A Client's recent Question:
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy is a light touch massage approach that can support dramatic improvements in the quality of your life. It releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction. The intent of this form of massage is to listen to the Cranial Rhythm and help the nervous system to relax and self-correct. Because Craniosacral is so gentle, it may be used with infants, seniors, people of all ages.
Craniosacral Therapy as used at Lighten Therapies is based on the foundation of Dr. John Upledger's DO's work. Dr. John was a pioneer who brought this type of massage and manual therapy to a greater range of people who have studied and fine tuned their skills with various levels of training and experience. Check www.Upledger.com for a practitioner in your area.

There is a new freeze dried vaccine that claims it may keep you free of the flu for a lifetime. Are you going to be signing up to be one of the first to try it? How do you feel about all the new vaccines coming out? Do you ask what is in the vaccine before agreeing to one? Do you understand how vaccines work? Lots of questions, but it is important to get educated on what is being promoted to be put inside your body. Vaccines have been very successful in helping to eliminate some major illnesses in the past... They help the immune system to recognize proteins in order to prevent the flu process.

True Strength is not about overtaking, ruling, controlling, winning or beating down.
True strength comes from a place that gently vibrates through each cell of your body and soul with unconditional love and clarity. It rings the wisdom of your moment with song and joy that expands through the whole Universe.
Different types of healing work are appropriate depending on each person's real needs. In this day and age, a more subtle type of transformational work can be found in Reiki, Brennan Healing Science, Matrix Work and various upcoming discoveries of Energy Therapy. Believe it or not, many people are intuitive and pick up what is going on when others don't notice a thing. They have developed a Higher Sense of Perception ability to track and explore the energy systems within and in their outer relationships. When they are in need of some healing, their process work is better supported and expedited by a person who is trained in Energy Healing and who knows how to meet them in their journey of Self- Awareness and Evolution. In this form of therapeutic work, one can work with vibration in many different ways: sounds, listening, breath, color, thought, and more. While engaging in an energetic dialogue, a meeting takes place that often transforms and brings awakening to the deeper level of awareness. By allowing old paradigms to fall away and change to happen, a broader sense of Self and Unity may be experienced. For more information, call Sharon Hartnett at 239 692-8486
How do you heal? When one puts faith in the Creative Process and rides the wave into the Unknown, choosing love and light shows us the way of unity and Oneness.
It is in removing the thought processes that tell us that we are separate and the energy associated with it that we find peace.
Our visual sense is one way of interacting with our world. We take in information and our brain processes the world around us... How about taking an internal exploration inside? Notice the thoughts that come along on the adventure of seeing the world. How does your brain interpret the stimulus?Maybe you can you allow yourself to see things in a new way? Let the filters go for just a moment? What would that be like? When you see things, how deep does that information go? Do you have a sense of the Eternal Now? Curiosity... find your genius for the day:) Sharon www.integrativesoulandbodywork.com
Naples is a Mecca for those looking for Massage Therapy. There are plenty of good deals and various types of therapies in this little slice of heaven.
Before picking up the phone though, consider what kind of Massage you want. Do you want a Swedish Massage to relax, or a Deep Tissue to get into those sore muscles. Have you tried a Craniosacral Therapy session which balances the nervous system and corrects structural issues in a gentle way, or a deeply manipulating Structural Integration set of sessions to create deep dramatic positive change in your form and movement? Have you considered some Barbara Brennan Healing or Reiki in your healing time? Brennan Healing Science looks at a person as whole and complete and can support transformation and miraculous moments of transcendence in the most difficult times.
Whatever your needs are, take a moment to interview the Massage Therapist with questions about meeting your needs. There is a big difference among Massage Therapists and the work that they offer. Your time is precious. Make it count:)
Wonder what it would be like to have no secrets and to be totally open in your life? Today's thought is TRANSPARENCY~
If each person revealed himself with utter lack of inhibition, there would be no lies, no hiding, no stealing, no suffering once we all truly looked at each other with Acceptance.
With each layer of protection that we peel away, our true essence begins to shine and vibrate outward throughout our lives and the universe.
Trust plants the seeds to knowing of the interconnection that already exists among all things.
A Vulnerable person is a brave person to expose and live in honest and integrity.
One act of authentic expression changes the whole world.
What are you thoughts about Transparency?
Warmly,
Sharon Hartnett

It is possible to open up to that expanded state of awareness! The Barbara Brennan School is a top notch school teaching the foundational principals of working with the human energy field.

