Cranial 4 (C4), Developing the Inner Eye
This class is devoted to developing the essential
craniosacral skills of focus and perception. The inner-eye and
inner-ear are harnessed to sensitive hands-on work with temporomandibular
joint dysfunction (TMD), muscle contraction, migraine and cluster
headaches. The first day begins with the study of psychometry in
diagnosis, perception and visualization. On the second day students
will study brain anatomy and physiology as related to headache
and TMD. Temporomandibular joint approaches are investigated in
detail. Students will then be taught to combine the intuitive reading
of a model's being with an assessment of the position, motility
and energetic loading of their cranial architecture. The accuracy
of their perception will then be assessed by following a cranial
protocol with their model.
On the third and fourth days, students learn the
meaning and "weight" of postures and gestures and how
to apply intuitive diagnostic information to the invaluable rituals
of shamanistic naming and use of totems. This combination of the
perceptive, tactile and the experiential is what makes Visionary
Craniosacral Work "The High Art."
