I began receiving craniosacral therapy treatments on a weekly basis in an attempt to help my uncontrollable seizure disorder. Before the treatments, I was averaging 6 grand mal seizures a week. The treatments are very subtle, and it is hard to believe there is any therapeutic value. Craniosacral Therapy is based on the notion that the cranium is composed of smaller bones that can be palpated by those with sensitive hands. The cranium and spine makes up the basis of life, and if there is blockage(physical or emotional), the body will not be able to operate properly. By enabling the fluid to flow in and between the head and spine, the body can often times heal.

I do want to stress that it takes a practicioner with sensitive hands, well, one that has the gift in order for this treatment to work. I felt the changes right away, after and during my treatments. There were times that I cried, without knowing why. It was releases within me, things I had stored in my memories, as well as in my body. Being as I believe illness is a product of things we have held onto in our bodies, I was able to work through issues that allowed the craniosacral therapy to have even more of an impact. My seizures were initially reduced to 2 grand mal seizures a week, and as of now, I have been seizure free for over 10 years, without any anti-convulsant medications.

Even if you are a skeptic, I urge you to give Craniosacral Therapy a try. There are no contraindications for this therapy, and it can only help. Not only is it good for epileptics, there are numerous other illnesses and problems that are diminished and even banished by the treatment’s magic.
