Craniosacral Columbus

Craniosacral Columbus

During the last 15 years, I have thrown myself into Craniosacral Columbus work. Why? Because I have seen so many positive results for my clients without having to dig in. For many years, I focused on deep connective tissue work. I thought that by leaning my body weight in that I could get great results. Often I did. But that type of work can be quite uncomfortable. So, I decided to go for the more light touch work that worked with the body rather than pushing through to see if I could get as impressive results for pain relief and integration. I do!

When a Craniosacral Therapist listens, your body tells us where there are restrictions in the functioning of the cerebral spinal fluid, and also the fascia. This “inner guidance” directs us where to go and how to support the Central Nervous (Brain & Spine Connection) system to function at its best. The more I practiced Craniosacral Columbus therapy, I began to see my clients go deeper inside, releasing tensions and often stuck emotions. Their bodies relaxed. Their stressed disappeared. Many times, I have had clients falls deep into sleep after not being able to sleep for weeks. The fascia began to melt so easily, excess energy released, and people woke up with no pain, feeling clearer and happier.

This was an easy decision. If I could help clients… people in pain from car accidents, those dealing with concussions, and neck and back pain, those with high anxiety- the picture was clear. I found my way to serve.

Yoga Teacher Training

by SharonHartnett | Dec 3, 2018 | yoga

Yoga is much more than I had ever imagined it to be…

For a long time, I have been working with people on the massage table. I used to do really deep structural work though, and eventually bowing over the table took its toll on me. So I decided at 57 to do something about it. During the last 15 years, I had re-focused most of my gentle practice on Craniosacral Therapy, and integrated everything else as secondary, and to use as needed. This was a good change for me. Much easier on my body as I transitioned. Now, I also work with energy quite a bit and that in my opinion, is an integral part of healing. Most recently though, I splurged on me, and I signed up for teacher training at Yoga On High. I realized that I had to do something that was centered only on me and my health and wellbeing. I deserved to feel good. And I know my clients will benefit just as much!

To let you in on a secret, ne thing that massage therapists and bodyworkers often do, is help others and tend to forget to do the self-care needed. So many burn out. But I loved my work so much that I stuck with it. But then my aches and pains started to show up. So I jumped off the cliff and threw myself into this sacred practice of OM on a whim. At 57, I forgot that I wasn’t as young as I thought I was and didn’t realize it would be such a challenge. With yoga, starting at my age- I had to take it slowly. Most of the people who were in my class were so much younger. It was difficult to keep up. I had practiced Kundalini before but not at the level that the class started at. After the first class, I thought what the heck did I get myself into? This is crazy I thought. And also, because my body was changing quite a bit due to the change of life, other health issues were catching up. Menopause is a great teacher, as women change in this age group.

In any case, the best thing I did for myself though was to just show up to class. I did. Over and over again. Weekends, hour classes, studying, watching yoga videos. It all counts as yoga. To be honest, there also was much homework. I was surprised. But I took it in and absorbed it like a sponge. The more I figured out how my own body worked, and how it felt with different asana practices, the better I felt. I learned to go at my own pace, and to honor the movement as it was. I also really began to dig the energy there. There is a sense of community at YoHi I did not find anywhere else in Columbus. A place where kindness, integrity and care showed up in all things. Month after month, I began to feel better and better. I feel so good at the end of a class now.

All my classes are finished. I have a few project ahead to complete, and then final certification. I plan to take my time, and bring all the glory of peace, presence and sweetness into my daily practice. Not sure that I will teach classes. I feel like there is still so much to learn, and my body needs more attention. But what I have taken in, I will share with my clients happily. I have realized that as great as the work is that I do, people can retain the changes in their body much better with a practice.

Yoga is now part of my life. I wish I had started it so much earlier. The movements, stretches and strength building is much more profound than all my years working out at the gym.

Looking forward to working more and more with my clients, sharing my blessings of Yoga.

A bit about Craniosacral Therapy Worthington…

Craniosacral Therapy is great for most everyone. This work is so gentle and yet profound. The focus is on working with the rhythm of the craniosacral system to look for and release restrictions that negatively impact the Central Nervous System. What I find the best results with are: trauma-releasing emotional blocks, back and neck pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, migraines, concussions and basically for decreasing stress. But I also have clients who enjoy experiencing more balance, vitality and overall better health after a few sessions.

I also offer myofascial therapy for structural issues. I have been working with fascia for close to 30 years.

Chronic Pain Getting You Down?

by SharonHartnett | Dec 31, 2017 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, Massage, Structural Integration, upledger institute

Chronic Pain throws a jolt into life, doesn’t it?

