Cranial sacral, Brain (and fluids) – Body Flow
A verbal journey through a “simplified sequence” of development, function, relational and innate healing capabilities.

We are amazing instrument’s of consciousness, Authentic Intelligence, and we are Genius!
In our mother’s womb, we bathe in and are nourished by amniotic fluid.
This primordial fluid, which transitions into cerebral spinal fluid- CSF, is a molecule away from sea water, a conveyer of energy and information, Scalar Energy.
Some say, the “IAM” presence, life force, chi, bio energy, Kundalini.
This highly nourishing fluid aids in the growth of the fetus.
Approximately 4 weeks gestation, the neural tube closure takes place, and a differentiation occurs, the amniotic fluid becomes Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) within the growing fetus.
The brain and spinal cord are organized around this fluid, which informs the developing brain of what to do and is capable of tissue growth and ultimately the “Global hydraulic system” arises through the cranium, spine and sacrum.
This system encompasses the prenatal essence and the respiration of life force.
The brain cavity, the ventricles, house the CSF and travels along the neural tube to Lumbar-vertebrae 2.
The nervous system continues into the sacral bone 2-3.
The central nervous system, CNS, is bathed by the CSF and produces approximately 500 ml per day, draining through blood, the vascular system and the Glymphatic system( lymphatic’s of the brain), a continuous flow through the nervous system.
All parts of the brain have their functions and bodily relationships , biomechanically, biochemically, bioenergetically, mental-emotional and spiritually.
The cranium, brain tissue, CSF, CNF and connective tissue layers along the neural tube of the spine, and sacrum, are in partnership with brain body patterns created for our survival.
When we are born, the cranial sutures are soft and pliable to allow the journey through the birth canal.
These sutures do not fuse as we grow, but rather have mobility and inherent motility. The sacrum has these same qualities.
The connective tissue layer of the dura and duralumin tube protect the brain and the nervous system. The central nervous system is bathed within and without by the CSF, informing all molecular process’.
Osteopathic medicine, science and research, has given rise to the teachings of Cranial sacral therapy and Brain therapy technique, a specialized form of manual therapy working with the brain tissue, addressing the nervous system, bones, membranes, grey and white matter, neonatal reflexes and eyes.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatment is also in relationship to this system functioning, as the glymphatic system (lymphatics of the brain) has recently been acknowledged, although always existed.
These structures are intimately connected in the functioning of this global hydraulic system. Trained and intuitive practitioners are able to apply with precision these applications and support the wisdom of the body’s innate healing abilities.
There are three main parts of the brain, four lobes, two hemispheres, (the homunculus), grey and white matter, neurons and glia cells, all with distinct roles and regulation of bodily functions.
Within each cell is mitochondria, the “powerhouse” of the cell that produce adenosine triphosphate – ATP, the main currency of the cell.
The Glymphatic system is the lymphatic system of the brain, having the same functions as whole body lymphatics, of transport and clearing.
The CSF communicates throughout the brain without synapses, a conveyer of Scalar Energy conductivity, a field of encoded substances using total synchronization!Needless to say the environment of the brain is extremely complex, sensitive and intuitive, with much more to explore. We develop through our genetic blueprint, becoming our constitution and grow into our life’s experiences and purpose.
Distorted cell structures, through genetic abnormalities and disorders, accidents, injuries, stroke, etc., along with, bio mechanical stress, biochemical stress, bioenergetic stress , and distressed mental/emotional patterns (somatic aspect), are housed in our constitution and brain-organ relationships. Neuro plasticity and intentional applications of said therapies can assist in recovery, clearing pathways, transforming trauma reactions,and promoting optimal environment for overall function. Healing and alignment are enhanced with Energy medicine devices, such as Frequency Specific Microcurrent, Photobiomodulation, near infrared wavelengths, along with additional bodywork techniques.
The brain and the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system, CNS.
The spine houses the spinal nerves, the peripheral nervous system, PNS, which has two component systems, sensory and motor( somatic and visceral).
There are segments of the spinal cord along with correlating spinal nerves and their functions:
Cranium- Brain spinal cord
The cervical segment
The thoracic segment
The lumbar segment- where the spinal cord comes to an end as well as the CSF
The sacral segment
The coccyx- the tailbone
Although the spinal cord technically ends, the nerve innervation continues, and is in constant communication within this hydraulic system and, with all planes of existence. From our vital physical aspect, mental/emotional aspects , spiritual and cosmic aspects, we are connected and in communication. Genius!
For those who are new to this information, one can begin to see the importance of therapeutic applications to these systems. The human body has incredible ability to protect us and does this in a variety of ways.
When we have an overuse or traumatic experience of any kind, our body goes into action to protect, heal and recover through various biological principles and a sequence of healing. When each cycle has not healed completely or is interrupted, pathologies occur and the tipping point of re injury is smaller, it takes less stress to be reactive. This happens on a cellular level, The Cell Danger Response.
When we understand these principles, we can identify and assist the body’s wisdom to heal through natural therapeutic applications and compliance of the individual. The practitioner’s hands emit scalar energy (all of our hands have this ability). Our hands sense and communicate with the bodily systems and their energetic/scalar rhythms of information, allowing reorganization and ultimately homeostasis. These highly perceptual techniques, applied with skill and precision with correlation to other areas of the body, can support a broad spectrum of conditions, such as:
Anxiety, stress, depression and general mental health
Accidents, injuries, surgeries- pre and post operative
Chronic conditions and pathologies for which there seems to be no resolve
Brain and neurological health projects
Trauma
Improving genetic constitutions
Increased awareness, intuition and consciousness
A whole body “reset”
Moving through life we become accustomed to a level of disharmony. Receiving this integrative and therapeutic approach brings us back to center, allowing our whole being to heal, and reminds us of who we are.
Authentic Intelligence
Genius!
Note from Sarah
I would like to state that I consider healing a sacred act of service, with permission. When one is informed, and or in need, and chooses to participate in their own process, healing is exponential. It is an honor to facilitate this communication between our humanity, spirit and the one. We all have spirit given gifts to be brought out into the world and add to the qualitative state of our lives and eternity. Many times we discover these aspects through challenging circumstances, when recognized, have potential to be a catalyst for our gifts to be expressed with brilliance. Be inspired to say yes!
I also want to give credit where credit is due, to Dr Joe Dispenza for the “Genius” commentary. Having attended his workshops and teachings, we definitely activated the systems discussed in the article, and he is an authentic expression of truth and love.
Many Blessings
