Barbara Brennan’s School is situated in the South of Florida.
It moved there many years ago because Barbara Brennan wanted to find a location where Brennan Healing Science® could be learned in a college environment. It was her dream to make this work mainstream and used in a professional manner.
Since that time, many people from around the world have continued to attend, making this a Unique Environment to learn about Energy Dynamics and various Healing techniques. The program involves a four year commitment to graduate with the fundamentals of Brennan Healing Science® used as its foundation. The curriculum is all encompassing and is set up to help people with personal evolution as well as in helping people to bring healing into their lives, their careers, and in service to the world.
Brennan Professional Healers
What is gained from this experience is so much more than you could ever imagine. The many thousands of students who graduated from the school can attest to this. From the moment you enter into the beautiful vessel of Light called the Barbara Brennan School, you can count on being held and supported in a healing and growing container to evolve into the best you can be. The community is close-knit, and immediately one feels like part of the family and connected to the greater whole… from the beginning students from over 35 years ago, to the students there now, studying and participating in this program is only improved from one generation to the next. There is a common thread that all the students live with in their commitment to complete their personal and spiritual work that is rarely found elsewhere. This community of the Sacred Human Heart is something that will touch you in the deepest places.
Beyond the Awakening Skills and other changes one experiences, the students also learn to work with clients. This begins with first year students learning how to ground and explore their inner landscapes while being in contact with their clients. It is a good time to learn more about the Self, belief systems, but also how to hold color vibrations, and hold the lower levels of the fields. It is a wonderful time to strengthen the core through nourishment and nurture and self-inquiry. The second year takes the student even deeper. This is the year that relationships become key in the exploration process. For those interested in astral work, this is an adventure. Some of the skills that are learned are basic spine cleaning, working with the astral realm and diving through the darkness, learning to come back through with even more light. It can be a bit of a roller coaster, but well worth the ride. The third year feels more spiritual as the student learns to inquire into their relationship in the higher levels and to God. Authority issues are often questioned and encountered as the curriculum supports Surrendering into the Divine. It’s a very special year because of the beauty and light that shines through as one begins to touch deeper into Spirit. The fourth and final of the basic four year program includes writing a Case Review of a specific Client, and also writing a paper of how to bring your unique blend of Healing into the World. Other skills such as “hara” and Core Star® are also learned to help bring alignment and the Four Dimensions of the Physical, Astral, Hara, and Core Essence into integration in ones life.
Personally, I felt so inclined that I continued to go further with the BIP program to Supervise Students and Groups, and the ASED program which prepared me to teach. I was honored to teach the third year as a faculty member, and am forever grateful to have to received and also shared the teachings of this work. One of my favorite things to do is guide clients to find their own truth and light as they progress through the years at BBSH.
I know that people have questions about energy healing. Many of us have had experiences of Higher Sense of Perception where we perceive more than what most do with the naked eye. Most children have the abilities to sense beyond, but are taught to discount theses experiences. But something inside that wants to awaken keeps sending sparks of light out to remind us that we are much more than we ever imagined. The School is helpful for people who have experienced a kernel of the truth. It is a container of Love and Kindness with expertly trained people to pass on the skills needed to be a successful healer. And let’s face it- the world needs more healing!
So if you have any questions- or are wanting to do a session either in person or via phone/Skype, call Sharon Hartnett LMT for a session to help you find your way back to Grace. Telephone number is (614) 372-6598 in Columbus, Ohio.

