Was taught this as reiki masters and it works! Helps my immune system and overall health.

✨ The 5 organs are like 5 “settings” of your energy.
In Taoist practice, each organ is linked to an element, a color, a season, and an emotion.

When organ Qi is balanced, the mind becomes quieter, the heart feels lighter, and life becomes clearer from the inside💫

Save this post as your mini wellness compass for the year ✅
Return to it season by season, and share it with someone who could use a steady inner reset 🤍

💡The Cervical Spine as an Autonomic “Control Tower”

The upper cervical spine (C0–C2) represents the most mobile segment of the vertebral column and serves as a critical neuroanatomical transition zone where the brainstem becomes the spinal cord.

This region plays a key regulatory role in autonomic and sensorimotor function due to its unique anatomical and neurological characteristics:
✅ It houses essential brainstem nuclei involved in autonomic control of:
• Heart rate
• Blood pressure
• Respiration
• Vagal tone

✅ It contains a high density of proprioceptive receptors in the suboccipital muscles, which provide afferent input directly to:
• The cerebellum
• The vestibular nuclei

✅ Sympathetic fibers ascend alongside the vertebral arteries through the transverse foramina into the cranial cavity, linking vascular and autonomic regulation.

✅ This region interfaces with multiple cranial systems, including:
• The trigeminal complex
• The vestibular system
• Oculomotor control centers

🔆 Even minor dysfunctions—such as segmental instability, altered joint biomechanics, sensorimotor mismatch, or increased muscle tone—can disrupt autonomic regulation. These disturbances may manifest not only as localized cervical pain but also as systemic autonomic symptoms.

Your jaw tension is literally crushing your breathing and destroying your posture from the inside out.

The masseter muscle (your jaw) shares a neurological highway with your diaphragm and pelvic floor they’re all connected through the same fascial chains and nervous system pathways.

Here’s what happens when your jaw is clenched:
•Your diaphragm can’t fully expand, reducing oxygen by up to 30%

•Your pelvic floor compensates by over-tightening, creating lower back tension

•Your entire core becomes rigid instead of responsive

•This creates a domino effect: tight jaw → shallow breathing → weak core → poor posture

The Science: 1️⃣ Trigeminal nerve (jaw) → 2️⃣ Vagus nerve (diaphragm) → 3️⃣ Pelvic nerve → 4️⃣ Postural collapse

With a clenched jaw: Your diaphragm stays elevated, your pelvis tilts forward, creating that hunched-over “tech neck” posture.

With a relaxed jaw: Your diaphragm drops fully, your pelvis stabilizes, your entire spine decompresses.

Most people try to “fix” their posture by pulling their shoulders back. That’s like trying to fix a foundation by painting the roof.

The REAL fix? Release the jaw tension that’s hijacking your entire breathing system 24/7.

That’s what I created the 5-Minute Posture Fix giving you a scientifically-designed protocol that targets the jaw-breathing-posture connection in just 5 minutes a day, link in bio ☝️

Offering Reiki Sessions!!
I have many clients that have experienced wonderful changes💜

What does Reiki feel like?

💚Sensations of warmth or heat are frequently reported during Reiki sessions. This warmth is often felt in the areas being treated or in the hands of the practitioner, and it's associated with the flow of energy.

💚Sensations of energy pulsing or flowing through the body are also reported. It might feel like waves of energy moving through different areas. Some individuals describe feeling tingling sensations, like gentle vibrations, as Reiki is administered.

💚One of the most common reactions to Reiki is a deep sense of relaxation and calm, akin to a deep state of meditation.

💚A feeling of lightness or expansion is also often reported. This might involve a sensation of energy spreading out beyond the physical body. Like a breath of fresh air for your spirit.

💚 During a session, individuals may experience emotional releases such as tears, laughter, or feelings of profound peace and contentment.

💚Reiki can quiet the chatter of the mind, bringing a sense of mental clarity and inner peace.

💚Some people report seeing images, colours, or experiencing visualizations. These experiences can range from seeing bright lights or specific hues to intricate patterns and symbolic imagery.

💚 Not everyone feels distinct sensations during Reiki. Energy is subtle, and sometimes things are happening on deeper levels that may not necessary manifest as an noticeable external reaction. Perhaps a few days or weeks later you may feel calmer or less reactive to something that really bothered you before. Or you notice a general improvement in your overall well-being and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Trust the Reiki energy to do what is needed. 😊💫
