Craniosacral therapy (CST) has become an important modality in treating
trauma and promoting wellness. With its gentle approach to working with
the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia,
CST has proven equally useful for physical therapists, massage
therapists, naturopaths, chiropractors, and osteopaths. One reason for
its success has been its underlying theory, as explained by CST pioneer
John Upledger. According to Upledger, bodily tissues and cells have
individual memories, and traumatic memories can be stored in these cells
and tissues. Cell Talk, written for the layperson, explores this
concept in depth and shows practitioners how to use it in healing their
patients.
The book offers simple strategies for treating disease and dysfunction
by communicating with these cells to uncover the memories and then
follow the healing path they suggest. Upledger blends the scientific
aspects of cell biology with insights into the nature of inner
consciousness, in the process uncovering the deep links between
physiology, energy, health, and healing. Fascinating case studies--from
people rescued from serious ailments to "talking" with AIDS cells--show
how these ideas can be turned into useful medical treatment. Fascinating
anecdotes from the author's personal and work life add an intimate,
human touch to this helpful book.
