The Body Remembers: Fascia, Frequency & the Liquid Language of Healing…

We often think of muscles as meat—dense, solid, mechanical. But this is a misunderstanding. The human body is not made of parts. It’s made of patterns, rhythm, and flow.

Muscles aren’t solid—they’re liquid in nature. They’re composed of water, fascia, blood, and viscera, all intertwined in a shimmering matrix that holds not only posture and movement, but memory and meaning

This isn’t just metaphor. It’s biology.

Fascia is the Body’s Recording System

Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps every organ, every nerve, every bone. It’s made up of collagen, elastin, and water—lots of water. This watery matrix conducts information, not just physically but energetically. It holds emotional residue, muscle memory, and even trauma that hasn’t been released.

As Dr. Candace Pert, author of Molecules of Emotion (goodreads.com overview), discovered, emotions are not just psychological—they are chemical messengers, encoded in neuropeptides that bind to receptors throughout the body. Our “molecules of emotion” are stored in tissues. The body feels what the mind can’t yet explain.

Pair this with Dr. Masaru Emoto’s groundbreaking The Hidden Messages in Water research (see masaru‑emoto.net), which shows that water crystals change form when exposed to different words, sounds, and intentions—and you begin to see the body not as a static container, but a living, resonant vessel. A liquid language is always speaking beneath the surface.

Trauma Lives in the Tissues. So Does Hope.

This is why children who’ve experienced fear, loss, or instability may carry tension in their bellies, stiffness in their spines, or a lack of breath in their ribs. The body becomes armor. But armor can melt.

When we move, breathe, sound, and play with intention—when we give children tools like Word Rocks™ and the Motion of Emotion™ curriculum—we’re not just teaching them to stretch or “feel better.”

We’re tuning their frequency. We’re showing their fascia a new rhythm: one of safety, love, and joy.

Movement becomes medicine. Words become anchors. Water becomes a mirror. And slowly, the nervous system softens. The trauma unravels. The child begins to shine.

Ride the Reformer: Frequency Through Fascia

At the heart of my practice—and my philosophy—is the Pilates reformer. More than just equipment, it’s a tensegrity-based platform (thank you, Buckminster Fuller) that realigns your internal architecture.

When used with intention, breath, and classic Pilates principles—concentration, control, centering, precision, and flow—it does something extraordinary:

It doesn’t just stretch muscles.

It doesn’t just tone the body.

It recalibrates your frequency.

Each reformer session is an act of internal resonance. Through closed-chain, breath-driven opposition, you are reshaping fascia, oxygenating viscera, and realigning bones—literally tuning your internal instrument.

You’re also massaging your internal organs, giving them space to breathe, move, and release. Twisting, inverting, elongating—you’re allowing the organs to shift, stretch, and self-correct. Supported by springs or straps, these inversions are safe decompression movements.

Unlike freeform movement or yoga, the reformer offers guided resistance. You’re always within your frame—your box, your architecture. And within that sacred structure:

The reformer doesn’t just sculpt your abs or glutes.

It’s a frequency machine—attuning every layer of your being.

Like a tuning fork for your whole self—physical, emotional, mental, and yes, even spiritual.

So if you walked into class feeling defeated? You’ll leave feeling effervescent, clear, recalibrated. When done mindfully, reformer work activates your inner physician.

Thank you, Buckminster Fuller, for teaching us about tensegrity—the balance of tension and integrity.

Ride the Reformer.

Every day if you can.

It keeps the doctor away—and it keeps the soul attuned.

From Ants to Animals: Resonance Is Everywhere

It’s not just humans. The entire living world speaks the language of frequency—and it’s carried through water.

Even ants, spiders, and crickets—creatures we often overlook—are water-based beings. Their internal systems are fluid, vibrational, responsive. They may wear exoskeletons, but they’re still liquid on the inside—like us.

So do our animals.

On the farm, my dog Zoey is a daily teacher. She’s not aggressive—but she’s discerning. She reads frequency. She trusts women and children instantly. When a stranger enters my property emitting fear, confusion, or dominance? Zoe senses it immediately and responds.

The horses are even more refined.

In my Conscious Contact™ work, I guide leaders into the round pen. No reins. No bridles. Just one question:

Can you lead without force?

Can you become the trusted leader of a 1,200‑lb being using only presence?

The horse doesn’t care about your degrees or income or followers. It wants to know:

– Are you clear?

– Are you congruent?

– Are you grounded?

– Can it trust you?

If not, the horse walks away. No judgment. Just truth.

But if you are present—calm, coherent, and attuned—the horse will follow.

Freely. Willingly. That’s not obedience. That’s resonance.

Bless the Food, Bless the Frequency

When we pray over our food—especially as a family or community—we’re not just observing tradition. We’re shifting frequency.

Prayer is vibration. It’s intention in motion. Speaking words of love, gratitude, or reverence changes the internal chemistry of our food—and ourselves.

This isn’t just about faith.

It’s about fascia.

It’s about frequency.

It’s about flow.

To pray is to attune.

To recalibrate into the highest good.

That’s why we bless our meals. It’s not just politeness. It’s science.

It aligns our 70%-water bodies with the vibration of grace.

Kids can learn this too—no matter what lunch options they have. If they sit, breathe, and speak a blessing, they are transforming the resonance of what they eat. They are reclaiming sacred nourishment.

No wonder Christ had so many followers. He showed us the power of ritual: “Take, eat, this is my body…” A vibrational act. Grace as frequency.

So when we pray before meals, we are participating in a sacred science.

Bless your body.

Bless your breath.

Bless your food.

And watch everything change.
