In Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST), a still point is a temporary pause in the rhythmic motion of the craniosacral system. This system includes the movement of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord, which practitioners believe follows a gentle, wave-like rhythm.
What Happens During a Still Point?
A still point occurs when this rhythm naturally slows down and temporarily stops. It can be induced intentionally by a practitioner or happen spontaneously during a CST session. This pause allows the body to reset, promoting deep relaxation and self-correction of imbalances.
Stillness is not merely an absence of motion but a dynamic and transformative state—a gateway to healing rather than a final destination.
Benefits of a Still Point
Craniosacral rhythms facilitates profound physiological and energetic shifts. The idea that stillness allows for transmutation aligns with the belief that the body's innate intelligence, often referred to as the Breath of Life, reorganizes and restores itself when given the right conditions.
In essence, this perspective reframes stillness as a moment of profound potential, where healing emerges not through force but through surrender to the natural rhythms of life. It’s a poetic and insightful reflection on the healing process in CST.
