Craniosacral Therapy

Hellow CST Group members,

I'm a new member and I wanted to say I am enjoying reading about everyone's perspectives and ideas. I agree that CranioSacral therapy is an art and the descriptions from several of you who practice and love your work are beautiful. Thank you. I would like to say, that is it also a science and I think it is important to have a foundational understanding of that also. So for those of you out there who are new (I am) and have not yet reached the level of sensitivity and art form that others are writing about, please do not feel put off. Trust yourself. Some people are simply more sensitive, others need to work at it. If you are committed to this work your listening skills will increase in time. If your intention is to do work that is beneficial to your clients they will benefit.

I am new myself. Some days and with some clients (or willing practice persons) I feel a rhythm, other days I do not. When I do not I just trust my client's body to take what it needs and guide my hands, and most often I get positive feedback. So if I or you need to follow a 10 step protocol to build skill, that's an OK place to start. The rest will come in time and some day perhaps you will be here writing poetry as well.

CST-T and CST-D are levels of certification awarded by Upledger Institute in the Modality of CranioSacral Therapy.

I don't know what CST-T or CST-D is , but I'm a certified craniosacral therapist and an R.P.P. (registered polarity practitioner). Polarity is energy medicine..ayurvedic hands on.
I do believe Craniosacral Therapy ( and Polarity for that matter ) to be an art and I call myself a healing artist. It involves a subtle sensitivity, fluid movement , expression ,presence, spaciousness, stillness,awareness,and openness with absolutely no ego involvement. We assist the body's natural capacity for self repair / self healing using techniques such as unwinding and myofascial mobilization. I sometimes think that my "listening hands " are more like jumper cables , adding just enough energy to the body to jumpstart the self healing process. I am a neutral, empty vessel through which energy flows. I myself get healed from a session that I give. It is Divine. I think all artists work in such a fashion...can one even call it work ? I am grateful.

Ray, I am a firm believer that therapy is an art. One must learn the steps to perform, and the scale being played over and over again until it becomes natural, however, that is not art until the individual adds their love, devotion and personal feelings... then it becomes music. Massage therapy and Craniosacral therapy are much the some. Some people only learn the steps... others are able to express themselves in delivering a session to the client from which the client can heal themselves. Much Love, Devotion and self expression are needed to make the session a true statement of the Healing Art.

Ray, thank you for your contribution... I will be visiting your website.

I am an artist and CranioSacral Therapist living and working in Cape Town South Africa.
The focus of my work over the last few years has been visual studies of elements and treatment protocols in the art of CranioSacral Therapy. One of the questions that I have wished to explore has been: “Is Therapy Art?” Much has been written and said about art as therapy but little about therapy as art.
In my opinion Art and CranioSacral Therapy can be seen to share a dynamic in the potency of stillness. In the case of art, it is beauty that arises from stillness and in CranioSacral Therapy a transmutation process which arises facilitating healing and health - both can be experienced as a means of enhancement and transformation.
(An article on the subject will be published in the next edition of the Fulcrum magazine - CST journal in the UK)

Art prints and charts are available from my website : www. craniosacral-art.com – I hope that you will take time to look at the site.

Best wishes

I just learned a new aroma therapy technique facilitated by Valerieanne Giovannie of Doterra Essential Oils. check out this group: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/doterraoilers

This evening I went to an Aroma Touch Technique session that used Doterra CPTG essential oils, a fellow TBI Survivor friend went with me and was my partner.
The technique was a real eye opener for me and a natural healing release for her. I will be starting weekly CST and Aroma Touch Technique with her this Sunday.
