The Spiral in Phase 7: A Living symbol of movement
In Phase 7 of Ortho-Bionomy, the spiral is more than a symbol — it is the simplest expression of energy in motion. Appearing in nature, geometry, and healing practice, the spiral reveals coherence, resonance, and the natural rhythm of life.
Phase 7 of Ortho-Bionomy: A Dream of Symbols and Energy
Phase 7 of Ortho-Bionomy carries a mythic quality — revealed to Arthur Lincoln Pauls in a dream of symbols, energy, and subtle presence. It continues to unfold as a living pattern, guiding practitioners through resonance, spiral, and the quiet intelligence of the body.
Ortho-Bionomy Principles in Practice: Aligning with the Natural Laws of Life
Ortho-Bionomy reflects the natural laws of life. Rooted in comfort and presence, its principles reveal how the body, like nature, reorganises through rhythm and ease.
Ortho-Bionomy and the Natural Laws of Life: A reflection on the ideas that shaped the work
Ortho-Bionomy carries a listening — to the body and to the deeper rhythms of life. Rooted in principles from osteopathy, martial arts, and homeopathy, it reveals the laws already shaping nature and the body. This reflection explores how those laws guide both practitioner and client into deeper healing, awareness, and self-understanding.
The Philosophical Roots of Ortho-Bionomy: Principles That Shaped the Practice
Ortho-Bionomy is rooted in principles drawn from osteopathy, martial arts, and homeopathy. Arthur Lincoln Pauls described it as “the right application of the natural laws of life.” This blog traces those laws — from comfort and proprioception to gentleness and resonance — revealing how Ortho-Bionomy aligns with the body’s intelligence and the rhythms of nature.
The Healing Reflex in Ortho-Bionomy: The Body’s movement towards Alignment
In Ortho-Bionomy, the healing reflex begins when the proprioceptive nerves reset through positional release. It is the body’s innate movement toward balance, alignment, and flow — a reflex that shows us healing arises from within.
What is a nerve reset, really? Understanding Proprioceptive Release and Whole-Body Reorganisation in Ortho-Bionomy®
What does it really mean to experience a nerve reset? In Ortho-Bionomy, it refers to a precise moment when the nervous system releases a sustained holding pattern within a joint. This shift is initiated through comfort, safety, and gentle compression — allowing the proprioceptive system to reorganise and reorient the body toward ease, balance, and whole-body integration.
Honouring the Body: How Phase 5 of Ortho-Bionomy Supports Lasting Change Through Expression
Phase 5 of Ortho-Bionomy supports the body to express what it holds through subtle, involuntary movement. In this blog, we explore how micromovement allows tension patterns to reorganise through support rather than pressure — inviting integration, clarity, and a deeper connection with the body’s own lived intelligence.
THE SUBTLE MOVEMENTS AND PROFOUND TRANSFORMATION WITHIN PHASE FIVE ORTHO-BIONOMY
Phase Five Ortho-Bionomy reveals the quiet intelligence of the body through micro-movements—subtle, unconscious shifts that speak volumes. Rooted in proprioceptive awareness and guided by presence rather than pressure, this gentle phase allows the body to initiate its own healing process, leading to deep release and realignment. What may seem almost imperceptible from the outside holds the potential to transform from within, offering a high-definition experience of the body’s self-corrective nature.
