CST uses light touch to release restrictions in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which can help balance the nervous system. The goal is to help the body's natural healing mechanisms work correctly.

Techniques
CST techniques include monitoring the body's cranial rhythm, assessing imbalances, and using light touch to encourage range of motion.

Benefits
CST can help relieve tension and may help other parts of the body function better. It can help with a variety of conditions, including migraines, anxiety, depression, and physical or emotional trauma.

Safety
CST is generally safe and comfortable, even for babies and the frail. However, people with severe bleeding disorders, aneurysms, or recent traumatic head injuries should not use CST.

Side Effects
The most common side effect of CST is mild discomfort that fades within 24 hours. Similar to what one would experience after a massage therapy session.

CST can be a holistic healing treatment that connects the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Spirituality involves exploring certain universal themes – love, compassion, altruism, life after death, wisdom and truth, with the knowledge that some people such as saints or enlightened individuals have achieved and manifested higher levels of development than the ordinary person.
