What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.
Michael Shea, Ph.D. is a renowned Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy teacher and adjunct faculty at the Institute of Graduate Studies (Santa Barbara). His specialty is the field of embryology. In a recent Foundation Training in Vancouver Shea mentioned that emerging research shows us that during the prime time from conception to about the age of two the fetus and infant are completely vulnerable to the mothers emotional and physical experiences. Those experiences are absorbed by the infant and are the lens through which the emerging adult not only views but experiences the world. The amygdale is a critical bilateral structure located in the temporal lobes of the brain. About the size of an almond, the amygdale is oriented to the perception of fear. It is part of the brain that is primarily functioning for the first months of life. It monitors the vocal tones of people around it, body gestures and facial expressions. The infant is constantly evaluating whether it needs to be afraid or not
