CRANIOSACRAL - FASCIA THERAPY

Through our work with connective tissue we manage to find and dissolve blockages in the body so that all fluids, nerve impulses, meridian flows and all other functions in the body can work optimally again.

We ensure that cranial bones, vertebrae and sacrum find their correct place so that the brain and spinal cord can give the body optimal guidance again for the optimal functioning of the rest of the body.

When psychological or emotional problems negatively affect the functioning of the mind or body, we can find them, possibly discuss them and find a solution to these problems together with the client. This does not always have to be a “digging into the past”, sometimes it is enough to recognize trauma as an energy that has entered the body and can therefore simply be lifted out.

Perhaps the most important task in this work that we can offer is the tremendous peace and clarity that will arise when we bring a client into contact with their own pure energy.

In the center of the brain there is a “pump” that produces C-S fluid non-stop. This fluid is pressed through the brain and spinal cord and provides nourishment and cleansing. The pressure expands the movable plates of the skull, pushes vertebrae apart (so that intervertebral discs can relax for a moment) and pushes the sacrum downwards (if the sacrum is stuck, the lower vertebrae are pushed sideways which causes the intervertebral discs to tear = hernia). When the pressure becomes high, a “sprinkler system” opens and the excess used C-S fluid disappears back into the blood. Therefore we call it a semi-open hydraulic system.

Remember that the brain function consumes 80% of all our energy production. A miracle: During the day this system stops spontaneously. During these stops we dream or we take a nap (regeneration). When it gets dark, the epyphysis begins to prepare our body for sleep. When we go to sleep, the CS system stops. As a result, the brain function stops, so 80% of our energy is released and this flow of energy awakens the 'regeneration teams' in our body. In C-S work we imitate this system. As a practitioner we also learn to shut down our own C-S system. A simple calculation shows that so much energy is released during the treatment that the 'regeneration teams' of the client and therapist wake up. The maximum amount of energy possible is present and available during this treatment.

The techniques used are aimed at 'learning' with our body intelligence, the intellect of our cells. It is important to 're-learn' to function in a sphere of consciousness in which not thinking but pure intuitive feeling shows you the way. Listening to the Cranio Sacral rhythm and the movement language of the cells facilitates communication between the two bodies. From this foundation, the fascia release techniques and the cranial techniques are very easy to understand and perform. You learn to recognize and dissolve places where energy is blocked.

The goal is to create more and more space than is currently available so that the client can reach their maximum potential. Especially the brain is very grateful to be able to carry out its work in a larger space.

What we work with during a Cranio Sacral treatment :

- Connective tissue also called fascia. We have discovered that everything in the body, organs, muscles, bones and nerves are connected and enclosed in connective tissue. This connective tissue system forms a holistic unit, everything is connected with everything. It is a real "unified field" that you can feel as such! A good way to look at it is the comparison with the Internet, and any organ or muscle or joint that is "disconnected" from this inner web can and will cause a problem. We specialize in searching for these places and removing the problems.

- Dura Mater, Cranial Bones, Vertebrae and the Sacrum. The shell (Dura Mater) in which our brains reside is ossified on the outside. We call this ossification of the bones, the skull, and provided that these bones can move relative to each other, we have a good support here to increase the space in which our brains live. There is also an ossification around the spinal cord (the vertebrae), but these bones are loose around the Dura Mater and only in the Sacrum everything is fused together. This allows us to put vertebrae in the proper place and to dissolve the tensions in the Sacrum.

- The Cranio Sacral fluid and its rhythmic movement. The shell (Dura Mater) in which our brains live is filled with a very special fluid that even fills every space between the brain cells and supplies nutrients to these cells. This fluid is charged with "liquid electricity" (positive ions) and therefore is "the" receiver of the life force that is present everywhere. The specific formation of the openings deep in our brains where this special fluid is produced acts like an electricity turbine and in this way increases the potential in the Cranio Sacral fluid. The enormous force with which our Heart pushes the required blood to specialized brain cells helps these cells to transform the blood into Cranio Sacral fluid. This also contributes significantly to the generation of the electricity our brains need to be able to send their messages. All these factors, the propulsion by the Heart and the special turbine function within the brain ensure a maximum absorption of cosmic energy (life force) and all of this together creates a rhythmic movement that we call the Cranio Sacral rhythm.

Cranio Sacral therapy helps with :

Back pain and hernias - Arthritis - Painrelief - Whiplash - Stress and Burnout- Headaches and Migraines - Sinus problems - TMJ (jaw joint problems) - Insomnia - Fears - Heartache - Depressions - Loneliness - Lack of energy - Gastrointestinal problems -Psychological and sexual abuse - Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) - Immunity system boosting - Pre- and post-natal depression Epilepsy - M E and MS -

It is difficult to think of complaints where CS could not improve the situation. Even after years and especially also with chronic ailments, which one must learn to live with or has learned to live with. Especially with children, many complaints can improve or even disappear completely. In fact, CS evaluation could begin immediately after birth. Then even many complaints that could later arise as a result of the wonderfully beautiful, but usually (certainly for the baby) also traumatic birth process, can be prevented. Cranio Sacral work promotes inner peace, meditation

SOMATO EMOTIONAL RELEASE

Sometimes purely physical work is not enough.

If we feel a blockage that has an emotional history that has not yet been resolved, it is possible to speak directly with this 'trauma'. The cells or the organs ('the trauma') have not yet had a chance to actually express themselves 'they have to tell their story'. Questions like: 'Is there a problem, where does this problem come from, do you have something to learn from this situation?', provide insight and provide respect and space to heal the root cause of the situation.

Once the trapped emotions have been recognized and explored, the body is ready to deal with and release the 'trauma'. Somato Emotional Release (SER) is sometimes very spectacular to see and takes place in a 'timeless trance' for both client and practitioner

CHILDREN AND BABIES

When a baby passes through the birth canal, the head and whole body are quite squeezed together. This is how it should be, and it is natural for this little body to unfold itself. Unfortunately, poor preparation and rushed delivery are still very common, and the consequences are noticeable for almost every baby and to a large extent even disastrous.

Cranio in the first months or years after birth can eliminate most of the problems that otherwise manifest themselves in later life. Learning how to touch the baby is the first step, so that you make a deep inner connection. It is necessary to 'learn' this so that you do not panic when the baby cries or any other problem shows up. This is the essence of quality time and it is the best gift you can give to yourself and your baby. Especially as a working mom, your time is limited and full of stress. This program teaches you to completely relax together with your child, while doing preventive work.

Helps or prevents:

- Crying babies - Learning disabilities - Sloppy baby - ADHD (hyperkinesia) and other behavioral disorders - Scoliosis - Dyslexia - Digestive Problems

Important remark (note from Dirk van Gysel): The techniques for babies taught and applied by the PCSA (academy) and the NCSV (Dutch professional association) are only SOFT techniques, which the nature of the child indicate BY ITSELF. There is NEVER any manipulation.

Cranio Sacral Therapy is by definition a subtle technique that stimulates the SELF-HEALING
