3 Minute meditation.

This is our first meditation on the web--click play button on box below to start it. This short meditation is inviting you to share the same mindfulness tools a Craniosacral Therapist uses within a session to create an open, spacious, calming connection with their client---that you can use on your own.

You will be invited to lie down preferably with a cushion under your knees.

Or you can find a comfortable supported seated position with some support under your lower back. This option is nice as it can be done at work location, subtly and powerfully returning you into your body.

Both in seated or lying down position it's nice let your eyes close. Lastly please ignore the slight siren in the background at the very end. Please press play.





You will be invited to find your
  • Breath
  • How it extends in 3 dimension throughout your chest
  • The rest of your body
  • Your connection to the ground
  • To the stillness within your mind.
  • Lastly you will be invited to extend your still awareness into your room
  • and then out to the sky, horizon, rivers around the city, and out to nature.
Thank yourself for giving your mind and nervous system a break. And if you find it doesn't quite do the trick, just imagine what a 75 minute Craniosacral Session can do to help.

Take care,
Joshua

You are invited to take:
"The Craniosacral Therapy approach to
silence and the unspeakable."


The silence of a Craniosacral Session comes to Traditional Talk Therapy.










There is a lot we hold deep within ourselves that somehow remains unknown, unspeakable, or simply covered over by our habitual inner noise. This is a wonderful half-day classfor any traditional Therapist, Craniosacral Therapist or anyone in thehealing arts wanting to settle more deeply into what can come up.


between two people in a healing dynamic. The goal is to share
(non-physically) a very subtle bodywork approach of attunement with
professionals who don't necessarily have body contact during their
sessions. The benefit of this approach is to open a window of contact
within yourself and your clients allowing for resolution of inner
material that is difficult to address by just trying to talk about it.

  1. Explore the unconscious energy that we bring to our sessions and how we can choose to inhabit our own body as place to settle our awareness.

  2. See through visual presentation the slow rhythmic movement within our fluid body--the 50 second expansion and 50 second return cycle Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapists and Cranial Osteopaths call the long tide. When this inner rhythm settles to stillness we have an opportunity to naturally uncouple from trauma's and inner charges.

  3. Feel the fluidity of the long tide within your own body as a way to spaciously connect to ourselves, our clients and out to nature.

  4. Hear how the Biodynamic approach to Craniosacral Therapy includes awareness of what we carry from our childhood, infancy, birth and even in-utero experiences. Some of the experiences that we carry, we don't have words or palpable memories for. However, they often powerfully shape our inner landscape and life choices. In spacious and connected stillness we have a chance to become aware of and uncouple from these patterns.

  5. Participate and witness modeling of this approach in practice sessions.
