Hi again,

Thanks for the reply. Elisabeth, could you say more about what
exactly getting recentered entailed for you? Where I live, there
aren't many practictioners--so I may need to try to recenter myself
somehow-- any information about what happened to you would be most
welcome :)

About the spinning itself--I have no idea what technique was being
used, but her hands were around my eye regions. I started feeling a
slow spin--definitely on an axis, maybe of about 15 degrees, but it's
hard to say. When the spin began, I was very aware of becoming
acutely conscious of only my left eye as the rest of my body
disappeared. Then the spin (I think clockwise, but again, hard to
say) got insanely fast. I tried to stay with it, but ultimately
couldn't.

I asked my practitioner afterwards and she said it was a release. I
don't know what her skill level is, but she seems to know what's she's
doing and I have been feeling very good since I started the
treatments.

My understanding of cranio sacral therapy thus far is that there is no
such thing as a 'bad" practitioner. Only levels of increasing
competence.

I plan on continuing with the therapy and ultimately training to do
it, since it has been so helpful for me. So I am very curious about
what the gauge is for a skilled practitioner? Or, since that may be
difficult to pin down, what adverse effects are ever possible with
this stuff?

thanks again!
