Phil Young has drawn the threads of this development together with the inclusion of the previously unpublished notebooks of another such pioneer, Dr Randolph Stone, a contemporary of Varma who, like Stanley Lief the founder of modern European Neuromuscular Technique, was influenced by Varma's work. Stone was the founder of his own system of manual therapy, which he called Polarity Therapy, and although it is similar to Varma's work, it has maintained to this day more of the original vitalistic, energy approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the title suggests. this book has been written to assist manual therapists to understand and hone the palpatory skills which are essential to their effectiveness as practitioners. Skilful palpation is the foundation stone of all effective manual therapy assessments and treatments. The ability to use subtle and sensitive touch to examine and assess patients is essential for an accurate interpretation of the underlying problems of fascial and muscle function. The accurate interpretation of palpatory findings is difficult and comes with experience. This book aims to increase awareness of how to palpate and understanding of what is being felt. In this fourth edition of his now well-established and much loved book Leon Chaitow has introduced references to the latest research findings relating to fascia and its role in health and disease, so that practitioners can apply this knowledge in interpreting what they palpate. In addition to the author, six notable contributors from Europe and North America enhance the work's range and authority. All manual therapists, whatever their professional background, will benefit from the wealth of experience- and research-based information presented in this book.

Book excerpt: Polarity Therapy is a truly holistic health systemfounded by Dr. Randolph Stone, D.O., D.C., N.D.Dr. Stone believed that life was much more thanchemistry and that healing was greater than freedomfrom symptoms. He saw life as a spiritualjourney and healing as the total alignment withthat journey.Dr. Stone's understanding of the healing artsbegan with the study of Western medicine whichincluded structural manipulation, nutrition, andnatural therapies. He then journeyed throughoutEurope and the Far East studying different healingmodalities. In the Far East, he studied Ayurveda,(the traditional healing system of India), acupuncture,yoga, and meditation. In Europe, he studiedhomeopathy and Hermetic philosophy and visitedmany nature cure spas.Polarity Therapy is based on the premise thatwe are fields of pulsating life energy made up ofspecific frequencies known as the five elements:Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. Each elementrelates and flows in a balance of positive and negativeattractions arising from a neutral center. Whenour thoughts, emotions, and physical body are outof alignment with the energy necessary to meet alife challenge, an energy imbalance results. Theseimbalances may appear as physical, mental, andemotional discomfort or pain. Polarity teaches usthat this pain and discomfort is a signal for us tolearn, change, and realign our lives.An ongoing and dynamic balance of lifeenergy is our foundation for health and well-being.Polarity Therapy helps us to develop thisbalance by promoting the flexibility, spontaneity,creativity, and clarity necessary to meet the challengesof everyday life. Dr. Stone says, "Obstaclesare God's design to make man with a spine."We must have challenges to grow spiritually.Meeting these challenges is a life-long processin which we learn to increase the depth of ourunderstanding and awareness and apply this toevery moment of our lives.A Polarity practitioner utilizes the tools ofbodywork, exercise, nutrition, and verbal guidanceto evaluate and balance life energy. Polarity bodyworkinvolves gentle rocking, stretching, and pressure-sensitive touch based on energy flow. Polarityexercises are easy stretching postures combiningsound, breath, and self-massage. Polarity nutritionviews food as energy and develops an ongoing,ever-changing, and creative nutritional awarenessrather than a rigid set of rules. Polarity verbalguidance is based on the assumption that "rightthinking" is the cornerstone of good health. Verbalprocesses involve understanding and feeling ouremotions, taking responsibility for our lives, andcreating life-enhancing thoughts.

Download or read book Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics Volume One written by Franklyn Sills and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 the 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 and explorations to help students and practitioners learn the essentials of a biodynamic approach. Individual chapters cover such topics as holism and biodynamics; mid-tide, Long Tide, Dynamic Stillness and stillpoint process; the motility of tissues and the central nervous system; transference and the shadow; shamanistic resonances; and more.
