Let’s Get Meta - Physical

In Phi Body we like to have fun and get a little meta-physical and overreach with the idea that poor mechanical loading in the feet while weight bearing (standing, squatting) could even interfere a little bit with the body’s antenna-like bioenergetic properties that transmit ions, electrons, auras, biometric fields, and chakra energy. This is because a “tighter, restricted” liquid crystal matrix (fascial network) may result in “noise” or “interference” in the transmission of these energies to and from the body. What do you think? Weird?! Wild?! Cool?!

Yoga, acupuncture and even chiropractic care can help us possibly see the big picture. In yoga, one is instructed to sit straight and tall so the spine can be a better conduit for chakra energy flow. In Acupuncture, the meridians of the limbs and its Acupuncture points can become “stagnate” (blocked) thereby affecting the balanced flow of “chi” energy up and down the body. Even in Chiropractic philosophy, the flow of “innate intelligence” is believed to become obstructed by issues in the spine that can interfere with its flow. “Grounding” or “earthing” practitioners stand or walk barefoot on grass or soil to absorb the Earth’s negative electrons for its proposed health benefits. Tai Chi and Qi Gong/King Fu practitioners are familiar with how body movement can be used to facilitate the flow of “qi”. And in weightlifting, science has shown that foot position can affect how your nervous system coordinates muscle groups.

In Phi Body we take the idea of foot positioning a little bit further, and propose that when coupled with awareness and certain nuanced cues, you can optimize foot (and even hands) interaction with the ground (Gaia or Earth). Further, incorporating these concepts into your daily activities, your current movement practices, and sports you can even promote better body movement.
