Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
In Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST), the practitioner is supporting a healing process that is guided by the client’s own internal systems, seeking a state of balance and ultimately a feeling of wholeness.
It is a gentle therapeutic light-touch modality rooted in a deep felt-sense listening from the practitioner, who attunes to and follows the healing priorities “mapped” out by the client’s own body’s intelligence and existing health. The practitioner welcomes this inner health, while yielding to its wisdom leading the way. The practitioner supports a gentle pace that feels safe for healing processes to emerge, unfold and integrate.
When the body feels safe, it gradually starts to engage in “dialogues” between the existing health and places of disturbance seeking a holistic relationship. In the process of body, mind and spirit reconnecting with its original health, there is a soothing rhythmic balanced interchange with the Breath of Life, a slowing down, and a reunion with dynamic stillness. Trauma imprints gradually begin to dissolve away. It is noticeably felt within the client’s system, as the body embraces the spreading of potency, like sunshine streaming into the open windows of a house, filling every room with its golden glow.
“The nature of the biodynamic touch is that it is non-imposing, without agenda, open and unpressured. This is a rare kind of touch. Often people have never been touched in this way. The kind of touch offered in biodynamic craniosacral therapy is the kind of touch that brings people back to a more original cellular touch they had when they were in utero. It takes us back to the first moments of growth before experience had changed us and created patterned behaviour.” Ged Sumner and Steve Haines “Cranial Intelligence–A Practical Guide to Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy”
I had never had a BCST session before so was not sure what to expect. Well right away, Christina’s nurturing approach made me feel completely relaxed and comfortable. During sessions, I gained clarity with challenges I was having in my life and noticed the emotional/physical pain connected to it alleviating. I also found that I would take the insights from the sessions and apply them to my life at that time.
