The Still Point

In cranial sacral therapy the still point occurs when the body goes in to a state of apparent “non-activity” – a place of stillness. In this stillness, however, a subtle undercurrent of true healing activity is taking place and the opportunity for a shift into balance is available. A “healing pulse” shows up in the still point, and often the heat of a stored energy block is released. Emotional energies from the tissue are liberated and the cells, muscles and surrounding area settle into a new place of being. The body has natural healing processes that cranial sacral (and other therapies) can address and stimulate, and during a therapeutic session there is constant changing and shifting occurring as a result. While a healing process is initiated true resolution of an issue or issues occurs during a still point. The still point can happen several times during a session or might happen just once, but if there is a still point present a healing resolution has generally occurred.

Still points are notjust reserved for cranial sacral therapy sessions; you can also find them in nature and in your everyday life. For example, you can find still points in a river whirlpool/vortex. As the water curls around the rocks in areas of white water or eddies at the edge of the river you will see this whirlpool effect. If you watch closely you will also see the swirl move in the opposite direction as an anti vortex. The center point between the two swirling vortexes is the point of inertia where the movement appears to slow down.

There is a balance between the vortexes found here and the motion in opposite directions cancels out the other creating this lack of motion. This is very similar to a still point in cranial sacral therapy. When white water kayaking this “still point” is where you can “surf,” where you can sit in the place of inertia where the two currents cancel each other out. When watching for vortexes in nature see if you can find this mid-point in the currents and witness the stillness. In that moment search for your own internal rhythm; find and match the stillness in your own being.

The still point can also apply to human activities.  Within our own lives we create vortexes (and sometimes tornadoes). Withinthese whirlwinds of activities there are still points available to us. There is aplace of calm waiting for us in EVERY life situation. Within those still pointsare found the opportunities for healing of our life issues. It is in the still place that all possibilities are available. In the stillness one can discover a new connection to the divine or the source. This is where the wisdom shows up and reveals the nuances of change that can lead to healing.

So look around you, where are the still points in your life? What whirlwinds are you creating for yourself and are there still points that you are overlooking? If you can’t see it, go to nature and witness the stillness there, let it remind you and nudge you. When you find that still point in your life’s activities, stay with it for a moment or two, the answers and the path to healing are waiting there for you.

In person sessions are approximately 45 minutes in length, telephone sessions are 20 - 45 minutes.
