Listening hands are hands placed to sense rather than to do.
In 📝Craniosacral Therapy the contact is about 📝five grams and still. The work is attending to what practitioners report feeling — a tide, a pause, a yield — not imposing a change. The phrase is a stance, not a diagnosis, and not a claim that the hands can prove physiology. If the receiver feels force, the hands have stopped listening.
Clients feel a cradle. Dizziness, visual change, or panic is a stop. Unexplained neurological symptoms are a referral.
