Dynamic Body Balancing

Dynamic Body Balancing (DBB) techniques are grounded in the same in-depth cranialanatomy and physiology as other schools of training in CranioSacral Therapy.  With the addition of Myofascial Unwinding and Biofield Therapies, DBB has become a beautiful form of hands-on therapy that restores balance to the mind, body and spirit. The primary difference from other similar forms of work is the application.  In most cases, DBB techniques are performed with the client in the “position of injury”, which is primarily seated or standing.  Clients in these positions will quickly and actively allow their bodies to re-enact an injury and will move in a gentle dance with their facilitator as their tissues begin the process of restoring a state of balance and harmony within the cells of the body.  Emotions stored in every cell involved in the release are allowed to surface and the client is encouraged to “breathe out” the “molecules of emotion” that no longer serve them.

Spontaneously releasing negative emotional and physical energy patterns in a self-directed, sequential pattern will lead to a more permanent resolution of long term pain and dysfunction.  Removing the restrictions of gravity by initiating the release from an upright position accelerates the healing process. This saves the client time and money; something we all can appreciate.

Another difference in the DBB workshops is the additional training related to pregnancy and pediatric care. Drawing on 40 years of experience working with children and 20 years working with families during pregnancy, labor and delivery, Dr. Carol teaches the attendees various methods of injury prevention by adding the DBB techniques she has found to be effective in restoring balance to a child’s first home, the womb. Consequently, mothers and babies who receive this work experience a happier and easier pregnancy and birth experience.

Class Overview

LEVEL I
The goal of instruction at this beginning level is to help each participant understand the miraculous design and function of the fascial tissue (the transparent covering over every muscle, organ and bone in the body) and to learn how to “listen” to the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) communication cues emitted by the client’s body.  Participants activate their right brain and quiet the analytical left brain by performing didactic communication exercises that encourage partners to lead and to follow self-directed movements until their energy fields’ blend in a vibrational dance of symmetry and balance.  Molecules of emotion are released as each participant begins their own journey toward balance and harmony.

Students will complete Level I with the knowledge and skills necessary to facilitate a myofascial release of the client’s pelvis, lower extremities, torso, upper extremities and spinal canal.

LEVEL II
This level of training provides each participant with the knowledge of cranial anatomy necessary to combine a craniosacral protocol with the myofascial techniques they recently mastered in the Level I class. Each participant will create a skull on a balloon to be used as their first tactile experience in utilizing the cranial bones as handles to release the dural membranes and restore balance to the nervous system. Working from inanimate to live subjects, each participant will learn to balance the craniosacral system both with the client seated and supine.
In this class, we will go discuss the role of the Autonomic Nervous System so that each participant can recognize and explain common symptoms that people experience when their body is out of alignment and when balance is restored. This class will also introduce the concept of balancing the charka system so that every organ of the body receives the energy needed to function at his/her optimum potential.