Are you sure that you want to change your life?
Change means actually allowing habits to be broken. Are you up for the challenge?
Progress requires a price to pay, and you have have the power to change your thinking to volunteer for freedom. Your evolution is counting on your commitment.
Press the Blue Button for Change!
The majority of us face different places where we are stuck in our lives… yet the possibilities or awareness of positive change, indeed, is already resting in the Unknown, waiting to blossom and awaken the depths of your soul. But have you lost your connection to the creative process? Has joy and vitality escaped you recently? Are you ready to commit to breaking habits that have been holding you back?
Whether your creative amnesia falls under the categories of your personal inner landscape, business successes, health or even just learning how to relax and find quiet, those who feel stuck have become too accustomed to a certain sense of functioning whether it is healthy or not. We live in a world that we have created based on certain choices from a cellular level to the global consciousness in which we have grown and hopefully evolved somewhat. And being human, that often means limited beliefs. So- fortunate are we to be living in the matrix of our own reality which is always ready to expand and be taken to the next level, with each experience. Change is just a shift away.
Feeling stuck is an indication of stagnation. It can show up physically, emotionally, in our belief systems, our heart connections or spiritually. Indeed, it may take some time to even discover that we are have lost fluidity until discomfort or pain reminds us that something is out of balance. But rest assured, that we can find a way to wake up in order to be more proactive in bringing ourselves back into the unity.
So how does one heal areas in life where there feels to be no movement?
- The first thing is to become mindful of what is working in your life and what isn’t. In order to do this, it is important to be curious whether your thoughts are limiting you. Write down your stressful beliefs and begin to question the truths and the lies you tell yourself and others. You may not believe that you lie, but strategies and information has been taught to you that is not true. You have learned to believe these untruths. It is only in asking while experiencing discomfort that you can open to a new point of view. Connection to the whole is key.
- Bring awareness to sensations in your body that can offer vital information that can lead you back to your true essence. Listen to these subtle vibrations and trust their message. Ask your body to complete and cycles that are blocked from completion. Move with the rhythms of your body from the micro level to the large extended possible lengths.
- Be attentive to the thought that everything is temporary. Allow yourself to look at nature and remember the cycles of God’s creation here on earth. When nature’s form is through, it is finished and transforms into something new. One only needs to look at the butterfly to experience transformation. However, this change shows up everywhere and in everything. Birth and death may seem like reality, but something deeper than that is at play. Something that is whole and complete.
- Ask for help. I know this sounds easy, but often people don’t like to ask. If your body hurts, find a massage therapist or gym coach, if you are feeling emotionally stuck- find a psychotherapist, if you feel lonely-reach out to family and friends, if you feel disconnected to God- begin to meditate and pray. Remember at least one moment when everything felt like love and wholeness and begin to let go of everything that stands in the way of that connection. Ask for the Higher Self to guide you through your difficulties.
- Many people say it is the Will that takes you across the barriers. But the will itself is just another thought with some burst of energy behind it. If you want to change, it is necessary to be vulnerable and to feel deeply. Our defenses or strategies keep us stuck, and those need to be surrendered for real change.
If you want to experience progress in your life… self-discovery is essential. It all begins with you and your commitment to Self. When you can direct your positive intention inward and open up to miracles, life will show you want you have been longing for. Stay on track… and with others. We are all in this together.
Choose Freedom by acknowledging the truth in all things.

I know… sometimes life feels difficult.
But you are not alone!
Uplifting
If you are unhappy with the way things look, take time to change your thinking. That can change your life!
When you feel lost or afraid… when you feel disconnected, do the opposite of your thinking. Instead of being alone, get involved with others. Talk to your friends and family. Work with a therapist or a healer.
Look at life with fresh eyes and find the gold nugget in the sand.
We are not meant to be alone, and when you find the best people to keep in your life, they will lift you up and help you awaken.
Waking Up to life makes everything more clear.

Allow Structural Integration to help you to find your breath and breathe freely again.
Breathing is actually more than bringing air into the lungs and then expelling it out. While breath is the primary life force in sustaining life, it is also a natural massager of the most internal areas of your body. When you breath in, the strong diaphragm moves and the ribcage and everything within is in a state of constant expanding and contracting. Gases and circulation are being engaged. Fluids are rushing through the veins and arteries. The wave of movement can actually reach down to the tips of your toes which you can experience if you take the time to be mindful of breath and its’ far reaching capacity to nourish life. The body is a miracle and unlabored smooth breath can keep you healthy.
Positives of Healthy Breath- sleeping better, reducing the effects of high blood pressure, when there are good levels of oxygen in the system-cancer finds it more difficult to live, anxiety and depression can be relieved with fuller deeper breathing. The heart is supported when there is less tension with the ribcage. People who practice yoga and breathing techniques feel more connected between the mind body & spirit to name a few.
One of the best things you can do to open up the breath is receive work that lengthens and softens the surrounding fascia around the ribcage and and by releasing any restrictions nearby. Gentle and more detailed work with the connective tissue under and on the ribs allows more movement and freedom and relief is often experienced. Often ribs get stuck or moved our of alignment and when freed up, global pain in all parts of the body can diminish dramatically too. With just one session of Structural Integration or diaphragm releases, you should feel more centered, healthier and flexible.
Freedom Within

