to your own beliefs and judgments. By reacting to your own thoughts and their related stories playing out in your life, you become literally exhausted, physically and emotionally.

Your mind in its Natural State is a sharp knife. However, after you accumulate enough beliefs and keep your attention on the resulting stories taking place in your reality, your mind becomes a rusty, old, dull knife that couldn’t cut paper. In your day to day life, that means you’re in pain, emotionally reactive, physically drained, and completely immersed in feeling overwhelming sensations of limitation (contraction). Your happiness suffers, your relationships fail to reflect their potential, and your mind is full of noise like a radio picking up thousands of different stations simultaneously. All those signals capturing and inundating your attention keep the knife of your mind dull.

As a massage therapist and creator of the Becoming Bodywork, I can feel the noise of a client whose mind won’t shut up when they’re on my table. Over the years, I’ve developed a simple, but effective exercise that will assist you in reducing the noise you experience by sharpening the knife of your mind back to its Natural State. If you want to cut through the bullshit in your life that’s draining you of feeling inspired, then the sensations you’ll experience on my table are essential to opening back up to who you really are.

You see, most of the programs your brain runs are unconscious clutter.

Unconscious = Not Acknowledged

By never acknowledging your were running these programs (beliefs), they were left on to influence your every decision. When you get on my table, I assist you in acknowledging these feelings or sensations and replace them with a deliberate place for your attention to focus. This allows your brain to stop running the old programs by so acutely choosing where your attention is, rather than allowing it to be directed by unconscious habits and repetition.

Stay tuned for my new book, “Noise: The Self Help Book That‘s a Victims Worst Nightmare” coming out sometime early next year.
