Finding Your Light

Written by Sharon Hartnett, CST-D — healer, certified craniosacral therapist, trauma-informed practitioner. Serving the Columbus, Ohio area, and at a distance.

Empowerment

Yesterday was a good day. I had three incredible connected people leave my office after amazing Craniosacral Therapy sessions that changed me, but even more importantly changed them.

It’s not that I am a fantastic healer. But I will say that yesterday I was right in my groove for holding a sacred space for these women to drop into the deepest well inside, to access transformational energy in their nervous systems, to make life feel “right” again in their bodies. They were ripe. I was ripe—and magic happened.

This Is Not Foo-Foo

I don’t want this to sound foo-foo, because it is not. My work is based in science and many years working with whole people through somatic therapy and energy work focused on embodiment. But I am so happy that through all these last 30 years of working, I see real change—big change—change that matters with my clients. One month ago, I had a client say after one session that her life was completely changed. The work was powerful, and the world called her to shift. When a person is ready, everything will come into alignment to bring forth the Core Star, the Light which is the true you: magnificent and holy and so very Light.

It’s the Work, Not Me

It’s the work! It’s not me. It’s the person who longs to change and trusts themselves to open up like a ripe melon and taste the delicious sweetness and strength of the soul. I sit or stand on the side and I ask questions when helpful, hold the body when needed, use techniques that nudge the system to turn on and optimize. It’s the melding of two systems moving into unity and expansion. Two forces informing, with one person (me) holding space for the other to grow into a bigger experience of Self and Other.

Yesterday, one client connected with a core wounding and released such deep trauma, reconnecting with her authentic Self. Another client had walked in misalignment for years and can now move with light grace with each step. The last client suggested I charge more. I love the great feedback, and to observe—because as I deepen and receive, I have more to offer. So do you too. It is in our potential to gather and exponentially shift everything.

Now Is the Time

I say this all because right now, on earth, we need each other and we need to discover our own sense of empowerment again. It’s time for ordinary people to awaken to the full breath of their “Being.” You are more than you can even imagine.

Whether you come see me, or another healer, craniosacral therapist or manual bodyworker—do it for you. Do it for this world. Many of us have been waiting to wake up this world and bring in more and more Light. It’s time now.

It doesn’t matter what religion you are, the color of your skin, the class society has classified you into—find a friend, find a therapist and make something wonderful in your relationships. Bring it back to you, and then spread it back out.

Now is the time. Sure, I had a great day yesterday. Mostly because I know I made a positive difference. That feels so darn rewarding. Don’t get misled into thinking you are small—never do that. Too much of that going on in the world. Instead, move into your greatness my friends. We shall overcome!

How Pain and Fear Can Lead to Healing and Wholeness

How Pain and Fear Can Lead to Healing and Wholeness

by | Jun 15, 2025 | change, Craniosacral Therapy, healing, healthy, Healthy Body, Spiritual Healing, trauma, upledger institute

healing emotional pain and fair

It’s easy to push pain and fear aside—but when we turn toward them with compassion, we open the door to true healing.

Pain gets a bad rap. Truly, it does. But so does fear.
Who wants to voluntarily feel either of those?

The truth is, both are messengers—part of our inner guidance system—and they play an important role in healing emotional pain and fear. These sensations are not signs of weakness. They are invitations into deeper awareness, vulnerability, and ultimately, transformation.

Pain: More Than Just “Ouch”

Most people think of pain as an unpleasant experience—and it is. It’s the nervous system’s way of saying, “Something isn’t right.” Whether the wound is physical, emotional, or even energetic, the message is the same: pay attention.

Pain is also deeply personal. No two people experience it the same way. But when we stop resisting it and begin to listen, pain becomes something more—it becomes a doorway. A chance to come home to the places in us that have been neglected or pushed away.

Fear: A Powerful Instinct That Can Be Healed

Fear often gets lumped in with weakness, but it’s actually one of our most ancient protectors. It’s rooted in survival. For humans—who are social animals—fear helps us detect danger, avoid harm, and stay connected.

But here’s the twist: when fear becomes chronic, it holds us hostage. Instead of protecting us, it keeps us stuck. That’s where emotional healing comes in—not by overriding fear, but by slowly and gently meeting it.

Healing Emotional Pain and Fear: A Path Through the Body

In my practice, I often support clients through craniosacral therapy and somatic healing—both gentle methods that invite the body to relax, unwind, and return to its natural rhythm.

When the body feels safe, it stops defending.
When it stops defending, it starts integrating.
And when integration happens, the healing begins.

