Not the first time I've seen Tom but this interview confirms he is the most intelligent, open minded and balanced person I've ever listened to. Great interview N.A.
Unbelievably beautiful man. It was such a great interview, a real pleasure. Thank you Tom Myers for sharing your thoughts and wisdom. Thank you Naudi Aguilar for providing the opportunity.
What an amazing interview. The verbal acuity this man has for conveying his thoughts and ideas is just staggering. What an energy source!. Will be looking at more of his work. Thank you Functional Patterns for this. Namaste x

great interview. I am 44 years old now. In my youth I was in martial arts and sports. I grew up, career and family took over. bad diet and stagnant movement from desk jockey to poor movement as an installer. injury and sickness set in. finally broken and sick. I used the internet to research WHY I felt this way. I changed my diet completely. filled myself with what I am made out of and got better. corrected my posture and discovered movement. I feel 20 years younger. been researching biohacking and biomechanics. movement, framing and learning to transition correctly has changed my life. I believe movement equals resilience. that's why babies are so strong. I have been putting together a movement exploration experience for others and found it hard to find anything not related to workplace ergonomics that teach you how to sit at a desk, not move correctly. such a relief to find a few sites that actually teach working, purposeful movement training. thank you
Tom Myers, I can't tell how much I appreciate your videos, they've turned my whole vision of the body over. I'm currently in the process of becoming a Rolfer. Your words and your way to manifest them have been incredibly useful and inspiring for me to continue in this path. They gave us the anatomy trains body3 book at the course and by reading the first few bits i knew already it was going to be enlightening. I'm so grateful I found out about you, thanks so much
Dr. Meyers is profound. Thank you Anatomy Trains! I began examining my structural imbalances in my late teens and by my early 20's had decided to reverse them. As an existentially motivated kinetic hobby I decided to functionally balance my body's iso-lateral fascial meridians. My awareness has expanded exponentially through this practice.
Wow! This is something far greater then biomechanics, this is stepping into the spiritual realms of integrating body and soul. I've always feld this in the background of anatomy trains courses, but didn't actually knew it was this integrated in the founder. Thanks for putting this out there and you're right, it's so important to spread the consciousness!
Naudi i would greatly appreciate it if you do more of these videos especillay with Tom myers, this video is very imformative, and entertaining. I find this to be very interesting!
Aloha Tom, I don't know if you still read comments, but I needed to let you know how much I enjoy your videos and your eloquent, yet simple explanations about "connection." Perhaps some day we will discover the missing fascia principles to lovingly unite and "connect" peoples of the world. :) As a massage instructor of many years, your teachings have enhanced my own and I don't know where I'd be as a therapist without the "knowledge" and applicaton of myofascial principles. It would be like baking bread without the leavening ingredients. Thanks again.
Having just stumbled upon this video, and knowing nothing of Thomas Myers, it strikes me that he exemplifies the difference between an open minded and an empty minded person. Being neither American nor living in the USA, it’s comforting to think there are still people like this in that beautiful but beleaguered country . . .
Thank you for doing this interview. My first exposure to Tom Myers. Only wish I had seen this a couple of years ago. I'm going to jump into his book right away. Ed
Thank you for the train map, makes sense from a connection point of view and how I have been able to carry things with single fingers using whole arm somehow, breath appears to allow longer periods of activity, I had to teach myself how to breath as I either exhale or inhale but now somehow do both in a circle way.
ㅣloved the whole interview. The egg analogy was brutally scary and realistic since it carries so much truth in it. Thank you. Again internet is amazing. It totally changed the way we educated ourselves. All this sort of information might have been kept among very few people preinternet era. Now, with no excuse, we are what we eat as food and absorb as ideas.
Within the internal arts, chi involves the expansion and contraction of the fascia. There is a microscopic separation between the fascia and the muscles that produces the feeling of softness. This is why they say, "When one part moves, all parts move."
This is one of the most important pieces of information for today's practitioners who are body workers. I hope these approaches are integrated into Physical Therapy and Chiropractic school curriculums if we expect these therapists to evolve their practices; we need to intervene on how poorly humans are moving biomechanically within society
I'm listening again, the third time, to this excellent old video. 'Some really useful explanations of principles of evolution, etc. thank you very much, I eagerly learn these with joy. 1. Kinesthetic literacy... 'Great concept. I think all psychological constructs and meanings derive from physical past experiences. E.g. 'a long time' relates to spatial length. A sharp rebuke. The word 'inter-esting' being 'between-being' (relating things newly). 2. Virtual reality offers fine potential for KL - I do brain training in the Enhance app every day. The game ''React' forces me to bat incoming shapes, reacting quickly, so I actually puff a bit. So probably we'll see new apps cunningly designed like that - to thoroughly exercise the fascia and muscles and brain without the user even being consciously aware of the workout, being so preoccupied by the audio-visual circumstances (white water rafting, boxing, reaching up or down for things, swinging round to mount a vehicle, etc. 3. The fabulous emerging multi-modal assistive intelligence will whisk away a lot of the difficulties of creating such apps. 'Can't wait to use such KL apps, 'what they'll do to my health and mind.
