Easy Problem Solving In the Moment

by | Jun 26, 2024 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, healing, mindfulness, upledger institute

Problem Solving is an Intention.

Every day problems arise. They can all add up and feel totally overwhelming. Low grade stress can actually help. Especially when we have a lot on our plates. It helps us to become motivated to “Do”. Our body takes us into first gear.

On the other hand, when we are intentionally organized, we slow down and focus on what is right here, right now. The simplicity of this can bring effortlessness into any stressful situation. Quiet internal rest helps our mind and bodies to relax and make space to be better responsive to life and problems.

When we don’t use this structural equation of the dance between these two components of action and restful moments, it can become too much. We need balance between the doing and the “Being” to find peaceful resolution. It’s a combination of “Being” and taking “Action”. Mixing the both to be one is optimal.

Here is a great map to help us move through life more easily. There is flow, but there is clear direction. Clarity makes life so much easier.

The idea is to be mindful when action is needed. This includes being restful and allowing internal spaciousness. In this place of expansion, new ideas can come in. When we apply them to our clear structure, things get done. It’s the mix between balance point and motion.

Craniosacral Therapy can be very useful when we are streesed, overwhelmed and/or confused. It helps a person to settle into the body. It promotes healing, balance and motion. It calms the mind and brings most people back into the “Now”. This is the clearest place from which we can be living in.

Intentional problem solving is best done when it is not based in fear nor reactionary. Craniosacral Therapy in my practice has shown me how much a person’s stress system can calm down. My clients start anew with a fresh new attitude after sessions.

We are all in charge of our choices. And that’s what we have to live. “Yes” or “No”, live life in balance and with purpose if you are interested in the easiest way to develop and use problem solving skills. Find the calm inner strength inside of you and live from there!

Having Trouble Sleeping since Menopause?

by SharonHartnett | Nov 26, 2019 | Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K

Sleepless Menopause Nights

I don’t know about you, but once I hit menopause, I couldn’t sleep deeply anymore. In fact, sometimes I would just lie there for hours and hours, lucky to get 2 hours of sleep. I’d be so tired during the day. I’d look up menopause on fb pages, and most people were taking a lot of drugs. That did not seem like the best option for me. Although, I did try melatonin and a few other over the counter remedies. Most worked a little, but not really that great.

As a Craniosacral Therapist, I had of course worked with many people people who were going through difficult menopause symptoms: anxiety, lack of sleep, mood changes, hot flashes, night sweats and the rest. I knew I was helping my clients. They would share how much the work helped. But I did not expect that “I” would not get another decent night’s sleep again. I never thought this would happen to me. I had always been the one happily anticipated no more periods. But it did.

So I decided to go the Self-Care Route. And you know what? It really helped. Maybe after so many years of helping others, I realized that it was time for me and other women who are going through the “Change” to focus inward, and really get things integrated. So I decided to take my own advice and find a local Craniosacral Therapist whom I could trust, whom had great techniques and who knew how to dialogue with my body. I did find the perfect match.

It’s made me realize, that with all of my experience as a Craniosacral Therapist, trained through the Upledger Institute, I truly relate to all that a woman goes through during menopause. And I can hold a very sacred and sweet spot for women who are facing the many challenges that this change of life brings. I have moved through this, and I resonate with the way through now.

If you are looking for some help, I will say, getting back to a peaceful restful place is something that can take time and commitment. One has to have trust and be willing to move down deep into what is interruping the process of getting into a sleep state and staying there. If your physician has checked you out and everything else is showing up fine, we can delve into whatever your body, and mind are revealing during the sessions, allowing your Inner Wisdom to take you into balance. Craniosacral Therapy is deeply relaxing and when stress leaves, integration and peace ensue.

I have had many clients say that they are sleeping better, and in a general sense feeling much better refreshed in the mornings.If you would like to find out more, please call me for a 15 free phone consulations.

Be Yourself

by SharonHartnett | Aug 29, 2019 | Craniosacral Therapy, hakomi, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K

Normal is Overrated.

