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!

When Nature & Nurture Shape Opportunities

Nature & Nurture Awaken the Inner Intelligence Within

Let’s talk about Nature & Nurture. From a Craniosacral Therapy Perspective, an experienced Craniosacral Therapist knows that each individual has a working Inner Intelligence Living Within. This Inner Intelligence is a Deep Conscious Awareness. I see it as the essence of each person connected to.a Higher Source. At least these are the best words which I can describe it.

This Inner Intelligence is constantly working to support the health of our physical bodies, our emotional state, our thinking patterns, our relationships and even our connection to spirituality and what we call God. For example, we hardly don’t even have to think about getting out of bed in the morning, straightening our legs so that we get begin to walk through our day. It’s an effortless flow for most of us. Everything is aligned and we begin to move our lives through time and space here at home within our bodies.

In any case, this Intelligence miraculously brings us to life. It allows us to interact with the world we know. It’s in a constant dance with Nature & Nurture.

Biologically we have genes that get turned on. From the time of conception, the heredity influence unfolds into this unique song that makes us who we are. Our environments have their own unique sound, and blend with our systems to create new relationships and growth patterns. These two influences mutually work together to create our Life Experiences for us as individuals. I would say in a larger sense as well.

Such a dynamic pairing: Nature and Nurture. However, there are times when we do get stuck in a glitch. The Intelligence Within is always available, but our choices and life experiences can begin to isolate us or limit our potential. Our genetics can get tripped off into a disease process, or our environment can become toxic or painful for us to live in through certain influences and choices. Triggers could be anything from things like early abandonment, trauma, developmental support lacking and so on. This history, as we live it, is held in the posture and tissue of the body. When we don’t feel connected and in sync with Nature & Nurture, we don’t thrive.

From a Craniosacral Therapist stance, the first thing we do when we work with a person is to connect with ourselves and to create a safe and healthy environment. This connects us with our own nature & nurture qualities and inner wisdom. Then we listen to the person who comes to see us fully and with intention to connect to their own inner intelligence. My hope is that as a team, and while plugging into Source, the techniques and intelligence in my system will nourish the missing steps or pieces to re-awaken what is needed for wellness.

By working with the Craniosacral System, we can listen and sense deeply into another. By melding and blending we encourage and give a little nudge to help release and to restore healthy communication and dialogue. The Nervous System especially feels this healing touch. Integration brings everything back together .People process, but by the end of a session, usually they find a deeper peace and sense of knowing themselves. The Craniosacral Rhythm is restored. That’s because the Inner Intelligence is awakening and moving us to the next level of wellness.

Nature & Nurture are at the foundation of who we are if we are to be healthy and thriving. None of us are meant to live alone. We all need support to keep our own resources reinvigorated and vital. It’s the bond that pulls life together which makes us stronger and more vibrant. Sometimes this is done internally, and sometimes we need to fill in the gap through our relationships.

Learn to connect to Your Own Inner Intelligence. We are all able to do this. Our Higher Selves, when we clear the way, will always keeps us on the Path which brings the best to our soul. When we are able to receive and give through nature and nurture freely, we have more power to influence and co-create in health and wellbeing.

How to Move Effortlessly Through Life

Grounding: Move Effortlessly with Grace

Move Effortlessly. It’s easy to escape the moment. To not be fully present. The mind easily wanders into the past with regrets and guilt. Undoubtably it moves forward with worry and anticipation as well. This is to be human.

However, what if there is a way to engage with life more deeply and fully?

I was reading FB today and came across a beautiful post about grounding. I feel it’s so important to connect to the earth. She supports us and nourishes us continuously. We are made of the earth, and she lives within all that we are. So I am including this writing by “Lowen” to share here. Let go of your burdens my friends… Discover Your Human Body.

Lowen is credited with coining the word “grounding” in the physiological and psychological sense and emphasizing it’s importance in human development. I believe it has now become a term widely understood (if not precisely understood) in the broader pop culture.

“Once he is grounded, a person no longer holds himself up but allows the ground to support him. By coming down to earth, he finds that his blood pressure also drops. But effecting that kind of change requires a commitment to the body and to a way of life that respects the body and it’s needs.

Unfortunately, our culture is moving away from the body as the source of feeling and spirituality. Our fitness programs are not designed to enhance the sensitivity of the body but to hone it as if it were a machine. In so doing, they produce people who are fit only to run the race of life. I suppose that if reaching the top is one’s goal in life, our modern-day fitness programs may help. But if one’s goal is to experience the joy of being fully alive, the excitement of feeling part of this pulsating universe, and the deep satisfaction of being a person who is both graceful and gracious, one must turn elsewhere.

When I was a young man, being “earthy” was regarded as a virtue. I never hear anyone descibed that way anymore. Has the quality of having one’s feet on the ground lost its meaning? I believe it has. The modern individual is more properly described as “flying high and fast”. It is hard to slow down when the world is racing by. It is difficult to be grounded when the culture itself is ungrounded, when it denies reality and promotes an illusion that success represents a higher state of being and successful people live richer and more fulfilling lives. All the same, the real values of life are “earthy” values: health, gracefulness, connectedness, pleasure and love. But these values have meaning only if one’s feet are planted firmly on the ground.”

– Alexander Lowen from The Spirituality of the Body

To Move Effortlessly is freedom and Joy
