CranioSacral Therapy
Gently releasing restrictions in the CranioSacral system.
There are times when the source of a difficulty is at the physical level, not the mental or emotional level. An example would be a birth-induced restriction in the nerves and tissue of the tailbone and pelvis that is causing depression, diminished energy and brain-fog for the mother. Or a blow to the head, even years ago, that has impacted memory, clarity, energy level and motivation.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system, the environment in which the brain, spinal cord and central nervous system function. Problems with this system can cause difficulties and discomfort in many areas throughout the body.
How does CST work?
During a CST session, I identify and evaluate restrictions in the client’s body. Then I assist the client in removing obstacles that the body’s normal self-correcting mechanism has been unable to overcome. Gentle pressure, frequently only five grams (the weight of a nickel), patiently coaxes the body to relinquish the restriction. In this process, I actually assist the client’s craniosacral system with its own self-correcting activities. In many cases, this quickly leads to an improvement in the functioning of the various physiological systems, reducing symptoms and improving the body’s physical, energetic and emotional environment.
What other body systems are involved?
CST also addresses restrictions in connective tissue (fascia), the continuous web-like bodystocking that surrounds and supports all your muscles and organs. Thus, CST is a hands-on, full-body therapy, using light touch to address restrictions and problems throughout all the systems of the body.
SomatoEmotional Release (SER)
Research has led to the discovery that the body often retains the emotional imprint of physical or emotional trauma or shock, for example the sudden loss of a loved one. SER is an off-shoot of CST which incorporates dialoguing, guided imagery and visualization, and NeuroLinguistic Programming techniques to help clear the mind and body of the residual effects of this trauma, whether from chronic or unique events. Release of these patterns from the body and mind results in elimination of symptoms, increased energy being available for optimal healthy functioning, and an enhanced sense of wholeness and balance in the physical and emotional state.
