 In a recent discussion amongst Holistic Practitioners the question was asked “Why do clients come to see you?” “Why do they come back?”
After thinking about this I decided that a part of the reason was perhaps, the opportunity to take a “time out” for however long they were on my table. That for an hour or more they could rest in mind, body and spirit, not be “on” and not have to be “doing”. Instead for a short time they could just rest and be. Why do I get this impression? Because the thing I hear from you most often is “I have never felt so relaxed. Ever." Taking “time out” or resting your mind, body and spirit is a crucial part of physical, mental and emotional health. It does not have to be earned.

 One of the main focuses of a Craniosacral Therapy session is to encourage your Nervous System to relax, so that your body can reset. When your Nervous System shifts from the sympathetic (fight or flight) to parasympathetic (rest and digest) function, the healing begins, on all levels. Allowing yourself to surrender and let go isn’t easy for some. It requires your confidence and trust in both me, and in yourself. Trust that I am a safe person to completely relax with, and that I have the skills and training to provide your session.
 Emotions are a natural and human way of expression. And you are human before you put on any of the other roles you have in this life.
Emotions are also an energy that you can suppress or release.  Healing Can Happen Through Relaxation
The comment I hear most often from clients, at the end of a Craniosacral Therapy session or Reiki session, is that they have never before felt so deeply and completely relaxed. There is something in the quiet of those two Holistic therapies that nurtures you, mind, body and soul. During a Yin Yoga session poses are held for a longer period of time in order to benefit, stretch and open the deeper muscles and fascia. Fascia alone needs a minimum of 90 to 120 seconds to begin to release during a stretch. Taking time to allow the fascia to stretch is essential to maintaining flexibility, range of motion and overall holistic well-being.
