Rhythm and quietude.

We may describe the craniosacral rhythm via cranial wave, fluidtide and longitude, a slowing of rhthym accompanied by depth of conciousness.

Cranial wave is described as 4 to 14 cycles per minute. Some say this is an abnormal adoptogenic speed to the pace of modern life, and we are truly meant to live in . . .

Fluidtide, under 3.5 cycles per minute where our senses find attunemnet to perception to see the fabric of things

And long tide, a 100 second cycle of deep quietude and restoration.

Coming into session, there is the semblance of an angreement, of patient and practitioner, two people, or two souls, willing to explore the space of quietude. Our cranial rhythm slows with this intentionality, and we enter fluid tide, where channels of perception of inner listening are much more attuned, and perhaps, we even approach, or fall into the longtide, where ideas of flexion and extension, of finding the lesion, of pulls and patterns disappear, and even the sense of us and them disappears, and even our sense of self. In longtide, there is a suspension of the ego. The "I" falls away. There is only the work. These sessions take upon a form of transformation that may change the trajectory of a person's life. I personally find if we can say, I'm in long tide, then I am not.

It's much easier to touch when a group of people come together, as in Bali, a willingness to enter the quietude.
