Healing is an Inside Job that expands over time and usually through slow change.
Don’t Rush Healing. It won’t work. Healing Takes Time.
Do you expect immediate healng results? Welcome to the club. I have seen so many people come into my office and they expect a lot in the first session. Often they have tried so many healing modalities and nothing worked. Understandably, they are disappointed and they learn to give up rather quickly.
The thing is- healing does work. The body has it’s own ability to self-correct, and often comes back to equilibrium. The best time to begin a healing process is when something goes awry-act immediately. This can mean rest. Going to a physician. Seeing a Craniosacral Therapist, and/or eating healthy. Whatever is needed to balance the body and move it closer to health and wellbeing.
The longer a person procrastinates, the mind-body-spirit begins to place band-aids on the experience. Compensations begin. The intricate webbing of life, and the fascia, along with all the other internal systems re-organized in a more sporadic challenging fashion.
With Craniosacral Therapy, the work is so subtle. Some people may not feel much in the first session. A reason for this is that the pain or the past experiences keeps the mind from feeling deep into the pain of an old habit and experience. It takes time for a relationship to develop and for healing to unfold. Often many sessions.
The gentleness and the listening of the body may be a new experience for someone. They may need to open to being held and supported. This seems like it should be so easy, but for many people it is not. So many people live with anxiety for example. They don’t feel centered, safe, or secure with new sensations and feelings. What many of us need is to slow down, be heard, to have our bodies supported compassionately and with skill. This is the key doorway into discovering our own healing abilities.
I like to remind people, often it took time or a severe accident to go into chronic or acute pain or suffering. It takes time for healing too. Be patient with yourself. Breathe through it all. Be kind to you, and be patient with the healing work you choose. It takes time to shift gears and wind down into healing mode.
I recommend at least 4 sessions just to see how your process shows itself. Remember too- it doesn’t have to be painful aggressive work that changes you. Sometimes it’t the opposite of anything you have ever experienced before.
As a Craniosacral Therapist, Somatic Healer and Energy Healer for over 30 years, I can honestly say that there is an easier path. But it is never always easy to navigate until your surrender into your own intention to heal. Your commitment is needed to change. You must allow the greater good to direct your process. Like I said, “it’s an inside job.” But not meant to be done in isolation.
