With the demands placed on us in today’s busy modern world, we’re asking more and more from ourselves than ever before. Juggling work commitments and travel, family life, sick children, aging parents and rising financial pressure, we rush, we push, and we keep going well beyond what our bodies can take. So many of us have pushed ourselves far outside our window of tolerance, and we didn’t even notice the regular cues our body sends us when the body, mind or spirit are in distress. We’re exhausted. And unfortunately, for some, this leads to diagnosed, clinical burn out and an extended period of rehabilitation and recovery.

Your body needs rest - deep rest- and stillness to heal and repair

Spinal Flow Technique®, developed by Australian chiropractor Dr Carli Axford, offers some respite. It uses gentle, light touch applied to access points on the cranium and sacrum to contact the nervous system. By positively influencing the dura matter (the outermost meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord), the body is able to gently shift from a sympathetic dominant state (‘fight/flight/flee’) into a parasympathetic state, where it prioritises rest, digestion and repair. Cerebrospinal fluid flows freely up and down the spinal column, nourishing the nervous system. An experienced, certified practitioner can easily identify and support the release of spinal blockages (so the body can release some of the layers of stress it is holding onto), which has a positive flow-on effect to the muscles, organs, tissues and systems of the body.

Spinal Flow Technique® is an incredibly gentle and deeply relaxing technique to relieve stress and nurture the body, mind and spirit to promote overall wellbeing. Your body has an innate healing intelligence - you need only access it. With Spinal Flow, this can be easy and graceful. Lie down, relax… And as the nervous system shifts into a parasympathetic state and the body starts to unwind from all the stress that has built up on top of it, you start to feel peaceful and at ease, like you’re floating on and supported by safe waters. Spinal Flow brings you into a state of mindfulness, where you can bring presence and awareness to the present moment. In the now, one can learn to simply witness and acknowledge their thoughts, emotions and body sensations, and then let them go and allow them to drift away.

You don’t need to hold on so tightly. You don’t need to always keep it all together. There is another way…
With very little effort, you can learn to bring more awareness to your experience and learn to flow with life. (Your nervous system will thank you for it!)
