What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy is born from the practice of traditional Osteopathy. The core belief providing the framework for this practice is the knowledge that the Health in each individual is never lost, despite the ailment or challenge. Health can be accessed at any time by the individual, but at times may require the assistance of a supportive practitioner who can help share or carry the burden.

“Health…is at the core of our being and cannot be increased or decreased to a greater or lesser degree. In other words, the health in our body cannot become diseased…the health in the body actually transcends death. The health in our body is 100 percent available twenty-four hours a day from conception until death, then it transpires. It does not expire.” -James Jealous. D.O.

To effectively hold space for each client, it is important that the practitioner be relatively versed in the language of anatomy and physiology. The school of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, in particular, believes that this innate intelligence which resides in each of us is informed by universal rhythms, or “tides,” sensed within and without the body. Our growth and development as human beings at any age is also guided by the echoes of our watery beginnings as an embryo in the womb. Therefore, the term biodynamic tends to refer to the notion that each individual is a dynamic body of various systems, organized by forces within our fluids, functioning as a whole. When we can access the river of health within, often the effects of this will reverberate throughout our fluids, cells, tissues, and larger organ systems to bring relief, clarity, or whatever it is that one may need at the time.
