Visceral Fascia Release - This is the gentle self-massage for internal freedom. Your organs aren’t floating freely inside you — they’re wrapped, supported, and suspended by fascia, which connects to your spine, ribs, pelvis, and diaphragm. When that fascia becomes tight from stress, inflammation, surgery, posture, or emotional holding, it can pull your rib cage, restrict breathing, affect digestion, and even limit your range of motion in unexpected areas. By gently releasing tension around your belly and diaphragm, you not only help your organs “breathe” better, but you also improve blood and lymph flow, calm your nervous system, and create space for emotional release. Enjoy your practice! 💡 Before you start — take your “before” test! You’ll be surprised. 1. Sit on the edge of a sofa, bench, or bed. 2. Bring the soles of your feet together (or adapt if that’s not comfortable). 3. Sit tall, then fold forward without forcing. Notice how far you can go — this is your starting point. After practice — Re-Test Sit back up and repeat your forward fold.Notice if you have more space without touching anything in your groin or hamstrings — this is your visceral fascia letting go. 📸 Share your progress and tag @maielements! Extra Notes: - Avoid practice on a full stomach (wait at least 2 hours after eating). - Avoid deep abdominal work during menstruation or with certain medical conditions — listen to your body. - This can be a beautiful pre-bedtime ritual to calm the mind and support deep sleep. - Emotional releases are normal — breathe through them, extend your exhale, and allow your system to settle. ✨ This practice is part of Week 2 in our MSA monthly challenge. We began with external breathing and have now prepared the nervous system enough to go deeper into internal release.If you’d like to join our daily step-by-step practices and learn small but deeply meaningful holistic healing tools each day — you’re welcome to join us!

Do you have a resource or video on releasing this area? It’s causing my nervous system to feel restless anxious and on edge. It keeps me wired and it’s affecting my digestion. Thank you. I tried seeing my chiropractor but it’s so tense it won’t adjust. I also can’t sleep well, it’s keeping me from staying asleep.
