Craniasacral Therapy Session #2

More interesting sensations

Last week I had my second session of craniasacral.

What an interesting experience.

It is the closest that I’ve ever come to feeling hypnotized and in a state of hypnosis.

I felt to be in a deep state of relaxation. Almost like a weighted blanket was on top of me.

I would have flashbacks to painful memories and then immediately afterwards, I experienced a lot of rapid eye movement, that was also involuntary, much like what we experience when we dream. Although I was awake.

I had twitching of my nose and nostrils a lot. That was odd—I’m sure I looked like a bunny moving my nose.

My stomach gurgled and I also got very thirsty and felt the need to hydrate for a long time afterwards.

I felt often during and afterwards like a strange pressure of fluid flowing in my head, which makes sense. The whole idea as I understand it is to get the bones subtly manipulated in order to get cerebral fluid flowing and to different parts of my brain then before.

These subtle movements and gentle touches are to help the body to regulate itself, to return to a state of homeostasis and heal itself from trauma.

It is deeply relaxing and afterwards, I almost stumble off the table. I do think it is helping my sleep, my thoughts and my body to heal.
