1. 0:00Okay, you clicked on this video for a
2. 0:01reason, so just give me a few minutes
3. 0:02and you're going to change your life
4. 0:03right now. What I want you to do is move
5. 0:05your jaw as far as possible to the left.
6. 0:07It seems weird, just trust me, follow
7. 0:09along, let's go,
8. 0:09>> [music]
9. 0:09>> like this.
10. 0:12Now, I want you to do the exact same
11. 0:14thing, but do it to the right, like
12. 0:15this.
13. 0:19Now, while holding your jaw
14. 0:21>> [music]
15. 0:21>> to the right, can you breathe in through
16. 0:24the nose, but imagine the air going
17. 0:26backwards into your [music] face rather
18. 0:28than up into the top of your head? Stay
19. 0:30with me, just like this.
20. 0:43Relax [music] a bit, do the exact same
21. 0:45thing, but on the other side. Let's go.
22. 0:58>> [music]
23. 1:01>> Good, that's perfect. Now, pause for a
24. 1:03second, and what I'd like you to do is
25. 1:05blow up air into both of your cheeks,
26. 1:07like this.
27. 1:10It seems weird, [music] but we started,
28. 1:11so relax your body and keep going. Just
29. 1:13like this.
30. 1:16Now, while holding your cheeks puffed
31. 1:17[music] up, again, I want you to breathe
32. 1:19backwards into the nose, but this time
33. 1:21try and breathe even more slowly on the
34. 1:24way out. Let's go.
35. 1:29>> [music]
36. 1:38>> Good, and then finally, can you place
37. 1:40[music] your tongue on the roof of the
38. 1:41mouth, like this?
39. 1:45Now, that was a weird start to a video,
40. 1:47but if you followed that along, you
41. 1:49should [music] feel a tiny bit calmer,
42. 1:51and that isn't just a trick or placebo.
43. 1:53Your face is directly connected to the
44. 1:56nervous system. The facial muscles are
45. 1:57connected [music] to the trigeminal
46. 1:59nerve, and this trigeminal nerve is
47. 2:01connected to your brain stem and is
48. 2:02partially responsible for shifting you
49. 2:04into a parasympathetic and calm state.
50. 2:07So, unless we physically release tension
51. 2:09[music] stored in our face, unless we
52. 2:11directly open up our airways and improve
53. 2:13[music] our tongue posture, we cannot
54. 2:15truly reset our nervous system, and we
55. 2:18can't truly be present. I know that's a
56. 2:20bold claim, but just think about it like
57. 2:22this. Many times when we're angry, we
58. 2:24clench our jaw. When we're stressed, we
59. 2:26start breathing super quickly. If we're
60. 2:28shy, our head falls down and our
61. 2:30shoulders slouch. So, these emotions,
62. 2:32these experiences that we hold, not only
63. 2:34shape and form our mind, but they're
64. 2:36physically stored within our body. That
65. 2:38is the connection, that is the real
66. 2:40connection between the physical and
67. 2:41mental, and the layer in between this is
68. 2:44the fascia. Your fascia is a layer of
69. 2:46connective tissue that runs throughout
70. 2:47the entire body. It weighs over 22 kg, a
71. 2:50massively significant part of your body,
72. 2:52but no one talks [music] about it. It
73. 2:54has six times the amount of sensory
74. 2:56receptors as muscle tissue, so it's
75. 2:58deeply interconnected with your nervous
76. 3:00system itself, and as a result, our mind
77. 3:02is literally becoming out of touch
78. 3:04[music] with our bodies as the fascia,
79. 3:07the band in between it, becomes tired
80. 3:09and tight. [music] And let's take it one
81. 3:11step further. What is the main mechanism
82. 3:13through which the fascia is hydrated? I
83. 3:15believe, and it's my opinion, that it's
84. 3:16the breath. Without the breath, we have
85. 3:18nothing. And so, every breath we take,
86. 3:20we're constantly fueling our bodies. Of
87. 3:21course, we are, because we're living.
