Touch Omaha Bodywork - Blog

September 18th & 19th, 2010       (9am-6pm & 9am-3pm respectively)

Simple and uncomplicated, this workshop, based on the core principles of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST), allows you to explore for yourself, the comforting and healing effect of Touch.

From the early to mid 1900’s Dr. William Garner Sutherland developed a system of bodywork we now know as Craniosacral Therapy.  I am currently offering a two day workshop designed to introduce you to the history and core concepts of the “Getting in Touch” model of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST), developed by Michael Boxhall, RCST, UK (www.stillness.co.uk).  Personally, I have found BCST, and specifically “Getting in Touch” to be the most accessible form of Dr. Sutherland’s work.

This is a fully clothed, hands-on course.  As a participant you will experience receiving and offering the work.  After each session there will be time set aside to discuss individual experiences.  Mike considers this to be an essential part of the work, and I absolutely agree; discussing your experience in both roles serves to deepen your experience, thereby deepening your awareness, understanding and healing of the mind/body unit.

The intention of “Getting in Touch” is to get in touch with Stillness.

“There is no suffering in stillness. There is an end to suffering in the reconnection with the centre. The function of healing therefore is to reestablish in the stillness.”  ~ M. Boxhall

The goal being to maintain awareness of the present moment and observe whatever arises without judgment, trusting the inherent intelligence, or life force of the body to direct the healing process.  This course allows you to discover for yourself the healing potential of being Present to Life.

Why you should listen to her:

One morning, a blood vessel in Jill Bolte Taylor’s brain exploded. As a brain scientist, she realized she had a ringside seat to her own stroke. She watched as her brain functions shut down one by one: motion, speech, memory, self-awareness …

Amazed to find herself alive, Taylor spent eight years recovering her ability to think, walk and talk. She has become a spokesperson for stroke recovery and for the possibility of coming back from brain injury stronger than before. In her case, although the stroke damaged the left side of her brain, her recovery unleashed a torrent of creative energy from her right. From her home base in Indiana, she now travels the country on behalf of the Harvard Brain Bank as the “Singin’ Scientist.”

“How many brain scientists have been able to study the brain from the inside out? I’ve gotten as much out of this experience of losing my left mind as I have in my entire academic career.”
