Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful hands-on therapy which assists the body’s natural capacity to repair itself.
This therapy will reduce your stress level and build your energy. A session will support and encourage your body’s own ability to balance, restore and heal itself. Practitioners will sense tensions in the body and help to release them in a supported, comfortable way.
Craniosacral therapy is a non invasive therapy. You remain fully clothed and the therapist makes a light touch on your feet, head, shoulders and maybe even your spine or sacrum. It is a deeply relaxing treatment.
During or after a session you may feel calm, energised, an increased clarity of mind and generally an overall feeling of well-being. People often report a lovely sense of peace in the body with better, longer and deeper sleep.
In craniosacral therapy the intelligent, universal life force that moves through our bodies is referred to as the ‘breath of life’. All living tissues express this life force as a subtle rhythmic motion and this motion is palpable to the hands of a trained therapist. Any number of physical or emotional stresses can block the natural flow of this life force in our bodies. When this subtle motion gets compromised it can lead to a wide range of health problems.
Craniosacral sessions will help to overcome these blocks and help your life force flow in a more balanced way leading to optimum health. The therapist carefully listens to and acknowledges the body’s physiological messages and rhythms. This process of acknowledgement, of simply being heard can be very powerful. Our physical and emotional body responds to this acknowledgement and through this compassionate attention our body can let go of blocks that are holding us back. This sacred stillness which encourages healing is all achieved through the power of presence.
Craniosacral therapy is very effective in dealing with all sorts of physical ailments including back pains, pulled and sore muscles, foot and leg pains, sleep problems, bone fractures, frozen shoulder, migraines, grinding teeth, sore jaws, concussion, chronic fatigue, tinnitus, tension any all pain/discomfort resulting from any kind of physical accident, falls, sports injury or car accidents.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is powerfully effective in working with all stress related illnesses, all types of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, sleep disturbance and all emotional related problems that we may face in life. As humans we are often overwhelmed by trauma which often gets trapped in the cells of our body. With craniosacral work, trauma is processed at a slow pace that the body can handle. This helps you move gradually toward deeper levels of stillness and peace.
Cranial work will naturally resource you, keep you grounded and bring you into your body. This integration into the body will help with the processing of held trauma which will lead to calm, more joyful states of being and living.
In stillness, the deep potency of the ‘breath of life’ can radiate throughout every cell of your body and deep healing may take place. When our body begins to reorder our physical pains reduce, our fears weaken and loose their power over us.
Dynamic Stillness creates the potential for the deepest level of healing. No intention is necessary as the ‘breath of life’ knows exactly where to go. As the ‘breath of life’ flows freely you will feel an incredible sense of well being and peace in your body.
The gift of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy came in to my life in 2012. A life changing accident left me with severe injuries and the possibility of being unable to walk unassisted for the rest of my life. In the chaotic months that followed, I set out on a healing mission to restore peace to my body. It became a journey through many diverse therapies, but ultimately I found the peace that I searched for with Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.
While I was recovering from my accident, life looked very bleak. I had lost my career, my savings and I was limping heavily. If that wasn’t bad enough, I was about to turn 40! My situation tended to elicit sorrow or pity in the people I met. However, it was ironic that during this time I found myself the happiest I had ever been. I had a deep feeling of presence and peace in my body that at times became a steady bliss state. This was the effect of Craniosacral Therapy. On reflection, I realise that my accident was infact a blessing in disguise as the subsequent healing journey is the best thing that has ever happened in my life.
Craniosacral Therapy is deeply relaxing, but also has the potential to be transformational over time. I was so impressed with the outcome as a client that I trained as a therapist. I am deeply passionate about Craniosacral Therapy. It has the potential to change how we relate to those hurdles that life presents us with. Finding peace in your body is the biggest gift you can give yourself.
