Tomorrow in the classroom space I'll begin to deposit and organize our online course material on the frontal and parietal bones which we will dive deeper into each week. I've changed access to donation based, so now everyone has access, and if the information serves you, consider changing your plan to one of the $10 support tier. Thank you

When covid happened and patients started to have lessened or sometimes entirely loose their whole incomes, I changed the structure of my practice to allow either a regular rate, or a donation based rate, meaning a patient can tell me what is doable for them to access care, and for however long the work needed, care is given. Over the weekend I began creating an online community for my patients, and geared to the public, in sharing practices that help my health, in hopes it may help their health, to move from patient to participant in their own care. There will be nourish with Matt, meditate with Matt, read with Matt, Travel with Matt, Muse on Life with Matt, - and I've called it, with Matt, and placed it on the buy me a coffee platform as a completely donation based offering. As I sat with it, I began to feel, this space should be the same, 100% donation based. If you look in the membership offerings, no longer will there be the freemium, and then an upgrade to the webinars and then an upgrade to . . . etc . . . the classroom space will be free. Instead it will be either: free, choose $10 support, choose $50 support. There will be no change in the information offered from one tier to the next. I will give what I can. You absorb what is needed. If it resonates with you, please choose a support option. Please share with others and grow the community. What I cannot make free is our in person classes, but perhaps you may be inspired to join the core curriculum of the Milne Institute, or the adjunct curriculum I have developed in Chinese Medicine Concepts in Craniosacal and Visceral Contacts, somewhere around the world. I also still need to charge for online one on one or small group mentorship. And this community has grown quite a bit in short time, to 150 members over 17 countries and counting, I feel deeply honored to hold this space together. As in the videos, it is about let's learn together. This year we will continue to focus in on the embyrology, movement, articulations, nerve and vascular innervations, meridian energetics, biological mysticism or poetry, of each major cranial bone and sacrum.

The heart is using the vagus nerve to listen to our external world, and digest it for value on how we feel about it, as we can see by the way the left vagus nerve connects to the AV node, and the right to the SA node, and their resepective recurrent branches wrapping around the aortic arch and subclavian artery to the thyroid, while the main branch continues to our digestive organ. We can hypothesize that being nerve - ous about danger would ask for muscle contraction, the energy for which loaded into the sympathetic nervous system, and this is healthy - but prolonged, all things fatigue, and can set up a pattern where there is depressed or less energy available for the system as it tries to hold together and protect the thing that probably no longer needs protection, stuck in an inertial fulcrum, a moment of time that has passed but being continued to be lived in.

You’ll hear me say in class the body is always moving, and when we step back and look at our person on the treatment table, we may perceive what is moving well, and what is not moving well. To enter the field, to make a contact, is similar to entering a double jump. The dura attaching at the inferior pole of the sacrum and the superior aspect of the inferior pole, the foramen magnum, and between a fluid spine in motion. Tonal match means entering a contact with a pressure that matches the system and person. Too light or too heavy is like entering a double jump too fast or too slow. Either trip up the movement. Also, those are some good dance moves, so some thoughts to work with and enjoy the video. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1JJV2gh6j6/?mibextid=wwXIfr

My other Alias, is I am a writer, and have published one novel called, Flicker: Light of a Lantern, under my pen name, U.B. Light, and my second novel, A Whale's Way Within should be out this August. That to say, I enjoy storytelling. Story stays with us, and in this work, it can remind of our rituals in making a good contact. Story stays within tissues too, and whatever holding, has some story to be told with it. Part 1 is more geared to my U.B. Light name, part 2 toward Craniosacral. I hope you enjoy both.
