"It's never too late to have a happy childhood!" CranioSacral Therapy is for anyone of any age who just wants to feel good again. It has been described by those who have experienced it as deeply pleasurable and comforting and expanding. It naturally and elegantly complements and combines with other forms of bodywork including chiropractic, acupuncture and massage. Learn More! Here's some more of what CranioSacral Therapy can do for al ages--beyond providing the ultimate Spa Experience!
Process orientated and subtle, it has been called the A First Resort?Before surgeries and medications are prescribed or decided upon--some few of which may possibly, possibly be invasive--modalities such as CranioSacral Therapy in combination with CraniOcean are sought out by clients and patients as a First Resort. If all else fails, the person will at least be more informed about what is going on and therefore more empowered. He or she will be in a better position to proceed with any surgery or medication programme. What will have been lost but a few hours on a relaxing massage table? Or some time in the healing waters of the Ocean? Or in the warmth of a nurturing pool? "You won't know until you Check It Out yourself...it's worth a try".
With Yoga It very gently supports and rejuvenates those who have been long on a path of spiritual growth. Good health does not select among any religion or calling and is for all. Also,Yoga practitioner's of all levels from Advanced to Beginning report that after CranioSacral Therapy they can attune with flows of "pranic" energy with greater ease and speed and enjoy enhanced breathing, greater stretch and deeper calm on the yoga mat. TMJ and Tooth Grinding Sensitive Dentists often refer James and CraniOcean, for they know there is nothing more delicious than a light and nurturing touch before and after serious dental treatments and everyone benefits. Now, there is much less pain before, and after, dental work. Now, the person is more relaxed, informed and attuned with what is going on and understands why the dental work is required. What's more, the tight muscles of the mouth and jaws can open, become less tense or restricted and the dental work can integrate with the rest of the body faster! Talk Therapy Sensitive Psychotherapists, Licensed Counselors, Medical Doctors often refer James and CraniOcean, for there are stories long held in the body, not just the mind, which can be of true help. We can do a great deal with "Talk", but when the Body is addressed, something happens: We can get to the "Walk!" Autism Rather than try and "cure" Autism, we might set about to understand it. One might begin by meeting those who suffer where they are. Most of the sufferers live in a nonverbal space. The CranioSacral practitioner must also be willing to live and respond from a nonverbal space to work effectively with the disorder. CranioSacral Therapy works with no agenda, and no agenda means, "no agenda". To force a cure on the "Autistic" is counterproductive....

Veterans and Trauma (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder--PTSD) CranioSacral Therapy alone has been clinically proven in trials to successfully treat Vietnam Veterans suffering from grief and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD). What's more it does this naturally, non-surgically, non-harmfully and without meds or any "little yellow pills." You can contact the Upledger Institute for research on video of the groundbreaking and innovative research with Vietnam Vets interviewed before, during, and after treatments. Sadly, the programme was stopped due to lack of funding. Meanwhile, the shocking statistic that more Vietnam Veterans have committed suicide than were killed in the Vietnam War! CranioSacral Therapy is as yet ignored in this arena, and CraniOcean and other safe modalities for those affected by "the hidden cost of war"virtually unknown.
"It is difficult for me to sometimes go for sessions, only because I face a lot of my demons though the session, I find out where they are dwelling in my body, but I always end up feeling much better after facing them. It sounds cliche, but my whole world has expanded and I've make Big Life Changes...James and whatever he does have made Big Changes dimensionally in my life--increased synchronous events-- and helped me to move through past traumas." Shelley Wollert Songwriter, L.A.
Complementary Medicine
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a very gentle, sensitized, and non-intrusive hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of a physiological system called, the CranioSacral System-comprised of the meningial membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. CST is a form of Complimentary Medicine. This means it does not compete with any Traditional or Alternative program and works with all as a good friend. This Facilitator works with patients of Traditional Doctors, for example, of Internal Medicine, Oncologists, Neurologists, Endocrinologists, Pediatricians, and on the other hand, with clients of Alternative Doctors, Acupuncturists, Counselors, even of Shamans, as a cooperative friend. Approaches for the 21st Century Cutting edge approaches to health and healing for the 21st Century are often discovered as a Last Resort, but it doesn't have to be this way. CranioSacral with CraniOcean or many other wonderful modalities such as Yoga, Reiki, Rolfing, Feldenkris, Alexander, and of course, good Massage Therapy, can be sought and enjoyed as a First Resort before any harsh medications and invasive procedures are executed. Most are not aware there even exists a "First Resort", after the glorious immune system falls off the job, and then a "Last Resort". Read on to learn more, for again, it doesn't have to be this way...
