About thirteen years ago I started doing craniosacral therapy sessions remotely at the request of a friend in Israel who was dealing with a serious health crisis and asked for healing support. In the beginning I was at a loss on how to begin and just experimented with tuning into his system and doing my usual craniosacral perceiving and palpation from a distance, hoping it might be helpful. I was skeptical but willing. Since then I have had hundreds of experiences of giving powerful and undeniably helpful distance craniosacral therapy sessions. These firsthand experiences have gradually built a solid sense of trust within my own mind that it is actually possible to impact another person’s electromagnetic field (and therefore his or her fluid and tissue body as well) from a distance.

In understanding this phenomenon, I have had to draw on and expand my awareness of quantum interrelationships that underlie the world we live in and stretch my understanding of time and space relationships and the reality of non-local impacts of consciousness….”Within quantum physics it is now well established that there is a universal field (Higgs 1964) within which everything exists and interacts - every galaxy, star, planet, solid object, living being, molecule, atom, subatomic particle - guided by the electro-magnetic and other fundamental forces which underlie all interactions throughout the universe.

Distance sessions are a wonderful way for clients to receive craniosacral therapy if they have mobility challenges, are not in the same location as the therapist, simply feel more comfortable in their own home, or for any other reason. Clients who have been seen in-person and via distance craniosacral Therapy sessions report that distance sessions feel just like in-person sessions. They report feeling structural changes and movements of body tissues during the distance session just as they had when receiving an in-person session. The body’s self-healing mechanism can manifest as release of heat, vibration, pulsing, movement of tissues, sudden recollection of an old injury, stomach gurgling, slight jerking movements, long exhalations, etc. Whatever the reason clients have chosen distance craniosacral therapy, clients report changes at the same pace, or often an increased rate of change from their in-person sessions. Having additional time after the session to integrate/process the changes (without having to get up, get into the car, drive home, etc.) has shown to be a very powerful and beneficial advantage of distance sessions.

It is recommended to schedule a time when you are able to relax during your session in a quiet, private setting. You may choose to sit or lie down, whichever is more comfortable, and simply relax. Clients often become very tranquil and peaceful. Quantum science shows that each of us are part of numerous biomagnetic fields of varying intensity, and that each of us is an integral part of the wider universal electro-magnetic field. Quantum science also demonstrates that everything, every person, every subatomic particle, is connected in a time-space continuum. In Quantum science this is known as non-locality.

Quantum science therefore shows us that we can connect with anyone or anything, anywhere in the universe - and what determines that connection is our focus of attention, our consciousness.

So while craniosacral Integration is very clearly working with the anatomy and physiology of the physical body, we can also do this at a distance.

Support at any time and in any locality:

Distance craniosacral integration is a very valuable resource at any time in day-to-day practice. It is particularly helpful for treating babies and children, for those who are house-bound or who have limited mobility and are unable to visit a clinic, for accidents, illness or trauma while abroad without direct access to a therapist, for supporting patients between hands-on sessions, etc.

Insights:

The great sufi poet Rumi said, “You are not a drop of water in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop.”

The great theoretical physicist John Archibold Wheeler said, “No point is more central than this…that empty space is not empty. It is the seat of the most violent physics.”

“It is fascinating to realize that if you remove the empty space in every atom in every human being on the planet and compress it all together all of humanity would fit into the size of a sugar cube.…..this helps us to visualize the importance of understanding that every one of us are made of mostly empty space.”

“Regardless of race, color or religion, we are all individual beings yet this dynamic energy of the universe is constantly flowing through all of the space inside each one of our atoms, connecting us all.”

You can literally feel the force of the universe inside you, and flowing through you, connecting you to everything because you are a part of everything through this dynamic energy.”

And the great theoretical physicist David Bohm said, “Space is not empty. The universe is not separate from this cosmic sea of energy”

Albert Einstein said “Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended, as fields. In this way the concept “empty space” loses its meaning.”

And finally Tesla…” We need to think of the universe as energy, frequency and vibration…not as solid physical forms.”
