"Hi there, if you're curious about craniosacral massage, I can give you a little bit of information on it. Now, craniosacral massage, is a very gentle and subtle form of massage therapy, that is very different from the traditional forms of massage, that most of us are familiar with. Now, with craniosacral massage, it is used to cleanse and purge the body of old illnesses, and traumas. Now, they can be illness and trauma that you're aware of, or those that you don't have any clue that you're carrying around with you, such as birth trauma, and trauma from early childhood, and craniosacral is a very gentle and subtle way, to get rid of these kinds of things. Now, with craniosacral, the therapist sits at the head of the client, and gently manipulates the skull or the cranium ,with the effects that move down the spinal cord, which is your nervous system, and end up in the sacral area, so thus the term, craniosacral massage. It starts in the cranium and ends up in the sacrum. Now, many people experience relief from symptoms, that seem totally unrelated to the cranial system, like the ability to stand up straighter, take more deeper breaths, with more efficiency. Be able to maintain boundaries and relationships easier, and the ability to relate with others, so sometimes people receive benefits from things that seem totally unrelated to the cranial system, and of course, as everyone is different, the benefits that you receive are as different as well, because everybody has a very different brain chemistry, and nervous system, so that's just a little bit about craniosacral therapy, and the benefits that you can receive from it. I'm Sundae, with Natural Sundae. Take it easy."
