Two Hidden Reasons Your Brain Doesn’t Work as it Should

I probably don’t have to tell you how important your brain is to your health.  So I won’t.

The aim of Craniosacral Harmonics is to quiet the choppy, agitated activity of your brain and the rest of your nervous system.  It’s one of the gentlest forms of manual therapy there is.  Since Craniosacral Harmonics can be highly effective, it serves as a great example of the treatment principle that “less is more”.

It’s very, very relaxing…but relaxation is only the beginning. 

Imagine that each individual electrical discharge happening in your brain could be turned into a sound.  Would your brain sound smooth, harmonious, rhythmic and purposeful?  Or would it sound like noisy, grating static?

To help you to harmonize the working of your brain, let me share with you…

The Secret of Craniosacral Harmonics

Actually, there are two secrets.  So here’s the first secret:

Your brain isn’t just sitting there waiting to generate a thought.  It receives hundreds of millions of signals - maybe billions - from your body every second. 

If those signals coming in are disjointed, noisy and grating, then your brain activity will also be disjointed, noisy and grating. 

Craniosacral Harmonics, using sustained, gentle hands-on touch, can actually quiet those incoming signals from the body to the brain.  And that’s a really good thing.

But that’s not all Craniosacral Harmonics does for you….

Second Secret of Craniosacral Harmonics 

Your brain cells are very, very finicky.

More than any other type of cell in your body, your brain cells need a precisely controlled inner environment in order to work right.  The concentration of sodium, calcium, glucose, and every other chemical substance has to be exactly right.  And the amount of pressure in the fluids bathing your brain has to be exactly right too.

Fortunately, your body has designed a mechanism to keep everything in balance.  Your brain is wrapped by the remarkable connective tissue known as the dura mater.

Now when I was in chiropractic school, I was taught to think about the dura mater as a sort of glorified bubble wrap - basic packing material to shield the brain from trauma.  I sure had to unlearn that oversimplified viewpoint!

Your dura mater can get warped, twisted, or stressed.  It can constrict the flow of fluid that bathes your brain cells, so they don’t get the normal energy supply they need or get rid of their waste products.  In other words, your dura mater is usually your best friend - but when there’s a problem it can become your worst nightmare.

That’s where Craniosacral Harmonics comes in.  It takes those twists and kinks out of your dura mater to restore normal brain function.

Because Craniosacral Harmonics has these two types of powerful effect on the way your brain is working, it’s effective for lots of common health problems.  From chronic pain to balance problems.  Migraine, TMJ syndrome, brain trauma.   Depression and anxiety.  Tremors and Tourette syndrome.  Frozen shoulder and carpal tunnel syndrome.  And lots more.
