Reasons people sought Craniosacral Biodynamics, Summer 2023

I compile a seasonal summary of the types of issues that my Craniosacral Biodynamics clients have sought my therapeutic help with. Creating these lists reminds me of the wide range of issues that respond to Biodynamics.

Craniosacral Biodynamics works with the body-mind-energy system’s rhythms, patterns, and physiology from the inside out in these ways:

  • deepening the parasympathetic relaxed state in which healing occurs
  • strengthening the coherence of the internal systems (nervous, digestive, etc.), improving regulation
  • facilitating the system’s ability to heal, thus increasing overall health

The list below is for sessions given between early July and September 15. Some clients had multiple issues, and in some cases, multiple clients experienced the same issue.

How can Biodynamics help with well-being?

For a year now, I’ve been summarizing the reasons people have sought Craniosacral Biodynamics from me and felt better afterwards.

The range is wide.

That may be surprising, but if you understand how it works, it makes sense.

Our systems at all times try to maintain homeostasis.

Picture your body as having many systems — digestive, endocrine, nervous, immune, etc. — that have individual functions but also work in harmony with each other to maintain your well-being.

Every hour of every day, your body is working to keep these systems operating harmoniously.

And yet, things happen that can impair the functioning of your systems: illness, stress, injury, insomnia, exposure to toxins, trauma, etc. Life brings challenges, and homeostasis — while still working to harmonize your systems — doesn’t always function optimally.

If your systems are functioning well, you are resilient, recover from challenges, and return to high-functioning homeostasis.

If you experience too many challenges too close together, or too severe a challenge, your homeostasis doesn’t just automatically bounce back to good health. Although it’s still trying its best to keep your systems working harmoniously, it can be a real struggle to recover.

This is where Craniosacral Biodynamics helps. It improves coherence, which allows your wholeness to reset in the direction of optimal homeostasis.

Those who receive Craniosacral Biodynamics sessions report feeling more relaxed after a session, sleeping better, and feeling more whole. Their symptoms lessen, and their well-being increases. Their homeostasis shifts toward coherence and greater health.

Regular sessions (every 2, 3, or 4 weeks) work cumulatively over time to increase your sense of coherence and well-being.

This is why Craniosacral Biodynamics works well with integrative medicine, which focuses on treating the whole person to improve well-being.

This is why I’m grateful to work with the practitioners at West Holistic Medicine in downtown Austin, as well as in my private practice in West Lake Hills.
