Discover the transformative power of light-touch myofascial release in this eye-opening conversation with Peter Stewart, a massage therapist with over 32 years of experience specializing in gentle myofascial release for chronic pain.

Peter shares how this oil-free, intuitive approach—holding sustained gentle pressure to allow the body's fascia to release—differs from traditional massage, and why it often provides deeper, longer-lasting relief. Learn about the science behind it (including piezoelectric effects and recent discoveries on Piezo2 receptors), how fascia connects everything from muscles to nerves and organs, and the role of the nervous system, posture, old injuries, and even emotional trauma in creating chronic tension patterns.

We dive into real-world examples: desk-job posture woes, pelvic imbalances leading to scoliosis-like issues, TMJ from fascial pull, self-care techniques (like prolonged yoga holds, gua sha for hands/plantar fascia), and why the brain "remembers" harmful patterns until gently retrained.

Peter also opens up about the mind-body connection—how mental/emotional trauma imprints in the tissues (inspired by Dr. Peter Levine's work), the importance of breathwork, and why addressing the whole person (not just symptoms) is key to true healing.

Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, tightness, plantar fasciitis, or just want to understand your body's "stuck" patterns, this episode offers practical insights and hope.

Key topics:

• What is myofascial release and how does gentle/light-touch differ from aggressive methods?
• Fascia's role in chronic pain, posture, and whole-body connectivity
• Nervous system influence, brain entrainment, and piezoelectric science
• Self-myofascial release tips, yoga overlaps, and tools like gua sha
• Emotional trauma's impact on physical tension and healing

In this heartfelt solo episode of The Inspired Yogi, host Jim (the Yogi) shares his passion for discussing the divine—affectionately nicknamed "Jody" to sidestep traditional hang-ups. After a three-month hiatus for family matters and personal growth, he's back with a relaxed approach to podcasting, prioritizing joy over schedules. Dive into his unique perspective on God as an omnipresent force: not a judgmental sky-dweller, but an all-encompassing energy of unconditional love, filling every space, atom, and moment—like water to a goldfish. Drawing from yogic texts like the Bhagavad Gita, biblical insights, and even a tale of a God-hating king who found enlightenment through obsession, he challenges listeners to make the divine a daily fixation, regardless of the name. Whether you call it God, the Universe, or something else, join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments. Short, solo, and inspiring—may Jody be with you!
