In today's meditation Michael Shea leads us through a practice to soften the hands. Rigidity in the hands prevents us from accurately feeling the subtleties of cranial respiration, so this is a great exercise for both new and experienced practitioners.

Annie came to the holistic health field via an unlikely route… she started out as a Biologist and then a Lawyer, before starting a family and deciding that she wanted a gentler and more fundamentally fulfilling career.  A stubborn rugby injury that didn’t improve with extensive physiotherapy led her to discover the wonders of craniosacral therapy and begin training in the modality in 2009. She now runs a clinical practice and mentors new therapists.
