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.

Exhale! Take a break

Hello There,

Sit comfortably and start breathing.  You are going to watch your breathing thats it!  WATCH IT.  Do not
try to change it. When the monkey mind doesn't settle or you find your self spacing out REMIND yourself
