Craniosacral Therapy – Concentration SP322CS

Craniosacral Therapy Concentration – The Gateway to Deeper Organizing Forces: Augmentation and the 3 Bodies SP322CS (60 hours, 5.0 units)

In the Concentration students learn additional clinical skills. The work from the previous seminar is continued as students explore further ways of relating to inertia and conditional forces. The concept of the state of balance as a gateway to deeper embryological organizing forces of the Long Tide and to the Dynamic Stillness is explored. Students are also introduced to the “three bodies” (the physical, fluid and tidal bodies) as perceptual gateways to the holistic shift and primary respiration via experiential exercises. Various clinical approaches to fluids and tissues are taught as skills that resonate with and augment naturally occurring processes and organizing forces. As this process deepens, students learn to offer options within the natural pacing of healing processes and to help the system manifest its innate potential for health. These skills include the augmentation of space within the forces and conditions present, and fluid augmentation skills such as amplification of fluid drive and the use of lateral fluctuations in clinical process. Additional attention is also placed on the therapeutic role of deepening states of balance and stillpoints. Students explore the nature of inhalation and exhalation oriented stillpoints. Trauma skills based on the work of Dr. Peter Levine are also introduced.
