Originally published as a single volume, The Heart of Listening has been re-issued as two separate volumes because of public demand for a more concise, portable edition. Milne, a third generation Scottish osteopath, begins by explaining the visionary approach to healing, and how it may be applied to the realm of craniosacral work. In the second volume, Milne details the anatomy, physiology, energetics, and techniques that are the essential core of visionary craniosacral work. His particular genius lies in his ability to weave a delicate tapestry of narrative, poetry, and scientific fact into a fascinating and insightful exposition of the visionary healing arts.

About the Author
Hugh Milne is a third-generation Scottish osteopath. He spends most of professional time teaching visionary craniosacral work in Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, and Switzerland. He was born in 1948 and received his professional training at the British College of Naturopathy and Osteopathy in London. Repeated and startling clairvoyant revelations before and after graduation led to a determination to learn more about working with the inner eye. This search for higher teachings took him to India, where he lived for seven years. Hugh spent the last fifteen years developing his teaching work. He lives in Big Sur, California, where he is the director of the Milne Institute.

5.0 out of 5 stars
definitive source for craniosacral work,
By Elsah Cort (Three Rivers, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Heart of Listening: A Visionary Approach to Craniosacral Work: Anatomy, Technique, Transcendence, Volume 2 (Heart of Listening Vol. 2) (Paperback)
Milne's two-volume text is superb and comprehensive in scope. It describes, in detail, the anatomy, physiology, and energetics of the craniosacral system. Volume One offers Milne's visionary approach to the practice of craniosacral therapy, drawing from an intelligent, diverse collection of energy work, including the dreambody work of Arnold Mindell, Eastern meditative practices, Indigenous shamanic traditions, as well as the genius discoveries by William Garner Sutherland, the patriarch of craniosacral work, and many other organic sources. Volume Two is the most complete list of craniosacral techniques in print, giving clearly written descriptions for each technique, along with technically accurate photographs. The Heart of Listening is clearly the best text for practitioners who want to expand and deepen the healing process with their clients. Volume One is also a good tool for all bodyworkers and psychotherapists, not just craniosacral therapists. The only thing that surpasses this book is the curriculum provided by the Milne Institute itself, offering excellent classes, each of which is Visionary Craniosacral Work in action. Milne describes the work as "sculpting the conscious medium" and this book is a sculpted conscious work of art. It is a valuable book to read and digest again and again, over a long period of time, savoring its wisdom and depth of experience.

This review is from: The Heart of Listening: A Visionary Approach to Craniosacral Work: Anatomy, Technique, Transcendence, Volume 2 (Heart of Listening Vol. 2) (Paperback)
Hugh Milne's 2 vol. set combines poetry, art, and technique in the field of Craniosacral Therapy. Great insight to the therapist's process, as well as, the client. It goes beyond the technical to the artful and creative process of being with your client, as you help their body heal itself. Not only beautiful, and inspiring, but deals, in detail, with the technical aspects of craniosacral work. It is a definite "must" in the library of the body worker who wants to go beyond the ordinary.
