Energy based craniosacral therapy works by encouraging the life force within the fluids to restore the natural order of the body and align oneself to the original blue print of health. This process of healing restructures and reorganizes deeper and deeper layers or patterns and revitalizes them in such a way as to restore the bodies original pattern of health. Clients often report that they are free of emotional and physical pain that they thought would never leave them. Even knots from accidents where the patient survived horrible care accidents from 25 years ago can leave. Healing is a process and typically the most recent accident trauma and its associated patterns will be the first to leave and then as the bodies resources are sufficient the body will become ready to address the next most appropriate condition and layer of associated experience.
