IMPLICATIONS FOR MODERN MEDICINE

Craniosacral therapy and visceral release are capable of erasing pain, relaxing fascia, muscle and tendons, aligning bone and releasing trapped emotion from organs. Their potential uses in modern integrated western medicine are enormous. I have outlined below some of the areas in western medicine where craniosacral/visceral therapy is successful and should be thoroughly explored.

Anaesthesia:

The most important uses of craniosacral therapy in anaesthesia are as an early warning system of cardiac arrest and the grounding of patients again after anaesthesia and artificial ventilation.

The speeding up and weakening of the craniosacral rhythm felt through the sphenoid is the earliest sign of impending cardiac arrest by 2 minutes. Its quite a revelation feeling how the craniosacral rhythm alters during surgery as the conscious soul flinches with pain and sometimes panics speeding up this primary rhythm within the body.

In post anaesthesia a simple 5 minute craniosacral touch at the feet/stillpoint can ground a soul back in their body again can bring bringing them back from deep sedation without the use of further drugs.

During artificial ventilation the soul retreats up to the 8th or 9th chakra with loss of shadowing of the thymus gland. After artificial ventilation has stopped, patients need major grounding for the soul to fully reenter their body and thymus to take charge of healing again. A simple stillpoint through the feet over 10 minutes can provide this and accelerate healing by 20%.

Children under 8 and the elderly over 70 get terrified of surgery and their soul partially or totally leaves their body afterwards for 3 to 5 days, leaving them anxious, exhausted, immunosuppressed and unsteady on their feet. They all need grounding through stillpoint through the feet for 5 minutes for 3 days or visceral release of the stored terror in the kidneys and pancreas to recover faster.

Anorexia:

Anorexia is the result of the 3rd chakra/pancreas freezing in terror of nurturing and the 1st chakra/coccyx freezing in frigidity from fear of rape/procreation. The loss of pacification by the frozen pancreas of excess anxiety results in the stomach screwing up into a ball of tension making it impossible to eat adequate amounts of food, or relax enough to feel hungry.

Organ/chakra visceral release is a lifesaver releasing the turmoil of excess anxiety and fear relaxing the stomach for about a week allowing larger food portions to be ingested. Anorexics tend to be highly ungrounded with the frigidity of the 1st chakra combined with fear in their kidneys, terror in their pancreas and self hate in their hearts forcing their soul up into their 5th or 6th chakras. Grounding through energizing the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th chakras weekly combined with twice weekly therapy a fat free high protein diet and graded exercise results in recovery of about 2/3 of young anorexics within 2 years.

What's vital to explore in any anorexic are their 2 soul fears of 1st chakra rape/procreation and 3rd chakra fear of nurturing both themselves and others, otherwise the long term cure rate is less than 10%.

Cardiothoracic Surgery:

Opening of the chest wall causes massive panic in the ribcage which overcontracts afterwards with a tense suffocating holding as if a concrete block has been placed on the chest. Craniosacral therapy releases this all in one 3 minute session resulting in immediate reduction of pain on inspiration and increased peak flow. This is best done within 6 months of surgery.

Comas:

Nearly all comas beyond 12 weeks duration are due to soul retreat in terror to the 14th chakra, where it can stay for up to 5 years before departing forever. During this time if extensive release of tissue memory of trauma followed a session of visceral release of fear from the kidneys,terror from the pancreas, horror from the heart, and sphenoid release 1/3 of comatose patients will regain full consciousness within 15 minutes.

Those comatose for over 5 years always are either soul less unable to ever recover, or have retreated into their 15th chakra making it 3x more difficult to coax them back fully into their bodies again. If complete release of all tissue trauma is followed by weekly activation of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th chakras then 1/8 will eventually recover after about 6 chakra activation treatments.

Face Surgery:

There's a very dense mesh of the fascial body beneath the skin of the face that helps create facial expression. This gets enormously traumatised by any cosmetic surgery especially bridgework. This causes the entire fascial matrix covering the face to screw up in pain causing tension on sutures and excessive lymphoedema. Craniosacral therapy releases this tension rapidly and organises tissue consciousness to accelerate healing. If done through bandages within 12 hours of surgery it will reduce by 1/3 the amount of subsequent swelling, and accelerate the speed of recovery.

Gastroenterology:

The gastrointestinal system is part of our emotional body and stores and digests emotions through us.The stomach stores anxiety, the pancreas trepidation, the spleen hatred and envy, the gallbladder resentment, the liver anger, and the kidneys fear. The small intestine is the storage area for digested emotion and the large intestine and uterus are used for eliminating grief and rage. When these feelings get blocked from natural expression they accumulate leading to organ stasis, and emotional freezing.

The tension in the stomach dictates the tension through the entire small intestine and is the most sensitive part of the whole intestine to irritants. This sensitivity can be used to test for food allergies, drug intolerance, skin allergies and poisons simply by feeling how the stomach reacts upon the patient thinking of that irritant.

The stomach reacts to anxiety and stress by screwing up into a ball of tension, and secreting acid that encourages overgrowth of Heliobacter and ulceration. Visceral release can unscrew this ball of stomach tension curing some chronic peptic ulcers if combined with stress management.

A visceral release on the stomach can release nausea after chemotherapy, through a minute treatment to eradicate the memory of chemotherapy from the stomach lining causing it to relax again.

