Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

What is Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy?

 

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle therapeutic touch. It is a profound, non-invasive approach that treats the whole body. The treatment is focused primarily on helping to slow down the Nervous System. There is therapeutic value in helping to slow down the NS and becoming "still" in one's Body and Mind. It is the NS that is giving and receiving information for all of the body's functioning.

In essence, BCST recognizes the embryological forces still at work in the adult including personal and ancestral history. It speaks to the whole being including mind, body and spiritual dimensions. In a healthy body, this fundamental Life force flows with ease but if the health is compromised which include daily stresses that are left unattended, then the balanced rhythms become disturbed and this can eventually lead to pain, illness, injury or diminished health."Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a deep and gentle approach that quiets the Mind, relaxes the Body, settles the Nervous System and Opens the Heart" Michael Shea, B.A., M.A., PHD.

How does BCST work?

​

Our bodies are made up of 99% water molecules. Every drop of water is connected with each other. Biodynamic Craniosacral Practitioners work with this living water as one body of fluid, like an Ocean.The Biodynamic approach is more patient-led as the practitioner attunes to the health in the client and follows the body's intelligence. This innate intelligence is already present since the early embryonic stages of development. Initially, the practitioner focuses on his or her own body so that the client's nervous system can learn to slow down through the therapist's. It is subtle and yet profound. The practitioner has cultivated a skill of attention through their light touch that notices subtleties such as non-normal shapes and temperature variations in the whole fluid body. This quality of presence and subtle attention brings forward health.
