TTouch® Massage and Bodywork for your Dogs, Cats and Birds

Last night I just arrived home from my first training class in Tellington TTouch®. It was a wonderful experience and I am very grateful for the learning that I found there. Being a Massage Therapist and Bodyworker for human beings, I had decided to expand into working with animals because I have continually realized in a deeper way the integral role animals play in our daily lives. With the mutual evolving relationship we have with dogs, cats and other caring pets, these beautiful creatures have integrated themselves into so many homes and hearts that many have become a valued member of many families. The birth of puppies or a new colt can awakening the joy of life in a manner like no other, except with our own children. On a daily basis, we learn so much from our pets because they tend to hold such a strong loyalty and love for us when we care for them well. Personally, I find that when I don’t listen to the wisdom voice in my own head, my dog Tanner often reminds me in a very sensory and kind way how to live in a more centered and grounded heart connection. And when our pets begin their dying process, they teach us about grace and the places where we grieve inside and find it difficult to let go and move forward. What we learn from pets touches many of the qualities that we may or may not find in our relationship with other humans. What I mean by this is that when the world may seem harsh or difficult at times, our dogs often wag their tails and stay present with us in the moment with unconditional love and acceptance. They help us to remain grounded, strong, and clear with more compassion and intelligence. They are wonderful teachers in that they do not judge us or criticize us, but rather listen and be with us from a place separate than the thinking mind. It is easier to be in the presence of empty space and care than thinking that “puts down” or “is in conflict”. In the past few years, I have found myself wandering to a dog, or a horse, wanting to place my hands in a certain place, to help be in service or to reciprocate the great learning we have to offer each other. I have studied with the Upledger Institute to work with Dolphins in a healing and reciprocal approach. A few months ago, I found myself exploring working at a Big Cat Sanctuary the benefits of Craniosacral Therapy in an environment where lions, tigers and bears are being rescued. I have traveled to Africa and one of my biggest joys in life was doing Safari. All this has been changing the focus of my practice, and I have found some clients asking me to work energetically or to do aromatherapy with their pets. Our pets run into behavior or health issues often based on their environment and unhealthy situations they encounter. When they are afraid, they often react more than respond from their natural organic sense of life. Tellington TTouch® has now given me an opportunity to view the interconnection between us and our animal friends in a more profound and expansive view. My hope is to support the unwinding of tension and fear between pets and their human friends.

What is Tellington TTouch®?

: Massage and Bodywork for Animals

From my perspective Tellington TTouch® is a form of bodywork, animal dialogue and heart connection that helps influence a dog’s behavior, and brings a sense of calm where there once was anxiety or fear. It allows people to alleviate tensions and pain in the body as well as bring focus to jobs that need to be done. Once the cellular movement is shifted through TTouch® and care, more functionality and a sense of wellbeing can often be seen.

I am still a novice at this particular work as it takes 4-6 classes before one may go out and do TTouch as a business. However, I have worked with some pets and am happy to bring them into my already existing practice at the farm. I have done this before the training, and am happy to provide an extra 15 minutes at no cost to develop to work with you and your animal friends.

Some of the things I will be setting up on our property is a labyrinth to promote structure, bandage wrapping to calm the nerves, and basic TTouch® strokes. I am glad to share what I have learned so that we can better the lives of us and are pets. When One relationship changes in this way, I believe it affects the whole. We can start with ourselves and let that make the difference.

Working with our pets can reveal the way that we view life with more clarity. It can help us to release old patterns that no longer serve us and to reconnect with our heart space more openly. It is in waking up to our own essence and wellness that we find truth and openness in our mind, body & spirit connection.

Stop Working So Hard and Get a Massage

by SharonHartnett | May 21, 2013 | Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, Massage, Structural Integration

Do you admire the American Work Ethic?

For the most part, people work hard in so many parts of their lives. It makes sense as our work supports us, gives us a sense of accomplishment, and allows things to get done.

The Opposite of Work is Doing Nothing. How do most people perceive “doing” nothing?

Do you know how to relax and receive the wonders of life? Is it difficult to empty your thoughts and sense into the wholeness of your life? When you try to relax, do your thoughts tell you that you are lazy, you need to get moving, or are being self-centered by doing nothing.

In life, good health means being able to integrate opposites into balance. If you work alot, then rest a lot. If you aren’t active, then pick up an activity that brings you joy. But for those who have overactive thinking and doing, it is helpful to learn how to slow down and take a break. Allow the nervous system to relax and balance the whole entire body. Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Structural Integration and Energy Therapy can all be helpful in discovering new ways to break old patterns of “overdoing”. A Licensed Massage Therapist can help you to unwind, settle down, feel more deeply, and find more balanced footing. When you learn to relax, the whole world becomes your oyster. You are able to receive the fruits of your labor, it’s easier to see all the support and love that is coming your way, your cells get to take in the nourishment they need in order to stay healthy.

