Touching Light: How to Free Your Fiber-Optic Fascia

by Ronelle Wood, Gay Hendricks (Foreword)

You have inside you a cloak of gossamer connective tissue that surrounds and supports everything and functions like fiber optics. This tissue is called fascia.In these pages, myofascial release expert Ronelle Wood translates the scientific language for the chemistry, function, and physiology of fascia, shares her hands-on expertise, and explains in layman's terms how our fascia affects us all in everyday life and its potential as a prime source of health and rejuvenation. Gay Hendricks says in his “I’ve been blessed to know many great healers and teachers over my forty-five years in the field of transformation; Ronelle is right at the top of the list of masterful practitioners I’ve known.”Read this book and you’ll no longer perceive your body as a misbehaving slave to be punished into submission, but as a communicative partner—always supporting you.

Love , love, love this

Thank you Ronelle Wood for this honest, straightforward, heartfelt look into the beautiful mystery of fascia, and MFR therapy.

I am indeed inspired to float further into this glowing adventure, and find healing at my own fingertips.

Thank you for showing us all how accessible and simple our restoration actually is. Empowering!!

This a short but very interesting book that has definitely piqued my interest in reading more about the subject.

This was more of a story about how the author became a myofascial release practioner and what that job entails than a particularly informative book on fascia. Nonetheless, one does find out quite a bit about fascia and problems with it (very little about how it transmits light, however, so the title is rather misleading on that). Good food for thought for anyone with chronic pain or other conditions that might be effected by fascia, but far from a definitive guide or how-to. The answer to the question in the title ("how to free your fascia?") seems to be mostly "find a myofascial release practioner and book sessions with them". Perhaps good advice, but was hoping for something more.

The information about fascia and trauma is great for someone new to the topic. Other books to expand on the connection between body and trauma are The Body Keeps the Score and Yoga and the Quest for the True Self.

Easy read

I thought this was a great overview of the less technical and more practical aspects of fascia for people doing bodywork therapy.

Beginning was good but towards the end it wasn’t doing it for me. Brought up a lot of questions to think about.
