Craniosacral Massage: Helps You Let Go of Your Inner Critic

by SharonHartnett | Nov 18, 2014 | Craniosacral Therapy, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K

Judgment seems to make up a good part of our thinking. So much of our energy is spent on evaluating ourselves and others with our stressful jobs and things that need to be done during the day. The result is a body that forgets how to relax and Let Go. This can lead to pain, illness, and injuries…

By treating the body with Craniosacral Therapy, processing of the sensations, emotions, and thoughts can become more balanced. This can happen by listening to the wisdom of the body rather than focusing on our Inner Critic. When the tensions of the body can quiet down, enlivened movement and awakened sensation can support deeper realization and bring a smile to your face.

Why see a Craniosacral Therapist?

People are often unaware of the the effects of life challenges and how it affects the body’s tendency towards rigidity and muscular tonicity. The body gets numbed, stuck or develops pain patterns. A Craniosacral Therapist who is Certified by the Upledger Institute is trained to bring mindful awareness to the client with a very gentle yet awakening touch. By following the rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid and the surrounding bones and tissues, restrictions and adhesions can release, allowing more free flowing dialogue between the body from a cellular level to the larger systems within.

Clients often relax so deeply that they start to snore on my table.

If you are the type of person that is always on the go, in the long run- you’ll stay healthier by learning to balance with the quiet meditative state of being. Extremes are only meant to be short-term in regards to health and wellness. Let us help you to Let Go of your stress.

Why not take a break and come in for some soothing of the mind, body & spirit?

Wellness

You will be amazed at how much better you are able to function when the body has released tension and is allowed to be at peace.

Self-Discovery with Craniosacral Therapy is an adventure.

Sessions are very gentle and can support you in finding your Inner Light.

Clients often remark how this type of therapy feels like connecting to their deepest cellular sense. Feedback: They awaken and respond well through the interactive dialogue of listening and communication. They often feel restrictive patterns begin to melt away on the table, and sometimes the continuation afterward. As the energy that once went into holding painful isolation opens up, it easier to find freedom in expanded movement and choices. Working with the Craniosacral natural rhythms helps you to get centered, feel restored and more balanced. Integration then brings the change into deepened state of inner peace.

Gentle Touch with Craniosacral Therapy

by SharonHartnett | Jul 22, 2014 | Craniosacral Therapy, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K

Touch is a magical way to enter into another’s space.

It is a way of expressing and nurturing life.

When this contact of touch happens, nerve cells send messages to your brain about tactile sensation. One kind of receptor is the mechanoreceptors that give you information about pushing, pulling and movement. The second group is the thermoreceptors that tell you about sensations of temperature. These are the physiological responses that occur in your body that help you to learn to navigate and live in a physical world. The body listens and it then dances with its environment through this type of dialogue.

Informational Communication

While this is a basic understanding on the physical level about our inner workings, the next question is what else happens?

When information is digested, emotions and thoughts can arise. Often unresolved patterns that are frozen and need help to complete their natural organic cycle of life show up. Everything changes in the Universe and everything concludes in itself and gives birth again when given the opportunity. Touch is an excellent way to initiate the new movement Within to support change.

As a Massage Therapist and Craniosacral Therapist, again and again, it is easy to see that gentle touch can be very heart-centered and healing. Often when clients have felt abused or traumatized, gentle touch can help clients to relax and feel things that have felt stuck. Clients often gain insights and new understanding into their beliefs and limitations. Old feelings are unleashed and are able to integrate so that people can find the balance they seek. Unlocking old configurations is freeing and unburdens us to live more in the moment.

From my Craniosacral Therapist Perspective: While the brain may be the thinker of humanity, it is the Sacred Human Heart and it’s ability to shine through that brings us back into harmony and our Divine Essence. Having the technical know how is important but learning to reach other human beings through compassionate touch is life saving to some. Allowing the mind to serve the heart rather than the other way around is important if we want to connect to Source.

As human beings, when we touch with compassion, we enter into a doorway to open our limitations into a more unitive state of being.

Not only is touch healing, but it is a remembrance that we are not alone in this world. Connection is so essential to the human soul. We always yearn for it… Many are seekers of it. In our society touch is very compartmentalized and minimal. Massage Therapy and other types of bodywork give us permission to open up again on so many levels of consciousness.

One research that I just read….left me more clear about how touch relieves pain. I’d like to share it with you-

http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/hands_on_research

It’s is positive thing to have science behind the benefits of touch to remind how essential connection is…. So spread some compassion with touch today if you dare!

Warmly,

Craniosacral Massage: Listening is the Key to Success!

by SharonHartnett | Jul 21, 2014 | Craniosacral Therapy

How can a Craniosacral Therapist treat you effectively with good listening skills?

It’s not enough for a therapist to go through a routine with you during a session.

If your body is in pain or feeling out of alignment, it’s necessary to look and feel where the dysfunction, rotations, or twists are occuring.

Belief it or not- your body has the information it needs to reconnect to healing. You may need external help too, but by accessing your internal environment, the body gives you cues what needs to be done to get you moving toward health again.

In Craniosacral Therapy, the session begins with Listening.

As Craniosacral Therapists, we go to the Listening Stations to get an idea what is going on with the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). This clear and colorless liquid that bathes the brain and spinal cord is primary to cushioning the brain within the skull and also serves as a shock absorber for the central nervous system. The CSF also allows for the circulation of nutrients and the chemicals filtered from the blood and rids the waste products away from the brain. Thus, the CSF is responsible for keeping the brain and surrounding membranes and spine healthy. So when Craniosacral Therapist using mindful curiosity to gather information about flow and circulation- rich information is collected that will aid in balancing and removing restrictions that may be causing pain and other ill effects. A healthy spine and brain are key for overall health and wellness.

Craniosacral Therapy Listening

The above picture is a good anatomy representation of how the fluid moves and bathes the nervous system. It doesn’t show much about how the semi-hydraulic system operates, but it does give you a useful model to see the proximity to the brain and the basics of the CNS. It’s enough to know that by using the bones as fulcrums or just listening quietly to the rhythm anywhere on the body that by following and making small adjustments, that better balance is established, restrictions are released, and enhanced circulation and communication in the human body can take place.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle and non-invasive practice that creates positive changes in your life on many levels. When pain and dysfunction begin to dissolve on a physical level, the emotional and belief systems begin to shift too. As flow is increased, often clients walk away with more energy, feeling healthier, and more flexible in movement and in life as a whole.

Craniosacral Therapy works well with the following conditions:

Back and Neck Pain
Brain Trauma
Headaches and Migraines
Anxiety
PTSD
Fibromyalgia
MS
Learning Disabilities
Colic
Autism
TMJ
Post Surgical Conditions
