This Blog post on Concussion got a lot of views on LinkedIn. If you have ever had one, you might want to check it out. Concussion is a brain bruise. You were hit or bumped your head. Most concussions resolve, meaning the symptoms of headache, dizziness, trouble with concentrating and memory go away. This usually happens within two weeks. If it does not, please come have a session with me. Concussions are one of my specialties as I have studied CranioSacral Therapy, advanced approaches to cranio and Brain Therapy with Dr. Chikly.
Symptoms go away from your first mild concussion if you don’t aggravate it by doing lots of internet or stress your eyes…or even thinking too many or negative, depressing thoughts and just trying to do too much.
Problem
The problem is concussions stack especially if you have more than one shortly after the first one. Or symptoms can show up worse if you were unconscious for any length of time. You may even be a repeat ‘offender’ if you are tall and repeatedly bump your head. This is where the Queen in Alice in Wonderland says “Off with their heads.” Just joking!
Solution
Luckily your brain has its own repair team, the glia aka glial cells. In the past scientists thought of these cells as just ‘packing,’ They have since revised their view and see how important are the many functions of these wondrous cells. Microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and many more restore function of nerve cells by providing support, nutrients and cleaning up dead neurons. Their complete function is not yet fully understood.
Good News
The good news is a Body Being & Heart session in-person or online can help heal the symptoms of concussion. Sessions will increase and support your glia in doing their job better. In fact, Sidney Crosby, famed hockey star, used the same techniques I use to enable his recovery.
Not Just Physical
Concussion affect your mood. Repeat ‘concussers’ may also have trigger thoughts plus emotions which need gentle dialogue with Body Being & Heart’s somatic approach to wellness. You can also benefit by examining your inner risk factors.
At one point, I had a slew of young people with concussions. Their sense of immortality was part of their risk issue. But there were other issues varying from sexual identity to hyper-emotional sensitivity. Talking with one’s body or what I call the inner animal is highly effective in resolving these dynamics.
As You See…
Where your head was bumped or hit also determines the symptoms you experience. And with my inner vision and capacity to drop into the tissue of the brain without surgery, I can view and rebalance what needs to heal.
My inner vision with your brain allows me to see and facilitate healing or prevention for a range of brain problems, including the early stages of dementia, autism and early childhood issues. Caught early many things can be resolved. However if you have had a stroke, I do not want to see you till after the first few weeks.
Why Am I Telling You All This?
I am sharing this with you because a client, who is now a friend, encouraged me to share. She had brain cancer, due to living near crops sprayed with chemical poisons. After recovering from surgery, a chip off the top of a Place des Arts auditorium, Montreal’s premiere cultural center, fell on her head. She sued and won. This more than paid for her sessions. And she is thrilled with the results! She wants you all to know.
I want you all to know I cannot resolve every issues. Even so I keep learning more and more and using my magic inner eyes. Once a woman came to me, she was scheduled to have an MRI for a suspected brain tumor. I kept seeing what I can only describe as Christ Light when I worked on her head. It turned out according to the MRI to be a benign tumor the size of a pin head. The real distress was her emotional attachment to her ex. This resolved after a few sessions. Guess what, she realized ‘he’ wasn’t worth the distress she was causing herself! Hip, hip hooray!
Another stellar situation was with a five month old child. The doctor said he had too much cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) in his brain. I pumped that CSF etc. And the situation normalized. The doctor was happy!
The Key
The key to restoring your function after concussion or other brain issues is your availability. If your tissue is available and if you are able and willing to do the emotional and nutritional work needed, then all is possible…usually. Sometimes, I can only help you manage a situation.
Concussions, they are a piece of cake. So, if you have a concussion, just a few sessions and it will be resolved.
Sessions are in person and online. Insurance receipts available!
