In the Beginning

From the very beginning we are aware, even as a tiny embryo, even before the central nervous system is formed. It is as if every cell in the body can remember our whole story.
How we begin life and how our newly discovered presence is received affects us deeply.

PRIMARY PERCEPTION is a cellular and whole body awareness that is present throughout development. It does not depend on the brain and central nervous system.

PRIMARY RESPIRATION is present as cellular breathing, in the flow of cell fluids even in the first cells of conception. Later it is expressed throughout the whole body as a subtle life pulse. It has a tide like movement which seems to arise from the core of the body, in the fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This is the craniosacral rhythm.
