Ep 148: What Labor and Delivery Nursing Teaches About Anchoring Consciousness in the Body

"Our true nature is vast. And so for us to explore that in a way that the body can tolerate, it has to be this sort of gentle expansion," says Julie Schanno, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to discuss the integration of spiritual practices with biological understanding. A former nurse practitioner, Julie shares her journey from conventional medicine to a holistic approach that combines nervous system regulation, mitochondrial health, and the fluid-fascia system.

Julie explains how our incarnation into a world of scarcity and separation has left imprints of survival in our operating systems, while our true nature remains encoded in our biology. She discusses the importance of bottom-up work in accessing and integrating this information, and how practices like Continuum Movement can help us tap into the intelligence of our bodies.

Tune in to today's episode to learn about the trinity of health - nervous system capacity, mitochondrial voltage, and the fluid-fascia system - and how understanding these elements can support both physical wellbeing and spiritual growth. Julie offers insights on how aligning with natural rhythms can signal safety to our bodies, and why integrating survival energy is crucial for experiencing more coherence in our lives.

5 Key Takeaways

1. Integrate bottom-up practices to build nervous system capacity and process survival energy. This allows for greater presence and ability to handle life's challenges.

2. Align with natural light cycles to support your circadian biology. Exposure to morning sunlight and limiting artificial light at night can improve sleep, hormones, and overall health.

3. Explore somatic practices like Continuum Movement to connect with the fluid intelligence of your body. This can provide access to deeper wisdom and support integration.

4. Balance nervous system regulation, mitochondrial voltage, and fluid fascia health as a foundation for wellbeing and spiritual growth. All three components work together synergistically.

5. Take responsibility for triggered emotions by feeling them fully in the body rather than projecting outward. This allows the energy to move through and be transformed.

Memorable Quotes

"Our body holds the imprint of survival, and it also holds the blueprint of who we are."

"Integration has required bottom-up work and a deepening. This is a process, it's devotional. As long as I'm on the planet, I'm going to be integrating. There is no place to get to."

"The fluid system holds our original true nature. It holds the truth of who we are. And it's also the medium that needs to be healthy so that we can integrate."