Experiences in the marvelous CraniOcean are described as Healing, Life Changing, and Transforming…
Journey To The Cause CranioSacral Therapy(CST), or Cranial, is a gentle hands on therapy which uses a very light touch and goes beyond the reach of traditional medicine. It uses NO AGENDA, and because of this, is more a "process fix" than a "quick fix" though quick fixes often happen. Nor is it to be mistaken for a "cure all." CST, depending on the resonance and compatibility with your practitioner, and on mutual willingness to give the process some time and allow a widening of perception, can take you on a Journey to the Cause. On this Journey, as the old Homeopaths once observed, it can sometimes feel "worse before better." James compares this journey to the feeling of slipping into a pair of new shoes. It is said that our shoes represent the ideas that a man walks in. And in this work there is a quality of expansion that can occur... CranioSacral is also proven to treat and relieve…
CranioSacral can be received while on medications. It is safe for infants and children and complimentary with any medical treatment program. It uses a very light
touch pressure and has been described by "When A Nickels Weight is Worth A Pound of Cure"
For example... Let's take another stroll beyond traditional medicine, shall we? Are you up for the challenge? This might require you to calm, and to ground yourself for a moment. This information won't hurt you.
Melting Away Tumors, Naturally, Without Surgery? CranioSacral Therapy is performed with all clothes on, unlike massage, but there are some instances where it's best to contact the skin directly, for example, in the relief and treatment of tumors, fibroids, inflammation centers, and more. This is because the clothes can form an 'insulation' barrier between the client's skin and the therapist's fingers. In the sixth Upledger Institute sponsored 'Beyond the Dura' Conference in 2008, Dr. John E. Upledger provided a way for a CranioSacral Therapist to treat tumors, and more, while contacting the skin of the client with a light, high intentioned touch. We will first look at Dr. Upledger's findings, and then bring it down to a simple view in practice. We may possibly learn, as Dr. Robert Rhondell Gibson, points out in his Science of Man 48 Lessons tapes, that a tumor is an extra organ the body grows to adapt to an overload of stress. Think about it for awhile. Extra stress? I could write a book on just this, and maybe I already have! Very few, if any, understand the nature of stress like the old man from Northern California, "Rhondell." We may also learn how to learn to treat 'tumors' with a very light touch, before or after enlisting surgery, chemo, or radiation. Surgery is fine in some cases, especially if the cancer is detected early on. Just pop or incise the thing out. Too often in our pharmaceutical driven culture we see cancer as a "barely healable illness," as Dr. Carolyn Myss points out. And what of a light touch? This means that even the fabled 'tumors' of cancer can be dismantled with a light touch. This information is as old as the hills and has been known since hands were first laid. Here, Dr. Upledger kindly describes it for us in a way that our post-post-modern brains can grasp! [It's included here also because long after chemo and radiation have "killed" tumors, more chemotherapy sessions are required, but these sessions are often for insurance purposes and do not serve the patient and/or client's greater health. -JN] Strange Word, "Tumor" And so let's visit the safe and harmless treatment of, well, these things called, 'tumors.' First of all, what is the official definition of a tumor? We all have our favorite definitions and resources, but here is one you likely have not considered, from the Old Man in Northern California: A 'tumor' is an extra organ the body grows to take care of an overload of extra stress. Think about it for awhile. All over again. Meanwhile, the Webster online dictionary definition of a tumor is kind of gruesome but basically works. A 'tumor' is, 1) a swollen or distended part, 2) an abnormal benign or malignant new growth of tissue that possesses no physiological function and arises from uncontrolled usually rapid cellular proliferation. Keep in mind as you read this that a diagnosis is the worst thing for a person's health!
So let's look at what a "tumor" is made up of, besides being an extra organ to accommodate and adapt to extra stress! Non-Invasive Dismantling of Atoms The following is from his paper, THERAPEUTIC ENERGY, by John E. Upledger, DO, OMM.
In Other Words... Okay, what we are talking about here is bare skin on bare skin, which is a little different for CranioSacral Therapy. Very often when someone has the complaint of 'tumors,' I will begin with massage therapy, rather than CranioSacral Therapy, because it gives me a change to contact the tumors, or fibroids, etc., directly, without the added barrier or insulation of the clothing. Dr. Upledger has been talking about this for awhile now, and hearing him talk about it this way makes sense. Keep in mind that there very well may be an emotional component to any tumor, and be available to engage the patient and/or client, or even, YES, the tumor itself, in any dialogue. However, even tumors can be handled with only the light, high intentioned touch, skin-to-skin. Upledger says he likes to use he three middle fingers of his hand when doing this. This Facilitator may use only the index and middle finger. It works either way. The Patient/Client Gets to Work Too! Work? Normally, we like to zone out during sessions and go to a special dream place. The good news is, we can still do that here, even in the treatment of 'tumors,' 'brain shadows,' 'inflammation centers' and so on, it's just now we do it in combination with awareness. And so another key piece of information Dr. Upledger mentions in the dissolving or dimantling of even tumors, is that it works best if the patient and/or client is also actively engaged, with full attention, in the process. When we receive CranioSacral, Massage, or even Acupuncture, we like to get dreamy. We like to doze off and drift some. This can be useful for the body can repair itself when at rest. On the other hand, when we are working on these things--and that's all they are--it's most useful to pay attention and give feedback to the therapeutic facilitator about what is going on. The Therapist's brian, shall we say, is getting the thing to break apart and go away, and at the same time, is following the patient/client's lead, for the patient/client is directing where the therapist is to go and when. It's a joint effort, and intelligence. Arthritis is 'Healable' without Medication? Recently, the Facilitator was working on a long time tennis player who had developed arthritis around her wrists. You would think that a tennis player wouldn't develop arthritis, but it can happen, especially past middle age, like with this woman. Here, we will consider her arthritis as an "osseous distortion," or a "bone" distortion. ("Osseous" means bone.) Big words, just means, sore bones. Normally, this Facilitator would use Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) to relieve and treat the arthritis, as LDT has tremendous success with rhemetoid arthritis, and it's fairly quick, one or two Lymph sessions can begin to dissolve arthritic joints throughout the whole body. With the aching pain relieved, then the session work can open to journey to the cause. Checking It Out This time, so I could check this out for myself, like Upleger, I used the three fingers of my middle hand. Using a very light touch, I placed my fingers directly on each of her wrists, one wrist at a time. Within minutes, she had increased joint mobility and couldn't feel the arthritis anymore. She was delighted, to say the least! I was surprised it was so very easy. She'd been taking aspirin to rid herself of the pain at night, but after two sessions, found she could sleep without taking the aspirin with no pain!
