A VISIONARY APPROACH TO CRANIOSACRAL WORK
For craniosacral therapists and cranial osteopaths
FEBRUARY 4TH TO 7TH 2010
WITH HUGH MILNE
What interests me is the real person: a unique individual whose craniosacral breath is the expression and result of their unique story. Most people would rather you listen to their story (both verbal and somatic) than grant their wish. In my experience of this work, it is all about consciousness and this is what I would like to teach. In a visionary approach to craniosacral work, we are interested in creating the space to allow this perception of the other to develop and to facilitate a dipping below the threshold of appearances into the depth of being.
A set schedule or paradigm tends to inhibit the kind of spontaneity and responsiveness that is the essence of gifted healing work, so this class will respond to its participants, their needs, interests and where they are on the path of skill development, to better cultivate the gift of seeing things clearly. We will anchor our work with PowerPoint presentations, anatomical models and demonstrations of visionary work by the teacher. We will use poetry, process work, storytelling, medical intuitive techniques and work in small groups. Approximately half of each day will be devoted to hands on work.
Some topics that may be covered include:
- Assignment: the art of giving the client a subject, question or koan to consider, thus helping to clarify their need for the session
- 'Hot' and 'cold' reading: information gathering and going in with no information and tuning into the clients personal akashic/aura/morphogenetic field and reflecting what you sense
- Delineation: summarising and clarifying the reason for the client's visit
- Medical intuitive reading
- Object psychometry and heart psychometry, which includes a contact with a models heart whilst considering questions about perception
- Mandible psychometry - with a contact and focus on the mandible
- Homework: the art of sensing what kind of assignment (ie. reading, spiritual practice, diet, exercise, sports, watching a film, dance, song or learning a poem) will help the client gain insight and skill
- Seven types of touch: a sequence of touching designed to open non-usual channels of perception
- Governor and earth: a six-part sequence designed to work with the yang aspects of dreambody
- Windows to the sky: an 11-point sequence to begin an appreciation of where meridian, vessel and tsubo work shares realms with the tide.
