This is an old post but there’s some really great information.
Also, a little look into my home life and why I love what I do!!!!!
It’s Well-Being Wednesday!!
I haven’t done one of these in a while so I thought I’d take a moment to share a personal experience with everyone. The photo below was taken last night. The little guy is my son and I’m performing an impromptu CranioSacral session on him. Why? Because he approached me and stated he had a ‘headache’. He’s usually pretty in tune and knows what he needs when he’s feeling ‘off’ but when in doubt he knows mom will just ‘know’ how to make it better. Sometimes I will muscle test but last night I let intuition be my guide. He doesn’t know what CranioSacral therapy is so there were no preconceived notions as to what he should, could, or would experience. I simply told him to lie down on the couch face up, close his eyes, and not wiggle too much. The next 5 minutes was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had as a therapist. My only wish was that my husband who was a witness to everything had recorded a video. My son’s dialog of his experience was priceless.
- [ ] In the interest of keeping this post from getting too long I will share some quick information for those of you unfamiliar with CranioSacral therapy. We tend to store unprocessed trauma (physical, mental, emotional) as an energy build up in various locations around our body. In the case of an injury (physical) it’s typically at the site of said injury and manifests as chronic aches and pains. Mental/emotional trauma tends to be stored where we are the weakest or more generally along the spinal column (our support system) or cranium (thought center). CranioSacral therapy is a very gentle touch along the spinal column and cranial bones which allows the body to process and release the energy and move back into a state of balance.
So back to my son. There can be several reasons for headaches, both acute and chronic. Again, I let intuition be my guide this time. Knowing that CranioSacral wouldn’t make things any worse for him it was a good place to start. It did work. He got a little fidgety and required some coaching to relax but ultimately stated not only did his headache go away but that he felt “really relaxed” when I was done. He is the youngest person I have performed this therapy on and I can now understand why my instructor shared with us that everyone can benefit from it right from birth.
If you are interested in a session of CranioSacral therapy or would like more information please feel free to message me.
