Bodyworkers and health professionals are known for having good palpation skills yet we sometimes lose our confidence in the subtler realms. How do we know we are really feeling what we think we feel? How do we get confirmation? How can we learn to trust our hands no matter what?
* This class is a required prerequisite for Craniosacral Therapy for Infants, Craniosacral Therapy for Pregnancy Birth & Postpartum and Craniosacral Therapy - The Basics. This requirement will be waved if you have already taken a CST class with Carol Gray.
This is a great class for people who have already taken one of my longer classes, but want more time to focus on the foundation skills.
This is also a great class for anyone who wants to learn great hands-on healing tools that are not anatomy specific and easily blended with any other modality. The tools taught in this class can also be used as an effective stand-alone healing practice.
Prerequisites: Students should be licensed, certified or student health professionals (CNM, CPM, DC, DO, IBCLC, LAc, LDEM, LM, LMT, MD, ND, NP, OT, PT, RN, etc.) or otherwise legally entitled to practice touch therapy or with instructor approval. It’s pretty easy to get instructor approval for this class. This is my entry-level class.
Overview: In an atmosphere of acceptance, support and open inquiry we will explore the sensitivity of our own hands. Using practical exercises we will help each other discover and refine our capabilities. We will learn how to assess, treat and restore subtle physical and energetic balance while we confirm for each other the authenticity of our experience. This is a great class for bodyworkers who have lost their way. In order to maximize learning success class enrollment is limited to no more than eight students - six in Portland.
By the end of this two-day class you should be able to:
Detect tiny things in the physical realm you didn’t realize you could feel
Experience subtle energies more keenly than before
Locate subtle physical restrictions in the body
Locate energetic restrictions in the body
Effectively address subtle physical, and energetic restrictions
Treat things the easy way with minimal “technique”
Work energetically from a neutral place
Construct and maintain a healthy energetic boundary
Trust your hands
*Because this is an experiential class there is no recommended reading list.
