Craniosacral therapy is based on the belief that functions of the human system are maintained and integrated by a biodynamic force known as 'primary respiration,' or the breath of life. Found in the brain, spinal cord, and bodily fluids, this rhythmic pulse promotes healing and health. Written for students and practitioners but accessible to lay readers, this text presents the fundamental concepts and techniques of a method that redirects the cerebrospinal fluid to areas of imbalance, thus enhancing overall health. Volume One covers both the history and conceptual ideas fundamental to Craniosacral Biodynamics, as well as the more complex structural and tissue relationships.

Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics provides a thorough grounding in the clinical skills necessary for a biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy. Franklyn Sills emphasizes "perceptual skills," which enable practitioners to sense subtle sensations and intuitive insights foundational to holistic somatic therapy. This approach stems from W. G. Sutherland, DO, who transitioned from a biomechanical to a holistic perspective, focusing on the "Breath of Life" as the source of healing forces. Sutherland advocated for allowing inherent ordering forces, or "potency," to guide treatment without external intervention. Sills has been instrumental in advancing this biodynamic approach beyond the osteopathic profession, and his new work updates earlier texts. Volume Two expands on the previous volume, offering an overview of the biodynamic approach, highlighting the suspensory nature of the human system and the "three bodies"—physical, fluid, and tidal. It delves into early life experiences, including embryonic and pre- and perinatal periods, with a focus on birth dynamics and craniosacral responses to birth trauma. The text also covers the primal midline and related tissue structures, exploring the pelvis, vertebral axis, cranial base, face, and hard palate. The volume concludes with chapters on the neurophysiology of stress and trauma, integrating biodynamic approaches to address these issues alongside craniosacral and verbal skill

In this thorough, award-winning explanation of the theory and practice of polarity, cranial osteopath Franklyn Sills guides the reader through Dr. Randolph Stone’s mapping of humans’ subtle energies. Popular in Europe, polarity incorporates holistic health, diet, exercise, massage, and spiritual practice. This is an approachable introduction to a form of bodywork that therapists and lay individuals interested in alternative health practices will find useful.

Covering the period c.1200-c.2000, this book provides an innovative investigation of entrepreneurship in a long-run historical perspective, presenting new insights into the personal characteristics of successful business people and deepening our understanding of the roots of industrialization and economic growth.

Praxe kraniosakrální biodynamiky není jen technikou vytvořenou člověkem na základě dobré myšlenky, ale je založena na jednoduchém a hloubkovém pozorování způsobu, jakým léčí příroda. Zahrnuje praktické postupy, jak se orientovat na přírodní síly, jež organizují naši formu a funkci, i na způsoby, jak podpořit priority jejich léčivých záměrů. Tato metoda byla postupně vyvinuta na základě otevřeného učení a pozorné přítomnosti praktikantů pracujících pomocí rukou, kteří v oboru působili v průběhu celého století. Zakladatel Karuna Institutu Franklyn Sills, jeden z průkopníků tohoto přístupu, významně přispěl k rozvoji této praxe. Tato nejnovější autorova kniha zřetelně a výstižně orientuje čtenáře na biodynamické chápání kraniosakrální práce a ukazuje, jak mohou být tyto principy léčby aplikovány v klinické praxi.
