The “Law of Attraction” in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Dropping into stillness and trusting in the wisdom and nature of the human condition are foundation principles in biodynamic craniosacral therapy (BCST). They become like a daily meditation for the BCST practitioner who welcomes the role of embodying stillness and trusting in the original health that grows and shapes our bodies in utero. It is a fundamental part of the facilitation taken up by the practitioner, not only for the purpose of being present and tuning into the client, but also because of the immense value of what the law of attraction can provide in a session.
When the practitioner is practicing a state of balanced awareness during a session and has confidence in the wisdom and nature of the human condition, the client’s whole system is greeted and honoured in a way that is similar to that of a Namaste: “The divine light in me bows to the divine light in you”.
An inner stillness within the practitioner along with faith in the intrinsic health of the client work together like an axis merging with the vastness of the universe and groundedness of the earth. This state of centeredness and compassionate neutrality imbues a sense of calm, warmth, and safety while also acknowledging the wholeness of the client. So much so, that it inspires the original health, also known as potency, within the client to awaken, initiate, and participate in its own process of healing as it begins to communicate with the whole body via the fluids and connective tissues.
This also contributes to the nervous system renewing a healthy baseline, which not only supports all the internal systems of the body to collaborate in seeking a state of homeostasis, but also results in deeply resourcing the client in maintaining good health.
Like bees to honey, when the BCST practitioner is immersed in a state of stillness and connects with the body’s intelligence, trusting it wholeheartedly, a magnetism is created which attracts health. And so potency emerges and gravitates to where the body is calling for support.
This meditative state is very much a loving receptive environment, free of agenda and free of judgement, where patterns of disturbance can begin to dissolve, where inertia can regain freedom of movement and where the internal landscape of the body can reorganize, all of which take part in creating a conscious relationship of self love and self care.
