CHALLENGED BY THE MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS OF CLIENTS ?  LOOKING FOR A PROVEN AND ANCIENT MODALITY THAT ACHIEVES AMAZING BREAKTHROUGHS ? INTERESTED IN ENERGY WORK THAT GETS TO THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE CLIENT’S PAIN AND HEALTH PROBLEMS?

‘The greatest undeveloped territory ,lies under your hat” – Anonymous

Chinese Craniosacral Therapy is a  HOLISTIC, NON-CONFRONTATIONAL, SAFE AND INDIRECT APPROACH to the body’s physical and psychological imbalances. We use a subtle blend of Chinese Acupressure meridian therapy and psychophysiologic   craniosacral therapy. Together we get a self-regulated and self -regulating system of energy medicine. The body is guided and taught to harness its own bio-electric immune system or “ Inner Intelligence”. By working on the mind and para – and sympathetic nervous systems first, we turn inflammation and blockages   around and lay the groundwork for further myofascial release and healing as well.

Areas of imbalncce we work on are: Inflammation ( inner and outer ) ,Toxicity ( emotional and physical ), Circulation / lymph and the overall Immune system

“ AS ABOVE SO BELOW.AS BELOW. SO ABOVE “ – THE GREEN TABLET ( ancient artefact found in Egypt )

In Chinese Craniosacral Therapy the body is a HOLOGRAPH !  We learn how to treat problems  on the left  or right side with the contralateral side first. The issues on the top or bottom of the body with the opposite side. Organ-related issues that are inflammatory with internal organ massage , because all chronic diseases in T.C.M. start in the Digestive system. This is also balanced. You will not simply be taught a protocol but how to treat specific dysfunctions!!!

IN THIS COURSE YOU WILL BE TAUGHT

• The craniosacral system and its connection to the Acupuncture Meridian System
• The location of important Gate acupressure points and meridians and how to identify tender and “ still points “
• The use of certain essential oils to open up these gate points
• Palpatory skills for evaluation and therapeutic use of manipulation and stretching the fascia.
• How to identify congestions and “ sick “ energy that affects the organs and fascia.
• How to treat imbalances by addressing the contralateral side of the body
• The release of toxic viscera through visceral manipulation and their subsequent tonification self-treatment for the therapist and patient

This workshop focuses on three interrelated phases and stages:

1. Active cancer phase
2. Post Treatment phase
3. Surviving phase and remission stage

INTRODUCTION : Cancer in its many variations ( over 200 types have been identified ) and treatments affects all clients in a holistic manner. Body-Mind and Spirit are inextricably woven together and no one part should be preferred or ignored. Cancer is systemic and long-term . There is no single cause of cancer like a virus ,microbe or bacteria . Cancer is slow-acting and insidious. Therefore the instructor has chosen three ancient, time-proven and modern bodywork modalities that work synergistically to create a healing environment in the client. Also none of these modalities are invasive or confrontational.

PROTOCOL: According to T.C.M. ( Traditional Chinese Medicine ) when the Qi/Chi /Ki is blocked, stagnant there is dis-ease. The goal is to create a balanced and free flow of Qi/Chi/Ki. The quickest way to access the Qi is through these four modalities below.

In addition you will be taught the appropriate level of Touch/Pressure. Contraindications and precautions . The appropriate positioning of the client . This goes for all three stages above. We will also discuss the three main therapies and their side-effects: Chemotherapy, Radiation and Surgery.

AREAS TARGETED THAT ARE MUTUALLY AFFECTED

1. Circulation/Lymph
2. Toxicity both emotional and physical
3. Inflammation
4. The immune system ( Mind,Body and Spirit )

Meditation: Qi Gong techniques are taught that are easy to ground and balance both the therapist and patient.

Acupressure: The student is taught the a. nature of acupressure b. how to identify acupressure points c. how to apply acupressure directly d. a full protocol for the cancer patient

Reflexology : The student is taught a. the nature of reflexology b. how to identify the zones on the feet and hands c. how to perform reflexology in a safe manner d. a full protocol for the cancer patient

Evaluation : Charts and questionaires are used to set goals and evaluate the short-term and long-term effects of each treatment .

NOTE: Even if you have never treated clients with Cancer this workshop will still be useful because it focuses on the IMMUNE SYSTEM and any imbalances in health caused by MYOFASCIAL PAIN and EMOTIONAL stress. This workshop will be great for POST-COVID survivors and should be seen as preventive as well.