Touch is a magical way to enter into another’s space.
It is a way of expressing and nurturing life.
When this contact of touch happens, nerve cells send messages to your brain about tactile sensation. One kind of receptor is the mechanoreceptors that give you information about pushing, pulling and movement. The second group is the thermoreceptors that tell you about sensations of temperature. These are the physiological responses that occur in your body that help you to learn to navigate and live in a physical world. The body listens and it then dances with its environment through this type of dialogue.
Informational Communication
While this is a basic understanding on the physical level about our inner workings, the next question is what else happens?
When information is digested, emotions and thoughts can arise. Often unresolved patterns that are frozen and need help to complete their natural organic cycle of life show up. Everything changes in the Universe and everything concludes in itself and gives birth again when given the opportunity. Touch is an excellent way to initiate the new movement Within to support change.
As a Massage Therapist and Craniosacral Therapist, again and again, it is easy to see that gentle touch can be very heart-centered and healing. Often when clients have felt abused or traumatized, gentle touch can help clients to relax and feel things that have felt stuck. Clients often gain insights and new understanding into their beliefs and limitations. Old feelings are unleashed and are able to integrate so that people can find the balance they seek. Unlocking old configurations is freeing and unburdens us to live more in the moment.
From my Craniosacral Therapist Perspective: While the brain may be the thinker of humanity, it is the Sacred Human Heart and it’s ability to shine through that brings us back into harmony and our Divine Essence. Having the technical know how is important but learning to reach other human beings through compassionate touch is life saving to some. Allowing the mind to serve the heart rather than the other way around is important if we want to connect to Source.
As human beings, when we touch with compassion, we enter into a doorway to open our limitations into a more unitive state of being.
Not only is touch healing, but it is a remembrance that we are not alone in this world. Connection is so essential to the human soul. We always yearn for it… Many are seekers of it. In our society touch is very compartmentalized and minimal. Massage Therapy and other types of bodywork give us permission to open up again on so many levels of consciousness.
One research that I just read….left me more clear about how touch relieves pain. I’d like to share it with you-
It’s is positive thing to have science behind the benefits of touch to remind how essential connection is…. So spread some compassion with touch today if you dare!

How can a Craniosacral Therapist treat you effectively with good listening skills?
It’s not enough for a therapist to go through a routine with you during a session.
If your body is in pain or feeling out of alignment, it’s necessary to look and feel where the dysfunction, rotations, or twists are occuring.
Belief it or not- your body has the information it needs to reconnect to healing. You may need external help too, but by accessing your internal environment, the body gives you cues what needs to be done to get you moving toward health again.
In Craniosacral Therapy, the session begins with Listening.
As Craniosacral Therapists, we go to the Listening Stations to get an idea what is going on with the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). This clear and colorless liquid that bathes the brain and spinal cord is primary to cushioning the brain within the skull and also serves as a shock absorber for the central nervous system. The CSF also allows for the circulation of nutrients and the chemicals filtered from the blood and rids the waste products away from the brain. Thus, the CSF is responsible for keeping the brain and surrounding membranes and spine healthy. So when Craniosacral Therapist using mindful curiosity to gather information about flow and circulation- rich information is collected that will aid in balancing and removing restrictions that may be causing pain and other ill effects. A healthy spine and brain are key for overall health and wellness.
Craniosacral Therapy Listening
The above picture is a good anatomy representation of how the fluid moves and bathes the nervous system. It doesn’t show much about how the semi-hydraulic system operates, but it does give you a useful model to see the proximity to the brain and the basics of the CNS. It’s enough to know that by using the bones as fulcrums or just listening quietly to the rhythm anywhere on the body that by following and making small adjustments, that better balance is established, restrictions are released, and enhanced circulation and communication in the human body can take place.
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle and non-invasive practice that creates positive changes in your life on many levels. When pain and dysfunction begin to dissolve on a physical level, the emotional and belief systems begin to shift too. As flow is increased, often clients walk away with more energy, feeling healthier, and more flexible in movement and in life as a whole.
Craniosacral Therapy works well with the following conditions:
- Back and Neck Pain
- Brain Trauma
- Headaches and Migraines
- Anxiety
- PTSD
- Fibromyalgia
- MS
- Learning Disabilities
- Colic
- Autism
- TMJ
- Post Surgical Conditions
- Scoliosis
- Central Nervous System Disorders

One of the greatest things about Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is that this modality is all about trusting your own body’s wisdom to heal.
Yes it is important to find a Craniosacral Therapist who is knowledgeable and has good experience with your issues. However- the best session will be all about having faith in the process.
During a Craniosacral Session, the first thing your practitioner will do is listen to your body to find out where there might be dysfunctional patterns that lead to pain and other ailments. This is done by starting at the feet and moving up to the head in order to check for amplitude, symmetry and other qualities of the craniosacral rhythm throughout the body. Once the primary lesion is discovered, it is easy to go to that area and start the session for healing. The rest is about following the body’s response to the work.
During evaluation and thereafter, Craniosacral Therapy touch is gentle and non-invasive. There are very few contra-indications with CST, yet the effects are far reaching and profound in your healing process. The primary benefits that you will first feel are relief of pain, more flexibility and often more vitality. By working primarily with the Central Nervous System as the focus, a Craniosacral Therapist can dialogue with every other body system to support the integration of full body functioning. Often clients are unexpectingly surprised that there can be so much change in attitude, feeling and sensation after just a few session.
