hey guys dr. Berg here in this video I’m going to show you an amazing technique to relax your head and your neck it’s called the cranial relaxation technique there’s three different steps and you’re going to need someone to either do this on you or you to do it on someone else okay so I’m going to have you practice this and then post your comments below let me show you okay so this first technique is very very simple you’re going to be working something called sutures there’s a suture which is a joint on the skull that comes right down the front this way okay and you need someone to do this on your body because it’s hard you’re going to someone’s going to hold your forehead here or you can hold some more head and you’re going to start with your thumb right here and you’re going to press this way so you’re going to traction forward so the skin is going forward and so we have a from back to front effects starting right here and you’re going to hold that pressure forward okay for about sixty minutes and I’m just kidding and then we’re going to inch forward a little bit forward so we’re just going to keep going more forward more forward more forward the only time that you wouldn’t do this is if someone had an injury to the top of the head that’s the next technique I’m going to show you okay and then the other problem is that you mess up the person’s hair so I’m just going to kind of go forward here and I’m tractioning this way going forward what I’m doing is I’m creating a lot of space in the skull it helps to have big thumbs like I do come this way okay so we started here and we just inch forward right here so how does your head feel if I feel the energy moving in it good good so does it feel any more relaxed yes it does yeah that’s that’s the point you’re going to actually your whole head is going to feel kind of relaxed because what happens especially at night is when you try to go to sleep like sometimes there’s a lot of tension in the skull when you do this to release the tension so the first technique is start here and go inch forward right there okay and the next video we’re going to show you step 2 hey guys welcome back in this video we’re going to talk about maneuver 2 for the cranial sacral relaxation technique this is really good if someone has an injury to the top of the head let’s say they bang something on the top of the head oh my gosh this would be wonderful and what you’re going to do is you’re going to take the skull and you’re going to you’re not going to squish it forward you’re going to kind of go forward this way you’re going to push the skull together so we’re pushing up like this and we’re tractioning around towards the center okay so I’m going to hold that pressure for about 30 seconds and for video purposes I’m just going to shorten it so you don’t - watch me for 30 seconds and we come again and we come right into it and if someone if someone has a big head you would do the front part first and then you would do the middle and the back part right through here and this does wonders for your hair so I’m actually squeezing and I’m pulling upward now if you could also when someone has a fall like an injury to the top of that you could even grab their hair and pull it and traction it up and some people just it feels really really good so what did that technique feel it feels light more relaxing feel my sinuses kind of opening up awesome okay so the first technique was coming down the center the second is basically taking this goal and pushing it up here you have a lot of sinuses cavities that are up in the skull through here and this will help get things moving okay so in the next video we’re going to show you step three okay so in this section what we’re going to do is we’re going to work on the articulation between the skull and the neck and there’s all these ligaments that attach in the back of the neck to the skull the back here this back part of the skull this is called the occiput okay so what we’re going to do is we’re going to actually stretch this part okay I like to again hold the forehead take my thumb and in her hair’s down here so be easier to do this on someone that was bald but anyway I’m going to take my thumb right up underneath the skull okay and I’m going to lift and flex okay so I’m stretching it up so I’m taking all those ligaments ligament is bone to bone and I’m stretching them okay now when I stretch I like to use this part of my thumb just so it’s more comfortable so it’s not so sharp okay so I’m going to stretch and flex like a hold the basketball you’re moving like a ball on top of a pivot or a bowling ball so we’re going to come here now I’m going to stretch this two or three times okay I’m going to make her taller lifting up and this is just handle just to guide it now I’m going to work my thumb over this way lifting up and stretching forward pivoting around the center so I’m really lifting up and I’m going forward okay so I’m working my way around this little curve here so I did the left side now I’m going to take my finger middle finger and I’m going to hook the other side up underneath here and I’m going to lift it and stretch it like this up underneath the skull stretch it now I’m going to come a little bit further over here and stretch it right here the key is getting the angle just right so we’re taking the entire back of the skull which is called the occiput and getting all nice and stretched okay now how does that feel it feels good it feels relaxing oh yeah if you did this you would make the person want to take a nap yeah so that’s how you do the cranial relaxation technique alright so that’s how you do it so here’s what I want you to do your next step is to practice on someone you know a family member a friend your spouse and post your comments below thanks for watching hey guys thank you so much for watching please click the subscribe button and I will see you in the next video
