CST is like a traffic report for your system... 🌀🚦🌀
🚗
In CST, we are connecting with the dura mater -- a membrane that surrounds the inside of the cranium & extends over & around the spinal column & sacrum. Also called the dural tube, it's a fluid-fulled sac containing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
🚗
The structures encased in the dural tube are directly affected by one another due to the conductive nature of CSF. The movement of this fluid is why we can identify areas of tension, & also why we can experience the reciprocity of that tension in other areas of the body.
🚗
My role, as a craniosacral therapist, is like being a 🚁 traffic copter 🚁...
🚗
From my perspective, I know how a system can flow, I observe what the current pattern is, & I notice where there are holdups. What I can't know is exactly what is causing the backup -- on the road if could be an accident, a pothole, or a missed exit. In CST, that "jam" could be an illness, a birth pattern, a physical accident, or emotional trauma.
🚗
To train for this role, I first learned the foundation -- the roadways & rules of the road, so to say -- of the skeletal system, anatomy, nervous system, immune system, birth process, trauma patterns, & the production of CSF.
🚗
From there, I learned the physical language of the body as oriented to the movement of CSF, training my perception to recognize what tension & compromised patterns feel like. Through experience, I notice these patterns & share them back with clients to help map where held tension exists. The ultimate understanding of why, when, or how that pattern got there is for the client to define.
🚗
Craniosacral therapy doesn't look to change or fix anything directly. We trust that once we acknowledge exactly where there's a traffic jam, your body responds. In the same way that no one want to be stuck in traffic, once your system is consciously met, it naturally goes to work to clear its own pattern & let the tension dissolve.
