Yesterday we talked about the pelvic and sphenoid bones, those twin ink-blot shapes at opposite ends of the central axis. Today, I want to touch on how we actually begin to balance them in bodywork, not by forcing symmetry, but by clearing the line of conversation between the bowl and the butterfly.

I think of the pelvis and sphenoid as two tuning forks on the same string. The string is the dural tube, the deep fascial midline, the pressure system that runs from the pelvic floor to the cranial base. Our work is not to hammer either fork, but to reduce the noise around the string. Practically, that means starting with breath and the diaphragm. Free the respiratory diaphragm with rib, sternum, and upper abdominal work. Invite motion in the pelvic diaphragm with sacral holds, gentle pelvic floor softening, and SI joint decompression. When the diaphragms begin to move like coordinated tides, the cranial base often starts to reorganize on its own.

From there, I like to pair contact. One hand on the sacrum, the other on the occiput or sphenoid line, feeling for rhythm and drag rather than trying to create change. Craniosacral style holds, sacral traction, and still point inductions can reduce dural tension across the whole axis. Intraoral and jaw work add another powerful lever. Releasing the pterygoids, maxilla, and palate reduces strain at the sphenoid, and that shift frequently echoes down through the spine into sacral position and tone.

Add fluid movement to the mix. Abdominal and visceral fascial work improves glide around the mesenteries and reduces internal drag on the dural and fascial core. Gentle spinal unwinding, suboccipital release, and thoracolumbar fascial work help the message travel without distortion.

The technique is real and specific, but the spirit stays the same. We are not making the pelvis obey the sphenoid or the sphenoid obey the pelvis. We are restoring their signal line. When the static drops, these two distant shapes begin to resonate again, and the body recognizes its own symmetry without being told.

📢 How Do Your Organs Influence Your Emotions and Decisions?

🌿 Did you know that your gut, heart, and other internal organs are constantly communicating with your brain—shaping your thoughts, emotions, and even your sense of self?

🧠 According to neuroscience research, this “interoceptive” feedback influences behavior, memory, mood, and motivation. It even affects how we perceive fear, safety, and connection to others.

✨ Manual therapy, especially approaches like Visceral Manipulation and CranioSacral Therapy, works directly with these pathways—supporting the body’s ability to regulate from the inside out.

👉 By gently addressing restrictions in the organs, fascia, and autonomic nervous system, these therapies help restore internal balance and improve emotional and cognitive function. This is more than just muscle work—it's about optimizing the whole-body communication network.

Info about the craniosacral rhythm
https://www.facebook.com/share/1Hb3CF1WXD/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The craniosacral rhythm (CSR)—a subtle physiological rhythm experienced by manual therapists for decades—continues to be explored through ongoing and emerging research. 🧠💫

In the Winter 2025 issue of Massage & Bodywork Magazine, The Craniosacral Rhythm; What Are We Learning About This Physiological Pattern? by Thomas Rasmussen and Dawn Langnes Shear explores current research and evolving perspectives on this clinically observed phenomenon.

This article brings clarity, scientific context, and respect to what skilled practitioners have long experienced through their hands—and it’s a valuable read for anyone engaged in gentle manual therapies. 💛📘

Truth!

https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bv8NXuTZS/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control, cannot be lived out when we are disconnected from our bodies and living in survival.

When we are dysregulated, the nervous system is overwhelmed, the body moves into protection, the mind loses clarity, and we begin living out of the flesh rather than the Spirit.

🧠 Psychology shows us
An unregulated nervous system searches for safety, validation, and control.

📖 Scripture reminds us
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us, Romans 5:8.

We already have the love we are searching for. We are already seen. We are already held.

🔥 The flesh says
I might miss out, I am not safe, I need more right now.

📖 God says
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, but store up treasures in heaven, Matthew 6:19 to 20.

When the nervous system senses threat, we panic, compare, grasp, and cope. The body moves into survival and the soul forgets the truth.

🕊️ God reminds us
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever, Psalm 73:26.

Regulation matters because the Spirit produces fruit in a body that feels safe enough to stay present.

📖 Scripture tells us
God is not a God of confusion but of peace, 1 Corinthians 14:33.

When we learn to regulate, we stop living out of fear, lies, and survival, and begin walking in truth, peace, and freedom.

📖 He promises
He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion, Philippians 1:6.

This is huge! Please help us all.

Farm bill 453 has a provision in it to block liability for Monsanto/now Bayer so that they can no longer be sued for poisoning people. Do you remember all the lawsuits in the last few years where they have been found guilty for giving people cancer, etc? Now, our congress is trying to protect them. If we don’t stand up to this, these companies will use even more toxins on our farmland. Those toxins will end up in our oceans and then evaporate and then rain on all of us. Please contact your representatives! It’s worth the 10 minutes it will take you to look up their names and numbers.

How’s your New Year going so far? What are your action verbs? And /or do you have a word that you choose each year?
My action verb is to read my actual Bible daily. (A dear friend gave me a new Bible). If I do it on the phone, that is great, but I want to put my hands and actually flip the pages as I read the Word!

I’m still working on my word for the year. It may end up being 2 words. Right now, its
Live free: based on Galatians 5:1 it’s for freedom that Christ has set you free. It may just end up being freedom.
I’m also thinking about the word Presence: Based on psalm 16:11. You will show me the path of life. In your Presence is fullness of joy.
We will see.

Last year, my word and experience with God was Provision! He sure did show off in that regard!
