CRANIO-SACRAL THERAPY
The treatments emphasize the energy-based principles of working with the living forces within the body to restore functioning beyond compromised states of health. Working with inherent energy and its organizing capacity directly frees life energy and helps it reorganize into more open expressions of health and well-being can influence the deeply held patterns of disease - both physical and psychological - which accumulate throughout life as a result of injury and illness and become held into the body tissues, leading to ill-health and dysfunction. Craniosacral treatments work with the core of the Human Energy System. There is a connection with the yogic chakra system, with the core of the Human Energy System; and how life energy is held within the ventricles of the brain and the cerebrospinal fluid.
This treatment can be helpful to most people and in most conditions - from minor aches and pains to severe and persistent chronic health problems.
The original principles of the cranial tradition are based in osteopathic medicine. Dr. William Garner Sutherland, the founder of cranial osteopathy, clearly described the energy-based aspects of this work. He called the primary energy impulse in the body the
Breath of Life.
