Cranio-sacral Therapy is a hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the Central Nervous system. It includes a realigning of structural imbalances, opening of physical or energetic blockages, and increasing energy flow along the spinal column to the brain, while assisting the body's natural healing mechanisms to eliminate the effects of stress on the Central Nervous System. It is a gentle, light-touch technique, especially suited for allowing the body to self-correct as it works with the subtle rhythms of the body, and their related movement. It addresses both acute injuries, or more chronic habitual patterns of misalignment. The Cranio-Sacral system provides the physical environment in which the brain and spinal cord develop and function.

There is a subtle yet profound rhythm which harmonizes all movement within the skeletal structure, including the muscles, Central Nervous System, and flow of spinal fluid. This is akin to the rhythm of the tides, the continual movement of fluids which are in harmony with the forces of gravity. The cranio-sacral rhythm is one of many rhythms hosted by the body which join to harmonize and create the symphony we call Life. When these rhythms are out of balance within themselves this means they are out of balance between each other as well. This creates a disharmonious environment within the body and puts undue stress on the Central Nervous System. This stress ages us, and permits environments for further disease processes to begin in our body. By keeping the cranio-sacral rhythm in balance we are strengthening our resistance to disease, and supporting the function of the Immune System.

This rhythm is a pulse which flows through all Life Forms and describes the character of each individual. It is like a story being told about that Being which holds the memory and records of all that has become part of the Beings life experience, growth, and development. This cranio-sacral rhythm is the backdrop to our evolution. It is present in the most microscopic microbes, all plant life, all animal life, insects, the waters of the Earth, the orbits of the planets, the pulse of the Universe and beyond, even in the circulation of water through the intricate patterns of a snowflake. It is what unites us all while simultaneously describing every detail of us.

The cranio-sacral rhythm has a simple basic feel to it which reminds us what it feels like to be centered within. It heals by releasing all that causes disharmony, thereby returning us to the deep inner experience of stillness which transcends all external activity and influences. This is called the Still Point, and it is home when you reach it. It brings the whole system to a point of release and relief where healing takes place.

The path of cranio-sacral is continually seeking this Still Point, this deep inner purification and harmonizing of our rhythm by releasing stress from our natural patterns of balance.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is found to be effective with:
Influencing the functioning of the Central Nervous system.
As a preventive health measure in bolstering resistance to disease.
Realignment of the structural skeletal system.
In acute or chronic neck and back pain.
For headaches.
Increasing circulation of cerebral spinal fluid and oxygen to the brain.
Jaw alignment.
Tissue adhering.
Fatigue & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Insomnia.
Poor digestion.
Provides a condition for the Nervous System to rest and rejuvenate by reducing stress.
