Episode 69

The second of seven episodes in which I'm talking to health practitioner Piers Gardner about integral (or holistic) anatomy. We continue talking about crystalline structures in bone tissue generating piezo-electrical signals, then move on to blood circulation, the role of the "extra cellular matrix" which permeates the body and how some of these ideas may relate to non-western conceptions of "bio-energy" such as chi and prana.
