Kundalini experience/Covering the head

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam, Jis,

 

Any KY teachers who are also massage therapists/bodyworkers and can

address this issue of cranial adjustment by wearing a head covering?

 

I was taught that the cranial plates on the sides of the skull are

designed to move, and to move rhythmically back and forth in sync with

each other, and that it's not healthy for them NOT to move, ie., to be

held in place by a head covering.

 

" Normally, the production and reabsorption of the Cerebrospinal Fluid

within the Dura Mater [of the Craniosacral System] produces a continuous

rise and fall of fluid pressure within the Craniosacral System. The

semi-closed hydraulic system expands and contracts to some extent with

this rhythmical pressure fluctuation. This volumetric accomodation

prevents pressure from building up too much within the Craniosacral

System. If for some reason your body is unable to accomodate these

pressure changes, the subsequent buildup of pressure can contribute to

dysfunction and ill health, especially in the Central Nervous System

which is enclosed within the boundaries of the Craniosacral System. " --

from CranioSacral Therapy I Study Guide, by The Upledger Institute

 

I have long been puzzled by this idea that the cranial bones/plates

should be held in place by a head covering. I've asked many massage

thereapists and chiropractors about it, and everyone I've talked to so

far says the exact opposite: that the plates should be free to move,

that a large part of craniosacral therapy involves facilitating the free

and rhythmic movement of these plates, and that it's counter-productive

to attempt to hold them in place.

 

I would really appreciate it if someone could explain the " KY view " from

an anatomical and physiological perspective, so that I could perhaps see

it differently.

 

Thanks!

enables you to command your sixth center, the Agia Chakra. Covering the

head stabilizes the cerebral matter and the twenty-six parts of the

brain which are interlocked with the neurological system and

electromagnetic field. Covering the head creates a focus of the

functional circuit of the hemispheres, and tunes the neurological

system. The whole head is to be covered, not just the Crown Chakra. Any

head covering that covers your whole head is acceptable; white natural

fabric is ideal.

layers of cloth, you cover the temples which prevents any variance or

movement in the different parts of the skull. A turban automatically

gives you a cranial self-adjustment. " -
