What is BCST?
LIFE AS HEALTH
An advanced therapy that combines a scientific understanding of the body combined with mindfulness skills, a unique type of touch and a recognition of the health that underlies all life.
Health is the Focus
When there is life, there is health. Your body always has some level of life-force present and running or you simply would not be here! Recognizing this life-force is a core principle of this therapy. An innate sense of wellness is brought forth when we allow a connection to the bodies underlying vitality. Stillness allows for us to engage in the health that exists within us all.
When a therapist touches into what is healthy and vibrant in your unique self, miraculous connections and resolutions begin to occur. Facilitating natural expressions of health is both the intention and beauty of this treatment which sets it apart within body work and trauma resolution fields.
We understand that pain, injury, and pathologies exist, but do not have to define you. In stillness we find health, then work to cultivate that health to bring a profound understanding of wellness into your life.
The Technique
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) takes a holistic approach to treating the body as an integrative unit. This work is subtle yet profound at its core. This gentle approach utilizes the human bodies natural ability of self-awareness, self-regulating and repairing.
Biodynamic touch is light and non-invasive. Therapists in this field learn specialized ways of contacting the body without applying pressure, force or demanding manipulations. We listen with our hands to the subtle rhythms of the body. These subtle forces give rise to better health and vitality that are directed by the natural priorities of your physiology. Without having a specific agenda, this treatment allows your system to become empowered by its own intelligence and ability to heal.
BCST supports holistic resolution so you can live your most fulfilling self. Too often we separate the mind, body, and emotions for the sake of defining and understanding. In BCST we know that within the human experience all of these systems have to be acknowledged together - especially in a therapeutic capacity. Integration is key because one does not exist without the other.
Safety & Trauma Resolution
Conditional forces from trauma, in many forms, can stay locked in your tissues. Accidents, illnesses, surgical interventions, birth affects, and deeply imprinted psycho-emotional experiences are stored in your DNA. When left unchecked this can manifest as stagnation, inflammation, anxiety, pain, feeling “stuck” or even disease if left unprocessed. The emphasis of my work is to disentangle these trapped forces from your body without disrupting delicate internal environments, thereby aiding in your healing journey.
Supporting safety allows your brain to disengage from fight or flight mode into something slower and more reparative. Letting your nervous system relax, and settle. As you arrive into a more balanced state, your body begins to function more optimally, allowing the rejuvenation pathways like sleep and digestion to work in a more efficient capacity. This in-turn helps the body to unwind and release unresolved traumatic experiences. Maybe allowing more space to feel more grounded, focused, mobile and at ease.
The clear and non-invasive quality of this treatment provides a reflective mirror that encourages your system to support deep and easy change. The beauty and depth of this world is in its simplicity. Your therapist is neutrally-focused. This neutrality allows for the creation of a space that is still, calm and empathetic while creating a container that holds presence and care, allowing for the client to be held in and experience complete safety.
Go with the flow
This is a fluid based therapy and we are very interested in flow. By helping the body to unwind and create space, we can support fluid movements creating more potency, vibrancy, clarity and energy within your felt senses. Fluids move nutrients and oxygen throughout the body, and our very life-force operates along fluid channels. Unrestricted flow is an intrinsic characteristic of homeostasis that is facilitated by BCST.
