Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

Fundamental to Biodynamic Craniosacral is the belief that health is always present in the body and that it manifests more strongly and clearly when “fulcrums” (places in the body that we negotiate around) are resolved. These fulcrums dampen our experience of health and aliveness and are created by inertia that can arise as a result of many causes, such as stress, injuries, surgeries, birth trauma, repetitive stresses, feelings of overwhelm or depression, or intense grief or sadness. In other words, these inertial fulcrums are a result of living in a body that experiences the challenges of being alive … trauma, injuries, belief systems, stress, illness, etc. These can impede the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid and restrict the subtle but important movements of our brain and spinal cord, pelvis, and thorax. In a biodynamic session, we enter into a relationship with these stuck places, these inertial fulcrums, allowing the natural self-healing mechanism of our bodies to manifest and re-regulate our nervous system. This in turn can bring an easing of strain, increase our ability to recover from injuries and trauma, and create deeper relaxation and resiliency. Often this can result in feeling better psychologically and emotionally. This work can create deep relaxation, which in and of itself can create an opportunity for deeper connection to one's body, mind, heart, and spirit.