I think for us in the "new age" area it's appealing to think that cancer is caused by a loss of "Self connection", but it doens't really align w my experience. Like Geroge Burns who lived to be 100 and smoke and ate junk every day. Many examples of people who didn't die of cancer. My spirtutal teacher was probably the most aware man I knew, and he died of cancer. I think it's safe to say we all have areas of darkness in us; so why does cancer come to some and not others? There's more to it than just "cigaretets vs soul".
That was absolutely fascinating. Thank you to Thomas Myers and FunctionalPatterns for this. I will be sharing this and discussing this with a lot of people I think :)
All life is physical. Muscles are but the paint brushes and bones the canvas of our kinetic impressionism. Our cocoon of fascia, the artist, wields it's tools with complexity, grace and silence. The body's language speaks to gravity with a posture of respect rooted equally in fear and love. Falling down taught us to walk just as noticing our collapsed posture obligates us to mend it. From my experience the mind sits at the helm of the body yet owes its very survival to that vessel-body's- structural health.
Hey Naudi and Tom, I'm curious if you've heard of Spiral Dynamics. I think your approach of movement and functionality is very well representative of higher stages of the Integral model. Good work, thank you! Vincent
I heard that complete body renewal takes place every few days for skin,few months for organs and about a year for bones ....so our lifespans could be much longer to otherwise expected
Looking at gigong, he looks like hes took the various yin and yang channels and called them a word westerners can easily grasp and conceptualize and made a old medicine new and glossy. Great info none the less
Awesome psychedelics talk, probably the most unique rationalization of the processes I've ever heard. Cool to hear something connected with our human past that isn't the stoned ape theory
Attention selection centre location means attention is drawn away from body when using so regenerating would mean switching off periodically and drawing attention down into body and kinesis does that,
38:24 Bravo! You have my admirations! This is NOT just a believe, this is the sore Truth! Once again, well done - your Intuition is the best possible tool :) Congrats!!!
Thanks for the upload man. I hope you get invited to JRE so you can rip Ido Portal, crossfit, and many other systems that ultimately hurt the body. Thanks for what you do and happy new year.
+TheBioMechanic Go to Ido Portal TH-cam channel and look for the video which one of his students pulls a bicep doing some fancy ring hangs. I must say though, that Ido' s philosophy on movement is beautiful and interesting. But not every philosophy is applicable to reality or useful per se. I invite to check out this channel is very informative and helpful to understanding a little as to how to train ones body and mind properly.
+TheBioMechanic I believe that FP is the best way to properly train the body. I've experienced the pain of bad posture due to over training Olympic weights and gymnastics.
+TheBioMechanic You are right. I was very ignorant of training on my own without coaches who would guide me in proper technique and pain management. I just started lifting weights and doing ring work to show off with the idea of becoming a real man. I hope this affirmation clarifies your doubts. Though I will continue training through FP because it'll keep me injury free just like it has for over a year now. The last thing I want to do is go to a chiropractor to repair something I could have avoided.
Amusing how the Functional Pattern logo and the religious icon on the wall match. We found a pattern! Now what to do with it? First we should define a goal and then work towards its realization. When achieved we can call the situation and status perfect - for the specifics it was intended to be. What is perfect for me might not be perfect for you. I appreciate the video, lots of new insights, from fascia to a whole lot of philosophical subjects that hold a string to it, no matter how abstract. I will keep my critical distance here and say, fascia certainly is a cogwheel (or in less rigid terms, a team member) in the great system we call human body and more specifically movement apparatus.
All maps overlap over body and linguistics appears to be another map In finding overlaps with the same. Positional changes and physiological changes has been my internal focus, And there does appear to be a slowing down effect associated with head space which allows for the reflection that allow science to exist.
24:22 Look, this is a great interview. Please do not attribute "open the doors of perception" to Huxley. I know you're talking psychedelics, but that is Blake. Thanks again for creating and sharing the interview.
Since he is specifically talking about psychedelics, it's entirely appropriate to attribute the phrase to Huxley, without whom the expression would never have reached popular culture.
Sounds (bija mantras) like fascia is aum... Isn't so Thank you sri Tom Myers for the insights. By the way ,his voice reminds me of Richard Freeman and the yoga matrix in the 6 set cassettes form back in the day. Namaste
Did i understand correct that he saying that psychedekics with good quality can help you discover some part of your feelings or eliminate some. and that is good kinda?
Not the first time I've seen Tom but this interview confirms he is the most intelligent, open minded and balanced person I've ever listened to.
Great interview N.A.
Unbelievably beautiful man. It was such a great interview, a real pleasure. Thank you Tom Myers for sharing your thoughts and wisdom. Thank you Naudi Aguilar for providing the opportunity.
why is he a joke?
itshardgettinganame they said he was "NO joke."
my bad
itshardgettinganame smh
What a total pleasure to encounter someone like Tom Myers in this interview. THANK YOU
Totally blown away by this interview. So inspirational.
I just found this Tom Myers guy & I really like him. He answers questions with confidence, and now I am intrigued.
What an amazing interview. The verbal acuity this man has for conveying his thoughts and ideas is just staggering. What an energy source!. Will be looking at more of his work. Thank you Functional Patterns for this. Namaste x

