A Simple and Easy-to-Understand Explanation of Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

A Simple and Easy-to-Understand Explanation of Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

Below is a simple and easy-to-understand explanation of Craniosacral Therapy (CST) that I provide for those unfamiliar with CST and perhaps health science.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a form of alternative medicine to relax the body and relieve stiffness and tension.

CST is performed by touching and pressing the back of the legs (calves and thighs), the back of the body (waist and back), and the head.

The areas of the body that are not touched or pressed are private parts: the female breasts, buttocks, genitals, and sensitive areas.

The therapist will try to feel the vibrations and flow within the body through touch, and will try to balance these vibrations and flows through pressure and release.

Through touch and pressure, it is hoped that the client will feel relaxed and fall asleep easily. It is also hoped that pain, stress, and anxiety will be reduced.

CST is not the primary, mandatory, or sole treatment. So, for serious physical ailments sicknesses, clients should still be examined by a doctor.

Penjelasan yang Sederhana dan Mudah Dimengerti Tentang Terapi Craniosacral (CST)

Dibawah ini adalah penjelasan yang sederhana dan mudah dimengerti tentang Terapi Craniosacral (CST) yang aku berikan kepada orang yang belum mengerti tentang CST dan mungkin Ilmu Kesehatan.

Terapi Craniosacral (CST) adalah salah satu bentuk pengobatan alternatif untuk merilekskan tubuh, dan meringankan kekakuan dan ketegangan di dalam tubuh.

CST dilakukan dengan menyentuh dan menekan area bagian belakang kaki (betis dan paha), bagian belakang tubuh (pinggang dan punggung), dan kepala.

Bagian tubuh yang tidak disentuh dan ditekan adalah bagian tubuh yang bersifat pribadi: payudara perempuan, pantat dan alat kelamin, serta bagian tubuh yang sensitif.

Terapis akan mencoba untuk merasakan getaran dan aliran di dalam tubuh dengan menyentuh, dan mencoba untuk menyeimbangkan getaran dan aliran tersebut dengan menekan dan melepaskan.

Dengan sentuhan dan tekanan, diharapkan klien akan merasa rileks dan dapat mudah tidur. Diharapkan juga, rasa sakit, stres dan kecemasan pada klien dapat berkurang juga.

CST bukanlah pengobatan utama, wajib dan satu-satunya. Jadi untuk penyakit fisik yang berat, klien harus tetap diperiksa oleh dokter ya.

Surgeries I've had: Tonsil, Breast Tumor, Head, Gum, and Thyroid Cancer

Surgeries I've had: Tonsil, Breast Tumor, Head, Gum, and Thyroid Cancer

Several major surgeries have occurred to me:

* My Tonsil was removed from my throat when I was a teenager to treat an infection in that area. I forget how old I was at the time of the surgery.

* In 2000, a Benign Breast Tumor was removed from the top of my right breast. My right breast is still full, but it's several inches smaller than my left breast because the upper flesh of my right breast was removed along with the tumor. Because of this, I now regularly perform my own Breast Check.

* In 2018, I had surgery on my Head and I was in a coma for three days after falling off a motorcycle. I was wearing a helmet, but my head was still injured. Even though my head and body suffered severe, serious, and dangerous injuries, I still believe the helmet saved my life. I am also happy that my brain and head are recovering remarkably well. Currently, I must maintain my brain health by avoiding even the slightest impact on my head. I also have to manage stress well.

* A few months after the accident in 2018, a dentist underwent minor surgery on the Nerves in my Upper Gum to treat the pain and swelling in the gums. The pain and swelling in the nerves in my gum were most likely an indirect result of the 2018 motorcycle accident that resulted in a head injury. A hard blow to the head often travels to the facial bones and jaw, causing nerve inflammation that triggers pain and swelling several months later.

* In 2026, a surgery to remove two lumps (biopsies) from my Thyroid was performed in June 2026, and total surgery to remove Stage 2 Thyroid Cancer was performed in August 2026. Because my entire Thyroid Gland was removed, my body developed absolute Hypothyroidism (no Natural Thyroid Hormone). To replace the removed thyroid, I had to take Levothyroxine.  If I don't take Levothyroxine, my body becomes weak, I can't think, my heartbeat slows, and so on. I also have to take Lactas Calcicus to relieve cramps and tingling. I have to have my blood tested periodically to ensure the Levothyroxine dosage is correct. The area where I underwent Thyroid Cancer Surgery also needs to be monitored regularly.