88. 3:23And so, no matter how perfectly we eat,
89. 3:25no matter how calm we think we are, our
90. 3:27breath [music] doesn't lie. And what is
91. 3:29the physical gateway to our breath? It's
92. 3:32your palate. It's your [music] face. The
93. 3:33wider your palate, the better the
94. 3:34muscles in the face, the more relaxed
95. 3:36your face can be, the better you
96. 3:38breathe, the better you look, the
97. 3:40healthier you are, the longer you live,
98. 3:42and the more calm and at peace you can
99. 3:44be, more present you can be. That is the
100. 3:46true connection, I think, between the
101. 3:48physical [music] and the mental, and
102. 3:49that is part of the real way to reset
103. 3:51our nervous system. I'm going to explain
104. 3:53the other part in just a second. If you
105. 3:55don't know who I am, my name is Oscar
106. 3:56Patel. I transformed [music] my own self
107. 3:58from this to this, improving my looks
108. 4:01solely by fixing the real root [music]
109. 4:03cause, which was my health. And at the
110. 4:04same time, I fixed my posture, improved
111. 4:07my sleep apnea, my asthma, my knocked
112. 4:09knees, my overbite, my TMJ, and a lot of
113. 4:13other issues completely naturally. Well,
114. 4:15also, I'd like to think becoming [music]
115. 4:17a bit more present, the best version of
116. 4:18myself in every aspect, and being able
117. 4:21to help a lot of other people around me
118. 4:23do the exact same through this mission
119. 4:25which I've been fortunate to find,
120. 4:26>> [music]
121. 4:26>> which is the idea that health is looks.
122. 4:29Now, we even have the largest
123. 4:30health-based paid community in the
124. 4:31world. Link is in the description, QR
125. 4:33code on the screen. If you'd like to
126. 4:35check it out, if you're curious. If
127. 4:36you'd like more information, and most
128. 4:37importantly, if you'd like
129. 4:38accountability. You'll watch loads of
130. 4:40videos like this, you'll come across
131. 4:41different people, different teachings,
132. 4:42different ideas. In reality, you
133. 4:44shouldn't listen to me or anyone else.
134. 4:45You should only feel resonates within
135. 4:47your body because there is one truth.
136. 4:49The idea that we were all made
137. 4:50perfectly. The idea that we were meant
138. 4:51to be healthy, meant to have wide
139. 4:52palates and well-developed [music]
140. 4:53faces, meant to feel good and feel
141. 4:55fulfilled. But many things in the modern
142. 4:56world are distracting us from the power
143. 4:58that we truly have. So, if you're
144. 5:00curious, you can check it out. There's
145. 5:01many more specifics, routines, and
146. 5:03like-minded people. But, let's get back
147. 5:04to the video. Let me explain part two.
148. 5:06We did a little routine at the start
149. 5:07just to emphasize the importance of
150. 5:09relaxing the face, tongue, and breath in
151. 5:11order to reset our nervous system. And
152. 5:12little routines like that can be useful
153. 5:14[music] to snap back into place. But, we
154. 5:16also need to undo a lot of the damage
155. 5:18that's been created to our bodies and to
156. 5:20our fascia. And the main thing I'd
157. 5:21recommend to begin releasing the fascia
158. 5:23physically are these three points
159. 5:24specifically for the goal of releasing
160. 5:26the nervous system. Firstly, rolling out
161. 5:28the feet. We can take a tennis ball or a
162. 5:29fascia ball and just stand on the floor,
163. 5:32roll out each foot at a time. When you
164. 5:34feel tension on a specific point within
165. 5:36the foot, what I'd like you to do
166. 5:37[music] is pause, breathe deeply through
167. 5:39your nose. Again, always breathe
168. 5:41backwards into the [music] nose because
169. 5:42we have little filters in our nose
170. 5:43called turbinates arranged horizontally,
171. 5:45which allow the air to be filtered,
172. 5:47nitric oxide to improve, and this
173. 5:49happens, oxygenation improves, and as a
174. 5:51result, our body becomes healthier,
175. 5:52functions better. We aren't meant to
176. 5:54breathe up into the top of our heads.
