How we accompany the Traveler during the Session
For us in the Neo-CranioSacral Therapy doesn't exist the terms like Patient, Disease or Therapist / Practitioner but instead of exist the terms Traveller, her/his Theme and the Companion.
During a session of Neo-CranioSacral Therapy, you lay down on the massage table dressed. The gentle touch on the body sends the message "I accept your truth and I am here to listen to you" . This ιντεντιον helps the relaxation and promotes the trust. By the way Hippocrates the famous ancient Greek Physician, said that deep relaxation promotes greatly the healing process.Neo-CranioSacral Therapy can be applied to Baby's since after delivery, children, adults and at every kind of disease and pains people are suffering from.
A gentle touch of less than 5 gr. though, is just enough to encourage the body awakening its self-healing potential. It is just enough for the body to feel acceptance and compassion. It loosens up from the fear of intrusion. It takes the message that the hands are companions; there is no rush, so that the body itself now will decide whether it is time to take a step to gain balance.
This is a very timely process for the body.
Neo-Craniosacral Therapy, in comparison to other therapeutic methods and even the classic CranioSacral Therapy, is not intervening, nor pressing to achieve a result, or correction of the body. On the contrary the practitioner/Companion is going along on the path that the body chooses to take during the session. We follow the "invitation" of the body's need to get free from burdens and traumas. The body will decide and not we the Practioners/Companions, what will happen during the session, what issues will be tackled, how deep the journey of the Traveller will be.
We are sorry to discover that in our country Greece, as in some other as well , CranioSacral therapy is practised like a physiotherapist approachh where the therapist acts and fixes the problem of the patients body and needs a lot of sessions for that.
