What is Cranio Sacral Therapy?
Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST) arose in 1930’s when Dr William Garner Sutherland, father of Cranial Osteopathy, extended the work started by osteopath Dr Andrew Taylor Still. In the late 1960’s Dr John Upledger developed it further and refined the Cranio Sacral system and developed more specific techniques.
Around the world there are many different schools of CST, most having their own interpretation of the original version.
The purpose is to tune in the client’s energetic body and connecting at the level of the cerebro spinal fluid (CSF) to assist the release of any restrictions or patterns that are creating the client’s symptoms*.
These symptoms could be physical, emotional or spiritual in manifestation and presentation.
CSF what the Chinese refer to as “Jing”, the life essence of a person.
It is considered to be the Sacred Fluid.
Flow
Flow is very important to provide connection, communication and resilience that our physical systems need to function to increase health. Healthy flow connects and distributes information and energy physically, emotionally and spiritually around the body. When flow is weak, blocked or stagnant it can affect your health.
A CST practitioner feels where it flows around, through, or below the blockage and helps adaptation and rebalancing for harmony in your body.
Like music, rhythms tempo and flow pumps and circulates blood, oxygen and other fluids through your body, including cranio-sacral fluid. CST assists in bringing into harmony the ebb and flow of waves of energy, adjusting so that you can relax and release blockages and retune into the flow
When we are in tune with our lifes temp, we are relaxed happy and in harmony.
What will happen and what will I feel during a session?
We will first talk about your health and well being. If you feel blocked or stuck in some area of your body or your life I can help you unblock it gently, safely and non-invasively.
During the Cranio Sacral Therapy session you will be lying fully clothed on a massage table with a pillow under your knees. You will feel the light touch of my hands.
First I spend some time tuning into your whole body’s energy system. I will “feel into” and sense the flow of CSF and energy in your spine and identify areas of congestion or restriction, then help your body to regain flow and release the block or tension. As your body releases, the energy that it was using to hold itself in contraction is also released to flow smoothly.
You may feel very relaxed and even fall asleep. You may feel heat from my hands, tingling, pulsation or other sensations. All of which are completely normal and may vary with each session.
With each treatment your body downloads information and more relaxation, comfort balance and harmony. Because the body ‘learns’, momentum and progress is easier during each subsequent session.
Why tune into Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF)?
Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF) flows within the dural membranes, or meninges, as they are commonly known, that form a continuous system. It encloses the spinal chord (nervous system) inside the vertebrae of the spinal column and encloses the brain in its balloon.
CSF also seeps out of the dural membranes into the body, back into the blood circulation. CSF provides the transport medium to carry necessary and essential nutrients to the nervous system, brain and eventually the body. Without it the body could not survive.
How Does Cranio Sacral Therapy Work?
By tuning into your energetic system and CSF Ally is able to receive information from your body.
This information and whatever else she receives will lead her to where she should make contact on your body and she is guided to do or be with.
Ally “tunes in” to the area and assist you to release: either by intention, working with structural alignments, or by being totally present and providing a ‘safe’ space for the release.
Once there is a release, you can notice a change in their way of being or how your body feels.
Although a very subtle therapy, CST can create some profound shifts and experiences with people.
Everybody’s experience is individual, and each session is different from the last (of course your body is ever changing so the same body never lies on your table again!)
As CST is non-intrusive, clients are sometimes able to release traumas previous therapies have not resolved.
*What is CST good for?
Cranio Sacral Therapy uses gentle touch on the joints of the cranium or skull, parts of the pelvis, and the spine for healing. Some people use cranio sacral therapy as an addition to other forms of treatment. As a whole body therapy, CST can aid almost any condition. It can raise vitality, increase available energy, and enable the body’s own self- healing to be activated. It is very helpful for the following:
- Trauma & fatigue
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Digestive problems
- Exhaustion & fatigue
- Stress-related conditions
- Headaches & migraines
- TMJ jaw disorders & teeth grinding
- Anxiety, depression
- Emotional Release
- Insomnia – sleep problems
- Hormonal problems and period pain
- Back pain & sciatica
- Infertility
- Sexual disorders
- Muscle aches & pains – back and neck aches
- Breathing problems
- Pain disorders
How Many Sessions will I need?
During your sessions your body downloads information and resources to ‘learn’ new more comfortable ways of laying down structure and easier ways of functioning. This means that healing can be improved with each session. Patterns of tension that are stuck may take time to unwind and realign before finding ways to function more comfortably.
If you have never had a CST treatment before, committing to 4 sessions is recommended. For those whose system is familiar with Cranio Sacral Therapy one or two sessions is good.
A personal recommendation will be given after talking and working with you at your initial session.
After the first few sessions many people choose to make CST a regular part of their wellness program and schedule regular maintenance sessions according to their lifestyle and needs.
