Biodynamic craniosacral is a meditation of embodiment. Its undeniable healing capacity is interwoven with coming home to peace within ourselves. This meditation, facilitated and supported by feather-like touch, is a space for physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, or in other words – whole human well being.
Biodynamic craniosacral is an approach that perceives the human organism as a wondrous, sublimely intelligent, dynamic, living creation, unfolding and becoming before our eyes.
This appreciative honoring gaze seems to “give permission” to the body to express itself more fully and freely, thus continuing or completing processes that were maybe shut down, distorted or suppressed, and expressing more wholeness, inclusion, new experiences, connectedness and communication.
Every meeting between two beings can be a conscious co-creation of a sacred space for healing, awakening to deeper awareness and expansion of consciousness. A meeting in the relational field of biodynamic craniosacral is just that. In the relational field there is a shared living experience. What each being brings to this experience creates a singular unique event, which, in my humble experience, affects not just the two human beings in that room, but reaches far beyond it.
There is a recognition of independence, inner wisdom and health, responsibility and self love when coming to this unique relational field, as it is a space in which one’s own inner healer is recognized and awakened, and one’s own journey to balance and well being is being honored, uninterruptedly.
In biodynamic craniosacral we come to meet the stillness within us. We come to meet our beingness. We come to touch, sense, feel, acknowledge the experience of being alive in physical form. We come to deepen and expand our body awareness, and discover and appreciate the magnificence of this energy-form, its freedom and fluidity as much as its structure.
We come to re-member, re-turn to the experience of being a member of a whole, a collective, one breath of Life. There by, remembering we are never alone.
We come to unchain stories and patterns that are deeply embedded in our body, which shape our perceptions, sensations and feelings of limitation. We come to open a door to a new perception. We practice becoming. We practice being ok and curious in not knowing, opening doors to the vast unknown with its new possibilities within us.
In the expression of stillness, which biodynamic craniosacral greatly appreciates and facilitates, the body awakens to new balance and ease, from a cellular level to a whole body level. Communication paths that were blocked are re-opened, new pathways are created, and an experience of more coherency in the body becomes available. The self re-ordering, ever-changing nature of the body means endless ways to better well-being, if we only trust it. That is exactly what this practice offers – a trusting touch that allows our body to do its own magic.
In person sessions with women
When we choose to come to a biodynamic craniosacral session we choose to trust our own body, our life force, the breath-of-life, and to let them express what wishes to be expressed through the body. By letting go of expectation for a specific outcome we free our system to naturally prioritize and choose new manifestations of well-being.
Biodynamic Craniosacral doesn’t diagnose disease nor does it focus on symptoms. It perceives the body as a whole living continuum. It trusts and witnesses the body’s inherent transformational wisdom and powers, and does not interfere with its rhythm and process.
A session is about an hour long, during which you are fully clothed and lying comfortably on a massage table. (If you have any restrictions and prefer sitting or any other comfortable posture, that’s also possible). During this time I place my hands very lightly, not pressing or moving, on different areas in the body, listening and being present with what the body chooses to process and express. Usually hands-on time lasts less than a whole hour and is guided by the body’s process and sense of completion. Number and frequency of sessions is individual and is agreed on together as we proceed.
During a session a big array of experiences can be had, such as tingling, heaviness and lightness, flow, deep stillness, temperature changes, seeing images and colors, having emotions and new understandings. Some of these experiences can be extremely pleasant and exciting, others can be challenging and take some intention and focus to move through with softness and ease. It may also take a few sessions before anything of this sort is felt at all. This doesn’t mean that ‘nothing happens’…
Change may be felt after a few days, a few sessions, and sometimes change is felt immediately. Sometimes it happens on a deep unconscious level and it may take time for awareness to notice and sense it. Everybody is different and has their own unique process.
These processes are non-linear, they reverberate through time-space in mysterious ways…
Distance sessions on-line
Health is here, always. Our inner vibrant living ground can be found and cultivated at any moment. Our rivers of life energy can be found and empowered to flow vigorously in our bodies, our hearts and our minds.
The biodynamic relational field vibrates this knowing, and provides deep support for our inner stillness and wisdom to expand and shine through.
In distance sessions the relational field is energetically created and maintained with neutral presence of sensitive awareness. In this field I am present with the body’s subtle expressions of health, of breath, of life. In this field your body, your energy, are free to express with no interruption, finding the best choices and ways to be. Together with your awareness, this can be powerful support for healing and transforming.
Similarly to hands-on sessions, there may be resources and practices that come up as available support for this time. It is always your choice how and how much you expand and deepen your process.
Sessions are held over skype. They are about an hour long.
These sessions are open to women, babies and children, following a conversation with me.
In person sessions with newborns
From the moment of conception, throughout pregnancy and childhood, we embody forces of great fluidity and intense growth and change. These forces of life and healing are extremely present and available in small babies (as well as in adult bodies, in a different capacity).
Babies are great teachers of transformation and balance, and when we meet them in the biodynamic relational field we offer them this recognition of their own powers.
Biodynamic touch is offered to babies as support – for processing experiences from pregnancy and birth, for experiencing more safety and ease, for maturing the young systems of the body, and much more.
It is known to bring relief to babies with difficulties feeding, digesting, sleeping, developing motor and communication skills, while promoting their well-being as a whole. It does so with the most gentle, light and respectful contact, holding space for their system to reorganize itself in better ways.
Supporting a growing family
Biodynamic touch also supports the sacred bond of mother and baby in their continuing synergistic relationship beyond pregnancy.
I highly recommend a shared process for mothers and babies. It is held by contacting both together while the baby is feeding, sleeping, enjoying being with his/her mother. It can also be done by having a few sessions with the mother and the baby separately – an option that allows more comprehensive support for mothers after giving birth. I also encourage both parents to be present in their baby’s session, as being a part of his/her process benefits the family as a whole.
I welcome babies from birth to 3-4 months old. It’s an absolute honor to meet them in this special way. I would love every human being to receive this welcoming gift of biodynamic touch when arriving in this world.
