Ahh, how wonderful. I look forward to this series, dear Patty. You know of course, that I experience diaphragms as stingrays 😘🙏

Patty, thank you! And please, I’m really curious about corpus collosum in numerous ways but I have never explored this as a diaphragm. May I ask if you would share a tiny bit more on this? Or point me to some more info. Or maybe there will be more in a future post? Thank you again 🙏

I would be happy to share more on this. Honestly it is still developing in my experience. Of course, when I feel something like this that I hadn't learned from another person, I check in with Bonnie to see what she feels. She feels as I do that it does function like another diaphragm and meets the criteria of being a horizontal weave of tissue that, in this case, forms the roof of the limbic system and the base of the cerebral cortex.

It hovers in there as an horizontal structure, sensitive and communicating throughout its fibers. The inquiry is new for me. The corpus callosum feels like a missing piece within this central mobile-like chain of supports that are part of the organizational framework for a light and spacious – (intelligent)– central channel.

What I'm finding is that once seeing this, I cannot un-see it!! I feel it to be a critical resting place at the top of the chain and right at the central brain.

Please continue to share your thoughts, Beverly! We are all in this together. With love, Patty

Perfect! Thank you. 🙏 Yes I feel it weaving horizontally and integrating and balancing the buoyancy of the two hemisphere. It feels it sort of makes a oneness out of the twoness. What I have never considered is it how it responds to the breath. I am really grateful for that enquiry and I will share anything that comes up for me 😀

So, Patty, where I am with this is that I locate the CC by shifting my attention from the breath winging in/out along sphenoid and I think because that is my jumping off point I feel a similar “winging” along the CC. Image that comes to mind is the manta ray. I get a similar wing beat sensation if I come in from the occipital. What this means for me is that inhalation ‘widens’ the space between the base of the hemispheres and ‘tips’ the top of the hemispheres towards each other. If there are any cranial sacral therapists here I’d love to know what they sense!

Hi Beverly,

Great to be dialoguing about this with you. I really appreciate your observations. ❤️ I too am continuing to explore. My jumping off place is more from the fluid than the bone —the ventricles and the choroid plexuses. Your observations and inquiries are adding and expanding my filed of noticing in there. Thank you!

I am still feeling from the fluid and the resting of the corpus collasum on its movement. I do feel a widening and a dipping down of CC's center on inhalation now. Similar to what you are saying about the sides of the hemispheres tipping. I experience it (ha ha! so far) as a doming downward in the center as it widens on the edges on inhaling. Bringing a widening to the base of the brain that reverberates through soft palate and under my tongue.

I am feeling like the corpus collasum is a part of the pumping of the CSF.

This is fun! Let's keep talking!

Wonderful… I love that we are converging from different places and with different language and yet it feels we arrive in a similar place. 😀🙏

Thank you Patty!

Love the diagram of the diaphragms ;)