Through this process, people begin to heal emotional pain and fear not by numbing or avoiding, but by allowing themselves to feel. Over time, they become more grounded, more whole, and more connected to their true selves.

You Don’t Have to Walk This Path Alone

Healing fear and pain isn’t linear. It unfolds in layers. Sometimes, it’s messy. Often, it’s uncomfortable. But it’s also real—and freeing.

If you’re in Columbus and you’re ready to explore what healing can feel like in a safe, nurturing environment, I’d be honored to walk with you.

Your body holds the wisdom.
Your fear holds the key.
Your pain holds the map.
Let’s listen together.

Unlocking Your Next Timeline: How to Shift Your Best Life Path 

Unlocking Your Next Timeline: How to Shift Your Best Life Path 

by | Jan 18, 2025 | change, craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, healing, healthy, Healthy Body, Spiritual Healing, trauma

What is Jumping a Timeline?

How did this idea of a Jumping Timeline arise? This shift of consciousness is part of the Great Awakening. I have been in the world of Energy Healing for about 30 years.  I came from a 4 dimensional Healing Model based on Barbara Brennan’s work in “Hands of Light” and also studied and taught at her school.  Things have changed greatly in the last 30 years.  Minds have opened.  Reality has shifted dramatically.

At that time in the 1990’s, the Barbara Brennan School of Healing was a vital “transformer” of consciousness. Barbara brought many of the eastern principles to the West to open the portal for the change of consciousness. Time was spent on healingn oneself, and our relationships as well. Thousands of people across the globe went to her school to learn and to open up.  Even now- being part of that Energy Capsule brings a great perspective of looking at healing in the physical, the auric field, the haric field and in the Core Start (Divine Indivuated You).

More recently though, I heard so much about “Jumping Timelines” and I noticed it showing up so much in spiritual discussions and in books.  Well also on Tic  Toc with the teaching of Bashar. Lots of younger people seem convinced that we can jump timelines by just imagining our best selves. Kind of like looking at a book with many chapters. With each chapter as one possible version of how things can be. When you skip to the other, reality shifts. This means your reality is fluid and can shift, creating new possibilities. This paradigm reminds me a bit of Joe Dispenza’s work of transformation into a new personality and a new life.

Personally, I am still grappling, not with the understanding from my POV, but that of what do these other people mean? Are they personally experiencing timeline shifts?  What does that look like for these individuals?

Questions:  For people, does it mean setting an intention?  Does it mean visualizing and making a new choice? Is this about the multiverse and quantum physics?  How much do we truly understand this?  Even with AI… How much do our ordinary mindset’s open up to how vast the processing of consciousness and technology can be?  We are in the midst of great change here on earth now. Do you feel it?  Big changes within human consciousness and all of life is at a tipping point. Where will this take us?

I believe that all of this is fascinating.  I stay so curious about all the possibilities.  The smartest thing I know about myself is how much I “don’t know”.  Life is about living in the mystery and living in the moment if we want to live fully.

At the same time,  I just don’t think humanity is at a point where we can force our thinking to taking us to the next level.  There are many levels of consciousness that need to align first.  We need to find a way to free ourselves from attachment to the past, and fear of the future.  I am not suggesting forgetting again, but integrating!  To move to the next timeline means gaining clarity and find effortless in the new moment as Eckart Tolle teaches.

Instead, right now-I think we are living on a planet where there is deep duality still. There’s so much suffering, pain and trauma. It’s not yet easy to just flip the switch for most of us. Instead, I think this is the time to face ourselves, to accept who we are, and to move with grace. Yes, to imagining our “best” selves in the future, tapping into our wholesness.  But living in the moment is where it all is.

I think it’s best to create an invitation in our mindset of the thinking about our “wholeness”.  The things we care about or long for most likely live in a parallel universe, but that universe is HERE.  Dealing with what we are creating, the responses to that and the all external environment.

For many years, Light Workers have been working and holding a space for growth and jumping timelines. The next generation are learning and awakening exponentially. In so many ways, they are moving so much quicker than we did. What took us years, takes them weeks spiritually to feel and to understand. Many are born with spiritual gifts. A great example are the children with autism who are non-verbal.  You can learn about this at:  The Telepathy Tapes. But still, we need to bridge the way even more. We can’t bypass the challenges to jump ahead. The passing of the baton is the way through transformation, transcendence and consciousness awakening.

How to Jump the Timeline

If we want to be jumping timeline it takes mindfulness, authenticity, effort and also stillness. It’s an invitation and a step forward.

