Biodynamic Craniosacral Balancing

Based upon the early work of American osteopath, Dr. William Sutherland and later, the work of Franklyn Sills, Biodynamic Craniosacral Balancing focuses on the craniosacral system—the skull, its individual bones, the membranes underneath and the fluctuation of the cerebrospinal fluid between the cranium and sacrum. During his research, Dr. Sutherland realized that the human skull is not solid, but rather multiple cranial bones designed for movement in keeping with the rhythm of the tide-like movement of the cerebrospinal fluid. He believed this movement produced the body’s inherent life force, that he named the “Breath of Life.” He regarded the subtle movements of the “Breath of Life” as expressions of health.

Throughout our lives, the body tends to hold onto stress, physical and psychological injuries, and trauma, thereby creating inertia. These sites of inertia effect the natural rhythmical movements of the “Breath of Life,” hindering the ability of our essential blueprint for health to manifest at a cellular level. By palpating the subtle movements of the “Breath of Life,” the therapist may resolve the trapped forces that underlie and govern the patterns of disease and fragmentation in the body and mind. Once these rhythms are expressed in fullness and balance, self-healing begins and health and wellbeing naturally follow.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy seeks to address the whole person and the interconnections among the mind, body, and spirit. This therapy helps to create optimal conditions for health, encourages vitality, and facilitates a sense of wellbeing. It is effective in dealing with acute and chronic illness.
