Foundations In Craniosacral Biodynamics, Volume Two

Více o knize

Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics provides a thorough grounding in the clinical skills necessary for a biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy. Franklyn Sills emphasizes "perceptual skills," which enable practitioners to sense subtle sensations and intuitive insights foundational to holistic somatic therapy. This approach stems from W. G. Sutherland, DO, who transitioned from a biomechanical to a holistic perspective, focusing on the "Breath of Life" as the source of healing forces. Sutherland advocated for allowing inherent ordering forces, or "potency," to guide treatment without external intervention. Sills has been instrumental in advancing this biodynamic approach beyond the osteopathic profession, and his new work updates earlier texts. Volume Two expands on the previous volume, offering an overview of the biodynamic approach, highlighting the suspensory nature of the human system and the "three bodies"—physical, fluid, and tidal. It delves into early life experiences, including embryonic and pre- and perinatal periods, with a focus on birth dynamics and craniosacral responses to birth trauma. The text also covers the primal midline and related tissue structures, exploring the pelvis, vertebral axis, cranial base, face, and hard palate. The volume concludes with chapters on the neurophysiology of stress and trauma, integrating biodynamic approaches to address these issues alongside craniosacral and verbal skill
