Breathing to Integrate Trauma

When we experience trauma we loose our ability to remain calm and centered.  We become easily triggered and react to situations.  Unresolved physical, emotional and psychological pain freezes and becomes trapped in the layers of anatomy.  Our nervous systems must run on one or the other autonomic functions.  Sympathetic fight or flight/safety or parasympathetic/rest and digest function. 
Optimally one or the other is working while the other is resting at rest. 

Unresolved trauma can look and feel


Sympathetic agitation feels like this            

• trouble sleeping
• restlessness
• muscle tension
• rapid heart beat
• attraction to dangerous situatio
• angry or frustrated 
• quick to react - short tempered
• fearful - paranoid

Parasympathetic shut down feels like this

• spaciness & unfocused; forgetful
• helplessness
• hopelessness
• slow digestion
• depression
• chronic fatigue
• listlessness

In craniosacral therapy we can address these symptoms.  Trauma stops the continuous flow of electrial conductivity in the brain.  Sympathetic and parasympathetic work best when one system turns off and the other on.  Both cannot be running at the same time.  Total chaos insues and we see a barrage of symptoms starting to occur.

Working through a trauma takes dedication and a skilled professional to support you on this journey. Trauma is not like a physical injury.  Soreness, pain, swelling etc.

 But a sense of disconnection;  Need to control or the opposite-hopelessness.  

The lists above can help you to evaluate what you are physically feeling, emotionally reacting to and thoughts you might be thinking after a trauma.

Shifting your awareness to read subtle changes in your physical body, emotions/feeling and thoughts,

can help you begin to integrate the trauma physically instead of reacting from a heightened nervous state.

So how do we reeducate our neurons to rewire into healthy pathways? 

Start by Breathing!  Inhale and exhale through the nose.

Work towards bringing the breath down into your abdomen.

This can take some practice.  

Work up to 5-10 minutes in each sitting. 

This can take days, weeks, or months to accomplish.

But watch how your symptoms start to fade.

Once entrained in breath work the body will start to breath when it is stressed!!!  So amazing

Consider finding a counselor, massage therapist, craniosacral therapist, doctor that understands trauma.  And Breath!!!  Hope this helps and enjoy your day!

Lineage

Hi everyone, there has been alot of people clearing their lineage. At conception we not only link up our DNA, conscious of both families and our lineage. After conception up to 20 minutes after this connection all of these energies come together and we incarnate.....there is an energetic arising and it looks like a fountain spray! Our chakra and meridian systems ignite. We can become confused or completely clear about our path in life. Cranial sacral work can help us to become clear about who we are and who THEY are. Our boundaries are not clear at this point in time. Benefits of this time frame? Chronic fatigue, adhd, adoption, not feeling grounded where you live, anxiety and depression are classic symptoms of this time frame. What can we do about this. Cranial Sacral therapy can help us to make boundaries to all these other people in our lives. You can become clear about who you are and who THEY are. Drop all of their stuff and become happy and directed into your life path. We cannot change our DNA, lineage, and consciousness of others. But we can find our light instead of harboring all of the darkness. Be free, laugh and ignite your purpose. I witness this everyday in my work. Don't live an unhappy life. Find out who you are! We don't have to be monks and it doesn't take a lifetime. Schedule today! Enjoy, Breath and be happy

Defying Gravity

Hello all, I have been reading a book by Carolyn Myss.  This is a personal experience of chronic illness and how she healed.  This book is ground breaking in that she covers transformation through chronic illness and accidents.
I asked someone if they thought their body could heal itself.   The response was "yes, but I don't know how to do it, where do I start" .  This book is a place to start, its meaty and takes time to read it, if you don't get it, read it again.
And let it lead you to your spirit.   One thing leads to another.  Life has taught me if it doesn't resonate, let it be an open door. Stay the course, YOUR healing avenue and purpose will surface. Remember pain and illness are the illusion to your purpose and joy. This too shall pass!
If ordered through this blog site on amazon, proceeds will go for those who cannot afford services.
Money is energy, keep this in mind.  Don't worry about money or you will NOT manifest money into form/your life.  It will stop coming in!  Pay it forward Enjoy, relax and hydrate! Love to hear from you, comments are welcome!

Headaches/Part 2

Hello All, I would like to share my self care bible with you.  Acupressure is one of the easiest and most flexible treatments for common ailments.  You can stimulate points anywhere, driving in your car, sitting at your desk, talking on the phone,  working points on your lunch break, or  maybe when the kids are taking a nap.  The bottom line is acupressure can easily be  incorporated into our lives.

Pain is increased by fatigue, anxiety,  worry and life stress.

Practiced on a daily basis, acupressure can aid in building the immune system and increasing a sense of relaxation. Acupressure points aid in pain relief by releasing the neurochemical "endorphins".
Endorphins are the natural pain killers, produced by the body.   The only cost to you is stimulating the points. 
The nerveous system is retrainable, so when you take the time to use points on a daily basis, the brain will relearn that new pattern.  If repeated on a regular basis, the body will learn to relax in a shorter amount of time.
Using the points everyday will also affect the people around you.  Can you imagine the people around you happier, our lives rejuvenated instead of bogged down with pain,  healthy appetites, and lower stress levels?  I like smiling, having energy and feeling positive. How about you?
I can't think of an easier, cost effective way to reduce pain and lower our stress levels.  My favorite book for acupressure is Acupressures Potent Points by Michael Reed Gach.  Great beginner book for getting started.  It is now bound by duct tape and loose pages. 


We will address headache points today, but the points also address other ailments.

B2 - Drilling Bamboo, where the bridge of the nose meets the eyebrows.  Feel for indentations.

Also good for Relieves eye pain, hay fever, eye fatigue, and sinus pain.

St 3 - At the bottom of the cheekbone, below the pupil.
Relieves eye fatigue and pressure, nasal and head congestion, eyestrain and toothaches.




GB20 - Below the base of the skull, in the hollow between the two vertical neck muscles.

GB 21 & TW15 Relieve nerveous tension and relax the shoulders.





LI 4 in the web between the thumb and index finger, closest to the base of the thumb.

Relieves frontal headaches, toothache, shoulder pain, and labor pain.  DONOT USE ON PREGNANT WOMAN.  Can cause labor pain.

So there you have it.  A few points to help with headaches, migraines, shoulder tension and eye strain. 

Remember to Drink your water!  Hydrate.

Enjoy & Relax!
