Somato Centered Therapy on the Table

The Concept of Somato centered bodywork, was incorporated into the therapeutic process of Craniosacral Therapy many years ago at the Upledger Institute.

SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is a theraeputic process that employs and expands the principles of Craniosacral Therapy through dialogue.

This particular type of somato communication can be done in silence, or when a person begins to process, verbal cues or responses may be offered for self-discovery work. Mostly this is practiced when the Craniosacral Rythm is moving the client through a profound change. However, it is not the job of a Craniosacral Therapist to counsel. Instead, we are trained to support a person who in on the table, and who is being challenged or needs help moving through cellular memory developmental or trauma experiences. We have been trained to be very gentle and to offer some techniques that take the client inward to help them find their own deep well of Inner Resources.

Each Craniosacral Therapist has their own unique skillset to help in dialogue work. Personally, I have studied Hakomi for two years, 8 years at the Barbara Brennan School Of healing, and also studied at SPI to help my clients who have gone through trauma.

This body centered work is powerful and gentle with an organic and mindful approach to healing. It feels very integrative to our clients, as well as self-empowering.

I Don’t Know How to Feel

Do You Know How to Feel?

From where I am listening, Billie Eilish is taking music to the next level. Her songs are helping the younger generation to know how to feel. However, it’s not just Gen Z and Gen Alpha, but truly anyone can appreciate the talent she brings forth through her music. I am in my 60’s, and her albums call me inward. I am amazed at her mindfulness, talent and the messages in her music.

Most recently, I have been listening to her songs a lot. “What I Was Made For” is just one of the many songs that has touched me. An artist, she creates a story about self- discovery. She takes us through a journey of healing over and over again through her delicate, gentle, and soft storytelling voice. My guess is that so many people are awakening to feeling through her sound.

I think about the work I do with Craniosacral Therapy. So much of it is about Healing. Listening to the music inside of each person, there is a symphony waiting to happen. An expression. A Happening. We only need to tune in and blend into the wave and the rhythm. Although it is a very physical process, it’s similar in that it is a mindful dance with life. Billie is fortunate, in that she delivers on a huge scale exploring how to feel. Open minds are fortunate in having life teaching through voice in such a courageous and talented way.

I admire the vulnerability in stating the collective human challenge right now in , “I don’t know how to feel”. So much of the violence which is happening in the world today is because beliefs get in the way of our protected emotions. We really are at a stage where it is worth the risk to open up more and be our own artists.

I hope that Billie and more young people catch this groove and continue to expose and be transparent and honest. We need this in the world today. As a soon to be grandmother, I enjoy seeing the world change, and the people in it. Let’s move forward for freedom of individuality, but also in love and acceptance for ourselves and for others.

Break the cycle. Be open to Learn How to Feel! Open the door.

Loving the Silence of the Heart

by SharonHartnett | Aug 10, 2024 | meditation, mind body & spirit, mindfulness, Spiritual Healing

Discover the Power of Silence

The absence of sound. Stillness. Quiet. There is such a rich quality of life that is found when we stop talking. It’s a black velvet void. It’s peace of mind. Yet, silence can’t quite accurately be described in words. Words are too limiting. The best way I suppose, simply put, it’s an experience of nothingness.

To discover silence, although nothing can take us directly there really. There are guidepost points that can make helpful suggestions. Here is a list of 5 things I recommend.

1. Mindfulness. Mindfulness is practiced by each person indiviudally. To begin though, it’s wise to bring the attention of awarness inward. Bring your open attention to the present moment in a “listening” mode. With an intention of open awareness, the quiet has an entrance point to come to you.

2. Go out into nature. Being outside gives us an aesthetic sense of the the beauty of life. It also allows us to quiet down into silence to observe the natural order of life as well. With the different moments, different seasons, we witness the cycles of life from birth to death. This can be a great learning experience. It can also bring forth spiritual transcendence experiences, along with joy and wonder. Also, being out in nature can make us feel more safe in our emodiment because of the deep meanings we find in the silence of nature.

