- W249997014 abstract "Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (Volumes One, Ilvo & Three) by Michael Shea (2007, 2008 & 2010). Berkeley, CA: North Atlantic Books. ISBN: 978-155643-591-1 (715 -1) (933-9) Michael Shea's three volumes on Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy represent no less than a Proustian achievement in behalf of the therapeutic and pediatric community. The meaning and movement of the moment of conception, and of the early development of a human being are, for Shea, bound to a taste of consciousness that has soaked itself so deeply into the layers of Proust's petit-madeleine cake as to invite a realm of remembrance where the past remains barely embodied, or barely attached to this earthly dimension, and yet is perceivable and palpable in the living present as a sense of the movement and possibility of health and wholeness in the adult body. For just as Proust recovered precious childhood memories embedded in the sensory world of taste, so Shea, by uncoupling the human embryo from its false identity as a Neo-Darwinian utilitarian object, guides us to discover deep resources within ourselves where we can bear witness to, and feel, our embryonic nature as a force of healing. Shea declares that embryology is the new anatomy, and proceeds to reveal the dynamic morphology of the human embryo in a rich language that describes a creation story as much as a contemporary therapeutic modality. In an imaginative writing style that evokes the work of Edward Edinger or James Hillman, Shea skillfully guides the direction of our thought processes to fold into the deep oceanic realm of the subject being presented, in this case, the developing human embryo. In volume one, we are led through a poetic and beautifully illustrated creation story that begins, if one can even speak of beginnings in this context, with the egg that we came from, nestled amongst countless others in the dark, our own mother when she was a six-week old embryo. Soon we encounter the dynamics of conception and the compression of the zygote, from which we are finally released in the expansive movement of implantation. From there we feel the warmth of our first blood circulating around the periphery, which in turn leads us inward to our center in the heart within our primordial body which holds the sacred shape of a mandala. Finally we are unfolded and moved toward the upright gesture in preparation for our birth. Shea means us to understand these forces in the behavior of the embryo as the spiritual process of a sentient being seeking embodiment. The three books reveal a compelling theory and a set of principles based on the importance of an understanding of human embryonic development as a perceptual foundation for successful therapeutic work with infants, children and adults. Shea also contributes to the idea that behavior is not entirely gene dependent, and that prenatal and postnatal environmental factors play a decisive role. He has painstakingly incorporated many elements from the growing body of research in developmental biology and physiology that points to the developmental origins of health and disease. His keen understanding and concise presentation of the complexities of Allan Schore's work in affective neuroscience, particularly evidenced in volume two deserves to be applauded. One of the most powerful themes, and one that becomes symbolically relevant, describes the early two-dimensional embryo having no inside and therefore no choice but to risk projecting the primordia of its organ function out onto the rapidly expanding dimension of its proportionally huge peripheral body, until it can gastrulate, literally grow an inner-space in order to reclaim the projected function on the of its new body as 3 -dimensional organs. …" @default.
