I love this moment with this sweet mare. She trusted me enough to settle into a more parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) state. She was still very much aware of her surroundings, but instead of allowing stimulation to keep her in a heightened “fight or flight” response, she chose to come back to me for more craniosacral work.
Craniosacral therapy aims to help reduce tension of the skull and cranial sutures, and support natural flow of cerebrospinal fluid that is vital to the nervous system function.
Cerebrospinal fluid surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord, transports nutrients, and removes waste products. It acts like a highway for nourishment and communication within the central nervous system.
Craniosacral therapy may help create an environment where the nervous system can function more efficiently - less on edge, anxiety, and nervousness, while improving the ability to rest and recover.
