I woke early and watched an old video of Franklyn Sills, founder of Craniosacral Biodynamics, state that this modality is “grounded in the perception of the forces at work in the human system” and that we “work with the field, in direct relationship.” That is what Biodynamic Meditation is about: cultivating harmony within our personal biological fields and with the larger fields we exist in: our relational fields and the spaces we inhabit, including our planetary field. In one of my previous n=1 investigations of life and well-being, I explored HeartMath, using a sensor when I meditated to measure my heart rate variability and coherence. Coherence is defined as the quality of forming a unified whole. I got out my dusty HeartMath sensor this morning and clipped it to my earlobe, started a HeartMath session with sounds and vibrations off — and also started an Insight Timer session. I wanted to get some biofeedback about coherence during Biodynamic Meditation. Results: Over the 40-minute session, I was in high coherence 84 percent of the time. I’ll keep doing it, but it certainly indicates that Biodynamic Meditation increases coherence. Oh, and today’s my birthday! #biodynamicmeditation #craniosacralbiodynamics #franklynsills #cranialsacraltherapy #craniosacral #bcst #biodynamiccraniosacraltherapy #perception #field #harmony #investigations #heartmath #coherence #heartratevariability #hrv #meditation #unifiedfield #biofeedback (at Manchaca, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXfj8FuWJQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I heard a cardinal chirping when I first awoke, a sign that spring is coming. They nest here every year. I love hearing and seeing them. I went to work on my business website, editing and updating my offerings, before I even remembered to meditate. Staying at home during this Texas ice storm has thrown my rhythms off. Radiance came first, then third eye, solar plexus, heart, and root chakras, followed by a little bit of tide and a lot of swirliness. Swirliness moved through my upper back, shoulders, and neck, reminding me to use better posture, because when I get into a writing trance, I can easily forget I have a body until it reminds me. Swirliness also addressed issues in my upper abdomen, in the middle where stomach and liver abut. It could have been my omentum, too, the layer of adipose tissue that moves to cuddle needy abdominal organs, bringing them extra resources. We are simply fascinating! Every single one of us is a walking miracle. #biodynamicmeditation #craniosacralbiodynamics #cranialsacraltherapy #craniosacral #biodynamiccraniosacraltherapy #meditation #radianceatmyface #tide #chakras #swirliness #youareawalkingmiracle (at Manchaca, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIQL50J2bK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Os Sacrum There’s many languages to discuss the body. Some can only hear “science” and mechanisms, others speak “energy” while others may only discern only “woo woo.” The sacrum, a triangular bone deemed sacred by our Latin anatomist ancestors due to its shape, has dural attachments to about the second sacral segment. In chi gong, this is a “chi gate.” In #cranialsacraltherapy, it is a cerebrospinal fluid pump. In mechanical terms, the sacrum and the pelvic floor are a major diaphragm of the body. #sacrum #ossacrum #pelvis #pelvicfloor #chigate #cranialsacral #cranio #craniosacral #craniosacraltherapy #sacralalignment #dura #duramater #bodymechanics #humanarchitecture #energeticanatomy #adaptablepolarity https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnzn0pWvDDK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Life and death are of supreme importance. Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost. Each of us should strive to awaken. Awaken. Take heed, do not squander your life.” ~ Dogen Zenji This quote from Dogen has stayed with me from my early Zen days, and I’m finding it handy when I need more focus. Yesterday I learned that I may need to find a new place to live in the coming months. This morning, my adored one messaged he’d started having symptoms of COVID. I’ve been exposed. I’ve escaped it so far, one of the few. Here I sit with change, hoping for the best outcomes on both counts, holding confidence in that. My Biodynamic Meditation was deep. Breaths, posture, radiance at my face, Tide in central energy channel. Healing energy in pelvic floor, heart center, ajna chakra. Balanced resources. Sometimes there’s so much stillness and relaxation in Craniosacral Biodynamics sessions, the practitioner’s head involuntarily nods…which instigates alertness. That happened, too. #biodynamicmeditation #craniosacralbiodynamics #cranialsacraltherapy #dogen #quotes #awakening #change #newsofdifference #outcomes #confidence #radianceatmyface #tide #centralenergychannel #pelvis #heart #ajnachakra #balance #selfhealing #healingenergy #cranialnod (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuL_nKOi1b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today started with all the emotions. The past few days have actually. I am 14 years NEW today. Happy ReBirthday to me! 14 years ago, my now, wife and I were out to a Brazilian Girls concert with some friends from work. They had no idea of our 2 year relationship that we had kept very much a secret. There was big stigma of account dating a creative person that wasn't a two-way stigma at the agency. Hence our secrecy. That night however we were not “together” because we had broken up for probably the 7th time, the month prior in the most beautiful place I had ever been to in Costa Rica. . But leaving the concert Sofia opted to ride with the friends. Any other night the choice would have been the opposite. It saved her life. She was in the car in front of me. I was t-boned as I passed through a STOP sign. . 7 weeks in Bellevue with 3 of those being in a coma. 2 of which were a “medical mystery”. The doctors said I should be screaming in pain after being taken off the morphine drip. (#akashicrecords explained what was happening…) . Sofia was the last person I saw before the coma and she first person I saw when I came out. She was at my bedside every night after work until I left. And after 4 grueling weeks of rehabilitation learning to feed myself, stand and walk again, I was able to walk out of the hospital not being the same person that went in. . That OLD “me" DIED twice in that car accident. Literally and figuratively. I flatlined for a few minutes in the ambulance and again on the operating table. I kept trying to be “Old me” for a long time. I didn’t KNOW who “he” had now BECOME. I kept trying to piece together my OLD self with these NEW parts that I had not recognized. . To get to where I am today, the journey was arduous. I had short-term memory loss from the #TBI. It took some time, lots of #cranialsacraltherapy and a consistent twice daily meditation practice that continues to this day - to deal with the PTSD that I suffered. . This life is a result of my recovery. #storybookending . I have not played a Brazilian Girls track since. Not once. #blackonblackbk #tragedyturnedtriumph #medicalmystery #miracle (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdHiiHAuj3y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
