Rest "You can always count on anatomy to take you straight through to Grace." Jennifer Weiss But you must drop the anatomy.... James Jealous D.O. ~ An Osteopathic Odyssey pg 80

Rest Meet with others of the same disposition ...it will replenish your soul. Meet and linger. James Jealous D.O. ~ An Osteopathic Odyssey pg 78

Our skill is proportionate to our understanding of Normal Dr. Still points us toward the Health. How do you picture normal? Your sense of normal may limit the transmutative process. Really feel into the question... what does it feel like to be normal? James Jealous D.O. ~ An Osteopathic Odyssey pg 76

Variability Anatomy is never like what is in the books... There is a dynamic of life and very little adynamic anatomy. Finding a fascial plane in a healthy person in a relaxed state is a challenge, why?... James Jealous D.O. ~ An Osteopathic Odyssey pg 74

Bones To understand bones, one must look beyond the anatomical position. Learn how each bone is made, how it is shaped and the origin of its position. Learn its history and how it maintains it's internal wholeness and integrity. Know what a bone is guided by. James Jealous D.O. ~ An Osteopathic Odyssey pg 70

Resting lengthens your life... Rest refreshes your autonomics... just watch your pulse and respirations express relief as you rest. Resting is a lost art: it is a principle of Osteopathy and Life. James Jealous D.O. ~ An Osteopathic Odyssey pg 64

First do no harm Do not synchronize with the person or their thoracic respiration. As nice as this seems it is a means of creating dependency and weak boundaries. You could imprint, lose yourself and not know it. An Osteopathic Odyssey ~ James Jealous pg 61

This is great: https://www.nytimes.com//new-zealand-coronavirus-ardern.ht Still, it makes sense to put it in context: New Zealand has a population of 4.89 million in a country that is 103,483 square miles. California has 39.5 million people in a state that is 163,696 miles. Take away points: trust in the government is important. It's likely that more density in a population will make it harder to return to normal. It's a good day to live in New Zealand.

Synchronize with something healthy. This is where we begin. The patient enters; we see their Health. We ask how can I help you? In the history we listen to the pauses and clarify the tiniest details. When we examine the patient we begin by sensing for something normal: the breathing of Primary Respiration, the Sea Around Us, the presence of the Tide, the Health... Anything Beautiful!... This synchronizes us with Primary Respiration. James Jealous D.O. ~ An Osteopathic Odyssey pg 59

Waiting... There is a healthy place in you. There is a healthy place almost everywhere if we look for it. James Jealous D.O.~ An Osteopathic Odyssey pg 56