We live in a world where “normal” is overrated. So much of what we learn is how to fit in with the thinking of others. Especially when we are younger, our parents, teachers and friends ask us to memorize, to repeat, to make habits that are part of the current paradigm. Somewhere in all of this though, is you- wanting to find your own way of Being. It’s a tricky tightrope act learning to walk in both worlds between the authentic you and what is expected. Ultimately though, as we mature and grow up, for those of us who weren’t given much opportunity to be heard, acknowledged or hear praise, we must learn how to discard the package we have been sold. How to do this? 1. Be curious always 2. Step outside your box and see things from a view that comes from within you. 3. bring your awareness to your own sense of self before relating to others 4. allow yourself to receive and regulate “what’s out there” at your own pace and in whatever quantity is easiest for you. 5. practice connecting with your whole self and don’t let anything get in the way! Good luck unlearning all the bullshit, and finding the real you.

Craniosacral Columbus

Craniosacral Columbus

During the last 20 years, I have thrown myself into Craniosacral Columbus work. Why? Because I have seen so many positive results for my clients without having to dig in. I don’t have to create pain for the gentle release of pain to happen. It’s much easier for my clients.

For many years, I focused on deep connective tissue work. I thought that by leaning my body weight in that I could get great results. Often I did. But that type of work can be quite uncomfortable. So, I decided to go for the more light touch work that worked with the body rather than pushing through, to see if I could get as impressive results for pain relief and integration. I do!

When a Craniosacral Therapist listens, your body tells us where there are restrictions throught the rhytym of the functioning of the cerebral spinal fluid, and also the fascia. This “inner guidance” directs us where to go and how to support the Central Nervous (Brain & Spine Connection) system to function at its best.

The more I practiced Craniosacral Columbus therapy, I began to see my clients go deeper inside, releasing tensions and often stuck emotions. Their bodies relaxed. Their stressed disappeared. Many times, I have had clients falls deep into sleep after not being able to sleep for weeks. The fascia began to melt so easily, excess energy released, and people woke up with no pain, feeling clearer and happier.

This was an easy decision. If I could help clients… people in pain from car accidents, those dealing with concussions, and neck and back pain, those with high anxiety- the picture was clear. I found my way to serve.

If you would like to find out more about Craniosacral Columbus therapy work, contact Sharon Hartnett CST-D for information. She is an accomplished Certified Diplomate CST therapist who has reached the highest certification through the Upledger Institute. She has close to 30 years of experience in bodywork, massage, Hakomi and other healing techniques.

Feeling Better with Craniosacral Therapy

by SharonHartnett | Dec 1, 2017 | Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing

A question that invariably comes up at the end of each session is, “How long will it be until I am feeling better?”

That is a fair question. People want to be feeling better. They want to know what kind of investment they need to make in themselves in regard to time and money. I have been a Massage Therapist for about 20 years, and have been doing Craniosacral Therapy (CST) for about 15 years. And to be honest, I have to say, that if you have been in pain or suffering for years, it is possible to have a miracle with CST. I have seen huge changes in people, especially after multi-hand intensives. I have seen people in extreme pain get up off the table even after one session, so happy to be feeling better. But in actuality, it usually took years to fall into unhealthy stress patterns, and it usually takes multiple sessions to get better.

Feeling Better

An honest Craniosacral Therapist, or any good therapist for that manner- will never make you promises about your health. Why? Because thee is an Inner Intelligence in Your Body Mind that knows how to heal. And that is the way back to health. The rest of us therapists, are facilitators with tools in our bag, that can help with the process. But ultimately- it is up to you whether you heal or not.

Where does healing come from? Sometimes, we just heal by the grace of God. Our bodies, when healthy, can repair quite easily. So f we have enough internal resources, our body takes care of us really well. However, if we have chronically ignored our body signals, or have deep stress or have been in an accident- plan to make a commitment to your health and receiving the care that you need. Only you can make this decision to do whatever is needed to find yourself back in health.

With Craniosacral Therapy, our focus is to listen to that intelligence that is running through your body systems, especially the Central Nervous System. This includes the brain, the spinal cord and nerves throughout the body.. The Craniosacral Rhythm which results by the creation and reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid shows us where there is health and where there are restrictions in the body that keep us from optimal wellbeing. With a very light touch, a cranosacral therapist can help the body to self-correct. Because the touch is so gentle, the body does not defend against the support and nourishment.

Every person deserves to feel good in his/her body, the heart, and in spirit. And there is an innate wisdom that we each have been blessed with that can help. But it does often take time and numerous sessions if you are not well. I am being honest and promising nothing. But what I can say, is that the body is a doorway to healing on so many levels. And Craniosacral Therapy can be a wonderful way to set sail. You can benefit best by making the decision to commit to your healing journey with a Professional.
