The Breath of Life A Craniosacral Primer BY AUREAL WILLIAMS C raniosacral touch is a light contact modality that invites the body to self-correct through skilled touch, conscious presence, deep stillness, and a working knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and embryological development. This modality is known by a variety of names, such as craniosacral therapy, Visionary Craniosacral Work, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, craniosacral biodynamics, and dynamic stillness. The spectrum of approaches to craniosacral touch extends from direct manipulation, as in inducing a stillpoint, to a non-action presence that holds neutral. Whatever the name or the approach, the client, practitioner, and the fi eld around them seems to sink into deep stillness where the body can self- correct. A universal client experience of craniosacral touch seems to be one of renewal, well-being, and deep contentment. visit massageandbodywork.com to access your digital magazine 75
