In CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY, I use very gentle touch to work with the hydraulic forces of the cerebrospinal fluid flow and encourage release of tension and restrictions in muscles and connective tissues.  Some people also experience the release of emotions which were stored in the body during an injury from a fall or other traumas.  CranioSacral Therapy is often helpful to people suffering from headaches, back pain, post traumatic stress disorder, TMJ problems, some kinds of depression, and many other difficulties.  CranioSacral Therapy sessions facilitate deep relaxation.  If you have a meditation practice or would like to start one, you may find that CranioSacral Therapy will help you access a deep meditative state while you are receiving the work, and that this will help you in your practice outside of the session as well.  Many people find that entering this meditative state of consciousness offers them a sense of spiritual connection.  Many of us spend a great deal of time in "fight or flight" mode.  Meditation, as well as bodywork like CranioSacral Therapy, can help us shift into the rest and digest (or relaxation) response, with all the physical benefits we receive from that.  These include relaxed (resting) heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing, as well as improved digestion and elimination, better production of tears and saliva, and a feeling of well being, among other things.  For more information about CranioSacral Therapy, see http://upledger.com/content.asp?id=26
