Structure and energy: You can't change either without affecting the other. Like the other aspects of your self and your life, they're inseparable and interactive.
Your body is the densest layer of your energy field, interpenetrated by and continuous with the others. We can measure electrical and magnetic energy in the body; these days we don't see anything strange about that, or about using pacemakers, or applying electrical shock to restart a stopped heart. In the 19th century, that was Frankenstein country; in the 21st, it's commonplace.
I work with fascia/connective tissue because it's a potent instrument for change. It shapes the body. It's richly innervated. It conducts electricity. It converts pressure or warmth to electrical energy, which it transmits throughout the body. It may be the pathway through which acupuncture creates change. And I knew at least one yoga teacher who believed that psychic energy traveled through the fascia.
As body structure normalizes, the fascia relaxes into more orderly, coherent patterns, so it's easier to read horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines of physical force. It's also easier to see the loops, spirals, ovals, moebius strips and other patterns of fascial order.
