"CraniOcean.Calm Newsletter is Rockin'!"

-Neisha Ghiatis, LA

      

      The quarterly CraniOcean.Calm Newsletter is free and it's fun.

     You can unsubscribe, or "opt out" at any time.  In 4 days or 4 years!

Announcing!

    This is especially for all 2012 buffs in L.A.! The next "Harmonic Convergence" - May 27th, 28th, 29th, 2010, is now upon us!

      Be in a place of peace and harmony for these three days in May, just like the last Convergence of August 27th - 28th, 1987. 

    Dare one suggest that CraniOcean (intuitive bodywork and massage in a blend with You) can support and accelerate one's experience at such auspicious times?

   One blushes to go into detail.  It might possibly have to do with inter-dimensional shift and deep-core-alignment, as noted in the books, above. And why bother to explain?  Best to call now or come in for a CS session while in L.A. through Feb 15th ... otherwise, you will never know, will you?  If nothing else, de-stress and de-compress. All is well.

(A More Recent Photograph, People!)

CraniOcean

    Imagine yourself in paradise on a relaxing massage table, finally getting the deep nurturing and rest you were really looking for but didn't get in Cancun or the Islands...

    In the Palm Beaches, CraniOcean® sessions can alternate between a relaxing massage table and even the ocean.  The Palm Beach cottage, an authentic Florida cottage built in 1929 with lots of green, palm trees and sunlight. The Bahama Room in The Cottage is described as a quiet paradise by those who have visited. 

     James's clients and/or patients know that he has been based in LA on Melrose Avenue for many years and that he's now based in the Palm Beaches.  Although he works out of Palm Beach now, he continues to travel and often returns to LA--so keep track of when he travels through the CraniOcean.Calm News

     He is often invited around the country to work with families, friends, kids(CranioSacral for Pediatrics), even around the world.  Lodging is then provided by the Host or Hostess.  (see Mini-Intensives, below)

By Appointment

    What is the price? 

    Let's look at this for a minute, shall we? 

     If someone is on meds, the question is, what is the price each time she or he visits the drugstore? Add up the weeks.  Factor into this, months, years, annoying insurance premiums.

    If you go out to fine dinners with wine for distraction each week,  or the club scene, factor in the days, weekends, then the months, years, hassle of internet billing.

    The proper question is, "What are you paying now?" 

    And on what purpose?

     It could be "the world is upside down and backwards," ever hear that?  If it wasn't, someone such as yours truly would be paid 10,000.00 an hour, the surgeon 240.00 or 120.00 an hour.

     This is not like chiropractic or a medical check up. This is time intensive. 

     (I'm speaking here for a lot of fine intuitive bodyworkers, massage therapists, counselors, and doctors--conventional and alternative-JN)

     It can take some time to get used to a new idea. And its value.  For example, it took time for our great-grandparents to adjust to automobiles, the same will apply to space travel for the average educated citizen of the future.

     If the health giving, resonant effects of sessions are reported by All to last days, weeks, months, and if there is no charge for what happens in the-time-between-sessions, and if it WORKS, what would it be worth to you?

     What are you paying the practitioner you are with now?  Are you truly valuing her or his time and energy contributed to you? Is it more than the average medical consultation of 7 minutes?

CraniOcean Fees

     Plan on 1 to 3 sessions?  Plan on 3 to 6, or 8, sessions? On second thought, why plan any number of sessions at all?  unless you are setting up a Mini-Intensive with the Facilitator.   Some people like to drop in after that.  

 Again, what is the cost of a week of medications?

      Higher outcall fees are separate for travel and set-up time. No sliding scales. Rates posted until further notice. Wear comfortable clothing as you would in a yoga or gym class.


     Sessions with pregnant or nursing mothers rarely last longer than 45 minutes.  The same applies to sessions with infants.  Parents actively participate in sessions with their kids!

EVERYTHING that happens in a session is free, I charge only for my time.

 

Cottage -- The Bahama Room

"James Nemec is celebrated for his ability to combine science and intuition in order to heal individuals previously beyond help."

   -Harvard University COOP, Cambridge

 

When in Los Angeles

     When on visits in L.A., James works at the holistic clinic of Dr. Jeff Benton on Wilshire Blvd, between San Vincente and Crescent Heights.  For the Los Angeles address go to, Psychology Today'shttp://healthprofs.com.  Or email here to learn his upcoming schedule. james@craniocean.com

    
Mini-Intensives

     James is the Founder of CraniOcean and of the Mini-Intensive Format, just as he is a pioneer in Dolphin, BioAquatic, and Ocean healing.  James has been offering "Mini-Intensives" at his location or Yours, since 1998.  It started when a very busy client visiting from New York City was inspired to do a lot in a short time.  It worked, and many have since benefited.

      Virtually all who have since partaken of the Mini-Intensives report this format to be "life-changing," "healing", even "transformative", with flows of harmony and health arising and expanding for weeks, months and even years beyond! 

