You, Your Body, Your Car and CranioSacral Therapy

You, Your Body, Your Car and CranioSacral Therapy Chances are you have a car. You understand you need to take care of it and you bring it in for an oil change - some of you can take care of that themselves, you check the fluids, the tires, you get my drift. See, I am that mechanic. You bring in your body (vehicle) and I will run the diagnostics on you. Well, I am not allowed to diagnose as a licensed massage therapist, so I will give you the report, my observations. See how similar things are? Let's say your car is ready for some servicing. You have the choice to bring it at the suggested mileage (1.), you can refuse to bring it in until something lights up on the dashboard (2.), you can have lights lighting up and still not be bringing the car to the mechanic (3.) or you can bring it in because it broke down on you after the lights were on for a long time (4.)... Now let's transfer the last paragraph to you and your body. 1. You decided to go for regular check up as a preventative measure and your body will be treated for whatever comes up. This is easy because if anything is going wrong fro one reason or another, you catch it early enough that the treatment is short and easy. You feel empowered and powerful. 2. You just wait until you either feel pain or get sick to get a check up and treatment. You feel okay, but little warning signs are being successfully ignored. You body will do anything to adapt to this situation. 3. You are in pain or ill, but pain killers keep you moving and you feel like you neither have the time nor resources to do anything about it. You don't even remember the first warning signs, you are distracted by the pain or discomfort, you use every ounce of energy to cover up the truth about your health, you feel mentally drained, your job performance suffers and so is your patience. 4. You find out that you are seriously ill and you feel accordingly. The situation is such, that you need help for sure and you see a physician. The road to recovery is longer and possibly more uncomfortable and more expensive in every way. Time you loose with your family, friends at work and simply doing what you love. Time is a non-renewable resource. What if none of the above apply to you? What if you do get regular massages? Well, my favorites are the regular check-ups (or 'ins') and the TUNE UPs. What if, you come in for a tune up to speed up the systems, to make sure everything flows well and to possibly leave feeling better than ever before. How pro-active is that? Imagine the flow of joy, the abundance, the creativity, the prosperity and the fun you could have in your life, by taking actively charge of your health. It is time and money well-spend because the value of your health is priceless. Now you see how things are connected: Auto, from Greek alpha - auto- "self, ones own"?
