Movement gives health and life.
Stagnation brings disease and death.
All healthy, living tissues of the body fully 'breathe' with the motion of life, producing subtle rhythmic impulses which can be palpated by sensitive hands. The These rhythmic movements were discovered by Dr. William Garner Sutherland, after he had an insight whilst examining the sutures of cranial bones. Dr. Sutherland realised that these sutures were, in fact, designed for motion. During many years of research, he demonstrated the existence of this motion and concluded that it is essentially produced by the body's inherent life force, which he called the Breath of Life . From an early stage he understood that he was exploring a subtle, involuntary system of rhythmic movement which is important for the maintenance of health.
