The indications for cranial treatment are analogous to those found in the general background of osteopathic practice, wherein structural malalignment with restricted articular mobility and tense ligamentous tissue disturb the pathway of the nutrient arterial stream of irrigation. In addition to the "supremacy of the artery," stressed by Dr Andrew Taylor Still, cranial osteopathy merely moves upward a step by indicating the nutrient cerebrospinal fluid as the primary irrigation of the "withering fields," as likely envisaged in the Founder's "Philosophy of Osteopathy."

I am happy to have gotten this work which is out of print

5.0 out of 5 stars Bones Don't Have Places, They Have Relationships
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2012
Harold Magoun Sr's  Osteopathy in the Cranial Field  brings to life the ways in which we are all connected and how the bones of the cranium house our brain, facilitate flow of fluids in the body, and support our ability to communicate. This book helps you to get connected to the give and take, the balance and flow of the bones around the eyes, making it easier to see the world, the bones surrounding the ears and supporting your ability to hear music and people's voices as well as protecting brain matter, the seat of communication, will, voluntary muscle movement, sleep-wake regulation, conscious thought, adaptation to stress and so much more.

At an Osteopathy Conference, answering the question, "What do you do when the bones are out of place," osteopathic physician Harold Magoun Jr (son of the author) said, "Bones don't have places, they have relationships." This book is about those relationships.

Kris Albrecht, director of the Cranial Company, a part of the Connecticut School of Integrative Manual Therapy in Bloomfield, Connecticut, often says, "We all want to live from our hearts, but what gets in the way? Our thoughts, our head. Cranial work is work that gets our thoughts, ourselves out of the way, unblocked, so we can live joyful, conscious, healthy lives."

- from Kimberly Burnham, PhD, The Nerve Whisperer and author of  Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle: Sleep Better, Learn Faster, Contribute More, and Enjoy Life to Its Fullest (Recover Your Life Through Brain Health)  and  Our Fractal Nature, A Journey of Self-Discovery and Connection

I read other books also like:- Leon chittow and others ,what I felt -others books are copied from this book.