Living Here is the way of Jumping Timeline. Be yourself. Choose love.  Self-Discover your deepest wisdom. Have the willingness to be open to the Unknown. Make the commitment.

More than anything, realize it means feeling and knowing your shadow and your darkness.  Being brave enough to walk through the fire to the Light.  You can’t bypass your way into a better reality. However, you can make the move.  It’s up to you.

Things are Happening

Right now, so many changes both in the Light and Dark are here. Love has come to awaken all of us.  This is your chance to be Jumping Timelines, but what that means is making the best life for you right here, right now now, and seeing how that change ripples through the Universe.

If this Sounds Interesting to You

Let’s talk about where you are spiritually right now.  Let’s set up a 15 minute free phone consultation to see if I can help lead you to your best version of yourself.  If you want to feel that sense of empowerment to level up, I’d love to support you on your journey!  Or- just share your thoughts here!

How to Find Yourself in the Healing Process

How to Find Yourself in the Healing Process

by | Jan 15, 2025 | barbara brennan, change, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, healing, healthy, Spiritual Healing, upledger institute

Healing

The Healing Process is built on many moments of Life.

The Truth: Moments Unfolding with Change is Authentic Healing. Things do change instanteously and miraculously, but often in life relationships and time, one experience leads into another. The same thing occurs with the healing process.

 

For people hoping to Heal

Slow it Down With Grace

I get that you want things to happen quickly, and that’s totally normal.  You may also want to feel a deep shift in the first session.We live in a world where everything feels like it’s supposed to happen now. Or maybe you have been feeling uncomfortable or in pain for a long time. I get that can be difficult.  However, when it comes to life and healing, the truth is, the “process” is where all the real growth and change happens. Healing isn’t like flipping a switch, it’s like planting a seed. You can’t rush a seed to grow into a tree—it takes time, care, and patience.

In the process, you’re learning, adjusting, and becoming stronger. It’s not always easy, and it can feel frustrating, but the struggle is actually what builds resilience. Think of it like lifting weights—at first, you can’t handle much, but little by little, your strength increases. That’s how emotional growth works too. It’s in the moments that feel slow, or even stagnant, that you’re really building the foundation for long-term change.

So while you may want results now, the process is what makes those results sustainable. If you skip steps or try to rush it, you might end up back where you started, without having truly learned what you needed to. The key is to trust that the process, though uncomfortable at times, is actually your path to the very thing you’re craving—whether it’s peace, strength, clarity. It’s all happening in the journey, not just at the destination.

I share this with you because unrealistic expectations can actually stop the healing. In order to avoid disappointment, realize that the Healer is within You and it will happen as you are truly ready. A therapist or healer can help meet those places inside that desire change. They can nudge and hold a healing space for that change to happen. But most importantly your Higher Self must be tapped into for those places that feel stuck and may need to feel reassured in many different ways and on different levels.

The Journey of Healing is an ongoing process. Perhaps what you need will be resolved in one session. But it’s important for you to realize that the more complex the issues, more likely your healing team will need to re-evaluate on an ongoing basis.

One thing is certain though. Healing is an investment into yourself. You are worth it, and miracles can happen. Still be patient with yourself and the process. The flow will take you into the most unexpected and special places.

How Does Energy Healing Work?

How Does Energy Healing Work?

by | Dec 24, 2024 | Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, healing, mind body & spirit, mindfulness, Spiritual Healing

Energy Healing

What is energy healing, and how does it work? It is a question that invites us to explore the relationship between the body, mind, emotions, and our experience of ourselves.

In my practice, energy healing begins with presence, listening, and an openness to what may unfold. Rather than trying to force a particular outcome, I create space for people to slow down, become more aware of themselves, and explore a deeper sense of connection and well-being.

My work is informed by my training in Barbara Brennan Healing Science and my experience as a hands-on practitioner. Each session is an opportunity to meet the individual with care, respect, and an appreciation for their unique experience.

What Is Energy Healing?

Energy healing is an umbrella term for practices that work with concepts of subtle energy and the relationship between a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual experience.

Different traditions understand energy in different ways. Some describe an energy field surrounding and interpenetrating the body; others emphasize the relationship between awareness, intention, and the experience of well-being.

In my practice, energy work is an opportunity to become more present, explore subtle sensations, and develop a greater awareness of oneself. People may experience relaxation, emotional reflection, a sense of connection, or simply a quiet space away from the demands of everyday life.

Experiences vary from person to person, and energy healing should not be understood as a substitute for medical care.

How Does an Energy Healing Session Work?

