A Biodynamic Craniosacral session can feel like a restorative nap, a deep rest and reset, like being washed in clarifying awareness that releases contractions and habits. It is kind of like assisted meditation but you don't need to work at it. Just rest and allow.
You lie on your back or supported side lying, fully clothed, no shoes. I sit with you in kind, respectful presence and give gentle, non-invasive touch to meet your body’s fluid expressions. Our bodies all have the same human blueprint and fluid intelligence knows how to flow in our bodies. AND it is the human condition to develop and hold subconscious contractions that limit the blueprint flow. Through being witnessed, "listened to" by the knowing hands of a practitioner, in safety and without force of any kind, these contractions can ease themselves, allowing the restoration of a naturally healthy expression.
Like meditation, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a practice of reconnecting with our free, naturally flowing vitality and organic wisdom. This is a good way to support the return to balance after injury and traumatic situations, in chronic body/mind health conditions, and in our explorations of life.
Biodynamics (the movement of life) is wiser than our ideas about what's needed. By listening to life energy, we learn how our habituated thoughts, feelings and actions intersect throughout our physical bodies to shape our sense of self and condition our health. It is through the (always surprising!) unwinding that we get to know ourselves in this life. Each of us really is a mystery unfolding!
Biodynamics supports us as we grow, learn, heal and thrive, and supports us in our dying as well. Our bodies already know how to do all of it. While we’re living, we can be fully alive, and while we’re dying, we can trust and be carried. As with any contemplative practice, we can keep polishing our capacity to experience life force wisdom within us, witnessing, recognizing and allowing; the unconditional trust of non-doing. This practice helps us to be a good honest friend to ourselves, our relations and the whole world.
