Wake Up Your Mindful Authentic Sense of Self.

by SharonHartnett | Jul 27, 2024 | hakomi, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K, meditation, mind body & spirit, mindfulness

Increase Your Authentic Self-Awareness…

Kind of an odd Meme Picture Below about Being Yourself by being Authentic. However, it sort of touched me today. How many times do we take on roles or present ourselves differently in order to keep attachments? When is this healthy, and when is it not?

After practicing Hakomi for so long with my clients, I have entered into the jive of staying “mindful” on a daily basis. It’s the best way I know to live in my passion and to understand my deepest dynamic Self.

What “mindfulness” means to me is bringing awareness to my personal experience. Observing the happening of the moment this way helps me to be more clear, and more aligned with the True Self. It also helps me to navigate my response to life more easily.

This is so important because mindfulness gives us an enhanced toolbox so that we can interact with life in a more authentic way. We stop getting so wrapped up in what others think about us. Rather we make ourselves at home inside our own Self, changing and growing in more expansiveness and confidence.

If you find yourself entangled in a lot of dramas. If you feel lost sometimes. The key to finding your authentic self is through mindful exploration. You can do this yourself easily by just practicing creating space for yourself. You deserve this understanding and love. You deserve to feel anchored into the Center of your Being. Get Crazy. Have fun. Live your thread with wild abandonment!

Ssh! Freedom is found in the Silence

Adyashanti on His Silence Quote

Silence. We can search for the meaning of life in our actions, as well as in our outside experiences. However, nothing true can really be found there. Only half truths. Or shades.

I love this “Silence” quote from Adyashinti because it really strikes home with me. When I drop my thoughts and my mind quiets down, it’s like the arrival of magic and mystery rolled in together. There is no stress. There is no distortion. It’s emptiness and breath arising.

Often when we start on a spiritual path, the “seeker” in us shows up. It looks all over for the answers. Glimpses of the Glory will appear and the intrigue takes us farther. But after a long road, the path finally begins to dissolve, and there is no where else to go.

Have you ever felt totally free, and alive?

How does one describe effortlessness and ease in the nothing?

How does the crumbling of your story feel?

Life is so fun and interesting!

The Body Knows How to Heal: Loving What IS..

by SharonHartnett | Jul 23, 2024 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, mind body & spirit, upledger institute

To Heal is an Inside Job

To Heal Comes From Within You. People often forget that there is a deep intelligence inside the body that is alway in motion when it’s healthy. It’s our Life Force, our Qi.

If you think about it, each organ has an inherent motion, and all the other organs slip and slide along side each other with the help of the many fluids. Down to the inside and outside of the cells, there is the nourishing of the various components which are always at work, joining together, like small streams, to sustain the greater whole. There is constant communication and transmission of vital information.

So how does one access this deep intelligence? When something goes awry in the body, it only makes sense, that an outside type of influence is necessary to nudge the system back into a cycle of health.

That’s where mindful bodywork with techniques can help. Depending on the focus, a manual therapist can listen to the body, and support the Inner Wisdom based on the response.

This can be done with Craniosacral Therapy, by a Visceral Manipulation Therapist, through Acupuncture, manipulaton by a Chiropractor, etc… Most of these therapies are complimentary and work hand in hand to heal.

For people who are searching for the best tools to help activate their healing, it’s important quite often to try different therapies, and sometimes even different therapists within a modality. That’s because each therapy and each therapist’s unique contribution can influence you in a different way.

What’s unique about the Upledger Institute’s Work is that the focus is placed on addressing the Inner Physician. It takes a deep trust of the Inner Wisdom, for the ego to move out of the way, and allow the melding and healing to run the process.

If you are looking seriously to shift and change your life, discover yourself through healthy relationship. Interview and question potential therapists. Trust your own instincts, and the truth for you in the moment will tell you your next move. Realize, that Therapists can help by encouraging the healing cycle. But it’s only your Inner Resources that can make it happen.

Focus on Your Potential: Live More Fully

by SharonHartnett | Jul 14, 2024 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, meditation, mind body & spirit, mindfulness

Healing is All about the Potential

Experience Potential from A Craniosacral Therapist Perspective.

Our bodies are individual physical containers. They are also miraculous living skins with dynamic occurences happening inside of us all the time.

What we are made out of is beyond comprehension really.When we look at the human body, quite often we look from an antiquated view, believing that we are a body of individual parts. In fact, we are living organisms where everything is interconnected and alive with the processes of life. All of our cells, tissues and organs and fluids are inter-dependent for our well being.

Sometimes people come into a Craniosacral Session wanting to know why something happened, or explain their histories, hoping to find the answer. The problem is that the answer is not something we “know” or else it would be done. Because we would all naturally want to be healthy. Right?

