“Anthony Arnold has crafted an exceptional textbook for
craniosacral therapy. His descriptions are concise and present an
easy-to-follow roadmap into the techniques of craniosacral therapy;
but there is so much more here. His words beautifully capture the
spirit of this work, the power of presence and intention, and the
openness, allowing the wise body to embark on its healing journey.
I highly recommend this book to students at all levels who are
interested in exploring this powerful form of bodywork.”
—Carl Johns, Director, McKinnon Body Therapy Center, Oakland,
California
“Rhythm and Touch is a refreshing change in the landscape of
educational texts. I love this book. It is warm, inviting, and
practical. Arnold's delivery is intelligent and easy to digest,
making it a well-rounded book for beginners, laypeople, and
experienced practitioners alike. It is the next best thing to
actually being in a class with a caring instructor.”
—Ellen Mossman, CMT, craniosacral therapist and instructor,
certified in Visionary Craniosacral Work
“Rhythm and Touch is a book that I loan to my clients when they
want to learn more about craniosacral therapy. I have found that it
is not only clear and accessible for bodywork professionals but
also for our clients. His new edition goes into deeper detail which
will be helpful for those who are interested in how craniosacral
therapy relates to emotional, mental, and spiritual tension.”
—Judith Sullivan, NCTMB, Diplomate-Craniosacral Therapy, and
faculty, The Zero Balancing Health Association
“I first discovered Anthony Arnold's Rhythm and Touch nearly a
decade ago, when searching for just the right textbook to accompany
the Introduction to Craniosacral Therapy classes I taught at the
Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy in Albany,
New York. Even in the book’s original small format, Arnold
presented, through text, illustrations and photos, the perfect
blend of what it takes to be a successful craniosacral therapist:
compassion; presence; knowledge of oneself and the human body; the
ability to slow down and listen; and, of course, curiosity and
enthusiasm.
“This new edition of the book offers even more. With his usual
clarity, Arnold has expanded on the fundamentals of craniosacral
therapy, and even pushed ahead into more advanced material,
including specific techniques for the face and jaw. Equally
valuable are his inclusion of case studies, discussion of
therapeutic dialoguing, and his graceful, practical suggestions for
both teaching and learning. Throughout, Arnold reminds us that what
is paramount to any healing practice is the intentional well-being
of the practitioner. For new and emerging craniosacral
practitioners, Anthony Arnold's Rhythm and Touch continues to be
the ideal textbook.”
—Margery Chessare, LMT, BCST, craniosacral therapist and educator,
founder and co-director, Saratoga Integrative Practitioners
Network
“Rhythm and Touch is the best basic book on craniosacral therapy
that I know of. We have been using this wonderful book since the
start of our school almost twelve years ago. It is indispensable.
We have not used any other book, although we have looked at
several. Craniosacral Therapy is not an easy course but this book
makes it understandable for the students.”
—Craig S. Anderson, LMT, director, Ogden Institute of Massage
Therapy
“This is the best book we've ever used for our craniosacral
training. It is comprehensive and easy to follow. Our students and
instuctors have only good things to say about it. Thank you for
making this book available to our school.”
—Dr. Jack Weaver, director, Northwest Academy of Healing Arts