I'm still happy that I'm still alive. I know that I must fight to stay alive, especially since I have undergone Head Surgery and have suffered from a Breast Tumor and Thyroid Cancer. I hope I can keep fighting so that I may live a life of tranquility, peace, and security.

Kanker Tiroid Stadium 2 Tidak Bisa Menghentikan Aku Untuk Melakukan Kegiatanku Sehari-hari

Perjuanganku Untuk Melawan Kanker Tiroid.

Kanker Tiroid Stadium 2 Tidak Bisa Menghentikan Aku Untuk Melakukan Kegiatanku Sehari-hari.

* Aku masih bisa tetap bekerja. Operasi pertama untuk mengambil benjolan di tenggorokanku dilakukan pada 20 Juni 2026 dan aku sudah kembali bekerja pada 23 Juni 2026. Operasi kedua untuk mengambil Kanker Tiroid dilakukan pada 8 Agustus 2026 dan aku sudah kembali bekerja pada 12 Agustus 2026. Puji Tuhan Yesus Kristus, semua operasinya dilakukan pada hari Sabtu. Jadi aku "libur dari bekerja karena sakit" hanya 1 sampai 2 hari saja. Puji Tuhan Yesus Kristus juga yang telah memberikan pekerjaan jenis WFH, sehingga aku tidak perlu menghabiskan tenagaku di jalan raya untuk pergi ke kantor, dan aku masih punya tenaga untuk memulihkan kesehatanku sehingga dapat kembali bekerja dengan baik.

* Aku masih bisa melakukan kegiatanku sehari-hari. Setelah meninggalkan RS dan kembali ke rumahku, aku langsung merapikan rumahku, mencuci baju, mandi, makan dan minum, dan menyiram tanaman. Puji Tuhan Yesus Kristus yang masih memberikan aku tenaga dan kekuatan untuk mengurus diriku dan bertanggung jawab atas Semua Berkat-Nya.

* Aku masih bisa berolahraga. Aku sempat beristirahat sejenak dari melakukan olahraga, tapi ada rasa ketidak sabaran dari diriku untuk duduk dan tidur saja tanpa melakukan berbagai gerakan. Setelah beristirahat selama kurang dari 1 minggu, aku langsung aktif untuk lebih banyak bergerak, mulai dari melakukan jalan kaki, angkat beban yang ringan, mengurus rumahku, dll.
Dear Astrid, terus bergeraklah, agar kamu bisa menuju hidup yang sehat dan bahagia! 💪

Tuhanku Terkasih Yesus Kristus, aku sungguh bersyukur bahwa Engkau merencanakan dan memudahkan hidupku dengan baik. Letak RS nya dekat dengan rumahku, aku bekerja dengan jenis WFH, operasinya dilakukan pada hari Sabtu, dll. Semuanya adalah Berkat-Mu untukku dan semuanya terjadi karena Engkau mencintai aku. Aku mencintai-Mu, Yesus. Aku adalah Milik-Mu, Kristus.

Stage 2 Thyroid Cancer Doesn't Stop Me From Doing My Daily Activities

My Fight Against Thyroid Cancer.

Stage 2 Thyroid Cancer Doesn't Stop Me From Doing My Daily Activities.

* I can still work. The first surgery to remove a lump in my throat was performed on June 20, 2026, and I returned to work on June 23, 2026. The second surgery to remove the Thyroid Cancer was performed on August 8, 2026, and I returned to work on August 12, 2026. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ, all the surgeries were performed on Saturdays. So I only had one or two days off from work due to illness. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for providing a work-from-home (WFH) job, so I don't have to spend all my energy commuting to the office, and I still have the energy to recover my health and return to work well.

* I can still do my daily activities. After leaving the hospital and returning home, I immediately tidied up my house, washed my clothes, showered, ate and drank, and watered the plants. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ, who still gives me the energy and strength to take care of myself and be responsible for all His Blessings.

* I can still exercise. I took a short break from exercising, but I felt impatient to just sit and sleep without doing any exercise. After resting for less than a week, I immediately became more active and moved around more, starting with walking, lifting light weights, taking care of my house, etc.
Dear Astrid, keep moving, so you can live a healthy and happy life! 💪

My Beloved Lord Jesus Christ, I am truly grateful that You planned and made my life easy. The hospital is close to my home, I work from home, the surgeries were on Saturdays, etc. All of this is Your Blessing to me, and it all happened because You love me. I love You, Jesus. I am Yours, Christ.  ✝️
