In The Treatment Room and Beyond
Establishing Comfort and Safety
When you arrive for a session we will sit and talk so that you can express your current experiences and concerns. I will guide you through a simple, brief awareness exercise to help prepare you for optimal receiving including tapping into your own inner resources.You will then lay fully clothed on a padded massage table and I will assist you in making any adjustments that will optimize your sense of safety and comfort.
Engaging in Your Healing
Once we have established a comfortable collaborative space, I will begin with a light touch at your feet, sacrum (at the base of your spine), or head and move to other areas such as a hip or shoulder guided by subtle rhythms and changes in your body. Because it is the body and your vitality within that makes the healing decisions, I may be in one place for a period of time waiting for and sitting with the deep stillness that allows the healing forces to bring you back to health.
I suggest that during the session you notice your sensations (heat, tingling, shifting, flow, etc). This awareness will enhance your process and help you recreate the healing experience outside of the session time. Feel free to share your experience, ask for adjustments, or to be in silence as seems appropriate for you.
Many people experience deep relaxation, even a meditative state during a Craniosacral session. Other experiences include memories or insights; pleasant sensations of warmth, softening, widening, floating; emotional cleansing; unusual temporary sensations of tingling, or numbness. These are all signs of release as the healing forces help your body to shift into a healthier state. As appropriate, we can verbally explore sensations or emotional issues that arise in order to facilitate your process.
After the Session
Following the session you may feel deeply relaxed but energized, breathe more deeply, feel more comfortable in your body, sleep better, have improved digestion, and other benefits. Occasionally a person reports feeling tired after a session indicating that their nervous system is finally able to let go and ask for the rest it needs. Notice over the following 2-3 days how you feel within yourself and how you are in the world. Feel free to contact me with any questions post session.
Follow Up
While noticeable results can occur in a single session, most people find that a series of sessions lends more profound, permanent effects. How many sessions you will need is determined by your presenting conditions as well as what else emerges for healing. I strongly recommend at least a series of three sessions to be re-evaluated at that time.
