Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics, Volume One

Biodynamic craniosacral therapy (BCST) is commonly seen as the spiritual approach to craniosacral therapy (CST). In fact, BCST, as taught by Franklyn Sills, the pioneer in the field, is quite different from conventional CST. Biodynamic work is based on the development of perceptual skills, where the practitioner learns to become sensitive to subtle respiratory motions called primary respiration and also to the power of spontaneous healing. Through the Breath of Life, which Sills asserts echoes the Holy Spirit in the Judeo-Christian tradition, bodhicitta in Buddhism, and Tai Chi in Taoism, students of BCST learn to enter a state of presence oriented to the client's inherent ability to heal. In Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics, Sills offers students and practitioners an in-depth, step-by-step guide to the development of perceptual and clinical skills with specific clinical exercises.
