Craniosacral and Meditation

One of the reasons why I embraced Craniosacral Therapy was that it has helped me to come more fully into a living meditation.

For a long time, being a constant thinker, it was difficult to quiet down my mind.  During a yoga class, the instructor would leave some time for silence and my chatter continued.  If I was in a in a Meditation group or at the BBSH school, the same thing would happen.  I would observe everyone quiet and emanating more with joy and healthy expression, and I'd be jumping from one thought to the next.  No empty space for me!

Fortunately, when I began to see my first Craniosacral Therapist,  mindful touch techniques and presence began to help me to relax and release old thoughts.  My body felt more enlivened and vital, yet with that tranquil sense of peace without stress.  It was a great relief to quiet down and empty out all the things that were not so relevant.   Progressively, my nervous system changed from anxious to calm. Something that definitely helped me and I knew could help others.

Being a believer in offering what I have learned... I started my own Craniosacral Therapy study and practice about 10 years ago.  Currently, as a Massage Therapist and Certified Advanced Craniosacral Therapist through the Upledger Institute, I have now worked with many people, helping them in the way that I appreciated being supported.  With this work, people genuinely experience new ways of living that help them come more to center and balance, yet feeling energized and generally more positive.  Moving away from pain and stress can change an outlook very easily!

Craniosacral Therapy can be helpful for ADHD,  although it takes commitment to accept the work:), headaches and migraines, fibromyalgia, neck and back pain, digestive issues, nervous system disorders and so much more.  It works with the body's fundamental ability to self-correct and heal on its own.  It is very light touch, but its' profound effects can transform a stressful state, whether physically or emotionally, into a lighter and optimized way of living.

Moving from Story to Quiet with Stillpoint

Craniosacral Therapy Stillpoint: A Quiet Place

From the moment we wake up in the morning, to the time we close our eyes at night... our sense of Self is for the most part, identified with thinking and belief systems that affect our health.  

Of course, thinking is an integral  part of living, building and creating, but it can often be brought out of balance by the extreme demands in life.  When we identify with our outer world relationships, we have a choice to respond from a place of equilibrium or polarity.  What determines our reactions is the shape of the world in which our mind is set.  If we have learned to engage in a certain way throughout our lives,  layered habitual patterns will set the template of what our life sees, feels, and looks like. When we live in these preconceived ideas of reality, it is sometimes difficult to accept what is truly in the present.  And living out of harmony in the past or future can be very stressful.  It can make it difficult to be in the truth of the moment.  It can affect our health in so many negative ways. When we are anywhere else besides being with what is.... we are at odds. 

It is when we have the chance to wake up to the realization that our "story is created by us" and that we are indeed responsible for creating and co-creating in the theaters of our mind, that we begin to free up and live more vitally.  Stress leaves, and our Presence expands.

One of the things that can help people to move out of the story and into essence is to have the body's sensory input shift with a Craniosacral Therapy Session.  Often, when clients, come in to my office, they are upset, not feeling well, in pain, stressed out and basically feeling out of whack.  One of the first and best things I do at the beginning of a session is to help the body go into a Stillpoint .   It is the easiest thing I have found to help people to calm down from mind chatter and to allow the body to relax and therapeutically self-correct.  An intervention into the craniosacral system with the merging of the therapist and the client with a small manual movement stirs the consciousness into rippling waves of unfolding and reconnection on so many levels of the physiology, as well as the mind and spirit.  

Clients often describe it as: there is a certain point where the brain seems to just empty and let go of all the stress and tension.  It's quiet and rich.

I find that it is in these quiet places that our whole world can change.

Reality is Reality~

Releasing Pain

Craniosacral Therapy

If you want to let go of a painful condition in life, it is necessary to commit to the journey of releasing, asking for help and finding the beauty in the experience. 

It may be a person who comes to your aid, but maybe not- what's key is to allow something in other than what is already in your "enclosed system". New information needs to be able to enter the pain state for transformation. 

Healing can best happen when there is intention and/or grace is allowed. One of the reasons I love Craniosacral Therapy is that although I am doing the work, the work is always doing both myself and the client at a deeper level unleashing the healing potential.  There is no doing in it actually, but rather an opportunity to shift.
