craniosacral

In this weeks episode of the podcast, I am chatting with Emily Carson from @emilyandruby who is a somatic practitioner, acupuncturist and craniosacral therapist. She talks us through her knowledge about the body and helps us to think about preparing for birth and postpartum.  In particular, Emily shares the importance of regulating your nervous system and supporting the tissues in your pelvis. She believes that pelvic floor recovery requires a much more nuanced approach than just kegels, and helps us to understand how the jaw and pelvic floor are connected.

This a fascinating episode which is full of useful information for women at all stages of life, including pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum, peri-menopause and post menopause. So please feel free to share it widely - and let us know your thoughts. You can find Emily on Instagram @emilyandrubyYou can look at her website www.emilycarson.co.uk

Interview with Etienne Peirsman. After a staph infection left Etienne Peirsman with nearly 20% kidney function, he prepared to die. That is when he found the Clarity of Total Silence 30 years ago. In a remarkable turn of events, he was able to heal his own body through little known healing techniques that emphasized the power of human touch and mental clarity. After he was able to heal his own body with Cranio-Sacral techniques, he realized the healing power of human touch could be used to help others suffering from chronic illness and life-threatening disease. Etienne describes Cranio-Sacral as the closest thing to the wonderful “silence'' he discovered during his own near death experience that brought him back to life. It has become the core driving force behind his life’s passion for over 30 years. Today, he is founder of The Peirsman School for CranioSacral Therapy Academy in Holland, where he originated the CranioSacral Professional Organization and the first ever online class for medical professionals to incorporate Cranio-Sacral techniques into their practice.

In this podcast episode you will learn:
✨ Etienne's magical story of healing himself
✨ The Role of Human Touch To Stimulate Oxytocin
✨ How To Tap Into The Wisdom & Regenerative Power Of The Brain

Enjoy listening / watching.

🔸 TOOLS & SERVICE...

In this podcast we do meditative processes that open doorways of perception. Like focusing the aperture of a camera and watching a whole scene suddenly come into clear focus, you can adjust your nervous system to directly experience dimensions of in-form-ation that were previously unavailable. Your world literally widens in scope and creativity, just like when you learned to read or ride a bike or drive a car. 

Today we’ll enter into a part of the body you may never have considered much: your cranial bones. Feeling into and encouraging small degrees of subtle motion in the cranial bones can release physical and psychological restrictions, as well as having a unique affect on the energy field that emanates from your physical self.  We’ll focus on using these skills to release stress and come into closer relationship with the people, creatures and environment around us. 

If this is your first time listening, I recommend first doing some of the earlier episodes from this season to make sure you are prepared for this material.

Here are some related resources to support your understanding:

• Download free ‘Cranial Primer’ to support your understanding: Cranial Primer
• Delve deeper with our online instructional course: Light Body I: Proprioceptive Exercise & the Outerbody

With this podcast you can access and regulate your developing light body. Within it are the keys to vast dimensions of information and adventure. It’s free, it’s healthy, it’s fun, and you can enter into it whenever you want from wherever you are.

THE RISE OF THE ENERGY ARTS WITH CRANIOSACRAL AND REIKI MASTER, STEPHANIE EDWARDS

Since childhood, Stephanie had a desire to learn about the human body and how it connects with nature. She has always sought to lead a holistic and spiritual lifestyle, initially focusing on meditation and yoga. With a thirst to expand her knowledge and understanding of energy healing, she spent time in Asia in 2013 studying Reiki before qualifying as a licensed Western Usui Reiki Practitioner and Master Teacher and a Jikiden and Millenium Reiki Practitioner. Reiki has influenced, changed, and reconnected her back to a happier, spiritual existence which is always evolving.

Her interest in Holistic healing and healing her own personal trauma did not stop with Reiki and has led me down the magical path of Reflexology, TRE (trauma release exercise), Think and Craniosacral therapy.

Craniosacral Therapy has widened Stephanie’s view of life as she perceives it and how the body’s inherent wisdom is far greater than we can comprehend and how deep healing can occur on all levels. We perceive the body as only having a few levels but in fact it has many of which we are not fully aware of.

Join us as we discuss the state of ‘Dynamic Stillness’, the power of touch and an attitude of curiosity, the role of intuition and how her client demographics are changing in recent years. Stephanie shares her own journey into the Energy Arts and so much more.

Today’s episode is more of an educational episode on craniosacral therapy and the benefits that it presents to humans. I interview Etienne Piersman who is one of the world’s leading craniosacral therapists. He has four schools across the globe teaching people the craniosacral practice. Craniosacral therapy is a form of bodywork or alternative therapy that uses gentle touch to palpate the joints of the cranium. It is based on fundamental misconceptions about the physiology of the human skull and is promoted as a cure-all for a variety of health conditions. One of the main topics of today’s episode is learning how to enter a state of “no mind” to turn off the brain and let the heart express itself. 

 Etienne Peirsman is a biology and physical education teacher who has been involved with emotional training, encounter work, primal healing and meditation since 1974. He began teaching craniosacral (CS) in 1991, and founded several CS institutes in Belgium and the Netherlands. He is the founder and director of PCSA (Peirsman Cranio Sacral Academy) in the Netherlands. He is also the originator of the Cranio Sacral Professional Organization in Holland which began as a result of his students becoming professionals. As a result, he has a grandfather status in that organization and is an honorary member of The Dutch Cranio Sacral Practitioner Association (NCSV). Additionally, he taught CS at the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts for nearly a decade. 

As a meditator of over 40 years, Etienne Peirsman has developed a unique teaching style over the past two decades that adds an extraordinarily compassionate and meditative depth to the methods used by the Upledger Institute and combines a practical, no-nonsense approach with the biodynamic style. Etienne has been teaching for over twenty-three years, bringing his life experience to the classroom. He has schools in Belgium and the Netherlands and teaches in North America in New Mexico and Washington, and Hong Kong.
