Deep Healing for Adults and Children
What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy ?
“Biodynamic” means "wholenesss". Biodynamic CST refers to a very subtle, non-manipulative style of craniosacral therapy. Instead of releasing tissues, motion testing, and resolving "strain patterns" with mechanical intervention, the practitioner’s intention is to generate therapeutic change from within.
The emphasis in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is to help resolve the underlieing forces that govern patterns of disease and fragmentation in the body/mind by connecting to the inherent health of the client (wholeness). This entails the practitioner developing finely-tuned skills of palpation and perception to sense the body's subtle rhythms. Through the development of these skills the practitioner can read the body, and allow the natural priorities for healing be directed by the patient's "body wisdom" or what is known as "the inherent treatmnet plan".
As in other holistic therapies, the intention of practitioner is to facilitate the expression of health and to enhance the body's own self-healing and self-regulating capabilities. This is done with gentle hands-on contacts, as the practitioner encourages and supports the re-emergence of this subtle healing rhythm. Osteopathic physicians and other practitioners have demonstrated that when this movement is fully expressed, many conditions tend to improve on their own, from the inside out.
The biodynamic practitioner works with a slower rhythm called primary respiration and it based on dynamic Stillness as the function of all healing. Stressfull modern day living disconnects us from this inner stillness causing imbalances in the body/mind. The biodynamic practitioner helps reconnect the client to the original blueprint of wholeness. which is found in stillness. The blueprint of wholeness is represented by the embryo and is with us from birth to death.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy as taught by Michael Shea, PhD, is a comprehensive healing system that incorporates aspects of developmental biology, human embryology, transpersonal/depth psychology, cross cultural healing, eastern spirituality, advanced neuroscience, and manual healing arts.
