This blog was inspired by Victoria, Creator and Founder of The Ixchel System's, recent conversation with Tim Shields on his podcast 'The Inciting Incident'. If you would like to listen to the conversation click here!
At Ixchel, we work with unlimited possibility — in health, relationships, abundance, and opportunity.
But here’s the important part: possibility needs structure.
Biomechanics and meditation aren’t two separate worlds. They actually meet each other, gently, like the tips of two feathers touching. One naturally flows into the other.
I like to think of it in 3D and 5D terms.
The 5D: Meditation, Intention, and Energy
Meditation is powerful. Intention is powerful. The practices we use help regulate the nervous system, shift emotional patterns, and open us to change.
Let's look at the car analogy:
Meditation is the best fuel you could possibly put in the tank.
Intention is turning the key.
Without intention, the car doesn’t start.
Without fuel, it doesn’t go anywhere.
The 3D: Mechanics Still Matter
But here’s the piece most approaches miss.
If one wheel is pointing in the wrong direction, it doesn’t matter how good the fuel is, or how hard you press the accelerator — the car won’t move smoothly. It might drag, judder, or burn out completely.
That’s biomechanics.
Your body works the same way.
Right now, your mechanics genuinely believe they’re doing the right thing. The nervous system has adapted. The joints have compensated. And unless you are extremely lucky, those patterns do not resolve themselves by accident.
They need to be reset mechanically, just like when a mechanic fixes your car.
Every Joint Is an Energy Centre
Here’s where things get really interesting.
Every joint in your body is also an energy centre. When joints are compressed, stuck, or forced to work against gravity, energy can’t move cleanly through the system.
From an Ixchel perspective, true enlightenment isn’t a single “aha” moment.
True enlightenment is when:
-
Joints work in functional relationship with each other
-
The centre of mass supports you instead of fighting you
-
Movement feels light, efficient, and clear
You don’t just think differently —
you feel different in your bones.
Those elevated emotions people access in meditation?
There’s a mechanical version of that too.
The Body Can Do the Regulating for You
When the feet are aligned properly, and every bone and joint stacks and moves correctly in three plaines, the body begins to regulate itself.
Energy centres don’t need to be “activated” manually —
they’re regulated mechanically.
From the feet up, alignment changes how you breathe, how you feel, how you process emotion, and how you show up in the world.
That’s the work.
Biomechanics isn’t separate from meditation.
It’s what allows the insight, the intention, and the energy to actually land — and stay.
And when the system works together?
Movement gets easier.
Emotion settles.
Life feels lighter.
That’s not woo.
That’s mechanics.
In a recent podcast episode, Victoria sat down with Tim Shields (writer, editor, and literary collaborator best known for his six-year collaboration with Dr. Joe Dispenza, including working on the critically acclaimed book, “Becoming Supernatural") on his podcast 'The Inciting Incident' for a conversation about biomechanics, trauma, and human potential.
What begins as a discussion about posture and movement opens into a deeper exploration of how the body stores memory, how the nervous system finds safety, and how alignment can quietly reroute an entire life.
Together, Tim and Victoria explore the relationship between meditation and mechanics, joints as energy centers, and why so many people search for healing without realizing the vehicle itself is misaligned.
