There is one notable flaw in the study I cannot resist highlighting: the control groups are kind of terrible. They can’t really “control” anything. Ashar et al. told the people in the placebo group that the injections were saline solution, so … yeah, not actually a placebo control there.4 And the usual-care group had the same problem they always do: you can do literally anything to people that’s “unusual,” and it will probably outperform “usual,” and that doesn’t mean it’s effective. Dr. Edzard Ernst called this design “unethical pseudo-science.”

Thank goddess for free will. Just hard within systems of oppression. Free will is variable within a world that is hinged on global oppression and social control.

Bubbling up as we go.... foam of existence.

Marvelous

Please advise! When choosing an exercise program for early childhood training do you think table tennis would be a good choice for keeping the fascia in good shape? The challenges of modern living to fascia are relentless and acute, TY for your work in this area‼️🤗💖

Robert is such an inspiration

Just had to watch this Part 1 after watching Part 2. Both are great! Nice to hear Katherine's life stories while still refreshing to hear the more familiar academic ones. Thanks for the great job, to both the host and the guest!!

Awesome

1:11:29 I believe that consciousness exists in water 💦 🌧️

1:05:40 How lovely to see this side of you, Zevi

This is terrific! Thank you Dr Schleip - for your work and connecting other researchers, practitioners, and fields is brilliant! 😊

Well, the skin interface between the whole neural monitoring process, and the exterior world also assists your motor choices to respond. The fascia certainly reports your responses. Skin pressure and stretch indicates to brain both your totality of body shaping, while fascial sense refines all the tensions and relaxation as well as immediate motor changes. Sympathetic , arousal, if the assertion is correct, would be afferent in fascia, self-reporting, contributing to the essential efferent precision needed to respond - continuing or relaxing in response to that afferent monitoring. We understand that life is hedonic, with the results of every cell's catabolic energy release, and anabolic building, which induces persistence in a pleasurable manner. I have noted that fleeing mule deer, high jumpers, seem to express precision, and therefore the sense of pleasure, in their motion. Humans in the culture familiar to many, appear not to feel quite as much pleasure in their response to startle. But that is surely not universal, as i notice immediate pleasure, too quickly for it to be initially hormonal, in reflexive motion. Dr. Schleip refers to the inherent pleasure of sensing motion, stretch, and of perception itself. The Feldenkrais and other mentioned therapies appear to be social ( because others direct or touch) methods of ending misattributions we make that distress us. Sympathetic as you know, is involved in changing state suddenly in response. Thus interpretations of distress are common. The calming intent appears aimed at changing those misattributions. Young animals burst into action, exuberantly. So can we, without the less pleasant competition response. Since earliest memory, i find play to be more openly pleasurable than competitive focus. Success is surely pleasurable, at any action. But zero-sum, win- lose interactions seem FAR LESS pleasurable than do harmonious, as dance. Thus i appear to be outside cultural norms, completely uninterested in football or the rather sadistic "keep-away" games so popular among members of the major culture of the human world. Only professional dancers, surfers ((OUTSIDE of the ridiculous competition into which it, like so many actions, like climbing, has descended!), and others interacting with environments and physics, or pure social play without claims of win/loss, seem to be involved in unalloyed pleasure.

Hi Ian! I just found your channel. I have developed the ability to sense inside my body. It took me a while to determine that I am sensing through the connective tissue. It's been a slow expansion of self-awareness from very little, to awareness of my emotions, then the physical sensations underneath the emotions, then inside the body itself. I can now sense even inside the bones in my jaw and cheeks, and release tension with focused attention (I hear and feel it release). My skull bones have actually shifted into more alignment through this. Robert Schleip talked about the tightening of connective tissue over the years and I agree - I think that is why we tend to shrink as we get older. Through this release of tension I have now grown (actually de-compressed) 3/4 of an inch in my 50s. I've shared my story on many podcasts if you would like to hear more, but it would also be fun to have a conversation to compare notes!

Brilliant episode!

Thank you for this. I recently had a rhomboid fasciotomy procedure and I’m on my way to healing and being strong again.

Excellent interview, thank you to both ❤

Great Interview & Insight~!! Thank You~!! ~For these wonderful discoveries & offerings in sharing ~ so we can share your dedicated research & I think it was reflected beautifully when it was said how rewarding sharing & inspiring others to pursue & explore further & w/such Grace, Joyful & Humble Gratitude~& a debt of which we owe this fine Dr. & his insightful interviewer for this very enlightening & promising information & well-done presentation~!! THANK YOU~!!👌😉🙌☄️✨🕊️🎆💟🎆🕊️✨

I wish Nathan would have had his spinner on during this podcast...😅

Excellent interview...covers the emotional facet of vision...thank you

Somatics!

