CST Healing Upledger CranioSacral Therapy

🧠 What is CranioSacral Therapy?

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a hands-on therapy, where the touch is gentle, non-invasive and usually subtle. But do not be fooled! It is also a powerful treatment approach that affects the central nervous system to assist in improving function in the whole body.

We are aiming to treat the craniosacral system. This is the term Dr Upledger originally coined to describe the structures that produce and enable a rhythm he observed while assisting in a spinal surgery. (He was trying to hold a structure called the dural tube still while a colleague operated, but he couldn’t as it was moving all by itself!

He eventually called this rhythm the craniosacral rhythm and saw it as being created within the craniosacral system: structures that enable this are the meningeal membranes that surround and support the brain and spinal cord, the bones of the head to which they attach and the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain – beautifully illustrated in the image here.

Ideally, this fascia and structures are all well aligned, the fluid can flow round the brain and spinal cord easily and the rest of the body is not having any less-than-optimal impact on this system (the fascia and nerves affect this system as much as they influence the rest of the body) but, life happens, from in utero onwards, and this system may not be as well aligned and flowing as it could be.

Lest we forget …

… how Light and Darkness co-exist everywhere. By seeking the Light we move through the depths of Darkness and in those depths, we can recognize Light.

… that the Divine Supreme Creator Being is benevolent to all of us Children of the Universe and the gift of Freedom, of Free Will or Choice, which we received becomes our greatest challenge too.
… that we shall grow up …

May 2023 bring back some humane sense and reason to the minds of politicians and military leaders on both sides of the burning division lines.

I support this declaration that is published on https://tcih.org/



It states:. We appreciate the benefits of conventional / biomedicine. At the same time, we recognise its limitations including:

The insufficient therapeutic options that conventional medicine provides, especially for chronic / Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)
Frequent side effects of biomedical treatments and rising antimicrobial resistance
Fragmentation of care from increased specialisation and the limits of a disease-based model

Healing after trauma can feel like this. Looking at yourself in a broken mirror, fitting the fragmented pieces of yourself together.
With gratitude and appreciation to ..FEK.. in Brighton, where I've seen this graffiti while assisting on a CranioSacral training course of the Upledger Institute UK.
Imagine here also the face of a hurt child, a middle aged man or an elderly person; a policeman a paramedic ....

Somato Emotional Recall and Release (SER) in CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a process oriented therapy.
What do we mean by this?

Somato Emotional Release with Therapeutic Imagery and Dialogue is a deep personal experience, which in some cases accompany the structural - fascia - releases (of CST).

It often begins with a spontaneous or facilitated recall of past events held in deeper parts of one’s non-conscious memory.

Did you know that many Covid-19 patients may develop Dysautonomia after they contract the virus?
 
The Dysautonomia Project (TDP - a non-profit group) advocates that CranioSacral Therapy/Manual Therapy is one of the top 10 non-pharmacological treatments for this disorder.
 
Dysautonomia is an umbrella term used to describe several different medical conditions that cause a malfunction of the Autonomic Nervous System. The Autonomic Nervous System controls the "automatic" functions of the body that we do not consciously think about, such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, dilation and constriction of the pupils of the eye, kidney function, and temperature control. People living with various forms of dysautonomia have trouble regulating these systems, which can result in lightheadedness, fainting, unstable blood pressure, abnormal heart rates, malnutrition, and in severe cases, death.
 
Our work is so important, and the word is spreading about how beneficial CST is!
