✨ Your Nervous System Begins at the Top of Your Spine… and So Does Your Healing ✨
Most people don’t realize that the very top of the spine — C1 (Atlas) and C2 (Axis) — holds the master switch for the entire nervous system.
When these two tiny vertebrae are under tension, compressed, or stressed, the whole body feels it.
This area controls:
🌬️ Cerebrospinal fluid flow
🧠 Brainstem and vagus nerve regulation
✨ Blood flow to and from the brain
💛 Your ability to rest, pause, and feel safe
When C1 & C2 are overwhelmed, you may experience:
• Headaches or migraines
• Anxiety or feeling “on alert”
• Dizziness or brain fog
• Neck tension
• Difficulty relaxing
• A constant sense of bracing
That’s why in Spinal Flow, Gateway 1 is called the Pause Gateway.
It’s the place where your whole system finally gets permission to… pause.
When this gateway opens, something beautiful happens:
Your brain receives the signal that you’re safe.
The body stops bracing.
CSF begins to move again.
The vagus nerve softens.
And your entire system shifts from survival… into healing.
This is why people often sigh, melt, tear up, or feel waves through their whole body during Spinal Flow.
It’s not “just relaxation.”
It’s a deep nervous system reset that starts right at the top of your spine.
Your body wants to heal.
Sometimes it just needs an invitation to pause.
