Interface: Mechanisms of Spirit in Osteopathy begins with an exploration of the philosophy of Osteopathy and proceeds to synthesize current scientific and esoteric understanding to explain through biochemistry and spiritual principles the unity of body, mind, and spirit. With this knowledge, one can find a model of wellness and a means of guiding a return of structure and function towards health. Osteopathy derives from a philosophy that was born in the mind of A T Still in 1874 which has shown itself to have the power and potency to penetrate and spur therapeutic thought in perpetuity. Still's Osteopathy begins with the premise that body, mind, and spirit are inseparable and, when in order, summon self-healing--the pivotal point for Osteopathic treatment that Still championed. The book illuminates the sources of Still's principles and practice: industrial breakthroughs, popular philosophy, spiritual traditions, as well as personal insight, perception and extensive anatomic investigation. It then synthesizes current scientific and esoteric understanding to explain through biochemistry and spiritual principles the unity of body, mind, and spirit - a model of wellness and a means to guide restructuring and return function towards health. This model emanates from the ideas of William Sutherland, an important student of Still who contributed the Cranial Concept, an unveiling of palpable evidence for self-healing. Those with a penchant for perceiving and practicing both celestial and terrestrial principles of healing will enjoy and benefit from this book.
