Finding Ease - Light Touch Therapy

Welcome to Action for Happiness Friendly February!

This month’s theme is Relating (connecting with people). Let’s take action to strengthen our relationships and build connections in our local community.

Feeling positively connected to other people is at the heart of happiness. Whether these relationships are with partners, families, friends, work colleagues, neighbours or others in our social networks, they can all contribute to our wellbeing, health and resilience. There are many ways we can take action to build, maintain and deepen our relationships and connect with the communities around us.

Here are three great ways to build connections this month:

* Take regular action in line with our Friendly February calendar shared here.
* Get inspired by our expert talks, such as Deep Listening with Emily Kasriel or Mindset and Relationships with David Robson. There are 100's of free talks in the Talk Library on the AFH website https://actionforhappiness.org/deep-listening-emily-kasriel
* Join a local group session to learn new evidence-based relating tips and encourage and support each other in community. You can find your nearest group online on the AFH website

Whoo hoo its the last Monday in January!

For a month that can feel for many like it goes on for an eternity, its time to celebrate that it's nearing an end. What else to celebrate at this time of year?

The slow but sure lengthening of the days
First snowdrops
Bulbs poking their heads up out the soil
Buds beginning to form on the trees and shrubs
Hares racing around like it is March
Spring is just around the corner
The Year of the Snake with all its shedding is also drawing near its end.
We are alive

So much to be grateful for

Many of the people I work with are in chronic long term pain or discomfort.

This interesting blog from Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) course director, Steve Haines, talks about creativity being key when it comes to managing pain.

He says "Finding new creative responses to the danger signal, rather than going down fixed, hard-wired responses is vital. That could look like; moving differently, understanding differently, feeling differently, or describing yourself differently".

Both light touch ScarWork and BCST can be great ways to start exploring different responses, giving potential and opportunity for things to be different. If you've been stuck in your discomfort and pain and haven't considered trying either ScarWork or BCST then maybe now is the time to start exploring new ways.

Appointments available in my clinic at Amber Hill, between Boston and Sleaford. Please get in touch for more information and an informal chat about how either one or both of these therapies may help you.

"Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive"

(Attributed to Howard Thurman)

What makes YOU come alive?
How can you do more of this?

Craniosacral therapy, by reconnecting with oneself, is one way which might help you rediscover what makes you come alive, what stokes the fire in your belly, what fills you with joy.

However you discover it, just do it. Come alive. Live life fully and completely

The third Monday in January (today) is claimed to be the most depressing day of the year. We are still in the depths of winter, payday still feels a long way off, bills for the festive period now due, and perhaps all those good intentions for New Year resolutions have already fallen by the wayside. You are not alone.

But maybe on this third Monday in January there's an opportunity to reflect, post New Year hype, on how you really want to be and feel this coming year or even for the rest of your life. Not the goals you want to achieve, or the bucket list to tick off, but something more simple and fundamental. What values and qualities do you want and need, maybe even crave?

Calmness?
Peace?
Connection?
Stillness?
Vitality?
Clarity?
Compassion?
Love?
Courage?
Trust in self?
Ease?
Maybe something else?

One of the things I love about Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is that it has the potential to help you get a sense of these qualities, help you feel them in your body, trust that they are available and in time be able to really experience them in many different areas of your life.

How might life be different if you could experience these?

I recently went to Moco Art Space in London and interacted with Heart Space, a place where your emotions, intentions, and artistry are merged into pure visual resonance. The Technology behind HeartSpace is a blend of biometric science and machine learning to transform your unique cardiac patterns into an evolving visual identity.

This photograph captures a snapshot of the cardiac patterns of all the people who were there at the same time interacting with the exhibit. Mine is in there somewhere, as is my daughter's.

I love that every rythym is different and brings home that we are all unique. We are so often categorised into boxes with average ranges and many aspects of modern living are constructed around us fitting into these average boxes and ranges. But the truth is we are all different and have our own unique patterns of existence and functioning.

Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy holds a space for every body's uniqueness without judgement or categorisation. We listen, we hold space and we allow your body and system to be exactly what it is without manipulating or needing it to be in a particular way.

If this approach of working with your own body's uniqueness, engaging with its own incredible wisdom to heal and seek balance appeals to you please get in touch to find out more how Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy can help you find ease.

What does safety look or feel like to you?

