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

How to Calm the ADHD Mind

Craniosacral Therapy

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.

How to Surround Yourself with Healthy People

How to Surround Yourself with Healthy People

friends

Prioritize Healthy Friendships

For people to survive and thrive, we need to build healthy relationships.  Social connection supports us in meeting our life needs and goals.  Putting effort into friendships can create a lifestyle that feels fulfilling and whole. In order to surround ourselves with healthy people, we need to put some intentional energy forward.

Benefits of Developing Deep Friendships:

  • Having a person in your life through the lows and the highs feels supportive and balancing.
  • Having a friend to mirror your core essence qualities helps you to remember you inner light.
  • Keeps us from feeling isolated and constantly alone.
  • Brings about emotional support.
  • Builds trust and a sense of security
  • Boosts Self-Esteems through acceptance and positive mirroring.
  • Offers companionship

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.

Flu or Cold this Season. Stay Home and Rest!

Flu or Cold this Season. Stay Home and Rest!

by | Nov 29, 2015 | Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, healing, healthy, Healthy Body, Massage, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K, Structural Integration

Should you come in for a massage when you are experiencing a flu or cold this season?

I love working with my clients.  Truly I do.  My work and the people I touch bring so much light into my world. But I am always astonished that some of them come into the intimate setting of the massage room with either a full blown cold or flu.  I know they need some TLC.  But the massage table is not the best place to get it.  Especially with COVID still present.  It’s important to remember that your massage therapist LMT can get sick.  But not only that,  everyone she/he touches or who breaths in or comes into contact with a live virus is prone to catch the same thing with enough exposure.

Some of the symptoms to look for are:

Cold:                                                                        

  • stuff or runny nose
  • sneezing
  • cough
  • eyes watering
  • fatigue
  • headache
  • light fever
  • congestion

Flu:

  • stuffy and/or runny nose
  • headache
  • weakness
  • fatigue
  • dry cough
  • fever
  • congestion
  • body aches and pains

Colds tend to be milder.  They also seem to be much short lived.

For more information on colds and flu check out:  Colds and the Flu

The best thing you can do is to rest, and take good care of yourself and others with plenty of sleep, and/or speaking with your physician.  Also- just so you know, sometimes massage can aggravate your illness if too much activation is going on in your body systems.  Not to mention,  I think I have read that some Chicken noodle soup can really help to!

Don’t be afraid to cancel if you are sick:).  Since I wrote this post, I have switched away from massage to Craniosacral Therapy.  COVID has had a big impact on many so please be mindful of resting and taking care of yourself, as well as keeping others healthy!

Good Nights Rest
Sharing the Work of Dr. Barbara Brennan, by Sharon Hartnett LMT

Sharing the Work of Dr. Barbara Brennan, by Sharon Hartnett LMT

by | Sep 2, 2013 | Energy Healing, healing, healthy, Healthy Body, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K, mind body & spirit

Over the last few decades, Dr. Barbara Brennan has seen her healing techniques and teachings spread across the globe, touching the lives of many students, clients, and people who have attended her school and/or studied her books, “Hands of Light” and Light Emerging”.  

Her four year program at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing” has continued to provide a sanctuary for people from all aspects of life in which to learn about healing and how their personal healership can support positive change in the world.There is no other setting quite like this school that can offer such a profound sense of community, bent in service to the Higher Purpose of Life.  BBSH is a unique container of intentional movement toward the evolution of the human Spirit.

Barbara Brennan Hands of Light

As a graduate of the school, I’d like to share some of my insights into the many benefits of attending this school:

A little bit about the school from a graduate’s perspective: The school is based on a four year curriculum, planned out to promote self awareness and energy transformation. In the most simple terms, the first year is very gentle and explorative in a nurturing sense.  It is an opportunity to gain better understanding of Self, and how our Human Energy Field operates. As one approaches the second a year, a different template of energy is held to deepen into our whole sense of Self by further exploring our dualistic beliefs, wounding, defense systems and how we create conflict and resolve issues in our relationships. In my opinion, this year often opens us up to aspects of self where we dared not look in a long time. However, as we learn to listen to our Higher Selves, we gain insights from our darkness, and the light begins to shine brighter and brighter revealing our true natures. The third year takes us on another turn.  This year challenges us to examine our relationship with God.  Often authority issues are revealed and our limited thinking is dropped to open us to be more closely aligned with the Divine Mind. One learns to restructure chakras, to hold the 5th level of the energy field and so much more. Finally, when one enters the fourth and last year, the students take the time to write a research project and present a Case Study. This last year pulls the work together through working with the intention of Hara and rediscovering the Core Star connection we each have to the Divine.

To enter this portal of deep transformation and change, one has to be very committed. One has to learn to trust that by letting go of our old paradigms, that new wisdom and light will lead the way through our darkest trials. Students learn to recognize their strategies and defenses that no longer serve. With all pretenses dropping away, we have learned to become transparent and reconnected to the Whole. Even after graduation, we continue to question and explore in the dance of the Light , opening our hearts and our minds.

Most people who graduate, take the work they have learned from Barbara Brennan, her teachers and community out into their regular daily lives. But something integral to our way of Being has shifted. As we continue to use the skills, we weave our insights and essence into everything around us. We wake up to Source in everything we see with fresh eyes.  Blocks that once held us frozen still dissolve easily, and the passage of life is easier to transverse.

I am not going to say that going the Barbara Brennan School of Healing is an easy journey. But it is a journey worth taking. The curriculum and support that show up at the school will help to heal your deepest wound.  It will help you to navigate through life with more ease and grace. It will loosen your ties to the past and free you up to live more fully with Presence in the Moment.

Dr. Barbara Brennan dedicated her life to teaching and sharing her work. The Template of study and experience will dramatically change how you view life no matter how you look at it.  If you are wanting to discover your True Essence, this is the place to start.  If you want to look toward doing healing work with others out in the world, this school will give you the tools and Presence. Open up to your deepest longing and allow this community to support you in rediscovering your potential and True Self.  Your beliefs are not you. You are so much more than you ever imagined yourself to be.

Do You Think of Your Life as a Miracle: Massage

Do You Think of Your Life as a Miracle: Massage

by | 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.
