Family care Booklet

We're going to start a small, accessible family booklet, for safe exchanges, massages, cares, between brothers, sisters, parents, children, and others united by the desire to know each other better and live more harmoniously:

Let's explore our cranial balance together

A little moment of care and calm massage for each other — around C0-C1

We're not going to become pro overnight, that's not the goal!

But among ourselves, within the family or among friends, we can teach each other simple gestures that feel good and reconnect... And today, we're going to learn to feel the base of our skull. That little corner where the head rests on the spine: C0-C1.

How to do it as a couple (or even alone in front of a mirror)

Settle into a quiet place

Sofa, bed, or rug... The idea is to take a quiet moment. Breathe, relax, and put yourself in "listen to my body" mode.

Place your thumbs at the base of your skull.

Right where the skull curves toward the nape of your neck. It's soft; don't press, just rest.

You'll feel two bony areas: this is the atlas (C1).

One side may be a little more raised, or you may feel a little tension on one side.

Observe, without judging.

Is it the same on both sides?

Does it feel warm or a little tense?

When I breathe, does it relax a little?

Why is this important? Because this little corner of the body, where the head meets the spine, is a true crossroads.

When it's in harmony, we sleep better, digest better, and think more clearly.

And when it's tense, it can help with headaches, dizziness, or even back tension.

The best part is that it's simple.

You don't need to be a therapist. You just have to learn to listen.

These are gestures that connect us—to ourselves, and to others.
