ACAT

Author: Judit Baptiste, Ph.D.

​

The Atlas is the first vertebrae underneath the skull. Most of us born with an out of aligned, dislocated atlas, causing the atlas to be turned and tilted. Our head supposed to rest on these first vertebrae at the top of the spinal bones as on a pedestal. However, if the pedestal is not horizontal, the object resting on it can’t be horizontal.

The dislocation (the torsion and tilted position) of the atlas then chokes off signals between the brain and its container the skull, what it holds, and the rest of the body, causing nerve supply, blood flow, lymph flow and cerebral spinal flow all to be compromised throughout the entire body.

A major significant and recognized condition of a dislocated atlas is, one leg being shorter than the other. This condition creates structural imbalances in our skeleton, causing backaches, pinched nerves, and hip, knee, ankle, neck and shoulder pains among many other debilitating symptoms, such as tiredness, lack of motivation, poor circulation, lack of elimination or waste material (edema), headaches, etc.

The way to correct this dislocation is by getting an ATLAS CRANIO ALIGNMENT TECHNIQUE (ACAT) treatment, which is now being offered by Judit Baptiste, Ph.D.

Dr.Baptiste has developed a breakthrough technique which allows her to align the atlas without using a machine. A non-surgical advance technique administered, using ONLY her hands, while utilizing the energy within the body, to be treated. Her technique utilizes the Cranio-sacral treatment’s postulate, that if and when a bone is not in its original (God’s given) location if that bone is only manipulated with 5mg force, it will go back on its own to its rightful place.

Hence, the purpose of the ACAT treatment is to assist the body to re position the dislocated atlas to its natural position, so that you may enjoy proper balance and to give the body greater ability to truly heal itself.

More importantly, with the release of the atlas, Dr.Baptiste’s amazing 2 in one treatment (atlas alignment with Cranio-sacral treatment) increases the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid throughout the body. The atlas alignment empowers the natural flow of the life force within and for your Being. 

This will increase your health POTENTIAL to 100%. 

The Atlas alignment usually needs to be done only once, due to its structural and anatomical conditions. However, a re-check of the Atlas is included to assist, if there would be still a need for re-alignment (usually only in 1% of cases). 

Plus, take note! 

The term “one-time alignment” of the Atlas DOES NOT MEAN that the individual wouldn’t need any more body-work treatments in their lifetime! On the contrary, the aligned individual could assist; help greatly their body’s improvements by doing body-work to their body!

Like a car, all aligned, fully maintained…you fall into a pot-hole…and you will have to start the repair of your car all over, again! 

The ACAT treatment includes: 

1/ the ACAT introduction 

2/ the initial assessment 

3/ the ACAT treatment therapy, accompanied with a full, 2 hours long, Integrated Body-work treatment 

4/ assessment to draw a conclusion.

ACAT treatment is never done on its own, but in conjunction with a full, 2 hours long, Integrated Body-work, hence the total treatment could last up to 2 ½ hours. Then, one may reap the best result, if and when the initial ACAT treatment is followed by a few more Integrated Body-work sessions, as time goes by, in order to aid the body’s own realignment.

However, the follow-up sessions could be done by other healthcare providers, massage therapists as well.

Your check-up appointment(which is included in your treatment package and is free of charge) is scheduled for the end of your second Integrated Body-work session. But please note, it can be done anywhere from a few days after your correction to a couple of years. 

Once your Atlas has been corrected, because of anatomical and mechanical reasons, it cannot be easily dislocated again, although jerking accidents sometimes pull it back out. But it can easily put back again into alignment and most people feel it when it is out…

Some of the benefits, which may well be your experience as well: 1/ greater energy and increased stamina;  2/ a firm and even structural balance with more fluidity within the body; 3/ Less aches and pains within the body;  4/ possible vision and hearing improvements;  5/ complete connection of one’s Being to the Whole.

However, be reminded that no two bodies are the same. Each individual will have their own unique but still somewhat similar experience.

In some cases,shifts and integration can happen quite quickly. But in some other cases, one might need to wait for the change to come into being. Your body, both physical and emotional, will now begin an unwinding process. You have spent your whole lifetime developing muscle and movement patterns and emotional patterns with your Atlas in the old position. Now you must develop new patterns with your Atlas in this new position. Be patient and gentle with yourself as you integrate. After the correction of the Atlas, your body will wake up progressively year after year. The ACAT starts this process to occur. Later, if it is aided by on going body-works, its progression will happen faster and easier, creating the unwinding process to be more graceful and easier for you. So you are taking care of yourself in a supportive manner.

​

The reactions of regeneration and self-healing can be more or less noticeable. They can appear the same day, weeks, months, or even years after the correction of the Atlas. Journalism is recommended to take notes of the changes you notice, no matter how small, and also advised being more attentive to your body. Sometimes you may feel great with lots of energy, other times you may feel very tired and need to sleep a lot. You may feel happy, sad, depressed, angry, etc. at different times through your integration. Emotions may come and go at various times. Your body may experience new sensations as your integration occurs. In some cases,there may be some painful sensations. If this is the case, do not be alarmed. Sometimes old injuries reappear for a short time and then release at a new and deeper level. Other times the body sensations may be quiet and subtle. Please pay attention to even the changes that seem small and of little consequence.

​

Remember, not only patience is required, but also other therapies or traditional treatments over several months to help the body to integrate and release old patterns while learning new patterns. Choose whatever types of therapies feel right for you. Listen to your body, it will let you know what it wants and needs. The body has all the knowledge and wisdom it needs to heal and maintain health. However, is recommended, that you do not allow any one to brusquely manipulate your upper neck within the first couple of weeks. Forceful manipulation can be shocking to the system and the small muscles of the neck as they are integrating into their new position.

​

It is absolutely NECESSARY to support and take care of your body (especially the neck and the back) with the help of regular massages mainly manually, as well as baths or even saunas.

​

Other traditional treatments and therapies can be more effective as the Atlas is finally in place and the Cranio-sacral system of the body is free at last too. Check in with your body and see what it wants to support its healing. You should always take into account that you have lived for many years with your Atlas in the old position and therefore your body needs your active support to regenerate and form new patterns. Movement therapies such as yoga or Pilates can also be helpful as your body relearns and discovers new muscle movement patterns. Good nutrition (vitamins, minerals, trace minerals and fatty acids) will also support the self-healing and regeneration.

​

Diseases generally do not appear overnight, thus self-healing will also take time. The regeneration and self-healing can last several years. Please do not expect miracles overnight!!

​

The ACAT is not a cure-all, fix-everything overnight treatment. It is not a magic wand, nor the purple pill! So please feel to be warned that ongoing body-work hand in hand together with Atlas alignment(ACAT) are the keys to better health, not just the Atlas alignment on its own! 

However, this treatment does bring about many changes, some small and less noticeable, some big and very noticeable. All changes can be profound in the effects they may have in your life; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Again, be patient and gentle with yourself! 

If you feel out-of-sorts, that can be very normal. As the unwinding occurs emotionally, have a strong support system for yourself. Friends and family that are good at listening without judgments are wonderful. Therapists or life coaches can also be useful.

​

We have in us, the intelligence of the infinite world which allows us to enjoy a long and harmonious life, in full physical and psychological health and beauty.

​

Free the passage of the vital intelligence by correcting the position of the Atlas as intended by nature, so nature can manage body and cells to its optimum.