One of the most difficult things about chronic pain is that there is no break. The body continually sends signals to the brain that say “OW”, and there is no rest on a physical level. If your chronic pain is lasting days, weeks or even months, you need some help. And if your chronic pain is coming from an illness level, it’s important that you seek medical help. In addition to that, naturopathic and/or functional medicine can also be very helpful in supporting an overall maintenance or health recovery.

What I would like to talk about is twofold. The myofascial component of pain, and also how the mind reacts to pain.

Fascia-If there is inflammation in the body, it often affects the fascia as pain or dysfunction of some sort. In the reverse, if the fascial body is tight, disorganized or unhealthy, it can also cause pain patterns. Because fascia interacts with all the living things in your body, it is important to address any myofascial issues that contribute to your chronic pain. The problem is that most people have never even heard of fascia. So they go on medications and travel the traditional route looking for answers. Sometimes- the answers are there. Sometimes not. Mostly, in my practice I receive clients who have found no resolutions anywhere. So what do we do? We begin a dialogue between my hands and the person’s fascia. The body tells me where to go. Whether there are tight sheets, torques, pulls, resistance or whatever- we work there until the soft tissues start to melt and re-vigorate. I look for more hydration, flexibility, motion and general health in the fascia. When this happens, compression and dysfunctional patterns disappear, leaving more flow and energy to help self-correct the physical body. The body eventually begins to feel more space and alignment, and voila- you can breathe again.
The Mind- It plays a huge part in how we respond to physical pain. It is true, that as human beings, we can suffer with physical pain. But there are other things that can make pain worst. And usually, believe it or not- when we ignore our pain- the pattern usually gets worst. Ignoring our bodies does not create better health. One thing that is helpful to do to relax pain patterns is to do a breathing meditation, Breathing with awareness helps to bring motion back into the body. Motion is vitality. On top of that benefit, when we start to notice our thoughts, and beliefs, we become more empowered in understanding how our mind is organized. When we experience our bodies, with gentle awareness, pain often softens and can actually subside. As we question our unhealthy thinking, the mind expands, and so does the space inside of us. I know, that sometimes it is easier to resist the pain- but that really doesn’t help long-term. Take some time each day to find the silence in the moment, the places in your body that are feeling good, or ask for loving kindness to fill you up. The mind’s relationship to pain is important. If you want to feel better, it is crucial that you start to explore other conscious choices.

I have worked with people on the table for close to 30 years. Chronic Pain is not the easiest thing to shift. But with a holistic approach, I have seen people get better, and heal. Looking at the foods you eat, your exercise schedule, how you think and act, along with your meditation practice can truly help. Finding a person to journey with you and support you through modalities like SomatoEmotional Release can be life changing.

Remember, that chronic pain can be a lonely place. Don’t leave yourself in that position. Get some help because your life is important.

Getting Clear about What You Want in Life

by SharonHartnett | Dec 30, 2017 | barbara brennan, craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, healing

You CAN get clear about what you want in life.

How?

What you need to do first is start by getting clear about your commitment to Clarity. Set certain times aside for yourself to explore. This can be done alone, or with a friend, healer or a therapist. Self-discovery is a very interesting process. It begins by bringing your awareness to your thinking and how it affects you. Cause and Effect.

Most of our thinking comes from our history and projections into the future. What we believe about our stories can become very important to us. And the filters that we now see the world through can be dimmed by repetitive belief systems. By realizing how we identify with certain thinking patterns, we can change how we experience and create in the world. Three keys to getting clearer about what matters to you:

Mindfulness is key for bringing awareness to thoughts that confuse and that block us from finding optimal value in our lives. And it is in the quiet listening to our thoughts as they pass through, that we can navigate into the deeper silence. Without the clutter, things are much closer to the heart and easier to navigate. Into the “Now” place, life springs forth and life is more simple.
Being Curious makes space for new ideas and perspectives. It’s like opening a door to see what’s next.
Experiencing means being with what is here right now in the moment.

Once the mind starts to quiet down. Awareness can be experienced as more expansive. We can step out of our normal living box. Perspective opens. The bigger picture gives us an advantage to seeing things differently and with more clarity. Experience and centeredness helps us to know what feels right for us. It helps to define our relationship to the moment.

The mind and its consciousness is a larger field than just one person alone.

There are infinite possibilities. But with healing relationships, we can investigate truth, and get more clear about who we are. Our false identities dissolve and life feels more simple, and more restful. Believe it- when the mind opens, clarity is a relief.

Getting Clear by reaching outside of “normal” thinking patterns.Reach for the sky!

clarity

My job as a Barbara Brennan Healer is to work with your energy. To create a space where we work together to create an exchange that supports your movement into clarity. A conversation that will set you free from illusion, and direct you into clarity.

Something deep inside of you knows the TRUTH. And it will set you free to direct your life with more ease.

Getting clear, that is my goal in helping you. To help you connect to the authentic value you are here to live.

If you are looking for help, I work locally and on Skype long distance.
