Thank you for being educational of our body wisdom. Last week had a challenge with a friend who went to channel 5 during my sharing my shame with in me. Broke my heart, the gift was reconizing my heart was already broken, she did a drive by of giving me a notification of more love, not less love and its importance that I supply that to my wounds that are calling out to be healed.

I love to be in CHANNEL 3 ! ❤ Thank you so much for this presentation.

[@esstherapy]

So glad that resonated with you!

[@rebirth401]

Thank you for this. I plan to be in Sedona this March to begin MFR training.:-)

[@esstherapy]

Good luck! 🧡 It was such a great time and an amazing atmosphere.

The piezo electric component of the facia makes so much sense!

[@SubparFiddle]

Oh wow, I’m just now finding Mr Barnes and he’s blowing me away. I’ve had my own theories about fascia and dr Pollak’s 4th phase water, tying it into nei gong, ashtanga yoga, electric universe, any of the old spiritual/mystic traditions at the core of our current stupid religions. it’s why I’ve been going barefoot in the woods for a year and drinking from a natural spring. I even notice it in a weed that grows in my garden called curly dock that I wouldn’t let my dad pull up because it created a juice that has the same texture as the fascial fluid I see in those old videos… the same texture as seminal fluid or snot. I’ve just known that it’s electric and that it’s the most important thing in the world for some reason lol. And I’m sure Mr Barnes is aware of Michael Levin and his work, and Rupert Sheldrake I see on his reading list. So many ideas, pieces of a big puzzle slotting together… Sorry for the rant but I’m so excited about finding this. I can already tell it’s helping me in my own path of release. Thank you :)

[@esstherapy]

Yes!

[@bich3135]

very insightful. as a person suffering from pain associated with my TMJ, it fascinates me that one of john barnes' initial talks / encounters with anatomical fascia was at a talk for TMD.

[@bschuber]

Thank you for the talk. The biggest question I’m left with is how do people go about trying to treat themselves, similarly to how you discovered these techniques? Is there hope for those who don’t live in countries with myofascial practitioners, or who cannot afford them, is anyone creating virtual teaching content to reach more people who are desperate to find pain relief but will never make it to one of your clinics? Thank you

Must be something wrong with my hearing because I am losing a lot of words from the guest

[@sparkscommunication6430]

Love this new way of seeing the body & healing! I want to take a MFT release 1 course that will b held in my city. If I have no prior knowledge or work in the field of PT or manual work, do you think I can still benefit or is it too advanced and I need other beginner courses?

[@luststat3871]

Honestly, I believe you will be just fine. The most important thing is to have an interest in therapeutic healing. John’s approach teaches intuitive healing more that textbook anatomy or mechanical techniques.

[@ParasTube]

Please tell me some solutions for subacromial bursitis on my shoulder

[@pandymaz1719]

What are your thoughts on covid and germ theory?

[@pattijohnson3338]

Love this how do I get his book

[@Sharon732]

Nice hat

[@hannekebecker3660]

What do you think about Yin yoga?

[@esstherapy]

Yin yoga is great as long as the participant does not "force" into the positions and hold longer than the body can tolerate without discomfort. Many of my self treatment techniques could be considered Yin Yoga. ;-)

❤👋🌺🙏

[@MichaelJerkson]

I can’t tell if what he is saying is true or not bcz he turns his voice volume down half way thru every single sentence he speaks :(

[@amandarecoveryjones8216]

I can't believe anything this gentleman is saying. Sounds a lot like psudeosciene. Channel 3? This smart, passionate, kind woman is wasting her time.

[@Wiggy8]

Um, take your hat off.

[@jkorey]

He’s 85 & a legend. He can wear a hat if he wants 😂