Massage is touch that listens and does… it integrates and provides rejuvenation.

What if you stopped thinking of receiving with any judgement? Wouldn’t it be nice to take in what your mind, body & spirit call for? At Lighten Up Therapies, we offer a variety of different treatments with a focus of Craniosacral Therapy in order to help you feel optimal in your daily living. Craniosacral Therapy is a light touch of bodywork that focuses on the brain and the spine through palpation of the Cerebral Spinal Fluid. By monitoring the cranial bones and other areas of the body, and with a gentle holding, Craniosacral Therapy can reduce stress and help you to find your center again. Craniosacral Therapy is easy to add in with Deep Tissue Massage or Energy Therapy.

Stop Working So Hard. Life is a precious gift and no regrets are necessary when it comes to your health and wellbeing.

Allow Yourself to Relax

Do You Think of Your Life as a Miracle: Massage

by SharonHartnett | May 16, 2013 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, healing, healthy, Healthy Body, Massage, mind body & spirit, mindfulness, Structural Integration

When stressed and feeling in pain, it is not easy to experience life as a miracle.

However, when we acknowledge our present and touch into our hearts, we melt into that glimmer of the Divine Spark. Sometimes we feel it inside, touching our tissues with awareness, Other times we are reminded by observing others or nature or something that shimmers with light. We may feel it when we are touched with listening and compassion.

The body is a physical vehicle that reminds us of the creation of the human spirit and the physical manifestation of life. The more we move toward integration and in free motion, our lives feel healthier.

When we feel healthy and good in our bodies, we tend to feel more in touch with joy and peace. It is easier to feel deeply into the miracle in which we live.

Taking care of oneself through touch, good nutrition, healthy expression of the creative force – allows us to gather insight into the light within.

Touch helps us to remember~

When you are feeling disconnected, imbalanced, stressed or just off your mark, consider offering yourself the gift of transformative Craniosacral Therapy Touch. Let Go and allow your inner wisdom to heal and to reconnect to the wonder of life. The human body is a sacred miracle given to us and blessed.

Craniosacral Therapy Dolphin Assisted Retreat

by SharonHartnett | May 11, 2013 | Craniosacral Therapy

I cut and pasted this Craniosacral Dolphin Therapy information off of the Upledger site. I have participated in the Beginner and Advanced Training with the Dolphins and can say that they are exceptional programs. Something to be put on the life bucket list for sure! I am new to the Columbus area, and would be thrilled to work with clients who are interested in Craniosacral Therapy, and support their transition to the program in the Bahamas. Maybe even jump on a plane to go assist!

Interspecies Learning

DATIP July 25-28, 2013 Freeport, Bahamas (New Dates for 2016 now available)

This four-day Comprehensive Therapy Program includes dolphins and their incredible ability to assist healing. We consistently find the dolphins to be active participants in the therapeutic process. This is combined with traditional CranioSacral Therapy (CST) in the beautiful and supportive environment of the Bahamas.

In the Integrative Intentions Dolphin Assisted Therapy program, we trust and facilitate the inclusion of our natural environment in the healing process. CST therapy is our primary modality and relies upon the innate healing capacities of our own nature. Dolphins offer their assistance in the healing process. We intend to facilitate, with their assistance, to bring holistic dimensions into your therapy. Dolphins frequently offer us their unique ability to facilitate healing. We will be respectfully asking them to participate and assist in your healing process. This brings some unique holistic dimensions into this work.

We have found that the uniqueness of each individual exchange with dolphins brings a very individualized, specific and universal dynamic to the process. Regardless of what you have read or been told by others and the images you might have, we invite you to come and experience for yourself.

Advance Preparation: Recommended Reading: Dolphins and Their Power to Heal. We also have some valuable information for you regarding your BioAquatic Exploration experience, available at https://www.upledger.com/seminar_info/Terms/BADAinfo.doc

– Sunscreen (Anything that says “faces” on it will not burn your eyes in the salt water)

Optional items:

– Zinc Oxide
– Wetsuit (advised for those who may be concerned about their body temperature, infants and small children. The water temperature will probably be in the high 70’s to 80’s.)

We usually have a short time for table work after which the group will then walk a short distance to UNEXSO where we need to sign in and await the boat or bus which we will board and ride to the Dolphin Experience. Once we arrive at Sanctuary Bay, the location of the DAT portion of the CTP, we disembark and walk on a boardwalk which takes us up a ramp to the waiting area, then down a steep ramp to the dolphin area.
