Craniosacral Therapy focuses on releasing restrictions around the deepest layers of connective tissue that surround the central nervous system, allowing for a fuller and more balanced Craniosacral Rhytmm. This rhythm is the product of the wave-like fluctuation of cerebrospinal fluid within the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. The rhythm can be felt in the micro-movements of the 22 bones of the cranium (the skull, face and mouth), the sacrum (the tailbone), and the resulting tide that radiates through the body and beyond.
Distinguished American osteopath and visionary William Garner Sutherland came across an ancient way of working with the human head and body based on this rhythm, which he termed the Primary Respiratory Mechanism, Breath of Life or Craniosacral Rhythm. He began using this rhythm to enhance body functioning and alleviate pain and discomfort in his patients. He discovered that this vital rhythm influences the development and performance of the brain, spinal cord and the energetic centers known as chakras, and that an imbalance or restriction in its fluctuation could potentially cause sensory, motor, neurological, or energetic disabilities. These problems could include chronic pain, eye difficulties, scoliosis, motor-coordination impairments, learning disabilities, mental illnesses and other health challenges.
Lucien's Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle method that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate negatives effects of stress on your body. You also benefit from improved overall health, resistance to disease, and energetic balance. For a Craniosacral Therapy session, it is recommended to dress in light, loose confortable clothes that allow for easy breathing and circulation. Using a light and gentle touch, Lucien monitors the craniosacral rhythm to detect potential restrictions and imbalances in different listening stations of the body around the head, spine and waist. He then uses delicate manual techniques to release problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord. Lucien's Craniosacral Therapy can be performed alone or in conjuction with other therapies such as in his Life Integration Series®.
