What is Cranial Sacral Therapy? What is a visionary cranial sacral therapist?
Craniosacral work is a holistic healing practice, which uses extremely light finger pressure to optimize a movement pattern in the body known as the “cranial wave”. In the cranial bones, the movement of the cranial wave can be as little as 40 microns, which is less then half the thickness of a sheet of writing paper. But even with this amount of movement, the human head is so delicate, and so suffused with vital nerve pathways, that even a slight deviation of a bone’s movement or position can produce physical or psychological symptoms, and often both. To the trained practitioner, the cranial wave is a rich source of information, much like the pulse is to an acupuncturist. The intelligence of the body speaks to us through this wave. When the cranial wave motion is not optimal, we could feel low in energy, our immune system could become compromised and we run into an increased likelihood of chronic states like depression. Craniosacral work is one of the most respectful of all bodywork te
