John E. Upledger

And the reason why it works is because the body innately knows where it needs to go in order to self-correct.

That's what Dr. Upledger called it, a self-correction mechanism.

So it's very, very difficult to take the body out of alignment.

You'd have to have like a motor vehicle accident or fall or something very extreme.

You may have already explained this, and maybe it's because I need to think clearer, but the technology, what is it actually doing in the device that's creating this response in the body?

Right.

So it's relying on the body's innate energy to self-correct, the way Dr. John Upledger used to put it.

It's relying on the body's own energy to balance.

I love craniosacral therapy.

So I'm an Upledger trained craniosacral therapist.

There's many different schools out there right now.

There's biodynamic craniosacral therapy, which is awesome in itself.

And I've been exploring that a little bit too, and I love it.

But then I'm a little bit more traditional Upledger trained.

So Upledger He was an osteopathic physician and around the 1970s, early 1970s, out of the University of Michigan, he started to discover that the body has this unique rhythm about it.

He was actually doing some surgery and he was holding a part of the brain in his hand and he couldn't keep it still.

I studied lots of different forms of body work.

I was a friend of John Upledger and took his courses when he was teaching craniosacral therapy early on.

And I've always had some peculiar thought that food had something to do with health.

And when I would ask my conventional GI colleagues that question, meaning, what do you think of the phrase, we are what we eat? They would laugh at me.

But actually, the more that, uh, you know ...

So in craniosacral work, I mean, sort of people like Upledger thought about it as it was craniosacral fl- uh, flow, and it was to do with the, the dura and to do with, uh, you know, the CSF flow.

But actually, his latter work, I think his final book, was Beyond the Dura, and he began to see it not as, no, this isn't necessarily just CSF flow.

This is an entire flow state within the body.

Learned how to do hands-on healing.

And then since then I've taken many Reiki courses, um, craniosacral, uh, therapy courses through the Upledger group, along with, uh, some emotional release, the avenue of expression, vocal toning, lots of different modalities, um, that are, that all basically work with energy, and that energy is the energy of love.

Love is the most powerful energy there is, and that's really what heals people.

So let's say you have pain in your shoulder, or you have somebody in front of you that has pain in their shoulder.
