Craniosacral Biodynamics, Volume One: The Breath of Life, Biodynamics, and Fundamental Skills

by Franklyn Sills, Dominique Degranges (Illustrator)

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.

About the author

Franklyn Sills (b. 1947) is the author of Craniosacral Biodynamics and Polarity Process, and is founder of Karuna Institute in Devon England.

With a background in Polarity Therapy and Buddhist studies, Sills attended osteopathic college in England in 1981-1984. In college he learned of the work of W.G. Sutherland, DO, and his colleagues, and recognized many contributions of this osteopathic heritage that supported and deepened his perspective on energy therapy and esoteric experience.

Sills developed a Craniosacral Therapy curriculum oriented to esoteric principles in the late 1980s, and refined the concept through clinical experience and teaching throughout the 1990s. Craniosacral Biodynamics was first published (in two volumes) in 2001 as a summary of his findings at that point.

Sills presents his approach in seminars in Europe and North America. Information about these events can be found at the web sites of IABT schools.
