A

Calm
Quiet
Grounded
Stillness

17
Q

In what direction is the Ear Hold process carried out?

A

18
Q

Describe the Temporal Bone Motion

A

The temporals are caught between front and back of head and adapt to the motion of these by a distinctive wobbly wheel motion

They rotate forward on expansion and flare out as they do so the squamous portion rotating forward and out

19

A

4-14 cycles per minute

20
Q

Give rate of mid-tide

A

2-2.5 cycles per minute

21
Q

Give rate of long-tide

A

100 seconds per whole cycle

22
Q

What steps could you take to help you connect to the mid-tide?

A

Xxx

23
Q

What steps could you take to help you connect to the mid-tide?

A 
Relax
Breathe easily
Let go mentally 
Let go in key areas - heart, head, neck, shoulders etc
Let go into deeper spaciousness 
Settle into stillness
Maintain a light touch
Try not to look for things 
Be open to possibility of rhythm
24

What is meant by Reciprocal Tension Membrane System?

A

It is a system which tensions are reflected reciprocally throughout system

Continuously inter connected membranes which surround central nervous system and form cranial Infoldings of Falx Cerebri, Falx Cerebelli and Tentorium Cerebelli which attach to bones of sacrum and cranium
