I had begun to open and close my yoga practise with hip opening poses with the specific intention of releasing tension in my psoas and hip flexors. I’d breathe and imagine tension flowing out of constricted muscles to be released as energy into the torso. It worked, I’d feel my body soften yet somehow grow stronger. Reading Liz Koch I instantly realized what I was doing – by learning to relax my psoas I was literally energizing my deepest core by reconnecting with the powerful energy of the earth. According to Koch, the psoas is far more than a core stabilizing muscle; it is an organ of perception composed of bio-intelligent tissue and “literally embodies our deepest urge for survival, and more profoundly, our elemental desire to flourish.”

Cranial sacral therapy works with the cranium which is the head, with the skull bones, all the different skull bones, and the sacrum which is at the other end of the base of spine. The sacrum. The two work together through a tube that goes between the two of them and we influence that structure. So, how this works is the different colors that you see here are different bones of the head.
They stay mobile throughout your life contrary to what has been taught in a number of anatomy classes.
