What Is the Difference Between The Mechanical and The Biodynamic Models of Craniosacral Therapy?

I am often asked by students, what is Craniosacral Biodynamics and how does it differ from the “mechanical” approach? My answer is that one is the path of the Shaman, and the other is that of the mechanic. Both are very rewarding and effective, but the Biodynamic model will change who you are as a human being and how you walk on this water planet.

I know because I practiced the mechanical approach for ten years, and then the Biodynamic aproach for the last 13. Of all the disciplines whose knowledge I have drunk from, including my start at the Rolf Institute in 1989, the Biodynamic model of craniosacral therapy has been the greatest gift and the most transformative and magical of all the disciplines I have learned.

Quantum physicists tell us that we are actually a liquid crystalline matrix vibrating with light, held in place by gravity! Trauma is held in that field and that is where we work! When you begin to immerse yourself in that concept everything begins to shift. It is no different than when you walk in the fields laden with morning dew. It doesn’t take long before your clothing becomes soaked. Your perception of healing and reality shifts the longer you practice.

You begin to play in that field that Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi spoke of when he said “Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” Once you begin to play with this modality of bodywork and perceive the miracle of healing unfold in a miraculous way, you realize it is not you who is doing the healing, but the Witnessing Presence, and you are forever humbled.

Often times in life, when we feel a need for a change, a portal presents itself along the journey. It is a tugging at your sleeve by the Divine to change you direction. It has happened to me on a few occasions in my life, and I always choose to walk through that portal. Each time it has profoundly changed my life in a beautiful way.

Come join me this spring, in Guatemala, at one of the most amazing spots in the world. I will teach you how to ride the tides of the cranial wave, and by doing so
usher you into a healing journey with one of the most profound and effective healing tools available.

    Hello,

    I am very interested in learning craniosacral techniques. I am a 55 yo retired public school administrator. I have had several sessions of CST and have seen first hand the amazing results of this wonderful method of healing. My granddaughter suffered a TBI and her progress has been remarkable thanks to weekly CST sessions over the past two years. Do you have prerequisites to take an online course?