Instead the whole is really not completely understood. In fact it is changing from moment to moment. The “parts” are shifting and the container is too. There is a certain mystery which plays its part within all of us. When we can mindfully touch into our core potential though, all kinds of miracles can happen. Everything is touched and changed in an instant.

This potential for healing is found by mutually waking up to awareness. The sense of “I” and the Unknown make acquaintence and swim through the currents together until they reach shore. This really isn’t something we can make happen. It’s instead a question of all the possibilities in life. Life brings you back into Wholeness.

I have found, that when people come to see me in a vulnerable position, they are often willing to open up to their Inner Potential to see what else is avialable. An open mind is a great place to live in. This Potential can be physical, emotional, a belief system, heart connection, or spiritual.

As systems meld and blend, they come together in mutual satisfaction and unity. When inner resources find each other, something wakes up deep inside. The little nudge can initiate great change in a person’s inner environment. One of my main hopes in life is that we all self-realize that we are meant to come together on so many levels of living.

This may sound abstract, maybe it is. But from what I have witnessed, healing comes from two places really:

1. Grace

2. The ability to enfold into the dynamic change potential of who we are. The more we discover our authentic self through curiosity, witnessing and our experience, the more empowered and wise become. Throw in a little compassion, and the path becomes more clear, and more easy.

I have also noticed that when we begin to listen. Truly listen to the early signs, the easier it is to move through our challenges.

The question of “Why” Doesn’t really move us anywhere. Instead, when we fall down in life, dive it’s helpful to dive into our own potential. You may need others to help you. Most likely you will at times, but the “light” , whatever you need on a soul level, is right there, a living potential. Waiting. Reconnection is so vital.

What is Craniosacral Massage?

by SharonHartnett | Jul 10, 2024 | concussion, craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, healing, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K, mind body & spirit, stillpoint, upledger institute

What is Craniosacral Massage?

Many people call me asking for Craniosacral Massage. The first thing I do is listen to why a person wants to come in.

People speak about their health issues, and often state that they have heard about Craniosacral Massage. Yet they don’t really know what it is. It’s important to me to take the time to explain the foundational basics, and then to make sure they question and understand if this work is a good match for what they are looking for.

So I do want to start by clarifying that Craniosacral Therapy is not actually “Massage”. Instead, it is a light touch manual therapy with a very different focus. It’s based on the Craniosacral System and how it relates primarily to the Nervous System. Just to name a few, it’s great for people dealing with:

Chronic Pain
Headaches/Migraines/Concussions
Fibromyalgia
People looking for Body Centered Help with Trauma Release
Scoliosis
TMJ
Anxiety

You can find out more on the Cleveland Clinic site:
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/17677-craniosacral-therapy

or through the Upledger Institute.

See how a craniosacral therapist in Columbus can help you.

Also, there is a big difference between practitioners and therapists. Practitioners may have taken a class, whereas therapists going through a rigorous process to get certified through the Upledger Institute are much more thorough and deep into the work.

While the touch of Craniosacral Therapy is very light and simple in a way, there is actually alot of complex anatomy and techniques to learn, as well as taking the time to gain experience in order to become a professional and helpful therapist. So if you are looking for a qualified person to meet your needs, ask them about their backgrounds and specilties.

I love Craniosacral Therapy because it can help almost everyone. Craniosacral Therapy is also attentive and gentle-yet profound. It nudges the body into self-healing and deeper awareness. There are a few contraindications, but for the most part everyone can appreicate a healthier nervous system, more balance and fluidity through their bodies.

If you would like to find out more about Craniosacral Therapy, not craniosacral massage, please contact me and I offere free 10 minute phone consults.

Warmly,

Neck and Back Pain Specialist Found!

by SharonHartnett | Jun 30, 2024 | Craniosacral Therapy, Healthy Body, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K, mind body & spirit

Releasing Neck and Back Pain

Pain along the spine can arise from many different reasons. Some of these triggers can be serious and some can be helped tremendously with manual therapy. If you are experiencing, for example, problems with your bladder, infection, inflammation, or severe acute pain, go see your physician of course.

Quite often pain can come from misalignment, muscle tension, torsion in the fascial patterning, or overdoing a certain activity which creates tension. If the problem is structural, Craniosacral Therapy can be super helpful.

Craniosacral Therapy is much more of a listening therapy than a deeply aggressive type of bodywork. Have you ever gone for a massage and the pressure hurt and the tissues did not soften? Did you find yourself sore afterwards?

What’s great about Craniosacral Therapy is that, we as therapists. listen to the body tissues and allow them to show us the way into the dysfunctional patterns. There is no forcing, so the body doesn’t have to fight back. It’s much easier to access the tissues in the neck and spine this way for relief.

If you are struggling with neck and/or back pain, check out www.upledger.com. Usually, there is a way to free up the neck and back for more mobility and health. Give yourself an opportunity to move into health with gentle support.
