Cranio-Sacral Therapy Introduction:
CST Healing is the application of 3 integrated healing techniques: Physical, Energetic & Whole Being.
1. Physical Body Work:
Ideal for a wide range of physical ailments such as:
Muscular strains, joint injuries, persistent headaches, backache, stiff necks, digestive problems etc.

You will find the gentle CST approach is an ideal way to melt away your physical pain.

2. Energy Release:
This level of working deals with our unresolved physical, mental and emotional traumas, which can be held in the body long after the event which caused them. These unresolved past traumas are often at the root of our irrational fears and chronic physical symptoms (e.g. arthritis, insomnia, migraines, IBS).

By listening deeply to the whole person, a CST therapist identifies these unresolved traumas and then supports their release from the client. These unresolved past traumas often take the form of nervous shock and locked-up vital energy.

Once this nervous shock and locked-up energy are released, the trauma’s symptoms usually disappear for good.

3. Whole Being:
With its’ non-judgemental and quiet listening style, CST can evolve into a deeply integrating practice, where our whole being comes into play.

This integrating process allows clients to ground deeply within themselves, and to be no longer defined by their symptoms.

Underlying this liberating approach, is the clinical observation that some of our key healing experiences occur when we stop trying to fix or change things, and we are simply listened to and accepted for who we are. And through that acceptance, our deeper life story can express itself.

Integrating These Three:
It is the fluent integration of these three complimentary approaches to healing, during a course of treatments, which makes Cranio-Sacral therapy one of the most effective therapies available to you today.

History:
CST (Cranio-Sacral Therapy) derives its name from the Cranium (bones of the skull) and Sacrum, which are the triangular shaped bones at the base of the spine.

The Cranio-Sacral system is all of the bones, fluids, brain, spinal column, nerves, membranes etc. within the cranium and going on down through the spine of our body. This makes it the core physiological control centre of the body, and working therapeutically through it, gives us access to all of our body's functions.

Early Development:
Cranio-Sacral therapy has evolved from a rich remedial healing tradition going back to the early part of the 20th century. Its early discoverers were osteopaths, who with their sensitive palpative skills, noticed rhythms and phenomena within the bodies of their clients, which were not known to or not fully accounted for, by conventional teachings at the time.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a healing style which aims to release the deeply held patterns of dis-ease (both physical and psychological) which accumulate throughout our life as a result of injury and illness, patterns which can lead to ill-health and dysfunction.

The classical Cranio-Sacral process involves two key objectives: Firstly, enhancing our underlying vitality which pervades our whole selves, creating and maintaining health and wellbeing in all aspects of our lives. And secondly, it is concerned with releasing any restrictions to the free distribution of this vitality throughout the body.

Bio-Dynamic CST:
Later clinical experience and studies have led to the development of the Cranio-Sacral Biodynamic approach to this therapy.

This deep listening, almost meditative style of working, reflects a broader understanding of the foundations of our human nature. And it acknowledges that we are intricate expressions of the wholeness of life, and of the vast forces at work in our universe.

Embodied Spirit:
The work at this level of being is transpersonal, and here the only intention is to listen and follow whatever unfolds during a session.

To work with the Spirit is to work from a place of stillness. Deepening into stillness, there is no need for the practitioner to interfere: to hear deeply is to heal. If we can get in touch, without interfering, with our deepest level of being, the human system remembers its blueprint and can find its own way back to ease.

Any suggestion of how another’s being should be, is a limitation to the expression of that being.
