Visionary Craniosacral Work ™ is a soothing, noninvasive, hands-on therapy. The craniosacral system includes the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid, the system of membranes inside the cranium, all 22 cranial bones, the spine and the sacrum.
What the Navajo call ‘the wind’s child,’ Genesis calls ‘the breath of life.’ It is a silent force, a field of chi, which blows through the craniosacral system, animates it, and infuses it with information and intelligence.
It is possible to listen to this field. The ability to do this is called ‘the heart of listening.’ The Milne Institute offers a complete, in-depth training in the heart of listening, a visionary approach to craniosacral work.

M. Alexander’s work and the mastery needed to practically change a person’s “use.”
