How to Learn from Your Mistakes

by SharonHartnett | Dec 1, 2024 | Craniosacral Therapy, healing, healthy, mindfulness

Learn through Self-Awareness

Learn from Your Mistakes. We all do our best. We all try. All the tools we have been given until any present moment is what we know, and what we have accepted. No more. No less.

The way to move and grow through change and to find joy is by:

1. Being mindful of your choices. This means actively observing yourself and your relationships. When the consequences limit you more than benfit, question.

2. Look for the best in any given moment. The choices we make are based on our past resources quite often. Still, inside every moment is a gem somewhere. Look for the light. It will reveal itself. This does take an open mind perspective. Nothing leads you into more peace and clarity than connection to your True Self internally. That diamond is you.

3. Many people are programmed to feel bad about their choices when they step out of a box. Yet, this choice is a growth opportunity. To move beyond what once felt safe and comfortable takes tremendous courage. Trusting the more open point of view and moving from there is powerful and life changing in the most beneficial way. There will probably be some rough bumps. Most probably. However, rising after you fall down develops resilience and a sense of real power.

4. Go to your heart, and forgive others. Not for who they are or what they did. Truly for you. So you don’t have to carry that burden of anxiety or hate. Free yourself from the weight of other’s problems.

5. Pay attention to patterns. If your relationships continue to withold love, punish or try to control you, step away. Become more objective and find the new path. Love is important is the way which we try and fill our needs. But a more authentic love also includes kindness, fulfillment, and acceptance.

We all deserve to find love, peace and joy. However, we need to realize we deserve it all. We need to learn from the past, to make a better future.

Remembering Your Life Purpose: Craniosacral Therapy

Find Your Life Purpose

Looking for a way to find a meaningful purpose in your life? Before you can set your intention and organize, you have to figure out your passion! Here are three things to consider which can help you deepen into clarity:

1. Ask yourself what brought you joy when your were little? Not necessarily your best talents, but instead-the things that brought a smile to your face. On a soul level, right from the start we know what lights us up. Until maybe someone perhaps tried to steer you off course based on their point of view. Take some time to meditate and remember who You are. You were born with an internal roadmap for self-discovery and purpose. Now you need to discard anything that stops you from knowing your true Self.

2. Craniosacral Therapy can help. Often in life, we get distracted with all the other paths put before us. We are told many stories, and pulled in so many directions. Sometimes, we forget what matters most to us. Reconnect to Yourself.

If you want to get grounded and feel more embodied, one helpful option is receiving Craniosacral Therapy. Many clients who come into my practice are stressed. Often I see people who are neurodivergent thinkers. Some are feeling lost, living with constant anxiety, and feeling stuck in learned limited belief systems which can rev up the nervous system. In vulnerable times, another “listening” support system can facilitate change and healing.

Craniosacral Therapy is very helpful in bringing health and balance to the mind, body and spirit connection. For people feeling anxious and overwhelmed, they usually end up feeling much calmer after a session. For those who are stuck or noticing “ftozen blocks, this work can help mobilize and bring more flow into life.

Craniosacral Therapy is a safe and nurturing manual therapy. In the higher levels of training, we are trained to support trauma release and integration of detrimental cellular memory. We create sacred space for your body to inform us what is needed in the moment to move onward with more harmony and clarity. Knowing yourself naturally awakens your purpose and calling.

3. Gather resources and take action. How you decide to live in your passion is up to you. It doesn’t have to look like anyone else. Your uniqueness and special creativity is meant for you to fly. It’s all about getting aligned with your energy to build the life that brings meaning and purpose to your soul. Life is too short to live any other way.

Through life, we go through many different transitions. Being mildful and in healthy relationships brings ease as we move from one experience into another..Especially when your relationship to yourself is strong, clear and unfolding in a way that awakens your true longing.

You came here to share your gifts with great purpose!

How to Calm the ADHD Mind

by SharonHartnett | Oct 31, 2024 | Craniosacral Therapy, healing, healthy

How ADHD can be better treated with Craniosacral Therapy

ADHD is best diagnosed by a physician. Although, for those of us who have it, we probably have a good idea that we are challenged, have a difficult time with organizing, and can sometimes feel anxious or feel very self-judgmental.

ADHD can look different among different groups of people. Men have been studied more thoroughly, for example, than women. One symptom in particular that can present differently between the genders is hyperactivity. Some act out, but often women may feel more of an inner stress, and overwhelm. So it’s good to find an experienced professional to determine what is the best protocol for you to make life easier. Personally, I enjoy listening to Dr. Amen talk about the brain’s function, and how he treats ADHD. Very evidenced based.

Also, I have found that Craniosacral Therapy can be very helpful in treating ADHD as well. At first, sometimes a person on the table feels very stimulated. Closing the eyes and feeling inward may take some time. However hard this can be initially, eventually they do to quiet and learn to enjoy lying down and receiving. As they begin to trust the therapist, and allow the experience to unfold, they begin to learn how to drop down into stillness. This is very soothing to the mind and of course the body.

Craniosacral Therapy is very gentle. It is focused on the interconnectiveness of the nervous system. By relieving stress there, through working with the fluids in the craniosacral system, clients often feel more focused, sleep better, and feel better emotionally.

In my practice, I enjoy working with people who deal with ADHD and the challenges that come along with it. I understand it. I have seen positive results. It’s also a nice way to help the brain and body to relax without medication.

If you are looking for overall wellbeing, Craniosacral Therapy ought to be one of your first stops. It’s natural and powerfully effective in helping to regulate ADHD stress.

Find peace in your life.

There are so many other pluses, it’s hard to name them all.

So how do you meet and build healthy friendships?

First ask yourself, “What do you find valuable in friendships”? Each of us appreciate different qualities. Continue with questions like, ” What does a friend mean to me? In the past, what did you find comforting and worthwhile in relatioships?

Next, put yourself into action by going out into the world doing things which you enjoy. Sometimes this feels like a risk, putting yourself out there, but it is well worth the while to feel connected and to share meaning in life.

Lastly when you add these two things together, it’s time to trust the process of building. It’s an opportunity to blend, learn and grow. How this happens it by choosing to focus on others. Ask questions. Listen. Show interest. Feel into what feel good to you. Create healthy boundaries. It’s an ondgoing process of deepening and understanding.

Healthy Friendships have a huge impact on our lives. In an age of computers and texting, it takes effort to be social. It takes effort to love. However, surrounding yourself with healthy people will teach you so much about you, and it will nourish and bring many joys to your life.
