Touch: Healing Hands and CranioSacral Therapy (with Dolphins)

The “laying of hands” holds a special place in many traditional healing systems around the world and palpation is still used in modern medicine as a diagnostic measure often surpassing the mot advanced medical tools and software.

Coming into a place of wholeness and reintegration often takes a significant amount of energy on behalf of the individual, and facilitating that process in an accelerated way is highly valuable and desirable from the clinical and patient perspective.

“CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach to evaluating and enhancing the craniosacral system, which is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

CST is a complementary treatment that releases tensions deep in the body to help reduce pain, relieve dysfunction, and improve whole-body health and performance. By facilitating the body's natural and innate healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive healthcare measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease.” [Upledger Institute]

In reconciling the best of the old and new, the methods of craniosacral therapy examine the musculoskeletal chains in the body, using touch to sense how biorhythmic pulses are moving through the body and how to redirect these felt sensations to effect lasting change even in treatment-resistant medical cases.

The most significant element of craniosacral is how it uses the spinal anatomy to address the organs and brain, similar to chiropractic work, yet with a different intent and approach, resulting in unique outcomes at the level of psychological insight.

Dolphins come in during CST “aquatherapy” sessions, where individuals are suspended with floaties in open water a few feet deep, supported by another person at the head, and then dolphins come right up to individuals’ heads and start beaming sonic frequencies underwater to the person from a few inches away. From all accounts it’s enjoyable beyond belief. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Humans have always held a special, at times mythical connection to dolphins and whales. The curiosity, awareness, and songs of these creatures speaks to the core of what it is to be here, something that transcends humanity itself and yet unites us with a greater field of consciousness that asks the rational mind to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Regenerative medicine is recognizing how to use various electromagnetic frequencies of light (LLLT/Infrared), sound (Ultrasound/Solfeggio), electricity (TENS/Electro-Acupuncture) and magnetism (PEMF/tDCS) to accelerate the healing process.

The simplicity, elegance, and intelligence present within us and around us in nature elicits the ecstatic sense of awe that is at the root of the innate power to heal. It is with gratitude to share this unique and remarkable practice.
