CranioSacral Therapy: What It Is, How It Works by John E Upledger

CranioSacral Therapy: What It Is, How It Works by John E Upledger

With the troubling side effects and surging costs of medications and surgery, Americans are increasingly turning to CranioSacral Therapy as an effective, drug-free, and non-invasive therapy. A gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system -- the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord -- CST boosts the body's natural healing processes and has proven efficacious for a wide range of medical problems from migraines, learning disabilities, and post-traumatic stress disorder to fibromyalgia, chronic neck and back pain, and TMJ. This book provides a broad introduction to this therapy by way of short pieces written by a number of well-known practitioners or experts. In addition to pioneer John E. Upledger, contributors include Richard Grossinger (Planet Medicine), Don Ash (Lessons from the Sessions), Don Cohen (An Introduction to Craniosacral Therapy), and Bill Gottlieb (Alternative Cures). Each selection covers a different aspect of CST: what it is, what it does, how it heals, what the practitioner does during a CST session, CST's relationship to cranial osteopathy and other healing therapies, as well as other topics of interest to the beginner.

Richard Grossinger is the founder and former publisher of North Atlantic Books, as well as a founding copublisher of Io, a seminal multidisciplinary literary journal that ran from 1964 to 1993. He is also the curator of Sacred Planet Books and a member of the Inner Traditions editorial board. He went to Amherst College and the University of Michigan for his PhD in ecological anthropology. Dark Pool of Light: Reality and Consciousness, The Night Sky: Soul and Cosmos, and Bottoming Out the Universe are among his more than 30 critically praised publications on alternative medicine, cosmology, embryology, and consciousness. Grossinger continues his long-standing publishing aptitude for building deep co-creative partnerships with authors through the Sacred Planet collection, published under the Inner Traditions family of imprints. Dreams and symbols, t'ai chi ch'uan, craniosacral treatment, and the Sethian system of psychic energy taught by John Friedlander and Gloria Hemsher have been his main psychospiritual activities.

Climate, permaculture, alchemy, biological transformation, viral transmission, meta-politics, hyperobjects, spiritwalking, shapeshifting, the etheric realm, oracles, locutions, time travel, astrology, crystals, and subtle bodies are among the topics covered in Sacred Planet. Grossinger currently splits his time between Portland, Maine, and Berkeley, California.
