– January 31 & February 1 – NEW YORK – Elements: The Language of The Chakras
A Training in the Craniosacral Method
This intensive hands-on training offers an in-depth exploration of the Craniosacral method’s essence: its work with the body’s subtle energy system (especially as manifested in the chakras, meridians, and the aura), and its use of the ancient language of the 5 Elements (Ether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth) to illuminate the body’s energetic flows.
The too often taken-for-granted Craniosacral system (CSS) consists of the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It is at the heart of the body’s physiological and energetic organization and responsiveness, in a sense “tuning” all our nerve, connective tissue, organ, tissue, and fluid systems. By working with that fluid, one can modulate the energetic frequency of the body and achieve truly deep, core healing. Working with CSS is a highly effective way to nourish our key energy centers (chakras) and open and balance our energy channels (meridians).
