What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
BIODYNAMIC CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY is a gentle, hands-on listening touch. The touch is about connecting to and honoring the primal expression of life in the body. The same expression of life that is present at the start of our embryological formation, and is integral to the organization of the vital organs during development.
This life force takes on a simple course in the body. It travels back and forth from the cranium to the sacrum. It is a palpable sensation within the motion of the cerebral spinal fluid and the mobility throughout the bones, respectively. The purpose of a session is to reestablish the connection between the cranium and sacrum.
As the touch tunes into the expression of health that is moving most freely and abundantly, life force is inherently enhanced, growing stronger and wider. Places that are faint or off kilter reveal patterns of asynchronous pulls across the body. The phenomenon then becomes about the body innate intelligence witnessing itself and responding. When this happens, movement of life force pauses, reorganizes, and resets, accessing a fuller and more balanced expression of life.
Sessions can be deeply relaxing and as the body’s Nervous system easily settles into a parasympathetic state, one can expect to be in and out of sleep. Sleep is often filled with many short dreams, accompanied by an altered sense of time upon awakening. This kind of deep rest aids the body in repair and replenishment. The depth by which one's body is able to settle and disentable is able to disentangle itself depends meaningfully on one's ability to slow the mind, be present or feel good. The work becomes exponential how ever far one can meet it.Benefits from session include: mental clarity, ease from pain, structural symmetry, deeper sleep, and most importnatly decompression of the sensory nerves in the cranium. Sessions especially support people experiencing chronic pain, sciatica, heachaes, migraines, depression, insomnia, TMJ discpmfort, tinnitus, Parkinsons, Bells’ Palsy, Lyme disease, Long Covid, all autoimmune disorders, and end of life transition.
Why Craniosacral Therapy?
Experiences of trauma, emotional or physical, that occur through out our lives get stored in our body when they happen at a time that we dont have the skills to process or understand them.
When an external force (or occurrence) has an impact on the body (or mind), the relationship between connective tissue, fluid and bone structure is compromised. Like pulling on the tip of a fabric, it becomes a point of suspension that expands to affect the field of motion around it. The area becomes restricted and the condition of the fluids and tissues are compromised. Dynamic tension patterns emerge and become intricately woven, coexisting interdependently: what happens in one area undoubtedly has a consequential impact in another area. These stuck energies manifest as perpetual patterns that affect the state of the whole system.
While this occurs on the physical plane, other factors come into play on psychological and emotional levels. Tension patterns keep memories alive in the cells and will recreate thoughts and feelings that maintain the ideal circumstances to remain intact. Strangely, these patterns occurring in the body exist only in present time, thus, we have an opportunity to outgrow these conditions.