"After my Mini-Intensive with James, I know why I went to a counselor, and I achieved more in these few sessions with James than I did in the 12 years of counseling.  Now, I get more for my money from counseling than ever before.  Highly recommended!"

                               David Selig, Entrepreneur, NYC

     What is the 'format?'  Sessions are set up at 2 sessions a day for three days, for a total of 6 sessions, or 2 sessions a day for four days, making a total of 8 sessions. Mothers and daughters, Parents and Infants, Mothers and Sons, even long time childhood Friends have all flown in from around the country, participated, and benefited.

     Could it be that a rise in conscious awareness for one of us, is a rise in conscious awareness for us all?

     James played a role in introducing CranioSacral Therapy to Southern California as the first in Southern California to be Diplomat Certified by the Upledger Institute. 

Travel to Mini-Intensives

     When James is invited to perform Mini-Intensives in other states and in other countries, his travel and expenses are met by the Host.  Work is often referred him by Doctors of both the Conventional and Alternative medical communities. 

   

Multi-Person Sessions

     Often James works on two or more people at the same time on one or more treatment tables, for example, mother and children, or husband and wife, or mother and infant, father and son, etc.  For these rare, very special bonding sessions, James's session rate is per person whatever the age of the person(s).

Studio Talks

It is a little known fact that just as there is an art to learning manual healing art there is also an art to receiving it...

     James may often talk and demonstrate approaches to CranioSacral, Massage, Grounding and Presence, and Learning How to Learn. The only requirement is that the person feel drawn to attend. There is usuallya Suggested Donation for his Talks.

Insurance?

     The Insurance Industry is slowly but surely catching on.  Massachusets is ahead of most states. In Boston, a senior on Medicare with United has all of her craniosacral therapy sessions covered, and since she's with Medicare, her fine therapist need do no paperwork for her.  Otherwise, it's common to code sessions under unlisted physical medicine or massage therapy.

     This may be an unpopular view, but over the years, he has worked with patients and clients who had fine Insurance and with those who did not have any and has found almost invariably that those who do NOT have insurance tend to get better much faster than those who are on Insurance!  He's not sure why this is so and invites you, the reader, to think about it.

    Incredibly, those who are NOT on insurance plans tend to get better and faster! 

[Have you perused the Site Warning? -J.N.]

     Insurance does not yet commonly prescribe CranioSacral Therapy and so reimbursement can depends on your coverage and on your own incentive to apply your coverage. 

     In most states, Craniosacral Therapy can be billed under Massage Therapy. Medicare is simple and efficient, time saving, and much preferred.  A receipt can be provided for you. The paperwork is up to you.

     It can help if your medical doctor refers you to craniosacral therapy. On the other hand, if you are a medical doctor seeking craniosacral therapy, it will often be easier for you. 

     Medical Doctors (MDs) and their families often visit. The Doctors (MD, DDS) who have sought craniosacral therapy for themselves and for their family members have used a nationwide code for "Unlisted Physical Medicine and CranioSacral Therapy," code # 97799. You might refer this code to your own Insurance Company, or Medicare.

     Depending on your Coverage, Insurance will approve under "Massage Therapy." Finding this out--as well as any insurance paperwork--is up to you.  Otherwise, the nationwide code for Unlisted Physical Medicine and CranioSacral Therapy again falls under code # 97799

     Those flying in for Mini-Intensives with James from Europe or the Pacific Rim Countries are welcome to discuss beforehand or email him james@craniocean.com for more information.

Dogs, Cats, Horses

     When he works on other species, including, dogs, cats, horses, the time is "up to a half hour", in other words, sometimes only fifteen or twenty minutes will be needed but it will fall under the half hour rate.

The Melrose Neighborhood?

     In LA, parking used to be a Rite of Passage in itself. Between 7:00 am and 7:00 PM, Park on the East side of either Westbourne or West Knoll on the south side of Melrose.

     The West Health Connection on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles has been a neighborhood long on the Spiritual Seeker Circuit with the Bodhi Tree Bookstore and delightful Urth Café across the street. The Bodhi Tree is where Shirley McLaine "began" her Spiritual Quest in Out on a Limb.

       People would visit our neighborhood and office from across the country and internationally.  And that was then...

 

Farewell L.A. Office!  Farewell Back Room!!

     For more than 35 years, the complimentary care clinic on Melrose Avenue has been contributing well being, healing, and health to others. The Doctors, Acupuncturists, Massage Therapists, Zone Therapists, have now dispersed. Even the wonderful aromatherapy store, Aunt Vi’s Garden, is gone from 8576 Melrose Avenue. People have called, or visitedto work with yours truly here in Florida, and say a void is there now, or that it’s like Katrina hit the place. Nobody saw this coming! 

     Think of the privilege to have been there. YOU are the Heroes and Heroines! You made it work!


                      Peace and Harmony 2-U and Yours
