Connecting with the sphenoid in a Craniosacral Therapy session is a delicate and profound opportunity to shift physical, mental, and spiritual states of being. I begin by gently touching the sphenoid and connecting to the clients anatomy, adjusting my position slightly as needed. I then lighten my pressure significantly, no greater than the weight of a dime. Deepening of breath and increase in eye movement often happen immediately and the client may experience a sense of floating and drifting. I follow the ebb and flow of the cranial wave and support unwinding. A gentle decompression upwards to the ceiling is offered without increasing pressure and, after a few moments, there is a body wide shift. A softening, a widening of areas of tension. A release of holding and gripping, allowing space to exist where there was once compression and clenching. The client finds themselves drifting even deeper into a place of deep comfort allowing an even deeper opportunity for shifts to occur.
