I love CST because it is truly holistic. Our bodies are the physical expression of all levels of our being. What we feel, think and do all affect and are affected by our physical bodies. Craniosacral therapy is a way of listening deeply to the body, and via the body to the whole person. Craniosacral listening initiates a conversation between the practitioner and the client, sometimes in words, sometimes at the non-verbal level of hands and hearts. With CST we create a safe relational field as we listen to the nervous system, supporting it coming into greater regulation, and dropping into a space of deeper inner peacefulness, where the body’s innate healing capacity is resourced. In this space, magic can happen. Relaxation happens, releases occur and balance and alignment can be restored. We may leave the couch feeling more grounded and more present and at ease within our bodies and ourselves.
Hippocrates
Each session is unique, guided by the client’s system and what it expresses on the day. Many things can happen during a CST session, but because it is led by the body, the experience remains within the client’s capacity to process. While it may be transformative, ultimately the process is about regaining wholeness and health, not transformation. Sometimes the most powerful sessions can be the ones in which nothing seems to happen.