177. 5:56Going like this
178. 5:57is a big misconception that I think many
179. 5:59people don't have enough awareness
180. 6:01about. So, breathe backwards when you
181. 6:02reach a point [music] of tension slowly
182. 6:04and breathe through that spot again
183. 6:05because the breath hydrates the fascia,
184. 6:07and when we find tension, we roll it
185. 6:08out. We need the breath to engage the
186. 6:10nervous system so it can learn a new
187. 6:12resting position and to be safe. So, the
188. 6:14feet are the first point. The second
189. 6:15point I would say is near the back of
190. 6:17the neck. You can place a ball against
191. 6:18the wall [music] and just roll out the
192. 6:20back of your neck. This is a really key
193. 6:21point because again, it's connected to
194. 6:23that trigeminal nerve area, and it's
195. 6:25also near and around the cervical
196. 6:27fascia. In addition, in the modern
197. 6:28world, we [music] constantly are
198. 6:29slouched, we're constantly on our
199. 6:31phones, we're constantly sitting, and so
200. 6:33I guarantee that everyone will feel a
201. 6:34lot of relief on this point. And the
202. 6:35final one I'd say is lying on the floor
203. 6:38and rolling out just below the rib cage
204. 6:39on the stomach. This is a key point cuz
205. 6:41the rib cage needs to expand in order
206. 6:43for the thoracic fascia to glide,
207. 6:45cervical fascia to release, the tongue
208. 6:47to rest against the roof of the mouth,
209. 6:48and the physical body to become tight so
210. 6:50that the nervous system can relax.
211. 6:52[music] I'd say for each point, go in
212. 6:53intuitively, spend as much time on each
213. 6:55point as you'd like until you feel
214. 6:56[music] tension, breathe slowly when you
215. 6:58do feel the tension, and then move to a
216. 6:59different point. I'd say the entire
217. 7:01routine should maybe take 5 to 10
218. 7:02minutes per day. Obviously, if you have
219. 7:04different goals, you can tailor
220. 7:05different points of your body. You can
221. 7:07even try rolling out your entire body.
222. 7:08People have different deficiencies and
223. 7:10different things to focus on [music] and
224. 7:11re-correct, but I'd highly recommend
225. 7:13doing this at least three times a week,
226. 7:15and you'll make a lot of progress.
227. 7:16Equally, you'll improve your body
228. 7:18posture, hopefully relieve a bit of
229. 7:19pain, and this will all tie back in to
230. 7:21being healthier, breathing better, being
231. 7:23calmer, and also looking better because
232. 7:25remember, health is looks. If we release
233. 7:27the fascia and structurally are
234. 7:28healthier, the only reason we find any
235. 7:30individual traits of the face or certain
236. 7:32postures attractive is because they're
237. 7:34healthy, [music] because we're
238. 7:35biologically hardwired in this way. So,
239. 7:37if we truly tackle the root cause, we'll
240. 7:39tackle about eight birds with one
241. 7:41singular stone. Efficiency at its
242. 7:43finest, I think so. [music] So,
243. 7:45hopefully this was useful for everyone.
244. 7:46Here are a lot of transformations for
245. 7:48people in the community. I'd always like
246. 7:49to highlight them and commend them for
247. 7:50just being absolute legends. I'm so
248. 7:52grateful for the community for all the
249. 7:53people. I'm grateful for all of you
250. 7:55watching this video. I hope you took
251. 7:56some value for this. Hopefully this is a
252. 7:58new [music] perspective. I believe that
253. 7:59a lot of people are going to be picking
254. 8:00this up very soon. So, I'm glad that you
255. 8:02guys are amongst the first to take
256. 8:04action upon it. Go for it. Become the
257. 8:05best version of yourself. And if you
258. 8:07like more information, you're more than
259. 8:08welcome to join the community. I believe
260. 8:09that's everything. If you're still
261. 8:10watching, I'm not sure why, but I would
262. 8:12like to say
263. 8:15thank you.
