This moment, now, is where everything happens. Presence, in Biodynamic craniosacral therapy is a fundamental quality that we bring to the treatment session.

We can of course continue to live at a distance from ourselves, but it’s painful and fearful. The call to wholeness is like a howl in the wind, it pricks up the ears, it frightens us but at the same time calls to us, back to something more basic and wild, to a birthright of integrity.

How would it be if we thought of our symptoms as essential and life affirming, like the wind is to the tree? Maybe we could frame our discomforts as benevolent sirens calling us to wholeness, each of which point to a part of ourselves that we need to pay attention to in order to understand and integrate.

Love is the means whereby all needs are met

It’s the love that’s woven into the fabric of approval, connection and validation that we’re really after.

The rise of all kinds of long term health conditions is undeniable and hard to ignore. The prevalence of syndromes like CFS/ME, fibromyalgia, post viral fatigue and autoimmune dysfunctions are among those conditions that the healthcare system is struggling to address.

One of the things I try to do in the clinic is encourage and help my clients to begin a personal practice. This means dedicating regular, structured time every day in which which the basic building blocks of healing are practiced.

I’ve been reading a lot of material by Gabor Mate recently, he’s is one of those writers/educators that really has a gift to explain complex ideas in a way that makes it easy to grasp.

I’ve come to be very interested in the concept of agency recently. I think it’s one of those terms that means different things depending on the context. But in relation to health and healing, I take it to mean something about having the realisation that we are in fact capable of and responsible for, making the decisions that can move us into that place of healing.

The spiritual path and the path to health are both concepts that probably hold different meanings to all of us. Both are concerned with the relationships to self, to others, to the environment and ultimately to whatever metaphysical belief you hold.
