Let’s talk about the Vagus Nerve 
and how to heal the nervous system with the gentle safe touch of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

Many therapies over the years have concentrated on treating the central nervous system.
Unfortunately focusing on only the central nervous system [the sympathetic nervous system] does not help us to understand many symptoms or their causes and how our bodies and minds remember an event or trauma emotionally.

One of the biggest advances in research in recent years has been a greater understanding of what our illnesses and symptoms signify. Especially important is our increased understanding of important functions of the VAGUS NERVE and how it operates within each of us.

VAGUS comes from the Latin meaning ‘wandering’ and is where the words ‘vagrant’ and ‘vagabond’ derives. The vagus nerve does in fact wander! It wanders everywhere in your body: in your chest , throat, gut and pelvic areas. There is also research that explores how the vagus nerve may go beyond just the physical realm but also impact us energetically as well.

The Vagus nerves [there are two branches ] do not emerge from your spine but one come out of each side of the base of your skull! Each branch also has two branches. They then travel down in front of your spine.

The VAGUS NERVE is our Parasympathetic nervous system.
It goes to our heart, our digestive system and our reproductive system, and these are crucial systems for our overall health.

The Sympathetic system one could say is go go go. The Parasympathetic is in its extreme is stop or freeze. I can understand that it is important to have a balanced relationship to both.

When we bring awareness to the embodied expressions of our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and facilitate a gentle balancing between the two, it can bring about more health. This is a natural process the body and mind want to do: we instinctively sense and know this when we use phrases like ‘Listen to your heart’, ‘Trust your gut’ and ‘Just breathe’!

The Vagus nerves contribute to how we make sense of the world around us, such as our social engagement and our feeling of safety. 
Also, our Vagus nerves can be affected at any stage of our lives.

Being gentle and empathetic is how we reconnect with our Vagus nerves and heal so that we can enjoy a more enriched life. Talking about sometimes is not the answer . It is appropriate for all ages.
It is everyone’s right to feel safe in our life.

Are you looking for a natural therapy so that your body can remember its potential and its original life force? To heal yourself gently?

My story.

As a boy I had growing pains and was in a car accident. I grew 30cms in one year and developed scoliosis of the spine. Maybe due to the forces from the accident? I experienced learning difficulties. I can remember being pushed, pulled and manipulated as part of attempted treatments. It felt good for a few days but there was no processing of the trauma physically or emotionally of the car accident at such a crucial age for physical and emotional growth. I did not feel safe. As a consequence of this trauma, my body was unable to grow to its full potential. But the forces held within my body had not forgotten how to heal. I am laughing now because I am still gently growing and am in a happier state of balance. I am more comfortable in myself. With the support of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, I have been able to make amazing and profoundly positive changes in my life. It has helped me to release those traumas gently and to be more self-regulating and sleep better. I can now be more in the present with my children and family and friends and the world around me.

I have been hearing stories from my clients and students for almost 30 years. Hopefully I will do so for many more years to come: the profound changes for my clients still amaze me! That was my story. I would like to hear your story and support you to find new and positive pathways in your lifes narrative.

Listening and creating safety are the greatest skills a Biodynamic Craniosacral therapist has. We strive to listen and appreciate your potential with no agenda or judgment. When there is a feeling of being safe and of feeling heard, then healing can begin to happen. Safety means a happier life and less pain!

I am blessed to be a tutor with body intelligence training and to be able to have taught this therapy around the world. I have seen Biodynamic Craniosacral work grow with the changing world, supporting people to become stronger and increasingly able to cope emotionally, physically, and spiritually with life's challenges. It becomes possible to use the memories of our past as resources rather than burdens.

Old memories of trauma are not always helpful. They can trigger us so that our reactions to everyday life may sometimes be extreme. Our need to survive can trigger the primitive fight, flight or freeze instinct. What was once an intelligent response has become embedded, leaving us few little choices in how we respond and react. Biodynamic craniosacral therapy is gentle and enables us to discover a far greater range of choices about how we respond to life’s demands. It allows for more self-healing and self-awareness and the ability to simply relaxed.
