Learning to listen to and live in my body has transformed and maybe even saved my life. For the past twenty-five years, after a complete razing to the ground of my life as I previously knew it, I have been passionately conducting my own independent study of the human body and what it means to be in it.
CranioSacral Therapy works directly with the autonomic nervous system using specific hand placements, or “holds” which target the soft tissues and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Working with the body in this way may help the client come into a deeply relaxed state. From this ‘melted’ state, in a safe space where emotion is welcome, restrictions and deep holding patterns in the body can soften, unwind and release. The nervous system is then able to “re-set”, as a rhythmical fluid flow is restored.
