Distance Craniosacral Therapy
Distance healing is a powerful way to receive Craniosacral Therapy in the comfort and safety of your own home. During this unprecedented time, while we shelter in place due to the ongoing pandemic, distance healing work has come to the forefront and many holistic practitioners are learning to embrace its vast healing potential, myself included. Having never received it myself, I decided to give it a try.
The session began with a general check-in and my Craniosacral Therapist asked me to set an intention for our work together. I then found a quiet, comfortable place to lie down. She asked me to feel into my breath and body as she tuned into my whole system or "biofield", adeptly sensing into the places that held restrictions. Then similar to a guided meditation she assisted me in releasing those places with my breath and awareness. Soon I began to feel more present and grounded, my sacrum loosened and I realized how much tension I had been carrying since the pandemic began. As my physical body released and my nervous system regulated, I felt emotions come to the surface. I floated in that calmness for awhile feeling my whole system come into alignment. As our time came to an end, she asked if the process felt complete and then we checked in briefly to integrate the session. For the next few days, I felt calmer, and was able to work through stressful situations more easily. Over the following week, I had many emotional, as well as, spiritual insights about my health, my life and our current global reality. As a Craniosacral Therapist, I work with the "subtle energetic level" all the time, and when applicable, work "off the body" meaning standing or sitting a few feet away. Even so, I was surprised by how similar this session felt to an in-person session.
For anyone new to the phrase "energetic level", let me explain. Everything in the world is made of energy and all living things are interconnected– people, animals, plants and even individual cells have an energetic signature or "biofield". This biofield is what connects us to the rhythms of the earth and the universal field or matrix. This is how Distance healing works. It works because we are all interdependent and interconnected.
Since the 1970s, it is recognized that particles which occupy the same quantum state remain interconnected at any distance. The particles are said to 'perceive each other', no matter how far removed they are from each other in space or in time. This is known as quantum entanglement. Interconnection between organisms who are entangled, such as the therapist and the patient, create a special kind of perception, as the therapist receives information at a quantum level from and about the patient, regardless of the physical distance that separates them.
During this global health crisis - a trying time of uncertainty, anxiety and chaos for all humanity - when so many of us healing practitioners have been "benched" due to social distancing, what an unexpected and extraordinary gift to receive!! Please reach out if you have any questions, (phone and scheduler below) I'm happy to talk about his exciting new offering.
In their own words:
"Although I have worked with Tomi for the past three years, still I did not know what to expect with a Distance Cranial-sacral session. I imagined it would be very different. It was, and yet how comforted I felt - both in the experience of being 'held' by her, from a distance, while she worked but how the sensations extended throughout the following days. How to describe the experience with words? It is very primal, like being held in the lap of some trusted person and allowing oneself to be safely seen and felt such that my body lightened, and let go. It was a wonderful, but different, way to meditate and contemplate the inner world of my Being". p.s. 5/2020
"I found that working with Tomi in the Distance Cranio form is also powerful and healing but in a more subtle way than the hands on session. In the distance session, I could feel energy opening up and releasing in my upper back, neck and head that helped relieve tension in my head that I'd had the whole day. I also felt a sense of ease and integration throughout my whole spine and body which made me feel more whole, reducing the stress I had been carrying. I felt my whole system and energy centers relaxing into a deep, calm state. This subtle calm carried into the night helping me to sleep deeply, and into the next day. I do recommend Tomi's distance work which is healing on a whole system level." A.T. 4/2020