Our nervous system matters when it comes to healing. Our bodies have their own innate wisdom and intelligence which will always be trying to achieve balance and to heal and restore. However when our nervous system's fight or flight response is dialled right up, when we are in a state of hyper vigilance, unable to switch off or relax the priority for our body is not rejuvenation and healing, but instead survival. Healing, restoration, digestion, reproduction are put on the back burner as they’re not deemed critical in the current quest for survival.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy can be a really useful tool in helping regulate the nervous system, dialling down the fight or flight response, and dialing up the rest and digest setting. When our bodies feel safe they can begin to heal, restore, digest and create new life.

If you recognise yourself in survival mode and are struggling with emotional, physical or mental health maybe your nervous system could do with a helping hand in finding safety.

Please get in touch to find out more or book a free 15 minute resonance call to explore how BCST might help your nervous system.

Do you suffer from migraines?
Are you struggling to get relief?
Is your life limited by the regularity or severity of them?
Have you tried lots of different things but nothing seems to work?
Are you open to trying something different that works with your body not against it

Why not try Craniosacral Therapy – a light touch hands on therapy that works with your body helping it regulate your nervous system, restore balance and return to health.

In my clinic I have helped people find ease with their migraines, most find they are much less severe and easier to manage, some find they disappear altogether.

How would life be different if you didn’t have to think about migraines?

Craniosacral Therapy is not a quick fix but instead a sustained approach to finding ease and it is likely a series of sessions will be required. Most people report not only finding ease with their symptoms but also feeling calmer or having a greater sense of wellbeing after a series of sessions.

To find out more please get in touch for a free 15 minute Resonance Call to explore how Craniosacral Therapy might help you find ease from your migraines.

I'm probably a bit late to the New Year party, it is the 7th January after all, but just wanted to say a massive thank you to all my clients and supporters, past and present for their trust and encouragement over the past year. My Craniosacral practice is growing from strength to strength and I am absolutely loving this subtle gentle but oh so powerful work.

Thank you for entrusting your health and wellness to me. I never take it for granted and continue to learn and grow from each and every one of you. Personally and professionally.

Whatever 2026 has in store for us, my wish for us all is that we can navigate it with love, kindness, compassion, courage and oodles of joy.

So good to see Craniosacral Therapy getting some journalistic coverage.

And I too wholeheartedly recommend Sarah Johnson of Cranio Kent - my CST journey started on Sarah's couch as well!

This is the face of a woman who's feeling the most relaxed she's felt in years.

As I reminded Sarah from Cranio Kent this afternoon, it's almost a year to the day since I had my first craniosacral therapy (CST) session with her. And back then I honestly thought I'd only ever have one session - I was merely carrying out research for an article and as I'd never had any kind of therapy before, I didn't think I needed it.

But how wrong was I? I am now a fully converted fan! Although I've always journalled and previously had some wonderful reiki healing, as well as beautiful meditation sessions, nothing seems to work for me like CST.

As Dr Tara Swart explains in her book called The Signs, somatic therapies such as CST can release the trauma we often hold in our bodies. Along with osteopathy, acupuncture, reflexology, tai chi or qigong, CST 'can provide you with emotional release, healing and intuitive insight in a way that is different to talking therapies or journalling'.

And I couldn't agree more.

Have you ever tried any therapies like this? Or have any tips about what helps you to relax?

If you're intrigued and want to find out more about CST, you can get more information from the Craniosacral Therapy Association UK - CSTA

You can also read my blog article on my website. I'll put the link in the comments.

And let's start the year as we mean to go on by putting self-care at top of our to do lists.

I've been really connecting into the power of nature these past few weeks which helps me keep grounded and able to navigate the twists and turns of life as best I can.

I've danced barefoot on the beach with the wind in my hair
I've sat around a fire with a group of strangers drumming in community under the bright crisp light of the full moon
I've been out and stood on the grass in my garden barefoot for a few minutes at a time
I've spent time in the garden observing those first few signs of spring emerging - the bulbs poking out through soil, the beautiful flowers of the helleborous, and the buds forming on my forsythia and camellia shrubs
I've swum in the local river and watched the heron
I've watched flocks of geese flying across the winter skies

None of these things cost much money, if any. And they do me the world of good, helping me remember my place in the universe, connecting to life source and feeling grounded and rooted to the earth. They also very importantly help settle my nervous system, bringing a sense of calmness and trust in oneself.

I'd love to know what things help ground you?
