Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics

Zusatztext Holistic health pioneer Franklyn Sills continues to expand the frontier of his profound vision of healthcare in which healing comes from within the client! instead of from outside interventions. His 'biodynamic concept' is far-reaching in its implications! as well as eminently practical! safe! and effective for a long list of conditions. John Chitty! director of the Colorado School of Energy Studies! Boulder! Colorado Franklyn Sills elegantly expresses the continuing shifts in our understanding of working with biodynamic forces. He elucidates the significance of birth work and embryology and how they are essential to the biodynamic approach. His work has changed the lives of students and clients alike and continues to foster a deeper understanding of the Breath of Life. Mary Louise and Christopher Muller! LifeShapes Institute! Murrieta! California Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics! Volume 2 e loquently outlines Franklyn's pioneering thinking gleaned from many years of clinical practice and teaching. The book contains important new material about the scope of craniosacral practice! prenatal and birth dynamics! trauma and the stress response. It brings a clarity to these subjects with sensitivity! warmth! and deep insight. This is a work of love about the science and art of craniosacral biodynamics! providing an essential resource for all craniosacral practitioners and students." Michael Kern! craniosacral therapist! osteopath! director of the Craniosacral Therapy Educational Trust in London! and author of Wisdom in the Body: The Craniosacral Approach to Essential Health. Informationen zum Autor Franklyn Sills is the co-director of the Karuna Institute, a teaching center offering trainings in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. Cherionna Menzam, PhD, a specialist in Pre- and Perinatal Psychology, contributed two chapters, "The Perinatal Paradigm" and "Attachment." Dominique Degranges (illustrator) directs the Da-Sein Institut of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy in Winterthur, Switzerland. Klappentext Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics presents a comprehensive grounding in the clinical skills needed in a biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy. Author Franklyn Sills places particular emphasis on developing what he terms "perceptual skills," diagnostic skills that enable the practitioner to perceive the subtle sensations and intuitive insights that are the groundwork of most forms of holistic somatic therapy. The biodynamic approach has its origins in the clinical exploration of W. G. Sutherland, DO, (1873-1954), the founder of osteopathy in the cranial field and "forefather of craniosacral therapy." In the last ten years of his life, his work changed from a biomechanical approach to a fully holistic orientation toward the ordering and enlivening forces present in the human system. Sutherland described his experiences of a mysterious presence, the "Breath of Life," from which ordering forces and healing intentions arose. His work then shifted from biomechanics to biodynamics; from analysis and motion-testing to an appreciation of the unfolding of the "inherent treatment plan." Sutherland encouraged practitioners to use no outside force whatsoever, but to allow the inherent ordering forces, which he called "potency," to make the decisions and do the work. Franklyn Sills pioneered the biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy outside the osteopathic profession. This approach has now spread around the world in various forms. Sills wrote the early books in this field, and this new book now brings the text up to date.

Franklyn Sills pioneered the biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy outside the osteopathic profession. This approach has now spread around the world in various forms. Sills wrote the early books in this field, and this new book now brings the text up to date. Foundations in Craniosacral Therapy, Volume Two expands on the work described in the previous volume, starting with an overview of a biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy, which emphasizes the suspensory nature of the human system. Here we review and deepen our understanding of the "three bodies"-the physical, fluid, and tidal bodies. We also review and expand upon the suspensory nature of the holistic shift-the physical body suspended in the fluid body, in turn suspended in the tidal body-within the context of the inherent treatment plan.

The following chapters of the book orient to our earliest life experiences-the embryonic period and the pre- and perinatal experience-with chapters devoted to birth, birth dynamics, and craniosacral approaches oriented both to birth trauma and to the tissue patterns it generates. Here we orient to the prenate and birthing infant as a sentient being having and responding to life experience. Further chapters orient to the primal/notochord midline and the tissue structures that form around it. We explore the dynamics of the pelvis, vertebral axis, cranial base, face and hard palate. Volume Two finishes with four important chapters on the neurophysiology of stress and trauma and related craniosacral and verbal skills. All chapters include appropriate biodynamic approaches to traumatization and CNS activation.
