What is Core Syncronism
Core Synchronism is a gentle, hands-on healing modality that works with the subtle rhythmic motion present in all living systems. This rhythm, often referred to as the “core current” is considered the organizing principle behind the structure and function of the body.
When parts of the body fall out of sync with this core rhythm due to injury, stress, or emotional imbalance, disharmony can manifest physically or energetically. Core Synchronism supports the re-alignment of the body with its natural rhythm, helping to restore balance, reduce pain, and encourage deep states of relaxation.
Foundational Principles
Core Synchronism is built on five major ideas:
The Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) and Cranial Rhythm
Similar to Craniosacral therapy, Core Synchronism works with the rhythm of the CSF, which is thought to carry the core current.
Polarity Therapy Influence
It incorporates energy principles from polarity therapy, recognizing five elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth and the role they play in the body’s energetic balance.
The Core Current
A vital, universal pulse or flow that governs the organization and health of all living systems.
Mechanical and Energetic Alignment
The work combines physical manipulations with subtle energy balancing to restore harmony in body structures, fluids, and energetic fields.
Inherent Healing Intelligence
Core Synchronism trusts the body’s own wisdom and self-healing capacity, acting as a facilitator rather than a forceful intervention.
What to Expect in a Session
A Core Synchronism session is typically done with the client fully clothed, lying comfortably on a massage table. The practitioner uses quiet, intentional touch on various areas such as the head, spine, abdomen, or limbs to assess and support subtle movements within the body.
Sessions are deeply relaxing and often lead to shifts not only in physical discomfort, but also in mental clarity, emotional well-being, and energetic flow. Each session is unique and guided by the body’s needs in the moment.
Applications and Benefits
Core Synchronism may support a wide range of conditions, including:
Physical pain or tension
Headaches and TMJ dysfunction
Nervous system imbalances
Emotional stress or trauma
Recovery from injuries
Sleep and digestive disturbances
General realignment and relaxation
Clients often report feeling more grounded, centered, and at ease both during and after a session.
The Roots of Core Synchronism
Core Synchronism was developed by Dr. Robert Stevens, the founder of the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics. His work integrates decades of study and practice in natural healing, energetic therapies, and cranial principles. Drawing from a wide range of traditions, Robert created a system that bridges physical and energetic approaches, guided by the inherent wisdom of the body.
While Core Synchronism acknowledges its roots, each practitioner brings their own presence, sensitivity, and perspective to the work.
