The [[Foramen Magnum]] (Latin: great hole) is a large oval opening (foramen) in the occipital bone of the skull in humans and various other animals. It is one of the several oval or circular openings (foramina) in the base of the skull. The spinal cord, an extension of the | The function of the [[Foramen Magnum]] is to allow nerves, blood vessels and fluid to pass in and out of the brain. The [[Foramen Magnum]] is a large hole at the base of the skull. The [[Brain]] stem is essentially seated in the [[Foramen Magnum]] and lying on the basi-occiput. It can be subject to structural pressures that generate misalignment for a variety of different reasons. | ||

It is one of the several oval or circular openings (foramina) in the base of the skull. The spinal cord, an extension of the [[Medulla Oblongata]], passes through the foramen magnum as it exits the cranial cavity. | |||
Apart from the transmission of the [[Medulla Oblongata]] and its membranes, the foramen magnum transmits the vertebral arteries, the anterior and posterior spinal arteries, the tectorial membranes and alar ligaments. It also transmits the spinal component of the accessory nerve into the skull.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foramen_magnum Foramen Magnum]</ref> | Apart from the transmission of the [[Medulla Oblongata]] and its membranes, the foramen magnum transmits the vertebral arteries, the anterior and posterior spinal arteries, the tectorial membranes and alar ligaments.

In anatomy, the atlas (C1) is the most superior (first) cervical vertebra of the spine. It is named for the Atlas of Greek mythology, because it supports the globe of the head which is the skull. The atlas is the topmost vertebra and with the axis forms the joint connecting the skull and spine. The atlas and axis are specialized to allow a greater range of motion than normal vertebrae. They are responsible for the nodding and rotation movements of the head. | In anatomy, the atlas (C1) is the most superior (first) cervical vertebra of the spine.

The atlanto-occipital joint allows the head to nod up and down on the vertebral column. The dens acts as a pivot that allows the atlas and attached head to rotate on the axis, side to side. The atlas's chief peculiarity is that it has no body. It is ring-like and consists of an anterior and a posterior arch and two lateral masses. The atlas and axis are important neurologically because the brain stem extends down to the axis. <ref>[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(anatomy) Atlas</ref> | The atlanto-occipital joint allows the head to nod up and down on the vertebral column.

Given the fact the [[Foramen Magnum]] (the opening at the base of the skull allowing the spinal cord to flow from the brain) can become partially occluded due to subluxation of the atlas vertebrae, which protects this area, it becomes obvious that this area is paramount for nerve flow through the body. Any disruption can cause extreme symptomatology and condition response. This is true for any neurological, visceral or musculoskeletal condition. <ref>[https://www.acupuncturetoday.com/mpacms/at/article.php?id=32248 The Atlas Vertebrae]</ref> | Given the fact the [[Foramen Magnum]] (the opening at the base of the skull allowing the spinal cord to flow from the brain) can become partially occluded due to subluxation of the atlas vertebrae, which protects this area, it becomes obvious that this area is paramount for nerve flow through the body.

==Atlas Adjustment Technique== | |||
During the [[Ascension Cycle]], some on the [[Awakening]] path of [[Kundalini]] activation have found relief of various intensified symptoms through [[Atlas Adjustment]]. | |||
* Premise one: The "atlas activate and adjust" technique is a chiropractic procedure that reactivates or reconnects a dysfunctional or pathological body part's nervous system with the central nervous system via the master switch - the atlas vertebra. | |||
* Premise two: On occasion, a body part's nervous system either partially or totally disconnects from the central nervous system below the level of the atlas, which requires this dysfunctional body part's nervous system to be reactivated to the central nervous system, before the subluxated atlas is adjusted. | |||
*Premise three: Adjusting the subluxated atlas after reactivation reconnects the central nervous system with the dysfunctional body part's nervous system, which allows for the return of maximum adaptability or homeostasis. | |||
* Premise four: This procedure activates the mind and body to connect the diseased or dysfunctional syndrome with the causative vertebral subluxation complex.<ref>[https://www.dynamicchiropractic.com/mpacms/dc/article.php?id=18133 Atlas Adjustment]</ref> | |||
