The intention of this seminar is to begin to appreciate the specific manifestations of the Breath of Life and the Health inherent within the tissue field. The 'Primary Respiratory System' will be introduced and the palpation of tissue motility and mobility will be undertaken. Students will discover that tissue structures express an inner breath . This inner breath is palpable as an intra-osseous motility , or inner motion. Palpatory awareness of intra-osseous motility will be explored within the major structures of the cranium. Within this context, the classical craniosacral motion dynamics of flexion-extension and external-internal rotation will be introduced. Specific palpation sessions relating to the reciprocal tension membranes and the temporal, frontal, parietal, occipital and sphenoid bones and the sacrum will be undertaken. The dynamics of the sphenobasilar junction will also be introduced.
Within this context, the importance of Sutherland s fulcrum will be introduced and explored via palpation. Verbal skills will be introduced and the focusing process developed by Dr. Eugene Gendlin, will be introduced.
