Physical Healing

I have been given a gift recently of the opportunity to attend cranio-sacral classes with Janet Evergreen. She is an incredibly advanced practitioner who studied under the greats. She has been on sabbatical leave for 3 years, and is now looking to decide what direction to go in with her practice. For the purpose of exploring that question more, and to stimulate community, she is holding a five day meditation retreat at her studio space this week. I am going to attend the first day, and am very interested to see what this may hold for me.

I have never done very much meditating, however I see other forms of meditation in my life, and their effects. Walking in the fields or the woods, sitting by the stream, laying or sitting quietly and staring at the ceiling or trees out the window. My thoughts just seem to swirl by. These are the times when the world gets quiet enough for me to work things out, to balance feelings in my head and heart. To get back in alignment.

One of the great things about cranio-sacral therapy is that the recipient does not have to understand the process to benefit from it. Viewed as a purely mechanical alignment tool it still does wonders for bringing people's bodies into balance, and their minds soon follow. When we see the genius of the practice, when we embrace the beauty, a world of richness is opened to us as well. A world of healing.

I have had some tough inner challenges present themselves these past days, as well as moments of bliss. I sensed my beloved place in the universe coming out of a cranio-sacral session, and also felt confused and alone at times. I share this as a reminder of the ongoing process we all have, and to offer insight into my own. No one is "ill" or "broken" in the eyes of the Circle of Life. We are all perfect, whole, and complete. We can access that part of ourselves by tuning into our health and resources that are never-ending, always present.

    May we all remember the health that is always existent, and know we are perfect, whole, and complete.
