Osho Craniosacral Therapy/ Sometoemotional Release Therapy
CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
Migraine Headaches
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Motor-Coordination Impairments
Colic
Autism
Central Nervous System Disorders
Orthopedic Problems
Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
Scoliosis
Infantile Disorders
Learning Disabilities

Hara Awareness Therapy
At the Hara, the cosmic life energy, known in the East as Chi, enters the body. Lying four finger widths below the navel, it is our Centre, connecting us with our natural, original source of cosmic life energy and silence. When we lose this connection we feel rootless, and lack direction in life.
Hara Awareness Massage is a gentle way towards this Centre. Tensions in the abdomen are released, allowing the whole body’s energy to flow again.
At the Hara, strength, vitality and silence are united. The relaxed vitality and self-assurance of the tiger combined with the consciousness of the Buddha bestow genuine clarity, with which to live and act from the Centre. Through conscious touch and energy work, we clear from body and mind whatever is inhibiting us from reaching this natural source of our life energy. We find this treasure lying dormant within, and no longer need to seek recognition from without, from others.
Hara Awareness Massage integrates ancient eastern wisdom with western psychological understanding. Using various massage techniques applied with a soft, sensitive and conscious touch, contact with ones own inner Centre is established. That vast inner space is discovered, beyond all extremes and polarities, whence stillness, presence and body awareness arise. Consequently one is also able to meet the other from Centre to Centre in deep restfulness and meditation.
It begins with the back and includes pelvis and leg-work for grounding, and holding of energy points over the whole body, ending with energy work and soft massage on the Hara itself. |
