Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy “BCST”
What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy … BCST?
BCST is a healing art that works with the energies that create and maintain health in the human system. While not a manipulative therapy, it has its roots in osteopathy and has evolved to include influences from advances in neuroscience, human development, pre and perinatal psychology, and trauma resolution. Practitioners use an educated gentle, non-invasive touch to listen for and to engage with the expressions of health in the system. BCST supports nervous system regulation and allows the resolution of conditions resulting from stress and trauma.
People often say that health means physical vitality, emotional well-being, a sense of purpose, and a capacity to enjoy life. Clients frequently report feeling less discomfort, more energy, resilience, and mental clarity. As feelings of well-being begin to arise, clients often notice a sustainable improvement in their symptoms.
During a session, the client rests fully clothed on a massage table. A level of safety is created for the client as the practitioner and client negotiate the space and contact between them. The session proceeds as the practitioner listens with a light non-invasive touch to the deep and ever-present expressions of health within the client’s system. BCST sessions are resourcing; the mind and body feel rested, and health is experienced as more accessible and embodied.
As a gentle safe healing art, BCST is suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions. BCST can be particularly helpful in relieving the effects of stress and overwhelm often expressed in the following conditions: Acute/Chronic Pain: Injuries, Surgeries, Chronic Inflammation, Headaches, Backaches, Sciatica, Structural Misalignment Auto-immune disorders: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies, Multiple Sclerosis, Inflammatory Skin disorders Trauma and Nervous System Dysregulation: PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Difficulties Sleeping.
Individual $60 for one hour session; $30 for introductory session.
REIKI
What is reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique. The predominate form of reiki practiced throughout the world today, also known as Usui reiki, was created by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It’s a complementary or alternative health approach. Reiki does not directly cure diseases or illnesses. Instead, it’s used as a way to manage symptoms and improve general well-being.
During a reiki session, the practitioner places their hands either directly on you or just above you to bring about healing. The belief is that the practitioner is able to stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities.
Read on to learn more about the benefits and side effects of reiki, and what to expect from a reiki session.
5 Health Benefits of Reiki
1. Relieves pain, anxiety, and fatigue
According to a review of randomized trials (Trusted Source), reiki may help to reduce pain and anxiety, though more research is needed. It may also help to reduce fatigue.
A 2015 study (Trusted Source) found that people being treated for cancer who received distant reiki in addition to regular medical care had lower levels of pain, anxiety, and fatigue. These levels were significantly lower than the control group, who only received medical care. Participants had 30-minute sessions of distant reiki for five days.
In another 2015 study, researchers looked at the effects of reiki on women following cesarean delivery. They found that reiki significantly reduced pain, anxiety, and the breathing rate in women 1-2 days after having a cesarean delivery. The need for and number of analgesic pain killers was also reduced. Reiki didn’t have an effect on blood pressure or pulse rate.
A 2018 study (Trusted Source) compared the use of reiki to physiotherapy for relieving lower back pain in people with herniated disks. Both treatments were found to be equally effective at relieving pain, but reiki was more cost-effective and, in some cases, resulted in faster treatment.
2. Treats depression
Reiki treatments may be used as part of a treatment plan to help relieve depression. In a small 2010 study, researchers looked at the effects of reiki on older adults experiencing pain, depression, or anxiety. The participants reported an improvement of their physical symptoms, mood, and well-being. They also reported more feelings of relaxation, increased curiosity, and enhanced levels of self-care.
Larger, more in-depth studies are required to expand upon these findings.
3. Enhances quality of life
The positive benefits of reiki can enhance your overall well-being. Researchers in a small 2016 study found that reiki was helpful in improving the quality of life for women with cancer. Women who had reiki showed improvements to their sleep patterns, self-confidence, and depression levels. They noted a sense of calm, inner peace, and relaxation.
Larger studies are needed to expand on these findings.
4. Boosts mood
Reiki may help to improve your mood by relieving anxiety and depression. According to results from a 2011 study, people who had reiki felt greater mood benefits compared to people who didn’t have reiki. The study participants who had six 30-minute sessions over a period of two to eight weeks showed improvements in their mood.
5. May improve some symptoms and conditions
Reiki may also be used to treat:
headache, tension, insomnia, and nausea. The relaxation response that happens with Reiki may benefit these symptoms. However, specific research is needed to determine the efficacy of reiki for the treatment of these symptoms and conditions.
Individual $60 for one hour session; $30 for introductory session.
Akashic Records
The Akashic Records are an energetic recording of every thought, word, deed, motive, intention and feeling a soul has ever experienced since its first inception into a physical form. Therefore, your Record is like an in-depth, autobiography that is written without judgment of choices made or outcomes manifested. It is very interactive with the soul’s experience today because all past experiences and thoughts influence what is being attracted into your life now. Past experiences also affect how one responds, relates or reacts to their life in the present moment.
An Akashic Record Consult taps into the level of consciousness where your Records reside. During your session, your consultant will move into the consciousness of your records and share with you the answers to the questions you have prepared for your consultation.
A consult usually lasts about 45 minutes to an hour – $60.
