Harold Magoun Sr's Osteopathy in the Cranial Field brings to life the ways in which we are all connected and how the bones of the cranium house our brain, facilitate flow of fluids in the body, and support our ability to communicate. This book helps you to get connected to the give and take, the balance and flow of the bones around the eyes, making it easier to see the world, the bones surrounding the ears and supporting your ability to hear music and people's voices as well as protecting brain matter, the seat of communication, will, voluntary muscle movement, sleep-wake regulation, conscious thought, adaptation to stress and so much more.
While I was attending an Osteopathy Conference, answering the question, "What do you do when the bones are out of place," osteopathic physician Harold Magoun Jr (son of the author) said, "Bones don't have places, they have relationships." This book is about those relationships.
Kris Albrecht, director of the Cranial Company, a part of the Connecticut School of Integrative Manual Therapy in Bloomfield, Connecticut, often says, "We all want to live from our hearts, but what gets in the way? Our thoughts, our head. Cranial work is work that gets our thoughts, ourselves out of the way, unblocked, so we can live joyful, conscious, healthy lives."