3. Breathing. Breathing is at the core of keeping us alive. There is something so intrinsicly important about being connected to our breath. The best way to help us reduce stress is to breathe naturally. If you breathe shallow, breathe shallow. Visa Versa, if you breathe deeply, breathe deeply. Observe the experience of the breath without alterning. However, if the breath change on it’s own accord, be with the change. The breath takes us deep into the core of silence. Trust in the breath!

4. Stop talking for a certain amount of time each day. Sciecne has actually shows that this can help nourish brain cells.

5. Art. Expressing ourselves through art can be a very quiet endeavor. Finding our creative wave and allowing it to move through us, quiets the mind, and bursts forth expressions of life’s experience. The more immersed we are, the deeper rooted we can become in the engagement of the dance of silent exploration.

Silence is an experience of nourishment. I think that when we stop the busyness and give ourselves some space to be, that the rest in silence is so vitally important to our health and wellbeing. Yet so often overlooked in our daily schedules.

Be kind to yourself. Balance out your list of “to do” things with some empty quiet time. You’ll feel better. You’ll feel more rested. You may find yourself actually feeling more full in the emptiness. When the mind quiets, the heart sings.

How to Continue Feeling Your Best with Fibromyalgia Symptoms.

by SharonHartnett | Aug 6, 2024 | Energy Healing, fibromyalgia, healing, meditation, mind body & spirit

Were you diagnosed with Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia pain is not a simple diagnosis. It can reveal itself in different ways based on the uniqueness of each individual person. What we do know is that fibromyalgia does feel like heightened pain. It can show up anywhere on the body. However, normally a physician can diagnose by pressing on certain tender points. There are nine familiar locations found from the top of the body on down.

Flares can be brought upon by stress, hormonal changes and lack of sleep. Some people say weather changes can attribute to more pain as well. Whatever the cause, people with fibromyalgia suffer from body aches and fatigue.

Once you are diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, what is next?

What is now understood is that the central nervous system (CSN) has beeen overstimulated. Of course anything that calms the CNS is helpful. Check with your physician for any recommendations they suggest. Of course, there are also integrative practices that can be helpful too.

1. Yoga

2. Tai Chi and Qigong

3. Very Gentle Stretching

4. Walking

5. Meditation

Also, I’d be remiss if I did not bring up Craniosacral Therapy as a promising modality to help with fibromyagia. The Upledger Institute has taught many therapists who work across the world to work with clients through soft and gentle listening and melding with the Craniosacral System. Often my clients enjoy this manual therapy over massage because they don’t feel pain with the touch, nor do they feel sore afterwards. Their brains feel calmer and their bodies relax.

If you’d like to find out more about how Craniosacral Therapy can help you, check out the Upledger website. Find a Craniosacral Therapist, call and interview each practitioner until it feels like the best fit for you. Let me know on my blog how it goes, because I like to hear how CST can help!

How to Get a Good Nights Sleep: Craniosacral

by SharonHartnett | Aug 4, 2024 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K, upledger institute

Nothing helps me to get a good nights Sleep More than Craniosacral Therapy!

Are you one of those people who tosses and turns at night? The racing thoughts keeping you wide awake? Well I am.After Menopause, I found myself sleeping less and less.

One of the best things I decided to do is take Magnesium and other supplements which relax my body. But even better, I started treating myself to Craniosacral Therapy sessions once every week or two. That really calmed me down a lot. Something about the combination though worked best for me. Mostly because the tension inside melted away.

I am not a nutritionist. But I am a Craniosacral Therapist myself.Almost everyday I see how Craniosacral Treatments relax the nervous system. The peace of mind that arises after a session fills the room. It’s palpable in the joy that is present when a person can relax deeply inside.

The more that we nourish our bodies, minds, and spirit, we break the stressful patterns. We create a new way of Being that brings us deeper rest and Wellbeing.

Create your life afresh through inner calm.
