I attended a class today on CranioSacral Therapy. My thoughts were that it was going to be another good modality for helping people get relief from body pain. It is so much more than that. It's kinda hard to explain. It just works.
We watched a film about vietnam veterans who were suffering with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) & the result was that they rid their mind & body of the residual affects of trauma resulting in a remarkable improvement in the central nervous system (consists of the brain & spinal cord)because of the releasing of restrictions in the cranial system.
I learned that the cerebral spinal fluid that circulates from your brain all the way down your spinal column and back up to your brain has a rythm all it's own at a rate of about 6 to 10 beats per minute; apart from your heart beat ranging from 60 to 100 beats per minute, and apart from your lungs at a respiratory rate of 12-18 beats per minute. This cranial pulse is so faint that it could be quite a long time before I can discover it. It is a skill to be acquired. Also, the serous membranes that surrounds your heart, lungs, stomach& intestines, and the male testes does not circulate. It is there for protection and ease of friction. Your brain & spinal cord have a different membrane called meninges which contains 3 layers of protection called the Pia Mater, Arachnoid mater, and the Dura mater...how cool that that as an acrostic it spells out the word PAD! Our Lord does inside neat stuff like that! no pun intended! The cerebral spinal fluid CIRCULATES & ReABSORBS throughout your spinal column giving the body nutrition and removing waste. This is a unique system called the Cranial Sacral System. The CSF is produced in the center of your brain called the charoid plexus. Anytime there is and abnormality in the body or blockage there will be an increase in cranial pressure. Your brain does make slight movement unseen by the naked eye!
Anyways, while I took a break for lunch I read the headline of the newspaper sitting there and saw the article about the "New Addiction" being video games. I hope they don't prescribe a pill for that. Couldn't a little touch ease an addiction? Think about the root causes of why addictions exist...there are all kinds these days..... Could a little touch so light as the weight of a nickel help someone overcome and rid their body of pain they have not knowingly or knowingly stored there? How about spinal cord injury, autism, migraines, scoliosis, stress, chronic fatigue, & fibromyalgia to name a few? That's what's happening with cranio sacral therapy.
Dear Lord-
Thank you for holding the whole world in the palm of your hand. Your hands are like no others. Your touch changes everything. Each time I study the human body I am awestruck by how it works and moves all perfectly together. May the way I live my life and the works of my hands reflect your glory and bring praise to you.
Lord, may there be more discoveries just waiting to be found of ways to heal verses popping pills to cover over the root cause of disease.....starting from the heart level and working out from there.
One other note Father is just like this cerebral spinal fluid is the core station of the physical body and is mysterious and can be undetected, if we take our mind out of it and feel it with our heart, it can be found. It is there . It is with you. Even though we can not see you, we can feel your presence and know that you are there. May you have the "Core" position in both our hearts and our minds.
In the name of Jesus
Amen
