Experience a Session

Tibetan Cranial, was historically transmitted in a monastic environment in Tibet. The oral tradition has been passed directly from teacher to apprentice over thousands of years. It is a body based practice which involves a critical perception of numerous pulses. It is a disciplined approach designed to re-align and restore our inherent capacity for self healing. It carries the potential of transformation for all aspects of the human experience.

The result of even one session continues long after it has been completed. However, depending on a person’s condition, multiple sessions and periodic “tune ups” may be recommended to fully integrate subtle body structures. The beauty of this work is its ability to assist the body in correcting its own imbalances. It reminds the body that it can indeed heal itself. A TC practitioner optimally facilitates this process.

To assure the preservation and purity of this remarkable modality, Shar Lee, Master of TC and the lineage holder in the West, has formed a non-profit Tibetan Cranial Association. Tibetan Cranial nearly became extinct during the Chinese invasion of Tibet, and we are now dedicated to ensuring this incredible work is passed on to future generations.

Most of the TC session is a silent exchange which takes place between you and the practitioner. This interaction requires comprehensive perception on the part of the practitioner as s/he listens carefully to your body’s communication via subtle pulses.

The Practitioner kneels at the end of the table above the client’s head. At various times, the practitioner moves to the client’s head, hands, middle torso or feet to assess pulses. Then adjustments are made to the skull, face, mouth, jaw and neck.

TC takes place in a quiet setting. Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended. You will be asked to remove your shoes and recline on a table specifically designed for TC. The practitioner kneels on the floor at your head, a position that allows for ideal facilitation of the work.

The practitioner will continue taking subtle pulse readings, touching vital points on the skull, wrist, and ankles. As pulse readings are repeated, further changes are made until optimum balance is achieved.

Throughout each session, the practitioner continues to hold an internal sacred space of prayer or mantra. Then the work is sealed, followed by a period of quiet relaxation. This process allows for full integration to take place.

Experiences vary according to the condition of each individual, and from treatment to treatment. For example, some people sleep several hours after a session, reporting a sense of profound relaxation. Others enjoy a significant increase in energy. You might fall asleep on the table or feel the need to talk about emotions or memories as they arise. Children often say that their head feels like a balloon, which visually describes the experience of spaciousness after the release of compression.

Because TC promotes the body’s innate and remarkable capacity for self-healing, a “reorganization” process may occur as your body adapts to the release of previously held patterns. A reduction in pain or increase in overall functioning may occur immediately after a session, or may develop gradually within a few days. Generally, most people experience a profound state of well-being.
