Relational touch  - the quality of the practitioner’s touch sets the scene in which the client can experience safety, perhaps for the first time in her or his life. Relational touch is compassionate and without judgement, it signals unconditional acceptance of the client.

Diagnostic touch – reading the ‘nuances of the tide’ is a key skill for cranial practitioners. Tidal motions of fluids and tissues carry the imprints of individual experience. Listening hands can recognise these patterns of experience but also the deeper felt sense of that experience. This often carries an emotional charge but also the meaning of this experience from the past and how it impacts the client’s life in the present.

Therapeutic touch – simply hearing the story told by the body through our ‘listening hands’ can have a deep healing effect.  In this seminar we will revisit the subtle territory between ‘doing’ and ‘not doing’ and experiment with ‘touching beyond listening’.
