Craniosacral​ therapy treats the body system consisting of the membranes & cerebrospinal fluid that surround & protect the brain & spinal cord, creating what is basically a hydraulic suspension system for the heart of your central nervous system.

It is also preventive; by recognizing energy disruptions early, the energy problem can be corrected rather than allowed to progress until physical illness manifests. Energy medicine is a new field w/ ancient roots. Interwoven in energy balancing sessions are principles from disciplines such as acupuncture (no needles) , yoga, & qi gong. The practitioner works w/ major energy systems including the aura, chakras, meridians, strange flows, & the five rhythms. The flow of these energies of yours is influenced by tapping or connecting specific energy points on the skin; by tracing or swirling the hand over the skin along specific energy pathways; & through exercises or postures designed for specific energetic effects. In the initial energy assessment, as in follow-up assessments & balancing, you & your donna eden- trained practitioner will discover those energy systems which may be weak, disturbed, or out of balance. During the very first session, your therapist will work to make corrections to the flow & harmony as well as teach you self-help methods to maintain this balance at home. Other eden energy sessions available include these 1-hour sessions: chakra testing, clearing, & balancing; meridian flow testing & balancing; aura weaves & clearing; & relaxation/stress release. Also available is the half-hour energy express.You can use energy medicine to help treat illness & relieve pain, stimulate immune function, release stress, improve memory, enhance digestion, & cope w/ electromagnetic pollution.

The medium by which sound heals in relation to the body & its systems is the principle described in physics as sympathetic resonance. “Resonance” is the natural undampened frequency of any system whether you’re talking about the human body or a musical instrument the human body can incorporate, & in fact needs to move within, its natural frequency to attain & maintain a state of harmony & health. Music creates the vibration to resonate the body. In healing sounds & music there must be vibrations which are equal to the natural frequencies of the body - neither higher nor lower will have a healing effect. A healthy body resonates at its maximum potential because the symphony of its parts are in harmony. Emotional blockages & traumas are stored in the connective tissue of the body in the form of cell memory. These blockages are stored in such as way that they dampen the body’s natural resonating frequency. Just as a violin string will come to life when the identical note is struck on a piano, the body’s symphony will come alive when its music is played. With inner sound therapy, one tuning fork of pure sound (not harmonics) is placed at one ear then a second at the other to create the figure eight of energy, sometimes referenced in the edgar cayce information, throughout the body. The following wave of thirteen pure tones creates a spiral ascending through the body, then followed by a descending spiral to achieve balance. Physical & energetic pathways throughout the body are affected: connective tissue, acupuncture meridians, cerebrospinal fluid, & the nervous system. One may experience an overall sense of relaxation, as though tension has been unwound. Those of the fifty motifs specific to the individual's needed healing on physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual levels are addressed.
