What is BCST? BCST is a subtle hands-on therapeutic modality that benefits structural alignment, strain patterns, trauma, birth complications, stress, organ function and more. With different holds, the practitioner ‘listens in’ to one’s system orienting to a wide perceptual field. It is a very spacious contact so that the body can express old and protected patterning. The patient experiences a deeply restorative state while tracking and acknowledging sensations. Subtle internal adjustments are the big features of this work. They may feel the bones and tissues shifting, fluid-like movements, nerves firing or buzzing, temperature fluctuations, blood pulsing and a stillness in the expanse of glittering space. A naturally derived ‘inherent treatment plan’ unfolds where the practitioner relates with reverent awareness to specific anatomical structures and physiological processes. The unwinding of patterns allows vitality and health to return and strengthen. There are five features in CST work that were recognized by early osteopathic pioneers. 1) Mobility of the cranial bones (in relation to each other) 2) Motility of the spinal cord (in relation to itself) 3) Reciprocal tension of membranes around the brain and spinal cord (membranes moving with biotensegrity) 4) Fluctuation of cerebral spinal fluid within the brain and spine (the potency of tides) 5) involuntary movement of the sacrum between the ilia (resonating with the movements of the cranial bones)

The Biodynamic CST approach gives the body’s own intelligence an opportunity to be supported into healing processes that are often inaccessible through routine protocols of manual therapy. The practitioner’s hands are not too heavy, like touching a cork bobbing in the water, without it submerging, and still allowing the natural movements to occur. The patient’s system is like the tides of the ocean; the whole body is expanding and contracting in a tidal way. Every cell is inhaling and exhaling, we call this Primary Respiration. On the surface is seaweed moving and entwining everything like the fascia of connective tissue. Dropping into slower rhythms of fluid states –the ‘mid tide’ is like being in deeper waters. It is where the bones, muscles and organs adjust. Deeper yet is the very slow rhythm of ‘long tide’, it is a gateway to stillness – the ocean floor. This is where the original matrix of health exists; a state of balance and a settling. The patient’s system re-emerges with renewed symmetry and greater health expressions. The client takes with them a felt-sense body awareness which becomes a resource for everyday life.

beautiful

Do you know that feeling when you wake up in the middle of the night and it’s cold and your diaper feels heavy. And there are so many strange sounds all around you, and it’s dark and scary. And you get a hit in your head and it’s your hand that’s on its own adventure. And you can’t control it at all and it flings itself around and scratches your face and pulls at your hair. And your legs start kicking off the duvet, even though you’re cold as it is and you try to make it stop but they have their own will. And so you’re lying there completely helpless with flailing limbs that want to do everything, but none of the things you want.

And you can’t find mom. And you call for her and you find yourself feeling really scared. What if your beloved mom doesn’t come for you. You can’t imagine anything worse and you start to cry because you miss her so terribly. You have never felt as alone as this very moment.

And then she is suddenly there. Standing right by your bed and looking at you with worry and love. And she is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. And you grin up at her with happiness and relief. You don’t think you’ve ever felt as happy as this very moment.

And she picks you up and holds you close. And she smells like herself, and also a bit like you. Like milk and safety and love. And it’s the best smell in the whole entire world.

And she is warm and safe and soft and her hands caress you and she feeds you and hums your favourite tune. And you love her voice. You’ve known it far longer than you’ve really known her. It has lulled you to sleep and made you laugh and calmed you when you were distressed. It is the most beautiful voice in the whole entire world.

And you get to lie right up against her and you feel your entire body start to warm up again. And your still cold hand starts stroking her and moves up towards her neck and accidentally scratches her. Stupid uncontrollable hand. But mom doesn’t get angry. She takes your stupid hand in hers and it turns all warm again. And this is the best feeling in the world. Right here in mommy’s arms, with your hand in hers. Even the diaper doesn’t feel as horrible anymore.

And you feel your eyes getting heavy and you know that everything is okay now cause mommy is here. Your mom. Your wonderful, incredible mom who always looks after you. Night and day.

You look up at her one last time before you fall asleep. She looks tired and her eyes are closed, and yet she is still the most magnificent thing you know. How amazing that she wants to sit here with you in this moment. How amazing that she will always sit with you for a bit when you need her to.

You smile to yourself. How lucky you were that she became your mom. The most perfect mom anyone could have asked for.
You knew, even before you saw her, that she would be the best thing in the world.

Oh how you love her. Your mom.
❤️

by Nita Renfrew It seems that the origins of Osteopathy, created by Andrew Taylor Still, MD DO (1828-1917) in the late nineteenth century, indeed, lie in traditional American Indian bodywork. (I use the term “American Indian” as used by AIM in the “American Indian Movement.”) We know now tha...
