Synopses & Reviews
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. He explains the importance of meditation, centering, and the cultivation of heartfulness in the development of compassionate practice. Milne introduces the reader to the story of visionary work—its genesis, evolution, philosophy, and practice—and explains how a grounding in meditation, sensitive touch, and intuitive perception can lead to a remarkable unfoldment in skill development.
Synopsis
Designed for the layperson, Volume 1 of The Heart of Listening emphasizes the importance of bodywork as an art, a dialogue, and a collaboration between client and practitioner. Author and teacher Hugh Milne discusses how to initially approach a client and stresses that learning about the client is an essential part of the caregiving process. Famous writings and case examples complete his discussion of this unique style of bodywork.
