    What is Cranio-Balance Therapy?

    Gentle, non-invasive manual therapy enabling evaluation and enrichment of the physical body system known as the Cranial Sacral Mechanism. Cranio-Balance Therapy integrates various holistic therapies to create a unique method of treatment for the empowerment of the natural healing processes of the body. It has been shown to be effective in a wide range of medical ailments related to pain, dysfunction (including genetic, hereditary and trauma-related disabilities) and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).

    In the first course, ASP1, we introduce the “3-constituents of the body” model:

     

    • Bones and joints
    • Fascia / Soft / connective tissue
    • Cranial Wave

     

    We also learn how energy enters the body, the 3 types of intention and touch required to listen and treat each one of the body constituents.

     

    And finally, we dealt with the creation of a safe healing area.

     

    The course will be integrated together with mind-body practice to create a unique learning experience

    Quote for the Day

    I just received this email from William and I feel it summarizes our greatest wish for not only ourselves but also our students and clients. So go ahead and be extraordinarily your limitless Self.

    Dear Shmuel,

    This is one of my most favourite quotes – I think I’ll use it daily from now on:
    William
    When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary
    project, all your thoughts break their bounds: your mind transcends
    limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find
    yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and
    talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far
    than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
    Patanjali

    Latest News: 1) Summary of ASP3 2) New Cranial Balance Pediatrics Course to be Offered 3) Free Cranial Infant Screening Karmiel, October 9, 2009

    Last week, CHI taught Level 3 of The Art of Subtle Palpation in Shlomi to 4 of our advanced students.Through presentations, demos, meditations, and plenty of hands on practice, we delved into the anatomy, structure, and energetics of the bones and sutures of the mouth and face. In addition, we integrated the Cranial Wave as the “voice of the Soul ” with tissue unwinding. Finally, we learned and practiced Cranial Diagnostics to objectively quantify our findings and applying it into clinical practice.

    Due to popular demand we will be offering a 3 Day Course in Cranial Balance Pediatrics to be held in Karmiel at the Derech HaTeva Health Center of Shai Ben Nun, October 7-10. The first two days will be classroom instruction and demo. The final day we will be offering free Cranial screenings to infants at Shai’s center and course participants will be able to first hand assist and observe Stuart and William in a clinical setting.

    ASP2 in Shlomi “A Spiritual and Uplifting Experience”

    Shalom, Shmuel!
    Thank you and William for the course, it was great. We really had cranio-sacral and we did have some experience. You are right – to learn this material for several hours once a week for several months wouldn’t work. You really need to leave the world behind and to get into the experience of giving and receiving craniosacral therapy. It’s a very spiritual and uplifting  experience.
    I think that most of my patients in ICU started to develop little imbalances in their bodies, however, medical doctors don’t have the tools to recognize  them . If we don’t get little hints, we get hit harder . I have learned from the course that Craniosacral can be done for everyone to predict and prevent physical  health and psychological problems. It’s  very delicate work that can determine the  root of many health problems.
    I had a very interesting experience working with the  Sphenoid bone – when I was doing the unwinding on the  sphenoid of my client, I had a feeling like somebody’s hands were on my sphenoid and they were directing the movements of my arms on the Sphenoid of the client. That was really a strange and interesting experience.
    So if there will be the third course on 18/08/09, I will be happy to come again to Shlomi, beezrat Hashem.

    Hope to see you soon,
    Asher Levine,RN Bnei Brak
