In our last post on new age alternative therapies, we talked about how they are also taking several steps forward to keep up with the fast-paced lives. Last week we talked about radionics a method which works on the priniciple of body vibrations and energy fields surrounding a person, and the Heal your Life technique that promises to teach you the principles of healing yourself. This week we will talk about 'Cranisaccral Therapy'. This form of therapy works on the rhythm within your body, to resolve any health problems you might have.
What these therapies do are invaluable. In the first place they make us aware of the link between the body-mind and spirit which immediately shifts us to a holistic or spiritual perspective. Secondly, they help us become more aware of our inner world and also help us to handle the physical and emotional challenges that show up while we work on ourselves. Thirdly, we can mix and match many of these modalities instead of staying with just one.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy was accidentally discovered by WG Sutherland in USA. While working on osteopathy with Dr Andrew Still in America he saw that the craniosacral rhythm, caused by circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid, can be felt all over the body as a slow, subtle wave-like motion. This rhythm bathes and nourishes the brain and nervous system. By gently touching areas of the head and body, a practitioner can tune into the rhythmic fluctuations, and work on it diagnostically and therapeutically. Craniosacral sessions enhance this natural flow and support the inner balance of the system, thereby restoring health to the nervous system and all other functions of the body. 'I was recommended Craniosacral sessions for my acute sinusitis which I have had since many years. I was always breathing from my mouth. I was surprised to find that in the sessions, my sacrum got released and after that my sinus problem immediately improved by 50 per cent. I did not realise that my sacrum was still holding an injury that I had from a bike accident more than 30 years ago. My sinusitis gradually improved as we did a few more sessions,' says Vinay Singh, a former IAS officer who underwent the Craniosacral treatment under Craniosacral therapist Zia Nath. Footballer Ricky Williams discovered Craniosacral work after breaking his arm and tearing his Achilles tendon while playing for the Toronto Argonauts in 2006. He was so impressed by how good he felt after receiving Craniosacral sessions as part of his recovery that he decided to take classes and became a trained Craniosacral therapist. 'What I've found with Craniosacral is that it's almost a perfect fit for athletes,' he says.
Though the therapy is extremely holistic, yet the recovery rate from it is quite variable. 'It all depends upon the severity of the problem. If the problems are of general nature such as aches and pains one or two sessions can heal them permanently, but if there are severe injuries or trauma, patients might need prolonged treatment of Craniosacral therapy which might last upto a year. But our results are permanent,' say Zia.
