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
