Participant's experiences

You cannot decide to become a Craniosacral Therapist, this profession calls you. After eleven years of working with children, I started going to one friend for yoga classes because I was completely down, exhausted and drained. I was suffering from depression, but I wouldn’t admit it, although I knew I had to do something for myself. At the same time, I also started going to my future teacher of Craniosacral Resonance, Chintan Veet, a truly remarkable man. After the first visit I already felt a huge change in me on a gentle, subtle level, as if I had obtained the energy from inside, and I felt it for another two or three days. So, I went to training and already the first night everything was different. My children started coming to me on their own when I returned home. They also perceived a change; a source of beneficial energy had opened up in me. Previously, I had been rather severe, not mild enough, but then with just one touch, a special grip, I was able to remove the tension in my daughter’s shoulders or reassure my son when he was crying.

I decided to take up the training of Craniosacral Resonance after an opening seminar where I first encountered this therapy. During the seminar we learnt the basic principles and received some practical experiences, but I was mostly impressed by the depth with which this method gently penetrates into the whole person. During the training I gradually came to understand how the creative forces of healing work in the body and how to support them so that they can fully develop. The teacher Veet Chintan has the ability to present the complex theory of Craniosacral Resonance clearly and his interpretation is always followed by experiential exercises that allow you to truly internalize that knowledge ...

A very positive gathering that fills you with energy and new knowledge. This experience is useful in private and professional life.

A wonderful experience of how to ‘communicate’ in a different way, experience and get to know another person, while also getting to know oneself. The joy of touch … the joining of touch …

I am very grateful to be able to spend a weekend focusing on how I can use touch to build connections with others as well as with myself. I feel deeply nurtured and relaxed. Many thanks for this gift, the opportunity to slow down, take my time and take care of myself and my health.

Due to numerous life experiences, a very traumatic childhood and my own wish for freedom without limiting beliefs, I decided to try Integral Sessions with Valentina. I had no idea what to expect and what it would look like, but I was positively surprised at the process of the sessions and my gradual transformation. Valentina found a way to lead the session in a safe and loving environment with different touches, and through observations of the sensations in the body she always felt how to guide me, what to say or ask, so that we found the core of my problem and gave it space to disintegrate. Sometimes this would happen immediately, at other times slowly, depending on how deep my problems were rooted ...

I have been working with Karima for almost 3 years now. The periods of weekly sessions are followed by periods of a lower frequency of meetings. I came to her at a time when I was going through a difficult life experience. Despite the fact that I had been intensively practicing yoga, meditation and yoga philosophy for many years before, I was not able to help myself properly and I did not want to constantly “pester” the circle of my closest loved ones. I have found a truly compassionate and efficient support in Karima. Not only have I gained a better ability to face different challenges and handle difficult situations through these sessions, but to my great surprise I have noticed that I’ve managed to deepen the contact with my own body and experiencing. This has had a great effect on various aspects of my life ...

As far as I’m concerned, the meaning of living on this planet is to get to know ourselves (and, moreover, to be able to share ourselves and things we own with others). We are wild pirates looking for a treasure within, while we ourselves are the map. The things that happen to us, recognizing the things we don’t like about ourselves, diseases, and what not. … This unique journey of discovery fortunately never ends, it occurs every day, it even starts anew each moment. If I am able to find a measure of joy in this, for instance if I look, from a distance, at how I pushed forward and made decisions at the crossroads when facing problems, if I add a touch of humour or, rather, a lot of it, and congratulate myself on the work done (or non-work, nothing is wrong or right), I can hear every pore of my body saying to me, sometimes whispering and sometimes screaming, “Life is beautiful” ...

Spirituality and meditation are not unknown to me, as I’ve been looking for a way to myself, my heart and soul, for a long time now. And yet, the meeting with Chintan and Karima was a new experience, an adventure in self-exploration where the impossible became possible. Each session was something special. I never knew where it was going to take me and which hidden aspect of my being it was going to illuminate. With the help of Chintan and Karima I experienced an intimately soulful moment the likes of which I had not known before. Compared to this experience, sex, as we know it today, is a kindergarten activity. The experience was a meeting of three souls, which entrusted themselves to each other in order to reach unconditional love, healing and absolute acceptance. I got to understand the feeling of “being, existing and accepting”. Ultimately, it’s difficult to describe in words, as only the experience counts. If you have the courage try it, you won’t regret it.

I tried out Craniosacral Resonance due to joint problems and knee pain. As a result of my sensitivity, I was able to feel distinct sensations and movements in my body throughout the sessions. My knee became warmer, which could have been the reason for a shorter regeneration time. Furthermore, the feeling of lightness of the body was always present. Whenever I’m facing a specific problem, I seek it out and try to actively manage it. Craniosacral Resonance helped me with the process.

As a result of a traffic accident years ago, as well as my profession, I had been experiencing neck and upper back pain for two years. At the very first craniosacral session, the therapists identified the location of my problem and focused on that particular part of the body. At first, I felt a sense of warmth as I reached a state of deep relaxation. For a few days after the therapy I felt somewhat unbalanced, as if something inside me had been moved. In each consecutive session I found it increasingly easy to feel the movements which the therapists were performing. The pain and tension in my neck and back at first gradually and then completely disappeared. I no longer have any pains, even after an exhausting day or even a week of work. I still occasionally attend sessions. In the meantime I became pregnant. Now the sessions serve primarily as a source of in-depth relaxation and balance, which benefits me as well as the being developing inside of me.

To feel myself … Craniosacral Resonance had a calming effect on me. To be calm, almost as calm as if saying goodbye to life. The pleasantness of the therapists kept me going. Almost as when falling asleep, my thoughts floated away. I felt the waves as if lying on an air mattress in the Adriatic Sea in a gentle breeze. I felt the warmth flowing through my body all the way to my feet. My body was once again waking up. Medical effects: Dull back pain disappeared. My neck became softer. In the next few days I felt new energy and I used it to jog, which in the past was difficult for me because of the back pain. The liveliness and elasticity of my body increased…
