Energy Healer Sharon Hartnett Sharing….

I watched an energy healing on the Goop Lab recently. I was very glad to see someone professional actually talking about Energy Work in a positive way! People in Columbus, Ohio have been calling me as a result of this, and I am happy that they are open and excited about hands on energy healing now.

Yet I must admit-that most sessions don’t look quite like what happened with Julianne Hough.

First off, Julianne is obviously very health conscious and one of the best dancers in the world. It’s easy to see how attuned to her body she is.  Also, it is clear how her energy is aligned and connected to John Amaral.  He is the Healer who waved his hands over her with the result of spontaneous body movement.

This type of session is absolutely possible, but it really is a combination of different factors between the person doing the work and the client on the table which determines how the energy session shapes.

My training as an Energy Healer was 8 years at the renown Barbara Brennan School of Healing.  Also, I have been attuned to Reiki, and I know energy work naturally occurs with the Craniosacral Therapy (CST) I do.  Although, the CST is steeped more in  physical science with the physiological Craniosacral System and Central Nervous System.

During a session with me, my clients keep their clothes on. I listen to their energy field, and find out what is metabolizing well, and what is not.  I trust that the Light Inside will lead me to facilitate any auric field transformation that is ready to happen.  Most of this happens in the 4 dimensions: physical, auric field, hara and in the Core Star.

Some clients feel energy flow, connections happening on the more structured level of the energy field. Other may start to connect their hearts more deeply or perhaps even have spiritual experience. The experience really depends on what is unique to each person’s path.

Since the show, I have read doctors calling this work melarchy and such.  But I am not sure that they have ever really opened up and given energy work a chance.  When a person closes off to the more subtle aspects of existence, how can they find the truth?  When a certain group of people believe that their way is the only “right” way, how can they experience something new?

So many people are coming to Integrative Therapies.  Mostly because the Western Medical Model is lacking in many ways.  Yes- I have been helped tremendously at times from surgeons.  But so much more is missing.  Most of us have experienced this, and go searching for something more.

I don’t believe that we, as healers, heal.  Nor do I believe that physicians heal.  But any person can touch another in a certain way with energy intention, and help that person find his/her way back to Wholeness inside. When people do healing work, it is more than trying to “fix” the physical.  We are helping our clients to come back into their own Self-Empowerment to bring healthier choices back to them.  There is joy in life, and healing awakens this from within.

My job is to help you discover your own Inner Healing Resources to change your fate toward Optimal Health.  I hope that one day more physicians will open their minds to working more side by side in the energy healing field.  Afterall, what is most important is that people find what they are looking for.

With Energy Work, many of my clients often feel much more calm, clear and healthier.  They address their di-sease process physically, emotionally, in a heart centered way, and also spiritually on many occasions.

Connection is so integral to our growth and healing journey.  Energy Healing can be very supportive in this.  If you are interested in finding out more,  I offer a free one time 15 minute phone consultation.

Having Trouble Sleeping since Menopause?

Having Trouble Sleeping since Menopause?

Sleepless Menopause Nights

 

I don’t know about you, but once I hit menopause, I couldn’t sleep deeply anymore.  In fact, sometimes I would just lie there for hours and hours, lucky to get 2 hours of sleep. I’d be so tired during the day.  I’d look up menopause on fb pages, and most people were taking a lot of drugs. That did not seem like the best option for me.  Although, I did try melatonin and a few other over the counter remedies.  Most worked a little, but not really that great.

As a Craniosacral Therapist, I had of course worked with many people people who were going through difficult menopause symptoms:  anxiety, lack of sleep, mood changes, hot flashes, night sweats and the rest.  I knew I was helping my clients.  They would share how much the work helped.  But I did not expect that “I” would not get another decent night’s sleep again.  I never thought this would happen to me.  I had always been the one happily anticipated no more periods.  But it did.

So I decided to go the Self-Care Route.  And you know what?  It really helped.  Maybe after so many years of helping others, I realized that it was time for me and other women who are going through the “Change” to focus inward, and really get things integrated.  So I decided to take my own advice and find a local Craniosacral Therapist whom I could trust, whom had great techniques and who knew how to dialogue with my body.  I did find the perfect match.

