Yesterday I was visited by a beautiful, large owl sitting calmly in the cedar tree outside my house. It stared at me piercingly and kindly, staying for 20-30 minutes, and even allowing me to walk within a few feet of it out on my deck. My parents raised me in the tradition of honoring animals that come to visit us through the lens of spirit lessons they bring. This feels like powerful truth; one I’m inspired to share as our world is going through such darkness and transition. Sacred Owl Medicine flies silently in Darkness and sees the Light, blending both into oneness. Owl flies quietly into the night, knowing the Magic of Wrong and Right. Bring the omens of future times, visions of spacetime, and the life left behind. Does the Truth emerge, walk into the Light, casting out Deception, on the Wings of Silent flight. For the one beside whom Owl Medicine flies, the Gift of Wisdom is a life long quest and within the hearts and minds of these spirits is a never-ending desire to know more, feel more and thus be more. The owl, with its ability to cross from the plane of the Physical Life to the Spirit, symbolizes the continual state of the Spirit’s Transformation. Owl Medicine teaches us how to embrace our personal darkness without fear. So that we may move past it into the light. Owls are sometimes thought to come to those that are about to die. This does not mean a physical death as much as it means the letting go of some part of yourself that is not serving you 🙌🏼. Owls with their spectral senses help guide us through the dark tunnels of fear, change and uncertainty to the brilliant light shining at the other end ✨. Seeing the web connecting this world to the universal planes, as we fly silently on the wings of owl, we begin to see, all becoming clear, and imbue our life with intense meaning. Expect a bright dawn and it will surely come. Flying on the Wings of Consciousness. 
Got a headache mystery?? As a teen and young adult, I suffered with intense constant headaches (for 6 years it was literally 24 hours a day). I felt like my head was in a vice, squished from all sides. I was nauseous and dizzy all the time. Chiropractic adjustments would sometimes help, but often make it worse. Despite what many doctors told me, it was NOT all in my head...rather, quite the opposite! Turns out my brain was herniated out the base of my skull, which you can only see accurately on an UPRIGHT MRI (because gravity reduces the herniation when you lay down). This condition, called #cerebellartonsillarectopia aka #CTE is extremely common and often misdiagnosed as #multiplesclerosis #lymedisease #fibromyalgia #chronicfatigue and worst of all: it's "just stress". (How common?? 1 in 4 people with neck pain and a history of whiplash have some degree of brain herniation! And 1 in 20 people with #neckpain and no known #trauma history ‼️) and neck pain isn't even the most common symptom; HEADACHE is (can also come with weird neurological symptoms due to mechanical brain stress). Rather than accept a life of disability, going down the path of brain surgery (the only option presented to me), I developed a non-invasive technique combining adaptations of infant-style chiropractic care, craniosacral therapy, neuromobilization, and movement therapy to not only recover my own function, but help countless people get their lives back over the last decade. It's called #neurofascialintegration and it works to improve the brain's adaptability to unavoidable stressors, reduces strain in the Dural Fascial Kinetic Chain and spinal cord, and improves overall quality of life by an average of 80% (published in 2019) ... And these results even apply to people without CTE who are suffering from #textneck #whiplash #posture #stress and more. Are you a provider and want to learn these techniques? Join us in Portland next month for an exclusive hands-on workshop!

💪🏼 POWER ⚡ There is power in fluidity, like water ... and there is rigid power aka force. They have very different qualities. When we use fluidity in our power, and from a place of resonance, we can facilitate a more profound impact... + more easily 😃 + without fighting 💙 + in a way that upspirals the healing process ✨ #womenhelpingwomen #chiropractic #healing #traumarecovery #traumainformed #power #resilience #fascia #movementtherapy

All hilarity aside, I'm pretty on board with this! In a society that glorifies "go, push, accomplish, DO" it is an act of extreme rebellion to take intentional rest. Not the kind of rest that's forced when your health crashes, but purposeful rest. I am so here for that! What about you?
