What is cranial nerve sequencing?

It's a deep resilience practice that provides natural stress reIief. I guide you step by step through an embodied experience of all 12 cranial nerves using the Alexander Technique principles.

Each nerve can be accessed one at a time, or you can move through them in sequence once you are familiar with the practices and the functional anatomy underlying them.

These practices enhance receptivity and self-acceptance, availability for learning, productivity, and meaningful connection with other human beings.

This is not a treatment for trauma, but it can sooth a traumatized or stressed nervous system through quiet learning and somatic exploration. It is exploratory and educational, not diagnostic or treatment oriented.

You will learn the basic anatomy and function of each nerve, along with practices you can use to further explore each one on your own, and recordings with visual support materials to help you remember what you've learned.

Our perceptual and motor systems can get stuck together in patterns that hold us back or make us feel stuck.

When our motor system is always active, it drowns out the nuance of sensory experience. When our sensory system feels unsupported by our structure, we can feel easily overwhelmed.

Through exploring each cranial nerve, how it connects to and animates your physical structure, you can experience a more springy and resilient relationship between inner and outer worlds.

We don't have to think so hard that we forget our bodies. We don't need to smell with our neck muscles, hear with our jaw muscles, or see with our frown muscles.

Cranial Nerve Sequencing also activates a free and delicate articulation of head and spine, resetting overall coordination throughout your whole body so you can be more open and available for what is happening around you.

The practice provides access to the resonant voice and dynamic postural tone that the Alexander Technique is famous for.
