Happiness

Are you trying to find Happiness Out in the World?

It's a bit difficult to stay happy if you are searching for it outside.  Have you ever noticed that when you set a goal, and you reach it, that awave of joy washes over you.  Your thoughts are happy, the things you notice seem bright, and the body hums.  It's great when things are going your way.  But what happens next?

Well, if you take the time to consider this, you will realize that that happiness you found in your outer world was only temporary.

Yikes.  All that hard work, planning, hoping and searching.  And where did it get you?  A few moments, days or weeks of feeling happy, and then down you go off of that cloud.

I don't want to rain on your parade here.  It's fun to experience life's waves and the pleasure that ebbs and flow.  But to fully invest in the future or in achieving success or such is short-term.  True joy begins by noticing all the things that don't bring you joy.  And as we begin to inquire into our relationships with goals,  and our mind opens- we begin to see that all these temporary things fall away on their own accord.  The best way to find joy is to appreciate what IS... and to let go as that wave diminishes.  Appreciating what is right in front of us and around of us is exciting and bliss.  Why because we are alive and everything is working together just as it is.

Our addictions and wants take us away from gratitude and fullness.

The easiest way to find freedom is to start to see this.  And then to begin to question the world in which you live whenever there is anything that takes you away from joy.

But don't trust me.  Trust your own answers when you begin your inquiry.  Allow Divine Truth to open your mind and heart.   Ask and listen.  It's all right here in the NOW.

Peace Out,

Concussions

Are you dealing with Concussion Symptoms that won't heal?

Perhaps it's not visible to others, but when you have not regained clear thinking and balance after a concussion, the impact can challenge you in your day to day activities.  Some of the symptoms you may be experiencing are:  lacking of focus, forgetfulness, dizziness, ringing in the ears, nausea, fogginess, feeling slowed down, feeling tired, and emotionally upset or frustrated just to name a few.

                                                Lighten Up Therapies 740 966-5153

The first thing that you need to do is see a doctor, and do your best to follow his/her orders.  If the symptoms don't go away,  you  might want to consider seeing a Craniosacral Therapist.  Especially one who has worked with concussions and has seen improvement.  

I have been doing bodywork with clients for over 20 years.  In the last 10 years,  I have delved and applied myself to Craniosacral Therapy specifically because I have found significant results with the most mild and intentional type of touch.  By listening to the body, and trusting its inner wisdom, the Craniosacral Rhythm, lets the Craniosacral Therapist know if there are any restrictions or adhesions around the brain and spine.  This is important because all the way from the dura mater to deeper in the glial interface with the brain,  a practitioner can listen to the different layers of the dural tube and apply supportive biomechanical pressure to help the body self-correct.  In fact,  by understanding the anatomy and through dialogue, we can help the body to be structurally healthy, as well as better functionally.   

Because I was so interested in Brain Trauma (concussions),  I have done some case studies, and seen great improvement in all aspects.  The Craniosacral Therapy has profound corrective effects upon the brain and the spinal cord.  Last year,  my client came in with fogginess, an inability to learn new things, light sensitive and a feeling of disconnection in her brain.  By listening to her body, I realized that is was just in the head,  but the fascial patterns took me to her hips, her spine, and even her foot where she tripped.  By bringing better order in, and creating a space for more fluidity, she eventually healed so that she is now living her dream.

If you would like to learn more, please call Sharon Hartnett 740 966-5153.  I don't guarantee results as the body does what it does, but I do guarantee that I will support you on your journey if we agree to work together.  I will honestly say, that I have seen miracles happen.  So don't give up.  Instead reach out for some help!

Blessings,

Sharon Hartnett CST-D

Listen and Follow with Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy

One of the reasons why I began to study Craniosacral Therapy (CST)) years ago was that when I went for my first sessions,  I felt so held, and cared for while experiencing profound change down to my cells. 

I was used to Structural Integration and Barbara Brennan work, and this felt like it was a great "in between".  It wasn't an assertive type of work, but rather a modality of listening while connecting to the rhythms and the silence where a meeting of mind body & soul connection took place.  

Now that I am an Advanced Certified Craniosacral Therapist,  one of my passions is educating people about the many benefits of this type of therapy.

Many of the clients that come into my office are looking for help with Migraines, Lower Back Pain, Post-surgery neck pain, fibromyalgia, stress, emotional release, and spine alignment.  There are many other types of areas where CST can help, but this seems to be my draw.  How the Craniosacral Therapy works is by addressing adhesions, restrictions and compression in the cranium and along the spine.  By listening to the fascial diaphragms and movements of the fluid and bones, the wisdom of the body offers great information about what it needs to heal.  As the information is received, the therapist supports whatever wants to happen generally without force or any type of control.  Rather, the intention is to "BE" with whatever comes, whatever stops, and whatever goes."  This is the simplest explanation, but there is much more.  A professional Craniosacral Therapist understands the anatomy and the physiology of the Craniosacral system.  We know how to test it for flexion and extension, amplitude, quality, rate and different characteristics which affect the overall health of the nervous systems, and everything that is connected throughout.  In most cases, the therapist uses about a nickels worth of weight when starting the session and pretty much throughout the whole process.

Often when clients get off the table, they tell me that they feel lighter, happier, more relaxed and sometimes even floating.  It's amazing that when pain patterns are released how the whole person dynamic is positively changed.

Craniosacral Therapy is very gentle, yet profound work.  Give yourself a few sessions to see how it will change your life.  Remember that whatever is not working for you took some time to get that way, and that healing needs to unleash it's own power to come back to center.

Finding the right Craniosacral Therapist for You! Columbus, Ohio

When you are looking for a Craniosacral Therapist (CST) to help you relieve pain, release cellular trauma, and/or to rediscover your joy-

take your time and interview.

Not all Therapists have the same experience, learning and talent. 

In fact, every person who touches you is going to offer you a totally different experience.  

Look at credentials first, and consider whether your CST is certified or not.  If he or she is... then that massage therapist or bodyworker has gone through a rigorous curriculum to demonstrate skill, understanding of the Craniosacral system and an excellent hands on approach to working with the Craniosacral Rhythm and its ability to release dysfunction and improve overall health and wellness.  Also,  you can go to the Upledger Institute and research that therapist's name to see if they have gone on to the advanced level work or not.  As a Craniosacral Therapist continue's his/her education, they enhance their ability to be more technical, work with enhanced listening, to stay more present, and to work with dialoguing when trauma and emotional work arises.

Next, take the time to discuss some of your concerns on the phone and ask questions to make sure that it is a right fit.  You are the client and your needs are the priority in the session.  You deserve to work with someone with the best credentials and ability to directly focus on your challenges. So ask about their history with CST, how long they have worked, and if they have had success with your current issue.  No CST or any therapist can promise results, but the better therapists can integrate and stay with the session more fully based on what they bring to the table.

Look for someone who is not only mindful, but a Craniosacral Therapist who is compassionate and works from the heart.  Some therapists are overworked and often felt feeling stressed out themselves. Ask questions to see if they enjoy their work and if they know how to balance their own lives by taking care of themselves as well.  The best therapist is one who stays more than half full rather than half empty in life. You want to work with someone who can offer you the best care.  Someone who centers from their heart first.

By supporting the Central nervous system and releasing restrictions through the body, Craniosacral Therapy has been shown to enhance functionality and bring about profound healing.  CST is a gentle and non-invasive modality of bodywork that is virtually risk-free and all ages can benefit from this essential therapy.
