Abstract:

Purpose: Some osteopaths see no space in osteopathy for philosophical or religious aspects. It is the task of this thesis to work out the importance of philosophy as a prerequisite for wise sensing provided that sensing is the precondition necessary for a meaningful action by physiological fundamentals and quotations of A.T. Still. Design of the study: Literature study Results: - The assimilating parasympathetic part of the vegetative nervous system correlates extensively with the assimilating sensorial processes of the nervous system. The rhythmical synchronisation with this part of the vegetative nervous system by the Osteopath supports him in improving his capacity of sensing. - Also in posture, there are two opposite body systems, one that is receptive, the tonic system, and another which is productive, the phasic system. Osteopaths who synchronize with the tonic system and avoid synchronisation with phasic muscular movement-intentions as far as possible can improve their capacity of sensing. - The free floating uninhibited breath during inspiration as well as during exspiration is a precondition in order to gain a clear image of reality by sensing. - Thinking can cause a false fulcrum for sensing and distort the process of treatment. - The osteopath has to synchronize with the beginning of motion, which is precognitive and not with the beginning of thinking consciousness. Conclusion: The nature of sensing is the comprehension and proclamation of the unknown in order to widen the meaningful scope of action. Therefore it has to be unrestrained by stress (Chapter 3.1), by patterns of flight (Chapter 3.2), by fear (Chapter 3.3) by incorrect concepts of thinking (Chapter 3.4) and by egoistic consciousness (Chapter 3.5). Consequently, a philosophy is necessary which creates a frame for sensing exceeding these conditions and conveying confidence.