An energy healing session begins by creating a comfortable, supportive environment. We take time to discuss what brings you to the session and what you hope to explore.

During the session, I work with attentive presence and the principles of my training. Depending on the approach, this may involve hands-on or hands-near-body techniques, quiet observation, and an awareness of subtle sensations.

I do not expect you to feel something specific or to make anything happen. You are invited to rest, notice your experience, and remain comfortable throughout the process.

Some people describe warmth, tingling, a sense of spaciousness, or deep relaxation. Others have no distinctive physical sensations. There is no single correct experience, and the absence of noticeable sensations does not mean you have done anything wrong.

The purpose is to provide a supportive setting for self-awareness, reflection, and personal well-being. Sessions are available in my Worthington office or by phone or video from anywhere.

The Importance of Listening and Presence

One of the most important aspects of energy work is learning to listen without imposing expectations.

In my practice, I value stillness, sensitivity, and the ability to meet each person where they are. Rather than assuming that everyone needs the same thing, I allow the session to develop according to the individual’s comfort, intentions, and responses.

For me, this quality of listening is central to the work. It encourages a more attentive relationship with ourselves and gives us time to notice experiences that can easily be overlooked in the busyness of everyday life.

What Can People Experience Through Energy Work?

People explore energy healing for many different reasons. Some are looking for a restorative experience during a stressful period. Others are interested in personal growth, spiritual exploration, or developing a stronger connection with themselves.

People may describe feeling calmer, more reflective, emotionally aware, or more connected after a session. These are individual experiences rather than guaranteed outcomes.

Energy healing is best approached with curiosity and realistic expectations. It may complement other wellness practices, but claims that it cures illness or reliably changes the body’s physical energy systems are not established by strong scientific evidence.

Energy Healing and Personal Growth

For many people, energy work is not simply about what happens during a session. It can also be an invitation to pay attention to how they live, how they respond to stress, and how they relate to themselves and others.

A session may provide time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with personal priorities. For those who approach energy work from a spiritual perspective, it may also be a meaningful part of an ongoing journey of self-discovery.

My intention is to support that exploration with care and respect, without dictating what someone should feel or believe.

Exploring Energy Healing Further

If you are curious about energy healing, it can help to learn about the different approaches, understand what a session involves, and consider what feels right for you.

My work draws on my training in Barbara Brennan Healing Science and my experience supporting people through gentle, attentive practices. I welcome questions and believe that an informed, comfortable choice is an important part of beginning any new wellness practice.

Benefits of the Undefended Heart

Benefits of the Undefended Heart

by | Sep 13, 2024 | Craniosacral Therapy, love, mindfulness, Spiritual Healing

Knowing Love in an Undefended Heart

How many people feel comfortable living deeply embedded in the love of their own hearts?  I am not talking about the intense passionate feeling we have for a partner.  Instead I am talking about an embodied sense of being True to Yourself.  Caring about yourself, and opening up to your Essential Self.

It takes courage to push away those layers of protection surrounding your heart. But aren’t you curious what is underneath everything you have been taught and believed?  Peeling away the onion is an honesty and acknowledgment check.  But it’s worth your while to self-realize love.  Feeling love deep inside spreading through everything you are is the best!

There are many ways to discover the love living inside you.  The easiest way is by building your confidence back up.  How do you do this?  By being real with yourself.  This is a two fold process.  One is by noticing and writing down the beliefs you hold that make you believe you are “less than” or “bad” . Any negative belief.  Question those beliefs and the validity of them.  Second is to Choose Love and physically move toward your heart.  Is it a smooth ride?  or are there obstacles in the way?  Bring mindfulness in and question.

You can take this journey yourself, or you can enlist friends or see a therapist.  Relationships though are key to opening up the love in your heart.  We are meant to work and play through life with others.  This include the easy and the hard times.

How an Undefended Heart can Benefit You:

1.  You feel better inside your body. Dopamine, oxytocin and seratonin take you into a state of pleasure.

2.  You feel more appreciation for life.

3.  It’s easier to be clear about your goals and how to accomplish them on a soul level.

4.  Life is easier to navigate when other things are difficult when you are centered in your heart.

5.  Developing meaningful friendships are easier when you feel kindness and love for yourself.  People are happier when they are helping each other with care.

6.  Love reduces stress and anxiety.  It brings in a sense of calm.

7.  Love promotes healing.

Love is the evolutionary tool available to all of humanity. It’s free, and available for each of us.  Take the leap… Move towards Love and see what it can bring you the deeper you go!
