Myofascial Release
The following information is paraphrased from Dr. Ervin Laszlo's new book "Science and
the Akashic Field." Dr. Laszlo is considered to be one of the most profound thinkers
alive today. In "Science and the Akashic Field," philosopher and systems theorist Irvin
Laszlo shows how the discovery in physics of the zero point energy field (zpe), which
the Myofascial perspective experiences as being centered or channel 3, is also the
discovery of the universal "information" field that is the source for all of physical
reality. The following is some scattered observations from his book. Dr. Laszlo
considers the impoverished discourse of science has had a negative impact on society
and that the worldview most consider scientific is an antiquated and obsolete view.

"For years scientists and philosophers have stated that the physical brain is the source of consciousness, yet
there is no evidence of this!"
Dr. Laszlo believes that the primary reality is the quantum field or zero point energy field or what he calls the
akashic field. The akashic field, which underlies physical reality, is a vast sea of energy and information that
flows through us and the universe as a hologram. We were taught that nothing travels faster that the speed of
light; however, Russian physicist have discovered "torsion waves" that travel as energy and information at the
speed at the order of 10 to the 9th power that means on billion times the speed of light!
Remember, being centered is the timeless, spaceless dimension accessed through the subconscious via our
intuition that allows us to access the holographic field that is the memory of the universe, i.e. akashic field or
universal wisdom.
In discussing how the zero point energy field performs in the living organism, Dr. Laszlo states that the living
organism is not a mere biomechanical machine, the traditional paradigm. A living organism is dynamic and fluid
with all components in instant and continuous communication. This kind of instant, system-wide
communication cannot be produced by the traditional view of solely physical and chemical interactions among
molecules, genes, cells and organs. The speed with which activating processes spread throughout the body
makes reliance on biochemistry alone insufficient.
"The conduction of signals through the nervous system cannot proceed faster that about 20 meters per second
and cannot carry a large number of diverse signals at the same time. Yet there is evidence that the entire
organism acts as one." This instantaneous communication flows through the fluid of the body in and around the
microtubules of the fascial system. "It has been found that this instantaneous communication is at 20,000 times
the speed of light, relativity theory's supposedly unbreakable speed barrier." to summarize, the fluid within and
around the microtubules of the fascial system (the container of our mind) carries almost instantaneous energy
and information throughout so we can function as a coordinated, balanced whole.
The fascial system is the primary communication system with the much slower neural system, a secondary
system of conduction. Our innate intelligence flows through the fascial matrix carrying vast amounts of
information, instantly capable of storing far more information than the brain.
Traditional science still clings to the erroneous view that the connective tissue is just an insulator even though
it was proven wrong back in 1941; instead the fascial system is structural three-dimensional web that holds and
conducts liquid, energy, and information. Wet connective tissue is a liquid crystal acting as a semiconductor
that is capable of potentially giving our patients and ourselves access to the wisdom of the universe!
Fear, anger, hate anxiety, alienation and hopelessness are not just feelings. Neither are love, serenity and
optimism. All are physiological states that profoundly affect health. However, as our experience has shown us,
trauma, inflammation, or unresolved emotional holding patterns, dehydrates and tightens the fascial system.
This loss of fluid and the resultant solidification of the ground substance of the fascial system block this
important communication that eventually produces the symptoms of pain, headaches, anxiety, restriction of
motion and disease.
I would like to quote form the book "The Field" by Lynne McTaggart, which states that "In the near future the
idea of using drugs or surgery to cure anybody will seem barbaric. It has been discovered that humans emit
highly coherent photons (the tiniest particles of light). Our DNA uses wave frequencies of this light to drive all
of the physiological processes of the mind/body. New evidence shows the brains conversation with the body
are waves and frequencies rather than with chemical or electrical impulses alone. Our brains are simply the
retrieval and readout mechanism, of the ultimate storage medium, the force field that surrounds us and infuses
with every cell of our body."
"In healthy individuals, the quantum light is highly organized. In people that are ill, cancer patients for instance,
have lost the organization of this internal energy so the subatomic communication between the various parts of
the body has broken down. In effect, their light is going out. It may be that all illness is a kind of scrambling of
the frequency of this energy."
Myofascial Release structurally and energetically opens and rehydrates the human fascial system of liquid light
for the coherent flow of frequency, vibration ,information and organization necessary for the health and quality
of life. I'll ask you again, are you ready to move out of the dark ages of healthcare?
Myofascial Release is a logical expansion of the very roots of the health professions. It incorporates quantum
theory and systems theory into practice, but it does not necessitate the dismantling of traditional healthcare.
Rather, Myofascial Release represents a powerfully effective addition of a series of concepts and techniques
that enhance and mesh with our traditional medical, dental, and therapeutic training. Myofascial Release is not
traditional therapy, nor it is alternative therapy. Myofascial Release is authentic therapy due to the important,
substantial and tangible results it provides on all levels of human existence.
This exciting period of transition poses an important opportunity of us to grow, as human beings while
providing the quality of care our patients deserve, allowing us all to move into authentic living and healing.
