Touch

Article #2--uncut (first newsletter) Most of us have worked together in sessions, once or many times, on a relaxing massage table or the waters of the ocean. We know, on some level, it's been a great priviledge. No session ever began without silence, or without asking permission first into the blend. And no two sessions were ever alike. Asking permission to begin a session, to continue a session, and to end a session, is all if we are to touch what is. Sensitive Healthcare Practitioners have called CranioSacral the "CranioSacral Blessing", and that to receive it is to touch the sacred. I'm uncomfortable with the too easy use of the word, sacred. I myself call it, touching what is. When we are working in the ocean, for example, we are also touching what is. Touching What Is, is not easy to do. It requires courage and a capacity to question and learn and evolve. Society does not ordinarily encourage this! We are, after all, supposed to remain good consumers and do as we are told by our medical authorities. Think about it for awhile. I feel that this capacity to question our medical authorities is innate to each one of us but is very weak and must be developed. CraniOcean is a cousin of CranioSacral Therapy--which makes it even less well known :) Many of you have asked about the name, "CraniOcean". The name, CraniOcean, was inspired long before working with clients and dolphins in the Bahamas in Bio-Aquatic Research under the auspices of the Upledger Institute. CraniOcean by itself, is intuitive bodywork and massage in a blend with CranioSacral Therapy. It is performed on a relaxing massage table, or in a warm pool, or in the waters of the ocean itself. To receive a session is the feeling of giving the Central Nervous System a dreamy dip in a warm bath. The resonant effects of sessions last and expand along with the client's expansion, and any expansion experience is an enlightment experience. Q: What is the difference between a newsletter, a blog, and a book? A: I don't know, I'm still checking it out!
