The Spinal Flow Technique by Dr. Carli Axford is a healing modality that focuses on unlocking the body’s natural ability to heal through the spine. It works by releasing spinal blockages, allowing cerebrospinal fluid to flow freely, restoring the nervous system to a state of balance.

The 7 Gateways of the Spine

These 7 Gateways represent key energetic and structural access points in the spine where stress and trauma accumulate. Each gateway is associated with different emotional, physical, and energetic patterns.

  1. Sacrum Gateway – Connected to survival, safety, and the base of the spine.

  2. Pelvic Gateway – Related to emotions, creativity, and relationships.

  3. Lumbar Gateway – Governs personal power, self-esteem, and digestion.

  4. Solar Plexus Gateway – Associated with confidence, willpower, and vitality.

  5. Heart Gateway – Holds energy related to love, compassion, and grief.

  6. Throat Gateway – Tied to communication, self-expression, and truth.

  7. Cranial Gateway – The highest gateway, linked to higher consciousness, intuition, and clarity.

The 33 Access Points of the Spine

The 33 Access Points are precise spots along the spine that are used in Spinal Flow sessions. They correspond to specific vertebrae and energetic zones where trauma, stress, and tension can be stored.

By applying gentle touch and specific techniques to these 33 Access Points, the Spinal Flow Technique helps:

• Release stored physical, emotional, and energetic blockages.

• Restore the natural flow of cerebrospinal fluid.

• Activate the body’s self-healing ability.

How It Facilitates Rapid Healing

• Identifies the root cause of stress and trauma within the spine.

• Works with the nervous system to shift from a stress state (sympathetic mode) to a healing state (parasympathetic mode).

• Encourages deep cellular release and realignment, allowing energy to flow freely again.
