Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy
Your Experience In The Body

CranioSacral Therapy is an extremely gentle hands-on touch therapy. The therapist sees you in your wholeness, and makes contact with your healthy essence. Through the light touch and relationships he/she listens to the priorities that are being presented by you. Then, still using the non-invasive touch, he/she identifies where and what kind of support to offer.

The intent is to bring balance, movement and ease.

Techniques are drawn from: Osteopathy and energy work.

The Science

Every cell in your body expresses a rhythmic movement, which is fundamental to life. It is called the craniosacral motion. At the core of your body the cerebrospinal fluid, which bathes and cushions the brain and spinal cord, expresses this motion as a tide-like flow, while all the bones, organs and structures follow their own particular pattern of movement. This is a very subtle movement that hands of the trained therapist are able to perceive.

How Does It Work?

In response to physical and emotional stress the body's tissue contract. Sometimes, when the shock is severe, the tissues stay contracted.

Any stresses, which are stored in the body, will restrict the body's functioning and may create problems over the years. The effect might be both physical (back pain, migraines, digestive disorders) and emotional (anxiety, depression). The therapist's hands are like a mirror and they reflect back to the body the pattern it is holding, therefore providing an opportunity to let go of the restrictive pattern and return to an easier mode of functioning.

This happens at a deep subconscious level within the body.

Working With Physical Issues

This work can be used to deal with all sort of physical ailments like: migraines, lower back pain, menstrual cramps, TMJ, irritable bowel syndrome, pulled muscles.

Working With Emotional Issues

A gentle and wonderful way to work with emotional trauma, anxiety, stress, and depression. Through the work you become more grounded, integrated and acquire inner resources.

Life-Changes

With regular sessions, clients see that their life patterns shift for the better. They are more present and grounded, and find more joy in living. These changes can be profound.

During A Session

During a session you will usually lie fully clothed on a treatment table and experience the very light touch of the therapist's hands. This is an extremely gentle touch therapy, involving no manipulation. The therapist listens through their hands to the gentle and deep rhythms of your body and engages in a delicate and subtle dialogue, which you might become aware of. You will remain comfortable and in control at all times, since your body will set the pace of work, and the therapist is just facilitating and following what the body is willing to reveal. You might find that the reason you came in for is not what changes first. It could take a few sessions to get used to what you are sensing and feeling. For this reason you may need to consider having a series of treatments to gain the full benefit of the work, and its cumulative effect.

Seize The Opportunity

CranioSacral Therapy offers you the opportunity to be in touch with a layer of the body experience not normally accessible in every day life. You might notice a sense of deep relaxation, which will generally last throughout the session. You might also experience your body as a 'teacher' leading the therapist to contracted body areas of past injuries or emotional events. With this delicate balance you might be able to begin to explore these 'held' areas and unravel your body's story, so releasing and allowing improved function of physical and emotional levels.

The Healing Power of Imagery
Unlock Your Treasure

Background

Many claim that the imagination is "unreal". On the other hand, the Hebrew mystics held imagination as very real. It is considered "realer than real".

Sources

Imagery is strongly connected to mystical sources. Practiced differently, it could turn into a New Age technique. This profound wisdom helps you tap into a source of light that is above the limitation of the physical world.

What Is It?

Close your eyes and recall a childhood memory, are you using your words, your thoughts process, or do you see an image? Before you learned how to speak your experiences were energetic, and involved the subconscious and the body.

Exploration

Language and words are used to analyze and give interpretation; Imagery is the experiential language of the senses and the body.
Imagery leads you to shed the veils, the masks, and the insecurities that keep you out of touch with your powerful self.

Transformation

"The most important thing in the world" implies wisdom master Nachman of Bratzlav "is to be willing to give up who you are for who you might become".

Imagery is not a fantasy. Imagery is a spiritual reality.

In our work you will:

  • Deconstruct negative images of yourself.

  • Exit the caves of contracted, fixed self-images.

  • Enter the rainbow of new fluid life choices.

How Is It Done?

A short imagery exercise is given. It creates a small shock which weakens your habitual wall of defense, thus initiating a movement in the direction of healing.

Imagery And The Body

Imagery is language that connects the mind, emotions, and the body. It has the potential to transform your health, based on the fact that your body has the wisdom to produce necessary physiological responses.

When turning your attention inward, you can create an image that will stimulate your body. For example, when you need mental clarity you can imagine that you exhale all that disturbs you like gray smoke dissipating in the atmosphere. You do not consciously command your body, or ask your brain to release chemical substances, yet all this happens because of your intent (clarity) and your image (action).

Mental Imagery And The Emotions

Imagery enables you to see and feel your inner truth and uncover the root of any problem. It releases negative blocks in your psyche and creates a new reality.

Change

One of the principles of Imagery is that the inner affects the outer. By imagining a change in your inner world you catalyze a change in your outer reality. Here is an exercise created by Colette Aboulker Muscat (which is a direct lineage to my teacher Dr. Catherine Shainberg):

Close your eyes and breathe out three times.
Find yourself in a cocoon, knowing how it feels to be in there and how much you can move around.
Now break the cocoon and find your way out.
Begin to stretch and with each movement emit a sound.
Sense all the different ways your body is stretching and sounding.
When you are finished, open your eyes.

Open Your Dream
Wake Up And Dream

Our night dreams are the mirror image of your awakened state. By looking at your dreams you will be able to discover things about yourself that only the dream world will be able to show you. For example, an emotion or part of yourself you avoid dealing with in waking life may appear in a dream as a hungry character who demands attention. Over time, as we work together, the images might begin to change. Your dream images are powerful truths that hold the power to stimulate a powerful shift in your waking life.

Working interactively with your dream enables you to become more fully conscious of who you are and who you might become. Thus in the future, when you pay attention to the dream it may serve important healing functions.

Interestingly, the Hebrew work for dream- chalom- shares the same Hebrew root as the word chalim, which implies healing and is closely related to the word for illness (machala).

By uncovering the language of your dream you learn about:

  • Your relationship with the world and yourself.

  • The physical and emotional challenges you are facing in your life.

  • Your authentic inner landscape that is hidden from your analytical, wake life, reality.

Morphology
What Do Your Face And Your Body Reveal?

In Hebrew the word face - PANIM- has a double meaning:a face, and the connections to the life within. The face is the means through which the invisible becomes visible, it is the link connecting the secrets of soul to the language of the body.

Morphology is a remarkable tool for diagnosis and self-knowledge. It is the study of human potential the way it manifests in the forms and shapes of face and body.

  • Identifying, connecting, and respecting other people differences.

  • Create life choices that correspond with your inherent temperament and potential

  • Learn to trust, recognize, and identify your body language.

  • Develop an instinctual response to others.

  • Develop you bodily intuition.

Good for:
Parents, artists, actors, therapists, business owners, doctors, and more….
