In the embryo, the heart begins its development just beyond the crown,

‘soft tissue component of the connective tissue system that permeates the human body’. One could also describe these as fibrous collagenous tissues which are part of a bodywide tensional force transmission system.”

A great divide began to arise between man and nature, his own nature, due in part, ironically, to the way in which the study of human anatomy eventually came to be sanctioned by the church (see Descartes, later in this chapter). Soft tissue was removed from the physical body when human dissection was eventually permitted. Since it was not recognise

If we sit slumped onto the very back of the sitting bones, with the “tail tucked under”, we are sitting on the sacral roof of the pelvis, instead of allowing the coccyx to float in its natural tensegrity architecture11 and the tail bone to be free. We are effectively following the primal instincts of an animal, wearing our “tail between our legs” i

The three principles of movement and restoration (Ch. 8) are based on how formation, deformation and reformation are happening constantly in what appears as fractal chaos under the skin.

The discovery that the fascia is among the largest sensory organs of the body17 (Ch. 9)

Accusing an anatomist (or several generations of them) of designing anatomy instead of revealing it rocked a very big boat.

Perhaps one reason it is so complicated to learn about levers and human movements is because levers do not represent what actually happens in moving humans. After all, these theories were deduced when fascia was routinely discarded by anatomists. Deduction was made in the absence of the connectivity. Could it be that we incorporate more intelligent

We only ever know a thing by its opposite force, so polarity itself is the essence of our experience.