Awesome! ¡Gracias! Thank you 😊

i suggest you fix the sound disbalance b/n you and the doctor

Polyvagal "theory" is garbage pseudoscience.

Swinging is the only exercise for relaxation of eyes muscles, all others are about nothing, worse than that - harmful misconceptions that waste time and clog the brain. Often they still confuse cause with effect, for example, they saw poorly and did not notice the 3D, peripheral, and then for some reason they decided that they should have noticed, and their vision would have improved.

"Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting fascia fascists." - This awesome dude who is legit and chill enough to slap with this joke if he wants to send someone's fascia network into orbit.

So exciting. at 12:46min I find myself wondering how this brilliant question of spatial relationship body to gravity will be modified when remembering gravity is a theory and a lot of natural phenomena defy this theory, e.g. some heavyweight flying insects. Such a fantastic interview! Continuing now.

wonderful information, just superb. so helpful!

Oh, and I should have added, that not only do you not need to reflect on the pre-reflective self, but in fact it it’s non-reflectiveness is intrinsic to its nature. The moment it has been reflected on it becomes transmuted into an object of consciousness - i.e., it changes from a self-as-subject to a self-as-object. Thus, for qualitative characteristics to belong to this form of selfhood - e.g. perspectivalness, mineness etc - they must be an intransitive, intrinsic part of experience, not the product of conscious intention!

Thank you so much for having us Ian! It was a real pleasure. p.s. for those interested in the pre-reflective bodily self, please do check out the work of Dorothée Legrand (2006, 2007), as well as Legrand & Ruby (2009) and Christoff et al. (2011). She, perhaps better than anyone else, has elucidated the notion of the bodily self-as-subject (I.e. that is not the object of intentional consciousness) and tied it to sensorimotor integration. Furthermore, she offers an interesting perspective divergent from Metzinger’s self-model theory of subjectivity, which is certainly not the only approach to minimal (bodily) selfhood - although it does provide a useful spectrum of self-consciousness that permits the notion of oppositional self-modelling. I have written about this briefly in other work - e.g. Parvizi-Wayne et al. (2024) on flow states.

Whole body vi ration plates have been huge help to this highly medically damaged body. I do 50 minutes total throughout the day. It affects my mood if I miss.

Would double mastectomy and reconstruction cause massive effects on facia? I had huge issues with parasympathetic system since that day, gained 26 pounds overnight, and body temp dropped a couple degrees. Drs were not concerned. Things that help massage, whole body vibration, heat, humming, deep breathing. Anything that helps stimulate and support my vagus nerve. I wonder if it was damaged in the surgeries.

very low myopia, i use glasses on TV and ouside, no glasses need for anything else. if i start using reading glasses on the PC would that help heal my eyes? would a very weak +0.50 help or a need stronger reading glasses?

Amazing. Simply amazing

Amazing interview, thank you!

Brilliant, smart and happy man full of important information. Great interview

What happens to create defective proprioception defective in different parts of the body? Does anyone know? Is anyone studying this? What cures has anyone found to work for the loss of proprioception in one side of the body, for example? Who is the current authority on the subject?

This interview is a treasure box!! Thank you so much 🏵

I dont get why you constantly need to express your opinions and that too in detail instead of asking questions and letting Yoni speak. I was hoping to learn more about PRT from Yoni than your opinions.

A lie is a lie, but fooling people is bad.

I do appreciate that someone is studying an area of healing that could help so many people. I was told by my current osteopath that sometimes you have to live with pain for the rest of your life after a rear end car accident. I don’t accept that fate and will keep searching and trying new things. Same with emotional trauma. They won’t win in the end. Thank you!

Great video! Very well explained with the right mixture of science and easy to practice exercises.

…. Like playing tennis.

This is both a demanding and remarkable conversation about Active Inference, which I've been struggling to understand in the context of my work as a coaching supervisor. The interplay between Ian Tennent's deceptively simple questions and Daniel Friedman's instant grasp of, and reflections on, their underlying meaning is a joy to behold. Every answer adds another piece to the jigsaw. Although its conciseness meant I had to go through it slowly, line by line, to get it all, it has been well worth the effort.

45:54 I did polar bear swim in Feb in East Tawas Michigan on Lake Huron in 2000. I had very very large rush of energy that lasted for hours after.

That was a great interview. I loved the way Noah described the way his work was transformed as he reflected about old ways and gain experience in life and work. it all makes a lot of sense. I got inspired to listen my authenticity and my own path. Thank you the questions you asked