For more information, check out: www.barbarabrennan.com In the meantime, take some time to develop your higher sense perception. How? First gather some crayons, or colored pencils along with some paper. Look at the trees outside and notice the energy emanating from the branches outwards. Bring your mindfulness to Self and then to the tree. Listen like you have never listened before. Look as if the eyes of God are opening your vision. Invite your Higher Consciousness to expand your senses between you and the trees. Notice your own sensations with mindfulness. Trust the information that is coming your way. If the cold is keeping you inside, find fruits and vegetables and make contact with them as you fully engage your senses with listening in new ways. Imagine that something you have never experienced awakens and stirs something new. Then use your art supplies to express the creativity of the experience. If you have questions, feel free to call Sharon at 239 692-8486 www.massagenaplesflorida.comwww.integrativesoulandbodywork.com

Massage is a wonderful gift that is tailored just to suit your needs at Massage Naples Florida... On an ongoing basis, it is easy to feel and see the benefits of how your body responds to compassionate and skillful touch.
While the benefits of Massage and Bodywork are innumerable, it is also important for clients to take some time in between sessions to listen and care for their mind/body/soul connection.
As a Massage Therapist, I have constantly studied with Masters in their own field of specialty. One woman's work who I found fascinating was Emilie Conrad, Founder of Continuum. I have studied with her numerous times in intensives around the United States because the creative movement of this sound movement is powerful in releasing restrictions and allowing the tissues to awaken in their evolutionary fluidity.
In one class, we worked with the sounds of "JJJJJJhaaaaaaa" and "ZZZZZZZzzz", allowing the sound to enliven our cellular tissues and fluids. Especially the bones with this particular sound. After the sounding, we brought our focus to the elbow and explored micro movement at that point, moving ever so slowly and tissues released, opening the arm and the ribcage as well. This type of work nourishes the body with energy, lengthening and vibration in a way that can be practiced easily at home.
Continuum reminds me a bit of Craniosacral Therapy, but it can be done alone or in a group. In Craniosacral Therapy, we often ask the cranial rhythm to turn off when there is a significant detector that we need to address in the Somato-Emotional work. When that happens, we hold the body in that effortless place until it unwinds and restores integrity to the system. In Continuum work, as the person learns to listen well to his/her body, it is easy to practice this at home. In Structural Integration work, developed by Dr. Ida Rolf, the focus is also on this spanning of the fascial tissues that can happen through direct manipulation or by touching gentle into the connective tissue and leading it to a place of release.
At Massage Naples Florida, we recommend that you take daily time to be proactive with your health. I highly recommend that if you are interested in mindful practices and want to find fuller range of movement and flexibility in your life, that you check out the work of Emilie Conrad. It will open your body to more vitality and health.

Have a wonderful and nourishing day!

Massage Therapy is an important modality of healing.
A person may come in feeling pretty good and a simple long stroke Swedish effleurage will do the trick. Swedish Massage improves circulation and lymphatic flow, reduces stress, and promotes an overall feeling of wellness. Swedish Massage is gentle and fluid and feels wonderful for an uplift.
However, for the person who is facing chronic pain or structural integration issues, it is important to be understanding of the fact that it took some time for the body to move out of its balance. Often as we get older, if we have not addressed certain issues, it eventually shows up in our bodies as pain, illness, or discomfort. When these symptoms are ignored for any length of time, the brain sometimes allows the issue to go underground. Afterall, the body is very forgiving and our youth often allows us to move forward past survival mode when possible. But in the end, we all need to take time to nurture ourselves and fill the glass full in order to maintain good health and function. A healthy body is one that is in motion and dialoguing efficiently within and throughout all the systems of the body.
In the case where a client comes in with a challenging issues, it usually is not a One Session Fix All type of thing. It often takes patience to explore the body and to listen to current physical complaints as layers of dysfunction release and the energy and fluids can regenerate the tissues and organs. Many times, when a client has waited to the breaking point before coming in, a good session may include feeling some deep pain that has been lying dormant even with light touch modalities. The awakening of the cells is an important part of the healing process. The nurturing of the painful areas transforms the whole. The body is a continuous masterpiece of weblike tissues that all have the potential to feel pleasure again and to know deep joy.
I always smile when a client comes in, and they are surprised that they are sore in places they have not dreamed of. Not because of my joy of pain, but because it is understood by massage therapists and bodyworkers, that pain is waiting to be made conscious and released so that joy and happiness can reside in the physical body rather than stress and discomfort.
Most seasoned Massage Therapists and Bodyworkers have a bag of skills that they carry to the table. At Massage Naples Florida, we prefer: Craniosacral Therapy and Structural Integration to work deeply with the fascial and nervous systems as the benefits are much more long lasting and beneficial. We also use energy healing as taught at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing to help regulate the energy metabolism for optimal health and deep core connection. However, each client has different needs and the best way to find what is best for your body is get to know your therapist, communicate, and find the easiest modality to address your concerns. This may take time as Massage Therapy is an intimate process that is about discovery and unwinding unhealthy patterns in order to rediscover structural integrity. The body is a doorway to transformation and joy. And an ongoing commitment to your health will take you far. You will feel younger, more vibrant and flexible with massage and bodywork. Tissues will revitalize and pain has a good possibility of dissolving. But it does take time and the experience to unlearn whatever you have been carrying around that creates pain.
Take time to wake up to the joy inside... whether you decide to do the one Swedish session for proactive work, or the deeper more transformative touch, be patient with your body and the adventure of live. Allow yourself to have positive experiences of Self and Relationship. You deserve that!
For the month of December, anyone who commits to 10 sessions and pays upfront will receive 20% off their sessions.
