CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

CST was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:

SPIRITUAL AND LIFE GUIDANCE WITH NATURAL SHAMANIC HEALING

A Shamanic Healing session encompasses many healing tools. It facilitates healing on physical, mental, and emotional levels for a client. It's important to remember that Shamanic Healing is a catalyst for healing and not a cure by itself , just as I am a facilitator for healing and not a "healer". When I give a shamanic treatment or guidance, I connect with guides, spirit helpers, and the spirit worlds on behalf of my client. I then ask for guidance that needs to be shared with my client and ask that the helping spirits work through me to assist my client. It is through this process that vital healing and guidance can be shared between a client and their helping spirits. It is also through this process that harmful energy can be removed from a client and that missing energies can be returned to a client. This creates a balanced environment within a clients body so that true healing can happen.
The healing process that results from a Shamanism can manifest in many ways. A client may simply start healing naturally as their body restores itself in balance, they may find themselves feeling calmer or more mentally clear so that they can help themselves more effectively, or they may find or see opportunities that were missed previously (such as the right physician, medication, or therapist suddenly presenting itself). The way healing manifests itself isn't important- what matters is that healing CAN happen once balance is restored to an individual.
It is also important to note that Shamanism and shamanic healing does supplement western medicine and modern medical practices. A Shamanism and shamanic healing is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment and it does not conflict with such treatment. Therefore Shamanic work, modern medicine, and psychological counseling can all work together to treat a person on all levels. Shamanic Healing and shamanism are also a spiritual, and not a religious, practice. So it can work together with almost anyone's personal belief system.

Shamanism and shamanic healing is the ancient art of healing that has been used for tens of thousands of years. The word shaman originated in Siberia. A shaman is also called a seer, medicine man or woman. Many different cultures from all around the world still practice shamanic healing. Shamanism is not a religion and people from all walks of life have become more interested in shamanic healing as a way of bringing peace and balance into their own lives.

Guided Meditation, individual or groups
In an ever increasing speed of living these days, many people are having more issues of stress complications, illness and disease/disorders. Meditation teaches how to slow ourselves down, to be aware of how our breathe can affect our state of mind and bring peace into our lives even when the world around us seems to be spinning and churning.
Guided meditations help us find our own wisdom and answers to our very personal questions. It helps us reach in prayer for help and guidance regardless of where we are in our day.
