In the quest for holistic healing, we often find ourselves seeking the perfect blend of ancient wisdom and modern techniques. Acu-Cranio Therapy (ACT) is precisely that, a remarkable combination of Acupuncture and Craniosacral therapy. This fusion of healing modalities embraces the profound interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, unlocking the body’s innate capacity for self-healing. ACT is designed to alleviate stress, anxiety, emotional pain, and bodily sickness, offering a transformative pathway to wellbeing. In this blog post, we will delve into ACT, exploring how it aligns energies and creates a space for personal transformation.
What is the origin of ACT?
ACT is a specialised offering available exclusively at Selph, a result of the combined expertise of two highly skilled practitioners, Eamon (a TCM Acupuncturist) and Evelyn (Craniosacral Facilitator).
Together, they seamlessly merge their knowledge to craft a collaborative and transformative therapy.
What Happens In A Session?
From the moment you step into their serene space, you’re welcomed with warmth and a commitment to making you as comfortable as possible. Eamon and Evelyn invite you to communicate your feelings and concerns, as they believe in facilitating an environment where you can fully benefit from the experience.
The session starts with you lying on your back, where Eamon, rooted in Chinese Medicine principles, checks your body and energy flow, much like in an acupuncture session. He carefully assesses your pulse, identifying any underlying imbalances. Simultaneously, Evelyn focuses on the craniosacral rhythm, observing its amplitude and flow.
During this session, Evelyn uses delicate craniosacral techniques to tap into the fascial system, while Eamon ensures your body feels supported by gently holding and using pins to access different meridian points. This synchronised multi-hand approach allows you to immerse yourself in a deeply transformative experience, as both practitioners amplify the power of their respective modalities.
To further establish grounding, Eamon selects four essential points, often located in areas like the hands, forearms, feet, and ankles. These points play a pivotal role as both practitioners continue their multi-hand approach.
“We’re monitoring therapeutic releases in the body, like heat coming out, or cold coming out, gurgling belly, rapid eye movement. All these are therapeutic releases, allowing us to know that the changes are affecting the nervous system” Evelyn Stavrinidis
The Transformative Power of ACT
ACT doesn’t just address physical symptoms, it also creates space for guided exploration, a meditative experience that follows the sensations and thoughts that arise within you. During this dynamic process, Eamon and Evelyn address these physical manifestations while monitoring therapeutic releases such as heat, cold, belly gurgling, and even rapid eye movements. These signs indicate changes occurring at various levels, including ancestral connections, and contribute harmoniously towards balancing jing (essence), shen (spirit), and qi (energy).
“It’s kind of like a guided meditation experience, you’ll start to feel the mind wander in certain directions, you’ll feel the body kick into gear and we essentially go where the new sensation is, where the thought is so if it’s on a thought journey like I’m thinking of my childhood or someone came through or like thinking about work a lot, we will feel that change physically within the pulse or the body, it’s almost like you think of work and your body tightens up and seizes, it’s a abysmal response to this thought, to this emotion, to this experience, so lets go there, let’s dive in, with your permission and then we flow with that. It’s a very dynamic process” Eamon O’Connor
