(Rhythmic cranial impulses = Primary respiration = The tide = Our inner physician = Our source of life)

Our primary respiration is not limited to the core elements (see chapter 'The definition of CS') of the body. The tide is expressed throughout the total human system; every cell knows the tide. Every cell breathes, inhaling and exhaling within cycles of primary respiration. Million years of evolution are behind the forms and movements in the body. There are many coordinated self-regulating processes that respond to events and maintain an internal balance and flow. This intelligence defines the chemistry, nervous activity, and alignment in the body. Biodynamic craniosacral therapy experiences this intelligence as an expression of a wider ordering principle in nature.

Our bodies are amazing. We have the ability to heal, change, and adapt to all that life can throw at us. The first stage in healing is to simply become aware of your body. Learn to cultivate skills of being present. Biodynamic craniosacral therapy offers a profound way of helping people to trust the intelligence in the body, to deepen into the stillness, and to learn to appreciate how the body moves and flows in its continual striving for health.
