These findings have only recently gained validity in conventional medical circles. If is now making it's way into mainstream medical literature. In many cases, otitis media resolves itself. The natural resilience and springiness of the bones and other tissues, together with the body's own healing mechanisms, often allow the stresses and strains to be resolved. However, in many other cases incomplete resolution takes place and Cranial Integration can be extremely helpful in aiding the body's healing processes to recover from the experience.
Few births are easy for either mother or child.
This short journey is probably one of the most difficult we ever encounter, but it was what we were designed to do, and there are helpful measures to ease the passage, such as flexibility of the bones of the head, including their ability to overlap, and maternal hormones that allow the pelvic ligaments to relax in order to widen the pelvic outlet width. Often, the strong contractions will begin without sufficient cervical dilatation, and the exit from the womb isn't big enough for the babies head. The baby is forced, head downwards, onto the unyielding cervix and pelvic bones, and the large forces produced by such repetitive movements can traumatize the baby's soft, flexible cranium, as well as cause the infant physiological and psychological stress. As the baby leaves the womb, it enters the birth canal where it has to undergo a number of twists and turns before it finally arrives into the world. These twists and turns help to mold the baby's head.
