⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Solid, if not essential.
Needed this for my research. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Happy enough with the purchase.
Long-time student of the esoteric here. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Still worth having on the shelf.
Peirsman’s text is a practical manual for those interested in craniosacral therapy, yet it demands patience and a willingness to accept its underlying spiritual premises. The work is not suitable for skeptics who require rigid biomedical evidence or those uncomfortable with the idea of infants possessing complex consciousness. Readers seeking quick fixes or purely mechanical solutions may find the emphasis on 'subtle blockages' and 'hidden potential' too abstract. However, for those already aligned with holistic philosophies, the detailed illustrations and clear explanations make it a valuable resource. It is best approached as a guide for building intuition rather than a substitute for medical diagnosis, serving those who value the intersection of physical touch and energetic awareness in pediatric care.
