Book Review
Wisdom in the body. The Craniosacral approach to Essential Health. Michael Kern

I love this book. It is my all time favorite cranial text book. It is a strait forward introduction to Cranio-sacral work. It reads well, the concepts are in a logical way laid out and discussed. Kern is extremely knowledgeable about the subject. He has a unique gift in translating complex subject matters into easily understandable and digestible language. The illustrations are very clear. You get a sense of the scientific benefits of this form of therapy AND the beauty of it. If there ever was a cranial book that you could read beneficially before bed time, this is it. I recommend this book to all professionals who want to know more about this modality. It will help you decide if you want to study cranial work. It will also give you clear guidance to which of your clients would benefit from this form of therapy. Ursula Popp

I couldn't have put it better than the last reviewer. This is by far, my favorite book that I've read on the subject of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. Kern has an amazing ability to put things into laymans terms, and because of that, this book is an incredible joy to read. Franklyn Sills, while a brilliant mind, doesn't really know how to break it down into terms a common person can understand. Upledger, who is clinically and medically gifted, also tends to overcomplicate the subject of cranialsacral work in his writings. Pick this book up, it's a must as a starting point.

I'm an LMP taking a Craniosacral Therapy certtifcation and this books is an item on our assigned reading list. I'm only halfway through the book and I'm already very impressed with it's clarity in explaining the technique. It explains Craniosacral simply enough for non-bodyworkers to understand without dumbing it down. I highly recommend this book for an introduction into Craniosacral for both potential practitioners as well as potential clients who want to understand the technique.
