This has been known by Somatic therapists (body therapists) for decades but it's good to see it making mainstream.

Your memories may live beyond your brain, scientists suggest

New research is challenging one of our deepest assumptions about memory—that it exists only in the brain. Scientists are finding evidence that memories may also be stored in other parts of the body, hinting at a far more complex system of information storage than we ever imagined. This discovery opens new possibilities for understanding consciousness, healing trauma, and even treating neurological diseases.

Experiments with cellular memory suggest that certain proteins and molecular structures in the body could carry traces of experience, influencing how we respond to the world. This could explain phenomena such as “body memory,” where people physically react to past experiences even when they cannot consciously recall them. Some studies even suggest that the immune system and other organ systems might play roles in shaping how memories are encoded and expressed.

If true, this reshapes how we see human identity. Memory may not be confined to neurons firing in the brain but could be woven into the body itself. That means healing the body could also help heal the mind, and vice versa. Such insights could lead to new therapies for trauma recovery, degenerative diseases, and mental health conditions, moving us closer to a holistic approach to medicine.

This discovery is both humbling and inspiring. It reminds us that human beings are not simply brains carried by bodies, but fully interconnected systems where mind and matter work together in profound ways. As science continues to uncover the secrets of memory, we may one day learn how to unlock the body’s hidden archives, transforming our understanding of self and the mysteries of consciousness.

We are more than biology.

Scientists Discover Human Body Surrounded by a Field of Light

For centuries, ancient traditions spoke of an “aura” surrounding the human body, a field of energy that shifts with our emotions. Now, scientists using advanced imaging technologies have revealed that this phenomenon is real. Our bodies are surrounded by a subtle field of light that expands and contracts with every feeling we experience.

The research shows that emotions are not just hidden within the mind. They radiate outward, creating visible changes in this luminous field. When people experience fear, anger, or stress, the field shrinks, pulling inward as though protecting itself. But when feelings of gratitude, compassion, or love are present, the field grows larger, glowing more brightly and stretching into the space around the body.

This discovery reshapes our understanding of the connection between mind, body, and energy. It suggests that what we feel does not stay inside us, it changes the environment around us and influences how others perceive our presence. Science is beginning to confirm what many healing traditions have long believed: emotions carry energy powerful enough to affect both ourselves and those near us.

The implications are profound. If love and gratitude expand our energy field, then cultivating these emotions is not just good for mental health, it literally changes the body’s energy signature. It means that acts of kindness, moments of joy, and mindful gratitude are not invisible. They radiate outward, shaping our lives and the world in measurable ways.

This luminous field is a reminder that we are more than biology. We are beings of energy, shaping and being shaped by the emotions we choose to live in. Every thought, every feeling, every act of love changes the light we carry, and the universe around us.

🌙 Better Sleep, Naturally 🌙

Struggling with restless nights? You’re not alone—1 in 5 Americans experience chronic sleep deprivation. But what if the key to deep, restorative rest isn’t found in a pill bottle?

✨ CranioSacral Therapy (CST) offers a gentle, hands-on approach that helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and invite the body into a state of profound relaxation—making restful sleep possible without the side effects of sleep aids.

🧠Research even shows CST can help regulate the autonomic nervous system—the body’s built-in switch between stress and rest—supporting not just sleep, but digestion, mood, and overall health.

🛌 Sleep is more than downtime; it’s when your body heals, your brain resets, and your well-being thrives. Ready to experience the difference?

The link between jaw and pelvis.

When there’s tension or misalignment in the jaw whether from clenching, TMJ dysfunction, or altered bite it changes head posture. Your body compensates to keep balance, often by tilting the pelvis or shifting your weight.

If your jaw is clenched, chances are your pelvic floor is either overactive or not firing properly. This affects posture, breath control, and how your nervous system regulates tension.

1. Jaw Clenching is a Postural Habit
Your jaw is wired to react under stress. The more it clenches, the more your head shifts forward, forcing your entire posture to compensate.

2. Tension Travels Down the Line
Stress in your jaw sends strain down your neck, spine, hips, and even your knees and feet. It never stays local.

3. Pelvic and Spinal Shifts Follow
When your jaw locks, your pelvis often tilts or rotates to restore balance. That can show up as back pain or one-sided hip tightness.

4. This Affects Every Step You Take
If the jaw is locked, breathing changes, balance is off, and your walking pattern breaks down. You feel it in your joints, but it starts at the top.

Most people don’t realize your jaw and pelvis are linked. Not just through posture or movement habits. Over time, these small changes can show up as chronic hip pain, pelvic instability, or forward head posture.
There’s also a functional link: the jaw and pelvic floor are both involved in how your body stabilizes the spine. They’re part of your core system.

In a surprising breakthrough, scientists have discovered that human cells can actually hear sound and respond to it. Research shows that certain cells detect vibrations and convert them into biological signals, influencing their behaviour and function.

This groundbreaking finding challenges previous assumptions that cells operate independently of auditory cues, revealing a previously unknown layer of communication within the body. Cells exposed to specific sound frequencies demonstrated changes in gene expression, growth patterns, and even signalling pathways, suggesting sound could one day be used to influence health at a cellular level.

The discovery opens exciting possibilities for medicine and biotechnology. Future therapies could harness sound waves to promote healing, improve cellular function, or even target diseases with unprecedented precision. Scientists are now exploring how different types of sound affect various cell types and how this knowledge could lead to non-invasive treatments.

Understanding that our cells can “hear” may revolutionise the way we approach health and disease, offering innovative tools for therapies and preventive medicine. The human body may be more attuned to its environment than we ever imagined.

Your jaw and posture..

Your jaw tension is literally crushing your breathing and destroying your posture from the inside out.

The masseter muscle (your jaw) shares a neurological highway with your diaphragm and pelvic floor they’re all connected through the same fascial chains and nervous system pathways.

Here’s what happens when your jaw is clenched:
•Your diaphragm can’t fully expand, reducing oxygen by up to 30%

•Your pelvic floor compensates by over-tightening, creating lower back tension

•Your entire core becomes rigid instead of responsive

•This creates a domino effect: tight jaw → shallow breathing → weak core → poor posture

The Science: 1️⃣ Trigeminal nerve (jaw) → 2️⃣ Vagus nerve (diaphragm) → 3️⃣ Pelvic nerve → 4️⃣ Postural collapse

With a clenched jaw: Your diaphragm stays elevated, your pelvis tilts forward, creating that hunched-over “tech neck” posture.

With a relaxed jaw: Your diaphragm drops fully, your pelvis stabilizes, your entire spine decompresses.

Most people try to “fix” their posture by pulling their shoulders back. That’s like trying to fix a foundation by painting the roof.

The REAL fix? Release the jaw tension that’s hijacking your entire breathing system 24/7.

That’s what I created the 5-Minute Posture Fix giving you a scientifically-designed protocol that targets the jaw-breathing-posture connection in just 5 minutes a day, link in bio ☝️