well all i can say is BRAVO!!!!!!!!! there is hope for man if there are people on this earth such as Tom.
I really enjoy Thomas Myers thought process.
I find his ability to consider his responses holistically so refreshing and intelligent !
Tom Myers, I can't tell how much I appreciate your videos, they've turned my whole vision of the body over. I'm currently in the process of becoming a Rolfer.

This Guy right here will path the way for Human Anatomy for the next generation, such an open mind that will answer the questions that others can't
Tom has made my back pain innate again!
I'm gonna need a bong hit transplant to make it through this video!
Dr. Meyers is profound. Thank you Anatomy Trains! I began examining my structural imbalances in my late teens and by my early 20's had decided to reverse them. As an existentially motivated kinetic hobby I decided to functionally balance my body's iso-lateral fascial meridians. My awareness has expanded exponentially through this practice.
Where did you begin? Stumbled into this accidentally and while I am fasciated, I am overwhelmed. Makes sense, but what do I do?
Wow! This is something far greater then biomechanics, this is stepping into the spiritual realms of integrating body and soul. I've always feld this in the background of anatomy trains courses, but didn't actually knew it was this integrated in the founder. Thanks for putting this out there and you're right, it's so important to spread the consciousness!
This is a fantastic interview with a brilliant guy I have never heard off, thankyou all at FP for this. Great work.
Naudi i would greatly appreciate it if you do more of these videos especillay with Tom myers, this video is very imformative, and entertaining. I find this to be very interesting!
seems like i have to ad this interview to almost all of my playlists on YT as he doesn´t fit in any box. Love it
Aloha Tom, I don't know if you still read comments, but I needed to let you know how much I enjoy your videos and your eloquent, yet simple explanations about "connection."

Always such an exciting blessing to discover a master living on the planet during our time...
Having just stumbled upon this video, and knowing nothing of Thomas Myers, it strikes me that he exemplifies the difference between an open minded and an empty minded person. Being neither American nor living in the USA, it’s comforting to think there are still people like this in that beautiful but beleaguered country . . .
Thank you for doing this interview. My first exposure to Tom Myers. Only wish I had seen this a couple of years ago. I'm going to jump into his book right away. Ed
“Functionally living your life in your body is not just about how much you can lift it's about how much you can love.” 🫶🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔋🔋
Thanks Naudi- great questions eliciting great responses from a great man!
Wow! Two great men sharing and providing great insight. Thanks, hermano!
Wow.. it was so beautiful and thought provoking. Thanks a lot Tom.
Thank you for the train map, makes sense from a connection point of view and how I have been able to carry things with single fingers using whole arm somehow, breath appears to allow longer periods of activity, I had to teach myself how to breath as I either exhale or inhale but now somehow do both in a circle way.
Dayummm I was expecting this interview to be kinda boring but I loved it!
You are brilliant! I want to get my PHD just to investigate this but have no science background. Gonna keep learning about anatomy
Touched a bit on the validity of Chakra's amazing question amazing answer.
Awesome stuff! 👌 tom is ahead of his time.
ㅣloved the whole interview. The egg analogy was brutally scary and realistic since it carries so much truth in it. Thank you.
Again internet is amazing. It totally changed the way we educated ourselves. All this sort of information might have been kept among very few people preinternet era. Now, with no excuse, we are what we eat as food and absorb as ideas.
Who are the 29 who disliked this video? This stuff is mind blowing.
Within the internal arts, chi involves the expansion and contraction of the fascia. There is a microscopic separation between the fascia and the muscles that produces the feeling of softness. This is why they say, "When one part moves, all parts move."

