**Breath of Life**
**Deepening into Biodynamics**
The intention of this post-graduate course is to review and deepen our understanding of biodynamic principles in clinical work. Within Craniosacral Biodynamics, the Breath of Life is understood to be the conveyor of a universal Intelligence. All of life is maintained by its creative intention. The Breath of Life generates the universal forces that underpin the genesis of all form and underpins embryological formation. This course focuses upon the inherent healing processes orchestrated by the Breath of Life and the potency it generates in the human system. Conceptual and clinical frameworks will be introduced that help orient practitioners to its action and presence. A series of perceptual and clinical exercises will be explored that, in a graded manner, aid in the clarification and deepening of these concepts and phenomena. This can have direct impact upon clinical outcomes, allow the practitioner greater ease in session work, and hopefully deepen participant's trust in the intelligence present in the human system.
Areas explored include the nature of the inherent treatment plan, the relational field, the pivotal nature of the holistic shift as a fundamental starting point in session work, orientation to the three bodies - the physical, fluid and tidal bodies – the unfolding of the inherent treatment plan as a function of primary respiration and the Intelligence of the human system, fluid tide dynamics, Long Tide and field phenomena, the three bodies perceived as a suspensory system – field suspended within field, all suspended within Dynamic Stillness, embryological forces and the primal midline, the energetic and physical refolding/reorganization of the tissue field as embryological forces come to the forefront, the Dynamic Stillness as a gateway to a relationship with the Breath of Life.
This course is highly recommended for practitioners who want to deepen their clinical understanding of biodynamics in craniosacral therapy.
Franklyn Sills MA RCST BCST UKCP
Franklyn is the co-Director of the Karuna Institute, Devon UK, and has been teaching in this field for over 32 years. He is the early pioneer in the worldwide development of a biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy, which orients to the underlying forces that generate our form and maintain the best possible equilibrium in our mind-body systems throughout life. His work has influenced many current teachers in the U.S.A. and Europe. He has presented at many Conferences over the last twenty years and his books, Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics Volumes 1 and 2, are seminal texts in the field. Franklyn has also help develop Core Process Psychotherapy, a mindfulness-based psychotherapy form and continues to lecture and train students in that field. His published works include The Polarity Process, Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics vol. 1 and 2, and Being and Becoming, Psychodynamics, Buddhism and the origins of selfhood. Franklyn also offers biodynamic foundation and post-grad courses internationally, including America, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Switzerland.
