Vela Healing Arts

Here's a little fact you might have heard before: Humans are around 70% water. About the same percentage as a sweet potato, incidentally. But what does that actually mean? Sure, there's blood, that accounts for some of it. And the lymphatic system has a fair amount too, sloshing around. There's water in each of our cells. But that doesn't add up to the full 70% - where is the rest of it?

In 2018, a scientific paper was published which gives a tantalising clue. The authors revealed for the first time that our 'interstitial spaces' - those gaps, between our bones and joints and all of our organs - spaces which are often somewhat sidelined in conventional anatomy - those spaces were full of a kind of soft, gel-like liquid. Flowing around the body. Bringing essential substances to where they're needed. Connecting all the disparate parts of us and communicating between them. They called this massive, fluid-filled system 'The Interstitium', and suggested that it might be a brand new, previously undiscovered organ.

This moist, fibrous network seems to be important, in ways we still don't quite understand. It seems to have a key role in so many of our body's essential functions, from wound repair, to the maintenance of our body-clocks, to the spread of cancer from one tissue to another. And it's everywhere.

Emily Knight takes a journey deep into the human body, into the ocean within us, the spaces in between the things we think of as 'us'. And discovers the way it flows, and the things that flow through it.

👀 Watch this space closely: I'll be posting more here very soon. In the meantime, I just wanted to share that I'm proud to have my cozy, healing office in Hardwick and to be part of the Hardwick Downtown Partnership.

There are so many great businesses and things to do in Hardwick. Whistle Emporium, The Cork & Fork, The Galaxy Bookshop, Buffalo Mountain Food Coop, Front Seat Coffee, The Village Restaurant, The Civic Standard, Raven's Nest , Positive Pie in Hardwick, and many more!

My office is tucked away on the second floor of the historic Hardwick Inn, pictured below many decades ago. But other than the color (now a sunny, cheery yellow) and newer cars, the place still looks mostly the same. 🙂

Looking forward to seeing you for a craniosacral session in Hardwick. If you're further afield, I also offer remote/distance sessions over my HIPAA-compliant video call system, or Zoom, or phone--whatever works best for you. Book your session on my website: http://www.velahealingarts.com or straight from this page. Sliding scale offered.
