Biodynamics are the original motion that arise from the creative intelligence at the heart of of all manifestation.

We call our woodwork biodynamic because of it’s energetic properties.
The dynamics can be summarized in the image of a vortex (the maelstrom). You can see all aspects of biodynamics in a maelstrom. There is of course the vortex. The suction effect of the middle and the field around the maelstrom. I even detected small midlines when I was there. And small ignitions on the midline as the whirls got going.
The biodynamics are naturally present when we work with the wood. We do not have to do anything for it.
Over the years we have made many discoveries about the biodynamics and the properties they have. Sentient Building is a powerful activity that has a profound effect on it’s surroundings (a bit like the Long-tide). This made it necessary to learn a lot about what the energies are and how they interact with each other. humans, animals and environment.
Biodynamic woodwork works like a mirror to look inside. It inspires to wholeness. De Maalstroom is a very present, but not a compelling force.
Below I elaborate on the most important dynamics and how they express themselves in supporting energies for cranio.

Properties of the noise-reducing Cranio Table
Properties of the noise-reducing Cranio Tabll

Properties of the Cranio Table that are related to the Biodynamics
Radiotion fields such as WiFi, 4G or electro smog are examples of what we call noise. Noise causes stress for the body. De Maalstroom has been working with these field for years and found ways to reduce their impact. That does not mean that the radiation is gone. It does mean that the person who is sensitive to it gets rest. The effect of noise- reducement during cranio sessions is that stillness is more easily achieved. This is also what we mean when we say that a good craniotable is one with therapist and client.
Grounding is a healing basic. It’s related to our connection with our bodies. The cranio table has grounding properties and helps people connect to their body.
One effect of the cranio table is the experience of inner space. This makes it much easier to look at and solve issues we carry with us.
During my advanced classes with Etienne Piersman, he explained that the extra energy available during multiple hands sessions has an effect on speed and depth of the sessions.
The biodynamics of the cranio table cause a similar effect.
During resourcing session, when we work a lot with stillpoints, the effect of the table is strong.
De Maalstroom and also cranio tables, can be very transformative. During transformation, out system is brought into a new balance. It’s wise then, when this happens, to support the process instead of interrupting it.
As a craniosacral therapist, you have learned to listen to a intelligence. This will also make you sensitive to the supportive working of the biodynamics of the table. And intuitively you will do what needs to be done and be a witness.
Transformation has a number of phases:
- connection/ contact
- Becoming One
- energy exchange
- letting go
- become two again
These phases can also be found in cranio sessions. I often guided my students on these phases. They take place in your hands and also on the level of consciousness. In your hands it feels although they are glued to the client until phase 5 comes in.

General effect of the midline dynamics
The midline is one of the most influential biodynamics of our system. She is related to the authentic self (beyond the ego) and our strength. Distraction of this power also distracts us of our will to listen o our own hearts. When this happens we tend to listen to others instead of ourselves.
Midline and wood
In biodynamic woonword and in Maelstroms the dynamic of the midline is strongly present. Especially in long shapes like swords. The cranio table has a strong midline dynamic as well especially the base of the table, where the feet are connected to.
Effect on people
The influance of midline energy on people is an emediate sense of being at home in oneselfDe inwerking van de middellijnkracht geeft mensen het gevoel dat ze onmiddellijk thuis zijn bij zichzelf. Op de craniobank merk je dat aan de rust en diepe stilte die al vrijwel meteen begint als mensen gaan liggen. As a therapist you’ll find that clients experience deep rest and silence as soon as they take place at the table.
General effect of the vortexes
The vortex is related to inner and outer movement. And the movement between the inner and the outer (chakra’s for example). There is a vortex in the exterior of the human system, which is related to the primary breath of life, from which craniosacral rothm arises. Dysfunction of vortex energy expresses itself in difficulty to create in life itself. Te set things in motion. Vortexes play major role in energy release and transformation.
Vortex in wood
In biodynamic woodwork alternating vortexes are perceptible. The energy rotates generally spoken 45 seconds to the right and 45 seconds to the left, like the long tide. Maelstroms do not have to be clensed or exposed to the moonlight, since they are provided with the energy to do so themselfves, This property comes from the vortexes in Maelstroms
Effect on people
The vortex have a strong transforming effect on people.
General effect of the influential field
The Influential field is relateerde to the ability to interact in the collective field. In the human system the aura is an example of an influential field. The influential field has protective abilities. When too open, it makes one vulnerable. When too closed it will be disconnected.
Influetial field of the MaalstroomThe infleuntial field in biodynamic woodwork is related to the reach of it’s infleunce. The infleuntial field has a lot to do with one-ness and becoming one. The sphere or ball is the optimum shape for extending the influential field.
The influence on the human system
The human system reacts to this field in with te balancing of the field or aura. Some people tend to feel an increase of inner space. Others experience the rest and safety when their flied closes in and protects them from too many influences. The influencial field of the Maalstroom will inspire the human system to be part of collective field of human strength. This a pure and natural field and when we are part of it, we feel connected to the people surrounding us.
The field of collective fear has a strong influence on us well. And for some people more than for others it’s difficult to pull ourselves free of it or see trough it. The Maalstroom is helps to clarify emotions and convictions that keep us out of the collective field of collective human strength.
Functie in de mens
Ons middelste midden bevindt zich onder het hart. Het heeft een energie van het hart, maar ook wel degelijk van de zonnevlecht. Het middelste midden is waar het goddelijke licht, het aardelicht, het onnoembare iig, zich opent in de materie. Het is de meest directe verbinding met de bron in ons. Middelste midden in hout
Het middelste midden is letterlijk waar de ziel naar buiten komt. Iedereen die weet waar die naar moet vragen, kan het middelste midden feilloos vinden in hout. Het middelste midden is de thuisplaats van de intelligentie van de ziel die in het hout komt. Met luisterend bouwen is dit de voornamelijkste biodynamiek waar we naar luisteren. Het is ahw waar de leiding vandaan komt. Het middelste midden weet ons te vertellen hoe het hout gevormd moet worden, om voor de ziel er optimaal in te kunnen zijn. Hier onder een video over hoe het middelste midden werkt in biodynamische houtbewerking.
In de onderstaan de video leg ik uit hoe we werken met de belangrijkste biodynamiek tijdens luisterend bouwen: het middelste midden.
In 2006 maakte ik een reis naar de Maalstroom in Noorwegen, Bodo. De onderstaande video maakte ik naar aanleiding daarvan.
