Life expresses itself
as motion. At a deep level of one’s physiological functioning, all
healthy, living tissues subtly “breathe” with the motion of
life – a phenomenon that produces rhythmic impulses. The presence
of these subtle rhythms in the body was discovered by an osteopath by the
name of Dr. William Sutherland over 100 years ago. He realized that the
cranial expresses itself in small degrees of motion. This motion is produced
by the body’s inherent life force which he named the “Breath
of Life”. The motion of cranial bones are connected to the subtle
movements that involve a network of interrelated tissues and fluids at the
core of the body; including cerebrospinal fluid, the central nervous system
and the membranes that surround the central nervous system and the sacrum.The
ability of cells and tissues to express their primary respiratory motion
is a critical factor in determining one’s state of health –
when these rhythms are expressed in fullness and balance, health and well-being
naturally follow.
