CranioSacral Children

Forgive the primitive nature of this Video short. We were under extreme conditions and could not charge the Video Camera!) But here's the full story from the April 07, CraniOcean.Calm News:

For these past several years, we have been exploring CranioSacral in healing sessions with dolphins in the Bahamas under relatively controlled conditions. I'd mentioned that we were recently invited to Panama to work in the ocean around wild dolphins and guess what? No dolphins! There was not one wild dolphin to be seen or even sensed for miles around us. What did we take from this? Did we get depressed? Well, maybe for a few minutes. Then we realized that we had been given so much by the dolphins over the years that perhaps now was the time for us to assimilate the lessons from them. We had worked on clients with the dolphins, but at times, the dolphins had worked on us too!

As we sat with this, a need arose for us to work on the little children in the nearby jungle village of Portabello.

Our team was situated on a desolate beach some miles from Portobello. The tiny village of Portobello is famous for its Fortress which was held by the Spanish to deliver gold stolen from South America to Spain. The Fortress was attacked by Pirates!

Now, the village is revered in Panama for its chapel dedicated to the the Black Christ--the Christ portrayed with black skin. The children came to our open air huts on the shore in a large engine powered boat as the jungle was impassable.

First they danced for us, in a most curious fashion. Okay. As girls from 4 to 8 years old sang a rather mature song about how a husband had brutalized his wife, and had left the family to starve, the boys danced with wild costumes and Junkanoo hats and every now and then, one boy would fall and convulse on the ground, his legs and arms kicking. His fellows would gather round him with a thin, clear plastic tube attached to a strainer or old O2 mask. They would place the mask on the convulsing boy's face and blow through the tube to revive him. Soon our group leader, Chas Perry, jumped into the dance and fell on the ground and convulsed too. Chas is a large man with white hair and the little jungle boys were shocked. Then they tried to revive the struggling Chas with the tube and mask! We all realized they were asking for breath--to breathe. (Dr William Garner Sutherland long ago characterized the craniosacral system's response as The Breath of Life)

Soon after the wild dancing and convulsing ended, we invited the children and their Chaperones to come to the ocean. Some children played alone while others floated in the ocean, held gently by our team. Some children would be hesitant. Others would get it instantly and just drop their heads into our waiting hands. Our hands quickly identified a series of cranial base dysfunctions that would have made for serious trouble--including mood disorders--as the children would mature into adolescence. The ocean floated us in a blend with the jungle and sky. There was a sense of blessing and presence. No doubt some of our team will return....
