Writer Carol Patterson describes us as a PTSD Society. Many, if not all of us are carrying some level of PTSD in our nervous system. When our nervous system is triggered, we lose our ability to respond in present time. We, in effect, become disconnected from our empathy, our compassion, our bodies, the living earth herself.
In this BioDynamic Craniosacral class we will first address ourselves, using guided meditations and hands on practice sessions to begin to address our own trauma/PTSD wounding. This is essential if we are to provide a space of safety and sanctuary that allows our clients to feel safe enough to find their own sense of inner connection and belonging. From this place of safety we will explore ways to help our clients resource themselves and enable us to help them release their trauma wounding without recreating or creating more trauma.
In the past, some therapists and therapies advocated cathartic experience as the way to release trauma, but research has shown that it does just the opposite.
There is much research to support the BioDynamic approach of facilitating safety as the healing ground of trauma.
Although we don't focus on fixing lesions in the BioDynamic approach, many people find that pain and chronic conditions are much improved or disappear altogether.
William Garner Sutherland, the early Osteopath on whose lineage our work is based, came to believe that it is the Intelligence of Life, or as he called it, the Breath of Life that does the work, that releases the patterns of energy held in our body and not the practitioner, our role is to learn to perceive the movement of the Breath of Life and support and follow it with our awareness and attention.
So, our training is to train and practice to deepen and widen our field of perception, and also in helping the client to become more aware of this healing relationship that we in this work call "the Health"
The guided meditations and hands on work provide an opportunity for you to do your own work, allowing you to provide the safe and nurturing space your clients need in order to rest under their sympathetic activations. This allows their systems to open to the deeper healing ministrations of the Breath of Life/
It is for this reason that I keep these classes small.
It is so important that we as therapists do our own work, heal our own wounds, in order to be present and available for whatever arises in the session for our clients.
"18 hours of healing, sharing, learning, and deepening our massage therapy practices together, a room full of healers, with my greatest spiritual guide and teacher, Rose Alisandre! It was grueling and then wonderful and quite possibly the deepest healing work I've done on myself and others in 16 years. This training taught me more than I could ever put into words. It was so much more than 'continuing education'"

"I am so glad that I took the BioDynamic Craniosacral Class with Rose. It was a great and healing experience, and I'm excited to add this modality to my practice. On the last morning, we did a meditation that had me wanting to escape and turn away from going where we were being guided. I felt out of breath and anxious. I shared that this past year, I had claimed this to be my "year of healing," and a big part of that was the loss of my daughter that had me stuck for many years. Later that day I was selected to be the demo. As I was receiving from Rose, I experienced several shifts. At first, I felt the discomfort of my breath, feeling short and shallow, which had me feel a slight bit of panic. As the session continued, some involuntary deep breaths occurred followed by some voluntary deep slow breaths as that seemed to help me feel better. When Rose came to the left side of me, to my heart center, I had a profound feeling of my chest opening up wide and being able to breathe deeply without effort, as though I had broken through a wall of congestion. The difference was palpable, even after the session was over, and has continued since the training. I am so grateful for the experience and the lessons. I absolutely look forward to attending the next class."

Participants in this class report profound relaxation as well as a deep sense of grounding, connection, and belonging. They also report profound results with their clients. This is my experience with my clients as well.
I hope you are inspired to join us in the subtle, profound, cutting edge work of BioDynamic Craniosacral Therapy.