General surgery:

Craniosacral postoperatively through the bandages accelerates healing through releasing the memories of the surgery and pain, and organising subsequent healing. It unknots the local fascial body opening up lymph channels and significantly reduces lymphoedema. This is visible within 5 minutes of treatment. A craniosacral touch is best applied within 4 days of surgery through bandages to accelerate healing.

Geriatrics:

All 70+ seniors using a stick or frame to walk are partially ungrounded with their soul retreating up to their 3rd or 4th chakra affecting their balance, proprioception making them totter, leaning forward afraid of falling. Nightly stillpoint through the feet by their partner or twice monthly chakra activation releasing fear from their kidneys results in about 20% learning to walk unaided again simply because they are fully grounded within their 1st chakras.

After any anesthetic over 15 minutes any 75+ senior will experience soul retreat up to the 5th or 6th chakra leaving them frightened, disorientated, exhausted with a racing heart, difficulty sleeping and constipation slowing their rate of recovery. A single visceral release of fear from their kidneys, terror from their pancreas and horror from their heart within 48 hours of geriatric surgery accelerates recovery and full mobility by 35%.

Leg ulcers in seniors from poor circulation, frail skin, vitamin c and zinc deficiency, and heart disease can be treated with local release of lymphatic tension around the weeping ulcer doubling the speed of healing.

Neonates:

The soul in a neonate is rarely present lower than the 4th chakra in premature babies earlier than 38 weeks resulting in neonates from the ages of 23 weeks to 38 weeks being in a continual state of terror, finding sleeping, resting, relaxing, absorbing nutrition, healing and growing 5x harder than a fully gestated baby.

What's vital here is for nurses, mothers and surgeons to attempt to ground the terrified premature baby through maintaining touch to their tiny feet for a minimum of 3 minutes 4 times a day to ground and reassure them. This simple bonding technique triples the rate of recovery and increases weight gain by 1.5x in neonates under 34 weeks.

Tissue release of trauma from venflons, surgery etc by craniosacral therapy trained nursing staff has a huge impact on terrified neonates removing 2/3 of their pain and accelerating wound healing.

1 finger visceral release of fear from the kidneys and terror from the pancreas calms 2/3 of fretful neonates under 34 weeks reducing risks of complications by 1/4.

Orthopaedic Surgery:

Craniosacral therapy reduces post operative bone pain by about 25% if given within 3 days through bandages. It cannot be given through plaster or during traction. It reduces bone pain from screws, plates, artificial joints etc, causing tissue to relax and organise for healing faster. It accelerates bone repair by about 15% and stabilises multiple fractures.

In knee and hip replacements it decreases pain, relaxes the fascia and muscles, and opens up the tangled lymph channels decreasing post operative lymphoedema. This results in immediate increase in flexibility and visible decrease in lymphoedema within 10 minutes. This release of surgical trauma is best done within 5 days of surgery, but signicant improvements in flexibilty and pain levels can still be made with a craniosacral release up to 6 months after surgery.

After casts are taken off a single craniosacral treatment to the injury site and hand or foot cuts subsequent physiotherapy by 7/8 simply by releasing the memory of trauma and allowing a limb to unravel through a healing cycle.

Psychotherapy:

Deep emotions of terror, fear, anxiety attacks, past life experiences, emotional cysts of pain, rage, and hatred can be permanently released both through craniosacral therapy and visceral release accelerating progress through psychotherapy of deep trauma.

Post traumatic stress disorder clients have huge amounts of fear stored in both kidneys, terror stored in their pancreas, horror stored in their heart and premonitions of death stored in their sphenoid, leaving them spaced out, ungrounded in their 7th chakras, unable to sleep or relax and disabled for years. One single treatment of visceral release and chakra activation can cure 2/3 of post traumatic stress disorder symptoms resulting in the client needing 1/50 of the amount of supportive psychotherapy.

Sports Injuries:

Craniosacral therapy really should be offered as first line treatment before any physiotherapy to release as much stored shock and pain as possible and organise healing. Otherwise you have no idea what level of pain and swelling there really is beneath the surface without the additional effect of tissue memory causing further swelling and pain.

Transplants:

If visceral release of tissue memory of surgery is given within 72 hours of organ transplants it reduces by 1/3 the risks of organ rejection. In kidney and heart transplants you are transplanting chakra organs and its highly important that these chakras are reactivated within 7 days of surgery to allow the soul to fully re enter the body and accept the foreign tissue rather than mobilise an immune response against it.

Trauma:

Trauma such as bullet and knife wounds, bomb blasts, punches etc are terrifying to a patient and have a huge impact on the entire fascial body causing it to overtighten in horror around the injury site. This causes major restriction and pain, and an underlying profound loss of energy.

Craniosacral/visceral therapy can release the shock of this attack in one session, improving sleep, eradicating pain, and increasing flexibility. It was used extensively after twin towers to treat injuries, emotionally release shock and ground survivors. It should be routinely offered to all major trauma victims before psychotherapy to calm and ground them again.

These are just some examples of how craniosacral therapy can be used in modern western medicine, but its going to mean doctors, surgeons, nurses, physiotherapists, psychotherapists etc eventually being trained in this groundbreaking new form of healing touch. What suprises me is that it is as yet poorly used in private medicine despite these wideranging benefits.