It's the Patient/Client's Awareness Too! Note in this story that we are using skin-on-skin contact, without the clothing as insulation. The energy will still connect through clothes, if we are sending energy from our fingers through the clothes, just not as deeply and quickly. While I was sending energy through the three middle fingers of my hand to her arthritic wrists, I was also inviting her to report to me what she was feeling and/or sensing. I invited her to do this out loud. This is an essential part of this process. For example, we first worked on her right wrist: "What are you feeling in your wrist now?" "I see a darkness." "A darkness?" I asked. She became silent. Then she said, "There's a kind of swirl in the darkness, as if it's swirling." As a Facilitator, I'm not alarmed by such imagery as 'swirling.' I see it as movement and a good thing. "Good," I said, continuing to direct energy into her wrist. We waited. "It feels disorganized," she said. To me, this is still movement, even though a movement of chaos. This to me a good form of chaos. Something is happening. I refrained from making comment, but continued to direct energy into her wrist with my three middle fingers. Then she said, "It's breaking apart." "What's breaking apart," I asked. "I don't know," she said. "The swirling." I had an image of the electrons being dismantled from the atoms that held the arthritis (the 'osseous distortion') together. And an image of the nucleons being released out of the problem area and going away. I saw it as sparks in a dark night, as if from a campfire, going out in the darkness and away from the inflammation. I recalled I had seen this a few days before when directing energy on a 'brain shadow,' or 'tumor' on another client. The sparks, or nucleons, separated away from this other client's brain. The atomic structure of the shadow was dismantled, and so the 'shadow' dismantled. If a light touch could dismantle a brain shadow, why not an arthritic wrist? "Something has shifted, " she said. "What's that?" I'd been day dreaming. "There's something else in my wrist now. It feels, it looks, organized. There's an order." My fingers soon slipped off her wrist, as if pushed away gentle by her body. She moved her wrist this way and that. "I can't feel the pain," she said. I think I breathed a sigh of relief too. We went to the left wrist.... © June, 2008, J.Nemec, LMT, CST-D
It's not all that hard to do. It needn't take all that much time. Some tumors can take moments to dissolve. This Facilitator has found it's most challenging if the tumors are caught at a late stage, rather than at an early stage. Anything is possible, provided a mutual field of interaction and willingness to be well and whole.
A Dismantling of Tumors, not a 'Killing' This is not 'killing' of tumors, etc., but a dismantling of the atomic structure, the atoms, that have held them together. Both the therapeutic facilitator and the patient/client are 'blended.' The person on the table may feel a buzzing or tingling or nothing, really, as each tumor, or even a medically scanned 'shadow,' breaks apart and disappears. Using a light touch, and the attention and intention of the patient/client, all the negative electrons and pulled away from the problem site AND THE ATOMS FALL APART. The tumor, fibrosis, polyp, etc., melts for the atoms are broken apart. The electrons have no place to go, they go out of the body and disappear. To this Facilitator, it's as if small fireworks go off as the electrons break apart from the atoms. If you are a therapist or facilitator reading this, we would emphasize to make sure the energy from your hands, fingers, get's through to their skin. The atoms can still break apart through the clothing, but why bother with the insulation? This is also a very delicate process. Remember to very respectfully ask to contact skin-on-skin. One can say, "Is it okay if I put my hand there?" And then get the energy in there. When blended, this can also be performed with the hands, fingers, off the skin, at a distance. "Journeys: Stories Our Bodies Can Tell" Although this information goes into the book following TOUCH THE OCEAN, that is, the next book entitled, JOURNEYS: STORIES OUR BODIES CAN TELL, we feel it's worthwhile to mention here. And so the next time there is a complaint of a tumor, fibroid, cyst, and so on, might it be worth a try to check this out? Don't worry, this can also be performed after surgery as part of any mop up job. Even during chemo and radiation therapy. Enjoy checking this piece out for yourself! Now, you know! Thank you.
