Blessings...May the flame of Brigid rejuvenate you. Imbolc is the turning point which brings us more light and the promise of a new beginning.

HAPPY IMBOLC. In the Celtic tradition, Imbolc is the time of the awakening of the earth and the moving from darkness of winter into the light of spring. February 1st is celebrated in Ireland as the feast day of Brigid, the solar goddess who is associated with healing, inspiration, fertility, poetry and smithcraft. Brigid was considered so important by the people that the Catholic church had no choice but to integrate her into their religion as a saint. She is associated with a perpetual sacred flame which today is maintained by 19 nuns at her sanctuary in Kildare. Brigid means "exalted one" and as well as being associated with fire and light, she is known as the goddess of the healing wells. Well water is considered sacred as it stems from the womb of the earth. There are many holy wells across the land of Ireland associated with Brigid. The most significant of them usually have a large tree near them where people still leave offerings of coins, strips of cloth and ribbon and sometimes photos of loved ones. Water is usually taken from the well and used to bless the home and family members. On Brigid's Day, solar crosses are made from reeds or rushes and hung over the door to protect the home from fire and lightning. On Imbolc, Brigid is said to visit and bless the people. She represents not just the light part of the year but the light which elevates us psychologically and physically bringing us to higher dimensions which is why she is associated with healing and healers.

The days are lengthening, the sap is rising and little flowers are beginning to rise out of the earth. Imbolc is all about using our intuition and wisdom we have developed during the winter months to fertilize and manifest our dreams and ideas. It is important to clear out the old and make way for the new at this time. Imbolc is very much a time of healing, reclaiming and trusting our intuition.

Here's what happens every time you breathe through your mouth...

just published a deep dive on how mouth breathing destroys your posture from the inside out and the mechanism is simpler (and more brutal) than most people realize.

Here’s what happens every time you breathe through your mouth:

Your jaw drops to create an open airway. Your head shifts forward to keep your airway stable.

Your neck locks to hold that position. Your shoulders round to compensate. Your entire spine collapses downward.

That’s your nervous system choosing survival over alignment—24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Most people try to fix posture by pulling their shoulders back or doing stretches.

But if you’re mouth breathing, your body is actively fighting against you because it’s prioritizing oxygen over everything else.

The real fix isn’t posture exercises.

It’s retraining the jaw position that’s forcing your head forward in the first place.

When your jaw is in the right position:

- You breathe through your nose automatically
- Your head stops jutting forward
- Your neck tension releases
- Your shoulders drop back into place
- Your entire posture decompresses

The real fix?

Interrupt the jaw position forcing your head forward.

But here’s what most people don’t realize about retraining jaw position...

There's an intelligence in your body that doesn't need to work from a diagnosis or an explanation.

It remembers *exactly* what happened every time you fell, every time you held your breath, every moment of bracing. And it knows, when we give it the chance, how to unwind, release, and reorganise itself towards health.

Dr John Upledger wasn't the first or the only clinician to reach this conclusion.

(Though he might have been the first to call it the Inner Physician! Personally, I prefer 'inner wisdom' but hey - it's the same thing.)

Healers and therapists across traditions and centuries have understood this as a fundamental truth. Your body knows.

In CranioSacral Therapy we do our best to tune into that intelligence. We learn not to come from a place of deciding what we need to do to 'fix' someone (although of course we want a good outcome for our clients); more that we deeply recognise that the body knows the best way, the pace, the resources needed to fix itself.

Often a big piece of the puzzle can be the physical relief when it (the body) actually gets the support of being held at a certain precise angle for a moment to let some tension release, or is able to let go of an emotion that felt too scary to express before to, just to be respected and followed when it leads the way.

And if we were to take it a step further... what other secrets might it know if only we thought to ask?

Your body has the answers.

We're just here to help you access them.

What might your cells have to tell you today?

What does your body know that you haven't stopped to listen to yet?

(And yes, this is something you can learn to do - for yourself and for others.)

Migraine is a common health condition, affecting around 1 in every 5 women and around 1 in every 15 men.

'After six craniosacral therapy treatments, scorings of the HIT-6 Questionnaire had decreased significantly for both groups, at points immediately after craniosacral therapy and one month after - our results indicate that craniosacral therapy could be considered as a potential therapy for migraine sufferers with the aim of improving quality of life.'

A good reminder!

Breathe deeply. You are alive in this moment.

Live one breath at a time knowing that you can do anything in the moment that may seem to hard to comprehend achieving for a lifetime.

You’ve survived and believe you will thrive. ❤️
