Movement of the eyes, head, and neck plays a powerful role in supporting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the system. This isn’t just passive, it’s driven in part by the deep connections between the muscles and the nervous system. The suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull link directly into the dura mater through what are known as myodural bridges (MDBs). Every time the head or eyes move, these tiny but significant connections create subtle tension and release through the dura, helping to influence fluid movement around the brain and spinal cord. It’s a great reminder that movement, especially precise, controlled movement, isn’t just about muscles and joints, it’s about supporting the brain and nervous system at a much deeper level.

Try this exercise: Sitting down, relax your shoulders, and place your tongue gently on the roof of your mouth. Keep your head still and slowly move your eyes all the way to the right, hold for 5–10 seconds, then back to centre. Repeat to the left. Now add a slow head turn to the right while your eyes stay fixed on a point in front of you, then return to centre, and repeat to the left. As you do this, breathe slowly through your nose and notice any shifts in tension at the base of your skull. This combination of eye, head, and neck movement gently stimulates those deep connections into the dura, helping to regulate the nervous system and support fluid movement around the brain. It’s subtle, but done right, it can feel like a full nervous system reset.

@atreegrowsinhawaii and me FaceTimed last weekend and the time I passed out while living in Australia came up and I realized some of you may not know this story and idk but it’s a pretty good (bad) one

I was home alone at the house where I was an au pair and I took a hot bath one night. Great wonderful clawfoot tub bath. Got out and felt very hot and light headed, so I wobbly walked over the tile floor to the nearest door and opened it and stood there trying to cool off. Instead I dropped my towel and passed out (so completely naked with the door facing a street wide open) woke up after an undetermined amount of time SEIZING on my back and my head pounding. After a few moments I stopped seizing and got up, immediately felt hot again so I went to the shower and sat under ice cold water until I felt normal.

And no I didn’t go to the doctor after like I probably should of or really tell anyone until much later 🥴
