Network Spinal
shift from protection to presence
Network Spinal Analysis is a gentle, light-touch approach to chiropractic care that supports the nervous system in expressing greater coherence and wholeness. By reducing patterns of neurological defense and easing tension along the spinal cord, the body’s internal communication naturally improves. As tension releases, a sense of physiological safety emerges, which is often experienced as increased presence, openness and deep rest within oneself.
When the nervous system becomes more available rather than guarded or contracted, communication between the brain and body is enhanced, allowing the system to function more efficiently. While Network Spinal Analysis is not designed to cure any specific conditions, many people report reductions in physical discomfort, shifts in sensation and a deeper sense of self-awareness. This increased awareness creates the foundation for lasting changes in how one experiences their body, life and overall well-being.
WHAT INTERFERES WITH YOUR EXPRESSION OF WHOLENESS?
Most people are familiar with the experience of stress. The root of stress is resistance. When we don’t have the capacity to be with the experiences of life we develop strategies to protect ourselves from pain . Those strategies are known as fight-flight-freeze responses.
As an effect of these responses there are very specific ways that our spinal cord tenses or tightens up. Many times people are not aware of tension in their spinal cord, however often they are aware of tension in their muscles or other various aches or pains in their body. Some people might also feel exhaustion, inability to turn their mind off, difficulties with digestion, problems sleeping and the list goes on.
When we don’t have the internal resources to meet our lived experience, the nervous system organizes around survival rather than ease. Although this is an internal state, it becomes visible externally through our posture, muscle tensions and spinal patterns. Over time these protective patterns restricts our vitality and interfere with our natural state of wholeness and well-being.
3 levels of Network Spinal Care
Level 1: Discover Care-Heal
In this level of care you start the self-discovery process of seeing how you’ve learned to protect, move away from or shut down in order to avoid pain. With this awareness you learn how to move towards discomfort, and as you do tension is released.
When tension in the muscles, spine, and other parts of your body is released it allows for respiration to move through your spine in fluid wave like motion. This is an indication of moving from a state of neurological protection into physiological safety.
As you learn to be more present with discomfort, the paradox is that you often feel less pain and lighter, fuller breath. People also report improved sleep, better digestion, less anxiety, flexibility, and more presence in their day to day life. The primary goal in this level of care is the feeling of ease and safety.
Level 2: Transform Care – Grow
Now that you feel more ease and less fight-flight-freeze responses you can begin the learning process. During level 2 you learn how to take previously stored tension and use it as fuel to create more efficient patterns and pathways in your nervous system.
This is how you transform your habitual and automatic responses. You also begin to move forward into new levels of self expression, creativity, and self-empowerment. People notice emotional resilience, mental clarity and direction, confidence in self, upright posture and higher levels of energy in this level of care.
An energetic wave emerges in this level of care that runs up and down the spine and helps to destabilize outdated patterns in your nervous system that are inefficient. The goal of this level is the recognition of your inner power to impact your well-being and life.
Level 3: Awaken Care – Love
Once you’ve developed the patterns and pathways in level 2 you now begin to access and use the energy of your heart to inform the neural patterning of your thoughts, emotions and your body.
When you no longer perceive the need to protect yourself or avoid certain elements of life, you open into the field of love or bliss. Inside of this you become more aware of your subtle nature, respond less with linear thinking and more with your heart guiding you.
You also become “we” focused, service oriented and participate with life in a more inter-connective way. There is no plateau to this level of care. You and your nervous system can continue to learn new strategies throughout your life time that move you into greater awareness, growth and expansion.
