Words of Encouragement

Being Comfortable with the Unknown
I have to admit - when I start a CranioSacral Therapy session I know practically nothing, I want nothing, and I judge nothing. I am like a tree, deeply rooted into the earth and just there.
That might sound shockingly simple to you, especially since you are paying for the sessions.
What does that mean and why do I share this?
Because it relates to all of us right now. Not just here in Reno, Nevada, but rather the entire world.
Let me explain:
The world has changed, lives have been interrupted, and plans had to change. We also do not know when things may go back to normal, whatever that may be. We don’t even know that much about the virus.
So what can we do with this state of self and the world around us?
My profound answer is: be at peace with it.
So when I start a session, there might be panic, angst and stress in the nervous system of my client. There might be pain and discomfort and worry.
Within the CranioSacral paradigm we know that our bodies know the sequence it takes to heal. It just needs some resources, like myself. We also look at the body as already whole and healed. No, we don’t come in with an intention to fix anything or that we know better than your body about what it takes for it to come back to its natural, healthy state. Instead, we are equipped with great skills - one of them is to be present, grounded, neutral and totally comfortable with the unknown.
What would happen if you could stay present, calm, neutral, and totally comfortable during the times of a pandemic or any other stressful situation you might be in?
And the biggest question: how can you get to that place?
I have so many options for you:
Enjoy nature, feel your feet on the ground, pretend you have roots, allow the earth to fill you with abundant nurturing and nourishing energy, breathe deeply, reassure your mind that it is safe to be in your body, start with 5 minutes every day of filling and nurturing yourself like that.
Because once you do that, inspirations will be able to reach you, answers to questions you had can get through the otherwise busy mind. Your brain waves will calm down and your nervous system will be in a more restful state so it can repair and heal.
If you feel like you need some help with it, please don’t hesitate to contact me as I am offering distant healing sessions that will help with exactly that as well help release restrictions in your body.
