Some extra questions from the interview, but not on the video, that will appear in the Singing Dragon newsletter.
I once heard that biodynamic practice is the creative application of a set of principles. Consequently, over all the years I’ve been teaching and making numerous mistakes both clinically and in teaching Primary Respiration, I have settled on a five step process. This process is called:
- orienting
- synchronizing
- attuning
- disengaging
- and ignition
Each of these states or stages of biodynamic perception are practiced each time a clinician’s hands are placed in a new position on a client’s body.
Katherine Ukleja is one of the strongest teachers within biodynamic craniosacral therapy. This piece has just been written for the third seminar on the practitioner training at the Da Sein Institut in Switzerland. It is a great bit of writing and clearly lays out some fundamental principles. We are very happy Katherine agreed to put it on the blog. We are hoping this will be the first in a series of guest blogs by senior figures in the field. www.katherineukleja.co.uk

‘In pathology the body is present, in health the body is transparent.’
Jaap van der Wal (2008)
The book is now available. We were hugely excited to get copies in our hands at the start of last week. It feels like a proper book, which it is, obviously, but it is still slightly surprising. A big thank you to the staff at Jessica Kingsley Publishers for doing a great job. You can order from Singing Dragon, click on the link on the left. We would love to get your feedback. You can leave comments on this post or, really useful for us, give it lots of stars (we hope) and a review on Amazon.
Ever wonder what intuition actually is? Well look no further than your fascial matrix which covers all your muscles, nerves, arteries and veins, organs, bones: in fact every structure in your body. It’s the skin of things. Everything needs a skin to contain and support itself. It also acts as the communication system of the body through which the blood and nerve supplies travel and most of the immune system exists within it. It’s also the most sensitive part of your body and carries the general senses. Most of the time we orient to the world around us through our special senses especially our vision and hearing but that is just a small part of the body’s overall sensory system. The vast majority of our senses are located in our fascia. Feelings of pressure, proprioception and interoception are all located here. The brain needs to know how the body is internally and in relationship to movement.
