Stillness Touch

The rhythmic pulse of our life force is a primary organizing energy that underlies our state of health and well-being. When this becomes compromised, disharmony can result in the form dis-ease. Still, the biodynamic perspective is one that views “dis-ease” as the whole system expressing health to its greatest capacity.

Besides the common variety of physical health complaints that prompt people to seek help (see craniosacral therapy), other factors are often present such as:

  • a vague feeling that something’s “wrong” or “missing”

  • feeling dissociated

  • lack of mental clarity

  • low energy

  • low grade anxiety

  • a compulsion to always be on the go

  • inability relax, be alone, or be still

Sometimes even the skilled interventions of craniosacral work, though well-intended, require a certain amount of attention from the mind as well as energy from the body to process. In the case of highly sensitive or compromised individuals, this can actually add stress and/or result in relatively superficial change in terms of the larger picture.

Hence while most craniosacral therapies treat with corrective techniques, Stillness Touch refrains from both manual and intentional directives. These sessions are a refreshing shift away from the usual “symptom - diagnosis - treatment” paradigm to one that patiently awaits for our own inherent forces to reveal themselves. In this way, Stillness Touch can be appreciated as an evolutionary model for health and wholeness.

Here is where your bodymind reconnects with your own individual wellspring - the blueprint that created you. Scientifically speaking, the embryological forces that orchestrated our early growth and formation are still active in us as we move through life. This is the power which guides our biological balance and homeostasis. Both physically and spiritually, this can be expressed as ‘Breath of Life’. Energetically, these indwelling powers guide not only our healing process but also the flow of our life unfolding. The more we can learn to rest and reside in this natural state, we can respond with vitality to immune challenges and stressful experiences while also connecting to that which evolves our intuition and knowing, and individual destiny.
