Exploring the connections between Western craniosacral therapy and Chi Kung, Taoist master Mantak Chia and craniosacral instructor Joyce Thom detail movement exercises, breathwork practices, self-massage techniques, and focused meditations from Taoist and other wisdom traditions to release and harmonize the flow of energy in the body and optimize our potential for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The authors link the craniosacral rhythm - the gentle flow of cerebrospinal fluid from the head (cranium) to the tailbone (sacrum) - and the flow of chi throughout the body, circulated by the pumps of the three tan tiens.
