REMOTE SESSION 7th FEBRUARY - HEART TWO

CRANIAL CONNECTIONS
One way that CranioSacral Therapy can help our physical hearts is through assisting the function of one if its controllers, the pair of vagus nerves. If you’re holding tension in your neck at the cranial base, and many people are, this can restrict those nerves. So we’ll start with a releasing technique for this area. Is there some life stress making you tense here? Maybe there's some way you can cope with that better in everyday life.

2019 - GLOBAL AND LOCAL - EARTHCARE AND PEOPLECARE

Have a wonderful year in 2019 everyone!
I hope you can join in our regular Free Thursday Remote CranioSacral Energy sessions from wherever you are - they're 21.15 to 22.00 pm, UK time - they've been part of a fascinating year of exploration for me in 2018. There's lots of areas I want to explore more this next year...
HIGHER DIMENSIONALITY?

Maybe space and time themselves can be enfolded like these cerebellar cortex cells - so that by choosing to function at a higher vibration we can make connections that transcend our normal concept of space-time

Rippling Light

It's just coming up for a year since we moved in to our flat here in Perth, and what a brilliant year it's been. It's been so good to be near to my kids and grandkids and some of my oldest friends again, and back in familiar places, some of which haven't changed a lot since I was a kid here myself.
It's also been brilliant to get back into the way of treating people in the hands-on way again and swapping treatments with old and new friends who like to explore and extend what they're doing. This has opened up a whole new appreciation of CranioSacral Therapy and treatment in general for me. (How crazy to be starting out afresh at the ripe old age of 65...) This in turn has led to whole new realms opening up in our remote treatment group sessions, particularly to do with effects going on within the cerebrospinal fluid itself. I'd always thought of its flow as being quite simple, but not at all.

The more I focus into the fluid itself, the more I find new patterns appearing. At the physical level, I've been feeling an expansion and contraction of the sacrum which seems to be part of the system for pumping the fluid around our central nervous system, and many more rhythms beyond the basic ebb and flow we learn about in the basic Upledger courses. There's the longer tides observed in Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy and also a mini-rippling effect I've noticed myself, which I think may be interruptions in the flow caused by the trebeculae within the arachnoid membrane, acting like tiny bridge supports and stirring up and activating the flow just as a full size bridge support in a river does. It's all such a mind-bogglingly amazing bit of design at the physical level, and then there's the energetic level.
It's been very interesting to bring some of the effects I've noticed through treating people remotely into hands-on treatments, especially in the way of switching from a physical to an energetic focus, or having both at once. Holding an energetic awareness of the fluid has been amazing, like holding a tube of light with reflections rippling all around it. It feels like being in touch with the core of the energy flow through our being. So that's probably going to be the starting point for our next remote group session on Thursday 13th December, join in if you can 21.15 to 22:00 pm UK time, or tune in with the session at whatever time suits you.

Getting Ready - The Song of the Earth Energy Centre

When you're getting ready for the sessions, I suggest that you get comfortable, use deep slow breathing to help you to relax, then focus your attention on each of the on-body chakras, in no particular order, and imagine them all flowing into one. Then connect with an Earth energy centre about three feet below your feet and a cosmic centre about three feet above your head, allowing life force energy to flow both up and down through you. (There's more complete notes about the process on the Remote Treatment page).

A beach fire from long ago... *

I've been finding recently when I focus on the Earth energy centre that I get a really strong image of a fire on a beach, flickering flames and gathering darkness - it feels like a scene from long ago. I get a feeling of being part of a wandering group, maybe of hunter-gatherers on some sort of seasonal, cyclical journey, resting by the shores of a great lake during a long journey. 

I'm reminded that our crazy industrial way of life is only a few hundred years old and our agricultural lives just a few thousand, we've spent many more thousands of years, most of our human existence, wandering, exploring, foraging and following herds.

So I suppose that's maybe why I often feel so disconnected from industrial life and from the Earth.

Bruce Chatwin writes beautifully on these lines in his wonderful book, "The Songlines."
