The "No Mind" Space | Etienne Peirsman | Craniosacral Therapy

08/21/20 • 32 min

Today’s episode is more of an educational episode on craniosacral therapy and the benefits that it presents to humans. I interview Etienne Piersman who is one of the world’s leading craniosacral therapists. He has four schools across the globe teaching people the craniosacral practice. Craniosacral therapy is a form of bodywork or alternative therapy that uses gentle touch to palpate the joints of the cranium. It is based on fundamental misconceptions about the physiology of the human skull and is promoted as a cure-all for a variety of health conditions. One of the main topics of today’s episode is learning how to enter a state of “no mind” to turn off the brain and let the heart express itself.

Etienne Peirsman is a biology and physical education teacher who has been involved with emotional training, encounter work, primal healing and meditation since 1974. He began teaching craniosacral (CS) in 1991, and founded several CS institutes in Belgium and the Netherlands. He is the founder and director of PCSA (Peirsman Cranio Sacral Academy) in the Netherlands. He is also the originator of the Cranio Sacral Professional Organization in Holland which began as a result of his students becoming professionals. As a result, he has a grandfather status in that organization and is an honorary member of The Dutch Cranio Sacral Practitioner Association (NCSV). Additionally, he taught CS at the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts for nearly a decade.

As a meditator of over 40 years, Etienne Peirsman has developed a unique teaching style over the past two decades that adds an extraordinarily compassionate and meditative depth to the methods used by the Upledger Institute and combines a practical, no-nonsense approach with the biodynamic style. Etienne has been teaching for over twenty-three years, bringing his life experience to the classroom. He has schools in Belgium and the Netherlands and teaches in North America in New Mexico and Washington, and Hong Kong.
