The Energy of Bones

THE BABY SKULL
Lots of fascinating effects pop up when you do a physical treatment with a patient that overlaps into energy work. For example, when you're holding the cranial vault in a Craniosacral Therapy treatment, it often feels as if what is just one complete bone in the physical body has several sections in the energetic body. I think, in the case of the cranium, this at least partly because the baby skull has many more sections than the adult skull so it can fold in on itself during labour. You sometimes find that the adult skull has the memory of an over-ride between the parietals and the frontal bone, it can seem to have a beneficial overall effect for the patient if this resolves in a treatment.
SACRUM AND COCCYX

The Sacrum and Coccyx also seem to have quite different physical and energetic presences, something I've already been exploring in our regular remote group sessions, which I'd like to explore further in our session today, Thursday16th July 2020.

Rippling Light

It's just coming up for a year since we moved in to our flat here in Perth, and what a brilliant year it's been. It's been so good to be near to my kids and grandkids and some of my oldest friends again, and back in familiar places, some of which haven't changed a lot since I was a kid here myself.
It's also been brilliant to get back into the way of treating people in the hands-on way again and swapping treatments with old and new friends who like to explore and extend what they're doing. This has opened up a whole new appreciation of CranioSacral Therapy and treatment in general for me. (How crazy to be starting out afresh at the ripe old age of 65...) This in turn has led to whole new realms opening up in our remote treatment group sessions, particularly to do with effects going on within the cerebrospinal fluid itself. I'd always thought of its flow as being quite simple, but not at all.

The more I focus into the fluid itself, the more I find new patterns appearing. At the physical level, I've been feeling an expansion and contraction of the sacrum which seems to be part of the system for pumping the fluid around our central nervous system, and many more rhythms beyond the basic ebb and flow we learn about in the basic Upledger courses. There's the longer tides observed in Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy and also a mini-rippling effect I've noticed myself, which I think may be interruptions in the flow caused by the trebeculae within the arachnoid membrane, acting like tiny bridge supports and stirring up and activating the flow just as a full size bridge support in a river does. It's all such a mind-bogglingly amazing bit of design at the physical level, and then there's the energetic level.
It's been very interesting to bring some of the effects I've noticed through treating people remotely into hands-on treatments, especially in the way of switching from a physical to an energetic focus, or having both at once. Holding an energetic awareness of the fluid has been amazing, like holding a tube of light with reflections rippling all around it. It feels like being in touch with the core of the energy flow through our being. So that's probably going to be the starting point for our next remote group session on Thursday 13th December, join in if you can 21.15 to 22:00 pm UK time, or tune in with the session at whatever time suits you.

Energy Work - Fields, Flows, Feelings and the Future

As if our physical bodies weren't complicated enough, they're just a small part of our human being. Folded up within and around our physical body is our energy body. Every physical structure, every cell, organ, system, generates a field and is generated by a field. Just as flows of blood, lymph, oxygen and so on flow around our physical bodies, different forms of energy flow around and between each of them. The energy counterpart of each of our physical structures is also a window into a world of feelings and has its own nature or personality. This seems to be especially true of the sacrum which we connected with in last Thursday's group session.