It’s made me realize, that with all of my experience as a Craniosacral Therapist, trained through the Upledger Institute, I truly relate to all that a woman goes through during menopause.  And I can hold a very sacred and sweet spot for women who are facing the many challenges that this change of life brings.  I have moved through this, and I resonate with the way through now.

If you are looking for some help, I will say, getting back to a peaceful restful place is something that can take time and commitment.  One has to have trust and be willing to move down deep into what is interruping the process of getting into a sleep state and staying there. If your physician has checked you out and everything else is showing up fine, we can delve into whatever your body, and mind are revealing during the sessions, allowing your Inner Wisdom to take you into balance.  Craniosacral Therapy is deeply relaxing and when stress leaves, integration and peace ensue.

I have had many clients say that they are sleeping better, and in a general sense feeling much better refreshed in the mornings.If you would like to find out more, please call me for a 15 free phone consulations.

Explain How Is Craniosacral Therapy Different than Energy Work?

Explain How Is Craniosacral Therapy Different than Energy Work?

by | Nov 9, 2019 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K, upledger institute

Craniosacral compared to Energy Work

Craniosacral Therapy has been around for a long-time, and while people across the globe have been receiving it, CST is not as widespread as I would hope.  So, I love that when potential clients call, they are so excited to learn. This work is terrific and I do my best to let people know that!  I have also studied Energy Work for a long time.  That has probably been undestood for even longer.  I’ll address that too.

Mostly, people have heard about Craniosacral Therapy from a friend, colleage or family member who has experienced great results with this soft touch therapy.  Often they are referred to the Upledger Institute.   With urging they give me a call full of questions.  I give a basic informative talk and  offer a free 10 minute phone consulation to help them to understand how Craniosacral Therapy work and can help them!

One of the main questions is “Is this energy work”?  It’s important for me to make this easy to understand because there is a big Difference.  Yet there are also some similarities.  First of all, Craniosacral Therapy is focused on the Craniosacral System.  This is a system where craniosacral fluid is created in the vetricles of the brain, circulated there and around the spine and is then reabsorbed back into the venous system.  So it is an actual physiological process.  This fluid nourishes, helps protect and clears the Central Nervous System (CNS).  When there are restrictions in the CNS, this fluid can release tension and help it to optimally support healthy functioning.  This is important because the CNS connects to basically everything in the body.  It is the Superhighway of communication for all the things that our body does.  Craniosacral Therapy also works with the fascia which is a three dimension web of connective tissue.   Working with fascia is quite transformative for posture and the whole body as well.

Energy Work is based on working with the vibrations of differet levels of consciousness.  Energy runs through all things. It’s universal.  When we kiss our children, we are running energy through our systems and then touching the other.  Sometimes that energy causes a response in the other person.  When an athlete football player runs across a football field, he/she is using his/her body’s energy to do so.  Lasers use energy and are now in our medical system in so many ways.  Each energy has it’s own unique way that it manifests.  It can be used for healing and awakening too.

In the last 15 years, I have focused much of my pracice on Craniosacral Therapy as taught at the Upledger Institute.  Before that I studied at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing of 8 years. I taught there as well, and Supervise students still.  So I know a lot about both of these modalities.  What is in common is that everything is made out energy.  Whether someone believes in hands on energy healing or not, science shows us that relational interaction does create change between two organic beings. Faith healing and even intention does affect others.  Same thing with prayers and medidation.  So when a Craniosacral Therapist is working, of course energy is going to be running through both the systems of the therapist and the client- just as with any two people connecting and melding.  If a Craniosacral Therapist has an interest with working with energy too, this can be incorporated into the session.  But the intention between these two fields of healing are different: one of the Craniosacral System, and the other on working with energy.

Craniosacral Therapy is based in science, and was brought to many people through the work and education of Dr. John Upledger.  The best energy work system that I know was taught at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, created by Dr. Barbara Brennan.  While Reiki is more well know- it is a much more basic energy model. These two modalities of CST and energy work go hand in hand, but the focus is very different.

I hope that I have answered any questions you may have had on this topic.  If you are interested in finding out more, I do offer a free 10 minute phone consult at 703 509-1792

Warmly,

Chronic Pain Getting You Down?

by | 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

Getting Clear about What You Want in Life

by | Dec 30, 2017 | craniosacral, barbara brennan, 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!

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.
