The Craniosacral system-cerebrospinal fluid created within the brain circulates around the brain and spinal cord inside the dura mater- a tough container made of fascia

The experience: You will lie face up, clothed on the massage table. I will start at your feet and place hands lightly to perceive the rhythm of your cerebrospinal fulid, it is akin to locating the pulse on the wrist. Bilateral hand placements at thighs, hips, ribcage and head may be necessary to locate the structural and energetic blocakages within your system- to me these blockages feel like eddies, a repetitive pattern, a spin. In craniosacral therapy, my job is to listen deeply with my hands to your system for patterns that repeat. I will not unwind or push, I will simply hold the eddy still- offering up to your system an alternative, a reminder that you can let this go. Emotional releases may occur with this experience and deeply held feelings can be expressed. There is a deep trust on my part of your system, your body will show me what needs to be addressed. It will not be more than you are resourced to handle- this is physically gentle, but very deep work.

The Experience: You will lie face up, clothed on the table. This modality is about boundaries, so rather than blending with your system, touch will have a very clear beginning and end, it will feel focused and specific. Your first experinec on the table will be a seated evaluation of your sacrum and shoulder girdle. Then lying down, gentle traction from the feet begins the alignment of your energy up to the top of your head. I will then address the sacrum, hips, ribcage, cranium, arms through traction and intentional touch aimed through the muscle to the bone. The experience induces altered states of consciousness, theta brainwave, and a feeling of being deeply held as our bones rarely if ever get attended to. Upon stepping off the table you may feel taller, your boundaries clearer. If our brain and spinal cord is our antennae connecting heaven and earth, the quality of our consciousness is impacted by our structural alignment. Our highest self can be expressed through aligned verticality- not unlike yoga whose aim is union on the spiritual level and keeping the spine flexible on the physical level.
