Today is a special day for me, having graduated from Jim Green's Craniosacral Therapy (CST) Practical Integration Course.
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle touch therapy, developed by
osteopathic physician John Upledger. CST
uses very soft touch which weighs less than the 2004 edition of the Philippine
peso (5.35 grams). What CST does is to
improve the functioning of the central nervous system- by releasing any
restrictions which impede the smooth flow of cerebrospinal fluid protecting
your brain and spinal cord.
CST stimulates the body’s natural healing ability and is
good for a wide range of medical and psychiatric conditions, such as:
* Migraine headaches
* Chronic neck and back pain
* Scoliosis
* Central nervous system disorders
* Autism
* Learning Disabilities
* Emotional Difficulties
* Depression
* Anxiety and Panic Attacks
* Stress and Tension-related Problems
* Fibromyalgia
* Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Jim Green and me. It was an honor to be taught by
the Albert Einstein of Craniosacral Therapy.
We had the privilege of being taught by Mr. Jim Green who
provided us with such high quality instruction and supervision. Even before the Upledger Institute was
established, Jim Green was already receiving training and supervision directly from
Dr. John Upledger himself. In fact, Jim
was the first CST practitioner to become certified by Dr. Upledger in
techniques level certification. In the
1990s, Jim taught more CST classes than Dr. Upledger did. He not only had the enviable pleasure of
working at the clinic alongside Dr. Upledger, but Jim and Dr. Upledger would
trade CST sessions on each other on a regular basis. These days, Jim Green with his wife Regina
travels all over Europe, America, and Asia teaching CST.
My classmates and I rewarded Jim Green with the healthiest
of Pinoy food: bulalo, chicharon, sisig, etc. Next time he comes
back, we'll force feed him on a diet of IUD, betamax, adidas,
helmet, walkman, tokneneng, and kwek-kwek.
Thank you Jim for your generosity in sharing with us what
you know, and for wanting us to become the best CST practitioners possible.
