We have all experienced pain. We all experience pain. Always. All over the world. We know it well.
Pain is something that most of us generally don’t want.
We don’t want it to stay – or we want it to go away. Pain is an intensely unpleasant experience.
Pain is part of our daily lives to one degree or another. It is something that we know exists, and it is actually a part of our lives in an almost natural way, yet we react to and from it.
This is a really interesting phenomenon, and we should get to know it.
Here are some interesting points to consider about pain:
- Pain is related to the central nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.
- Pain is maintained and maintained by the nervous system.
- We do not have a pain center in the brain.
- Pain is related to receptors, signals, and neuron markings in the brain.
- Pain is a response to “danger” markings and patterns in the brain.
- When there are signs of danger, the neurons work strongly and powerfully –
- These are important signals – we should pay attention to them. We will learn how to be, experience, and manage them, which is absolutely possible.
- Pain is a unique response to each person and their nervous system.
- Pain is both objective in an acute state and subjective in a chronic state.
- Pain consists of memory in the cells and nerves, and mainly in the brain’s decision that something is dangerous.
- And so it is preserved.
- It is very important to learn about pain, its complexity, and the ability to change it.
- Learning about pain improves coping with it, normalizes, and increases our container.
- The nervous system is a huge and intelligent network of information that is taken in from the outside and processed internally – a network system that sends signals to each cell how to “behave” and act – and as such also has consequences for our feelings and thoughts.
- The nervous system is “stubborn” and accustomed in its behavior, and even acts “by mistake” when it repeats signals, markings, and actions unnecessarily. from a habituated automaton. From lack of discharge of stress hormones.
- Although the “stubborn” nervous system is very “flexible” and “curious”. And you can “mark” it with new options so that the markings change And accordingly, the strong reactions will decrease, and the pain will change.
- Pain is related to sensation, experience, and danger signals to the brain.
- Pain is the reaction of our systems that something is dangerous.
- Pain is the moment when the system and brain “decide” that the situation is not safe, and its job is to let you know.
- Pain is one of the responses to the brain’s decisions. Other reactions are tension, distress, and inflammatory fatigue, and in an overwhelmed state, there is also disconnection when there is no choice (dissociation).
- Decisions of the brain regarding a state of danger/or safety may be mistaken due to delayed discharge of the survival brain and quick perceptual mental decision of the thinking brain.
- A decision of threat and danger that brings with it strong reactions and pain tends to be strongly guarded.
- Pain is not necessarily related to test findings.
- Not every pain has the same amount of suffering if at all. Very related to the reference to whether there is security or danger signals.
- There is no difference between emotional pain and physical pain!
- Relationships between the experience of pain and the strong activity of the neurons are very important to understand.
- The neurons change according to the stimulus applied to them, and memory circuits of pain are created accordingly. The more it hurts – the more it hurts – and the circularity of experience and marking of pain opens – that is, we increase the perception, memory, and meaning of pain in our lives. And so is the reverse with pleasant experiences.
- It is important to learn to feel and connect with the body. This will allow more security.
- It is certainly possible to change the route to rewire differently.
- It is Safety signals. Learning safety experience. The choice and decision “if I am safe.” is the most important. What allows the brain to signal differently, and the neurons work differently lowers the body’s powerful warning system and allows for a lower pain experience – danger.possible and desirable to learn and teach the brain and nervous system to experience and signal differently.
- It won’t help if we cut nerves or replace them! Experiences and feelings of pain will remain! On the contrary, the situation will get worse! because the alerting activity of the brain will continue and become more powerful, because perceptually there will be an expectation that there should not be pain, and when it appears, the experience of danger and threat will increase, and with it the pain. For example: the phantom phenomenon.
- If and when pain becomes chronic over 3-6 months, it mainly means that the body has not turned off the pain “switch” and continues it in a loop unnecessarily and not necessarily adapted to reality.
- It is very important to study the nature of pain in our bodies. meet him, experience him, and enable a perceptual change. which is not necessarily only a danger and tries to harm us, but rather to protect and allow us to perceive to meet and signal security.
- Not only in certain areas and cells, but for the whole body as one complete unit.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle approach based on deep listening to the body and nervous system.
With a gentle touch, one understands and knows how to identify what we call “autonomic tone,” meaning if and when there is sympathetic nerve activation that manifests itself in very specific, unpleasant physical sensations, the therapist will sense them and, along with them, the biodynamic forces of the breath of life to allow for release and reorganization. Both on a physical level, such as the release of stress hormones and their absorption, and on an emotional and mental level, perceptual.
The treatment does not try to “fix” or force change, but to create conditions in which the nervous system can relax, regulate, and reorganize itself.
The path to change is not nerve disconnection or avoidance, but rather developing a new perceptual experience of confidence, presence, and connection to the body –
to the entire system as a single unit. Through attentive touch, steady presence, and an appropriate pace, a space is created in which the brain receives signals of safety.
When a sense of safety is established, survival neural activity calms down – and the body can reduce the intensity of pain responses.
This teaching by the therapist allows the patient a larger container and understanding and the ability to manage pain, allowing for positive control and self-confidence so that there is a separation between the pain itself and the experience of suffering.
Suffering decreases, the container grows larger, less regulation of danger and pain signals, and the body’s natural healing ability is enhanced.
With this approach and study, all important healing systems work more powerfully.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy for Pain does not focus only on the painful area, but on the entire system.
Sometimes pain is an expression of overload, ongoing stress, or experiences that have not been fully processed, and the treatment allows the body to complete interrupted processes.
In the language of biodynamic craniosacral therapy: “The Breath of Life centers the experience, and therefore health (as a natural and essential life force) is not lost.”
The treatment is suitable for both acute and chronic pain, especially when there is a feeling of “bursting”, high sensitivity, or continuous stress on the nervous system.
Over time, many experience a change not only in the intensity of the pain, but also in their relationship to it – more space, more confidence, and a greater sense of control.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is not aimed at eliminating pain by force.
It invites a gentle encounter with the experience, at a pace that the body can bear.
While simultaneously strengthening the connection and inner connection to the natural innate forces of the Breath of Life.

When a sense of safety is established, survival neural activity calms down – and the body can reduce the intensity of pain responses.
When the brain and body repeatedly experience states of safety, regulation, and presence, the possibility of big and lasting change opens up – not through struggle, but through listening.
Pain is not the enemy. It is a message.
It asks for attention, listening, and understanding of what the nervous system is experiencing. When we learn to meet pain with curiosity and not just fear, change is possible – not just in a specific area of the body, but in the entire system, as one living, whole unit.
In addition and at the same time, a biodynamic craniosacral therapist recognizes the inherent Breath of Life system and its natural power to raise the conditional forces that are also concentered in the form of pain, allowing all the body’s resources to be amplified “like a rising wave,” and then discharging them from the body through natural movements that occur on their own. For example: Lateral movements from side to side, like subtle vibrations that can increase, like a temperature that rises and then subsides, like changes in the internal movements of connective tissues, like a feeling of release, tingling buzz nerves sensations that turn into spread of warmth and pleasant currents, and so on… until we become quiet – still… then the entire system enters into reorganization and a feeling of unity of the entire body as one unit of a fuller and more complete Breath of Life.
The body is calmer and more complete – slow thinking is calmer and more pleasant, and the emotion expresses safety, belonging-connectedness: Look at Pain, unity, comfort, and more joy and satisfaction.
