Relaxation is necessary for deep healing, in the body, emotions, and mind. Our bodies are wired to function in two main ways: to be alert, focused, and ready for action, or to be restful, digestive, expansive and creative. Sadly, we have created a human reality that requires an extreme level of alert, stressful focus, simply to survive day to day. This is unnatural. The only real surrender for many people’s bodies and minds is sleep. While awake, if life is all go, go, go, go, go….this is not a picture of well-being, and pain and illness in some form or another is the predictable result.

Well, hopefully your life is not so extreme, at least some of the time. So, how do you value your “downtime”? What do you turn to for relaxation? Do you experience real relaxation that accesses the depth of your nervous system’s capacity to be well? Do you know what this can feel like?

Chances are that for years–even since childhood perhaps–your nervous system has never had the opportunity to fully let down and relax while you are conscious. These blockages to relaxation become lodged in the body structurally and chemically, especially in the Brain and entire Central Nervous System.

CranioSacral Therapy reminds your body and mind how to access these places of deep restoration again. While held in this space of restoration, your body can also let go of whatever it needs to release, in its chemistry and structure, to rebalance as nature intends. This letting go is beyond the intellectual limitations of understanding. It is the pure intelligence of life realigning with wellness. 

The brain and nervous system is entwined with self-perception, perception of the world, and the ability to relate beyond ourselves in meaningful ways. Time and time again, CranioSacral Therapy shows me that life is beautiful and that we all live in a beautiful world. We all have the capacity to experience the full beauty of life. To me, experiencing this beauty is what is most important in life and this beauty is within every cell of the body waiting to be realized.
