Summary

Designed to release pain and trauma as well as support the bodyrs"s healing through a gentle, hands-on approach, Craniosacral Therapy (CST) has become an increasingly popular modality. InCranio-Sacral-SELF-Waves, CST expert Olaf Korpiun expands on William Sutherlandrs"s famous theory of the "breath of life," an unexplained power that generates corrections from within our bodies without the influence of external forces applied by the therapist. This new theory, drawing also on physics, anatomy, physiology, embryology, and osteopathy, finds scientific evidence that the original source of craniosacral movement is a resonant movement from an energy field in the universe: it is the oscillating waves of rhythm in the universe, he argues, that control all biological rhythms within all living beings. Dr. Korpiun presents his method of working with patterns of motion in the body, including extremely slow frequencies of movement which he calls "Cranio-Sacral-SELF-Waves ("SELF" standing for "Super-Extreme-Low-Frequency"). By following his approach, says the author, bodyworkers and other health practitioners can work in a more focused and productive way, utilizing practical techniques for treating the widespread rhythmic imbalances that lead to physical and psychological problems.
