CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY 
AND BEYOND

Presented to the Duke Mind-Body Study Group Duke Medical Center June 11, 1997

 

My name is Jennie Knoop. I wear several different hats - directing a new retreat center, working part-time as a hospice chaplain and seeing clients as a craniosacral therapist. I’m honored to be with you today to share my experiences and thoughts as a healer. It feels very good to see so many people willing to explore new frontiers. I have way too much to talk about, so what you’ll be hearing is compressed and abbreviated. There are at least two areas of controversy in what I’m going to be sharing today, at least controversial to me. There may be more that’s controversial to you. One is an anatomical controversy, fairly easy to address, and I think, resolve. The other is not so simple and involves the question of life after death. I invite you to receive all that I say of my personal experience as simply anecdotal, for that is exactly what it is. 

I’d like to offer this reflection as we begin - There are three great medical systems in the world today serving millions of people - Western Biomedicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, which includes acupuncture and an extensive, millennia-old herbal pharmacy, and India’s Ayurvedic Medicine. If you’ve ever heard of “Chakras” or listened to Deepak Chopra, you’ve touched Ayurvedic Medicine. Next...