Congratulations! Really very good questions, the best interview with Tom. Thanks for that
Beautiful... Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
Amazing, just amazing. Could listen for hours on end.
Jan Hrvatin same here! I was hoping they keep going lol
This is such an informative interview! Thank you for sharing
what an amazing interview. very deep and engaging.
That was absolutely fascinating. Thank you to Thomas Myers and FunctionalPatterns for this. I will be sharing this and discussing this with a lot of people I think :)
astonishing interview! so many ideas baked in
wow That guy changed my life just now.

This is amazing!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing this what a great interview 👏🏼Tom Myers wow 🤩
What a beautiful and interesting review.
Thank you.
Interesting because of the explanation of the important function of the fascia
incredible, thank you. what a ji, tom myers, thank you for your contribution to existence
Fantastic interview!
I’m attempting to improve brachial pain from neck and lumbar pain through isometric and breathing exercises driven by pain
39:00 I love his answer to that question
Me too, something to take with us on the journey :)
I heard that complete body renewal takes place every few days for skin,few months for organs and about a year for bones ....so our lifespans could be much longer to otherwise expected
What an amazing soul!
Rotational patterns appear to be most useful so far
Looking at gigong, he looks like hes took the various yin and yang channels and called them a word westerners can easily grasp and conceptualize and made a old medicine new and glossy. Great info none the less
Thanks for sharing!
HOLY Shit! Is it weird to say , I've been thinking this way for some time! He's explained a lot on why I think this way and more!
This is gold
Awesome psychedelics talk, probably the most unique rationalization of the processes I've ever heard. Cool to hear something connected with our human past that isn't the stoned ape theory
Well done!
amazing wonderful. its is totally different but logic perspective.
Glad you liked it
this is amazing. thank you.
An amazing interview! thank you for sharing. subtitles in other languages?
What does he mean that the zeitgeist for psychedelics has changed?
Attention selection centre location means attention is drawn away from body when using so regenerating would mean switching off periodically and drawing attention down into body and kinesis does that,
bong hit transplant
Sound therapy is currently in the truth of sound frequencies can help body renewal ...especially in a more authentic health body mind spirit dynamic
38:24 Bravo! You have my admirations! This is NOT just a believe, this is the sore Truth! Once again, well done - your Intuition is the best possible tool :) Congrats!!!
Wow. What a man.

Are there any particular things that you look for when reading scientific articles to see which may be faulty vs properly researched articles?
i need a quick 2021 update, have there been studies done by now of the measured amount of force transmission across multiple muscles in an action?
What an incredible interview with a world view world educated man to bad he does not realize man is spirit soul and body.
Feel sorry for the 14 people who thumb down this. Great stuff!
24:22 Look, this is a great interview. Please do not attribute "open the doors of perception" to Huxley. I know you're talking psychedelics, but that is Blake.
Thanks again for creating and sharing the interview.
Huxley wrote the book. So it's a fair enough attribution.
Since he is specifically talking about psychedelics, it's entirely appropriate to attribute the phrase to Huxley, without whom the expression would never have reached popular culture.
AMAZING!!!
spot on
This is an ultra-likable guy...
Sounds (bija mantras) like fascia is aum...
Isn't so
Thank you sri Tom Myers for the insights.
By the way ,his voice reminds me of Richard Freeman and the yoga matrix in the 6 set cassettes form back in the day. Namaste
Did i understand correct that he saying that psychedekics with good quality can help you discover some part of your feelings or eliminate some. and that is good kinda?
The Egg Analogy was brilliant.
Love ro hear Tom's view of the younger generation currently in 2023, and how they feel about their bodies.
