Yesterday was day one of my class, The Brain Speaks. I don’t have a lot of time right now to give details (I need to leave in about 20 minutes) but here’s a quick look …

After introductions we spent the morning talking about cellular anatomy and physiology: Neurons, glial cells, organelles, neuronal impulse conduction, neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. We finished the lecture portion talking a lot about the circulation of the brain, specifically the Circle of Willis and the production and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid.

The format for most classes beyond CranioSacral Therapy II is that we get all the lecture material before our lunch break (usually somewhere around 12:00-1:00). When we return we work in groups of three giving sessions with the intention of adding into the session some of what we learned that morning. In the group of three, one person is the ‘client’ on the table receiving a session, one person is the therapist and the third is the assistant. The assistant is also using CranioSacral to work on the client in a way that supports what the lead therapist is working with. It’s a great opportunity to have multiple therapists during a treatment.

As the therapist, I was very fortunate to make contact with and have a discussion with my client’s Cerebrum and cerebrospinal fluid. It was really amazing. My assistant and I could notice an actual change in the client’s voice when the Cerebrum was talking. It was wild. And the change that we could feel in the client’s tissues was incredible.

Gotta run … Off to day 2!
