What is Biodynamic Cardiovascular Therapy, Part 2
Question: Being a lymph drainage therapist myself the idea of working with the lymph system craniosacrally looks quite appealing to me. Mainly because it is also a vast body system with many branches all around the fluid system of our body. Also the lymph should be moved by the Primary Respiration. What do you think about this? What experiences do you have?
Answer: That’s a very good question especially because of the new research that the brain has a lymphatic system. It turns out that the lymph system of the brain is attached to the major arteries of the brain. And of course this relationship between the vascular system and lymphatic system continues throughout the body. Once again there is an important relationship in the nature of the molecules and cells of the immune system as they are transported between lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. The contemporary client needs a lot of help in shifting the metabolism of the vascular system because this will shift the lymphatic system and thus also the immune system towards normal.
Of course a lot of this research states that the core of the problem is in the intestines where 80% of the immune system is located. Most metabolic problems originate in the lining of the gut as it becomes inflamed due to food sensitivities and emotional stress. It must be stated that important neuro-transmitters like Dopamine and Serotonin are produced principally in the gut more so than the brain. Once again a good starting place for this new emerging model of biodynamic practice with the vascular system is the arteries of the intestines.
I invite you to join me for a special course on working with head injuries and is based on new research. The course will take place at Cortiva Institute in Scottdale, AZ. Course dates are Jan. 22-24, 2016. Contact [email protected] to register.

The research might be interesting but the clinical ramifications of addressing the lymphatic system biodynamically are phenomenal! Many clients experience oedema as a result of surgery, congestive conditions and air travel (I’ve put them in most to least common in my practice) and in all cases holding awareness of the lymphatic system worked remarkably. I’ve had cases of severe oedema post knee surgery disappear within hours of treatment such is the power of the lymphatic system. I have clients who always come to me post flying to ‘jump-start’ their lymphatics.
Now this may sound all a bit symptom based and hence non-biodynamic but if you hold an awareness of the fluid body you are holding the physical lymphatic system, all the ground substance of the connective tissue, the blood and the cerebro-spinal fluid, oh and the mucous. You’re holding the 70-92% fluid of which the lymphatics makers up the major part so personally I don’t have a problem with such dramatic clinical results, how about you?
