Product Description
Charles Ridley is known for having refined a version of biodynamic craniosacral work that is nonmedical and nonmechanical. In Stillness, he clarifies the three fundamental types of this work — biomechanical, functional, and biodynamic. He explains the requirements and pitfalls of each model, and how to discern the differences and similarities between them. He guides the practitioner experientially to explore what he is describing, and offers exercises drawn from his own practice to help therapists access directly the whole felt-body sense that connects each individual with the Breath of Life.

 rest in what is ( dante805 )
This isn't your bio-cranio-dynamic toolbox; it is, instead, a profound and precisely nuanced exploration of the feel of consciousness as it traverses the tissue we know as the body.
No hammers, saws, intentions, suggestions, or directed energy; here the practitioner is invited to rest in what is, without desires or expectations.
If this intrigues you, this is the book for you.

Let's have a bit of fresh air please ( kikooyoo )
definitly an intelligent and non efferent point of view. It is the very first time that i can really read something different (F.Sills and friends are so numerous...).
Anyway, thanks for your intelligence Mr Ridley...thanks a lot because Osteopathy is not about techniques but principles, experiences and philosophy... Love from France

 Disappointed ( eagleyes )
I am a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist with a full-time practice. I have taken Craniosacral courses from the Upledger Institute, and have taken the Biodynamic Foundation training with Michael Shea, and have taken several advanced Biodynamic Craniosacral classes with Michael Shea and Franklyn Sills who are very well grounded in the Biodynamic work. I am disappointed in Charles Ridley's portrayal of the Biodynamic Craniosacral community by his apparent limited experience in his studies of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. To apply his opinions from his experience with one Biodynamic teacher to the rest of the Biodynamic community seems irresponsible.

Well described
Charles was able to describe the states one experiences with Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy better than anyone else I have read so far. Anyone who has practiced "regular" CranioSacral therapy for awhile will be able to relate to his descriptions and I believe understand the basis of Biodynamic CranioSacral work, even before they take their first course. This is a must for those who practice both CranioSacral therapy and meditation, as they will understand the connection between both.

a book of breathing ( ladderpro )
Like speaking of the tao, one breaks stillness to speak of stillness . Consciousness can only be realized, not known. Spirit and matter are so different in nature, yet have the same origin. Charles reflects on that fulcrum through which source is made manifest. This is a book that breathes the 'Breath of Life'. Thank you Charles for bringing this to our awareness.
