Book Series & Courses
At the heart of this methodology lies the Biodynamics of Osteopathy book series authored by Dr. Jealous. Comprising twelve volumes: Phases 1 through 9, along with Pediatrics 1 through 3, these books are available for purchase globally on Amazon. They are offered as 11" x 8 1/2" paperback books in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Russian; English language e-books are also available.
The books are offered for purchase by anyone interested, but each book is also paired with a continuing education course of the same name, also created and designed by Dr. Jealous. The courses are accessible to osteopaths, medical doctors, dentists, and others at the discretion of the teachers, all of whom have received specialized training in Biodynamics of Osteopathy directly from Dr. Jealous.
Since these books are Dr. Jealous’ own words, they form an integral and necessary part of the training during the courses, and need to be read by students undertaking them. The training facilitates deeper understanding of the information in Dr. Jealous' books and offers hands-on experience with regard to the practical sessions that are described therein.
The continuing education courses are typically delivered in-person over a four-day period and are conducted in many parts of the world. They are advertised and booked on various websites globally, which have been authorized to do so. These websites can be easily found through online searches for the courses, but please reach out to us via the email contact address below if you have any difficulties.

The following descriptions of the books and the accompanying courses of the same name are presented in Dr. Jealous' own words. Though these descriptions do not comprise the full details of Dr. Jealous’ methodologies, they serve to convey the inspirational essence of each book and its accompanying course:
Phase One is about involuntary motion, which is motion present in the whole and in the lesion. We learn to synchronize with the breathing of Primary Respiration before we approach any treatment. This synchronization is the key to working with stable rates and not irritating the system. The principle of synchronizing with a healthy aspect of the patient suffuses the whole teaching program. This synchronization shifts our awareness to a different level of receptivity, which allows us to see Primary Respiration rather than the lesion field, and this eventually leads us to an understanding of the intention of Primary Respiration.
Phase Two is about communication with the natural laws of healing that surround activity at 2 to 3 cycles per minute. We synchronize with the breathing of Primary Respiration and also add the skill of sensing the fulcrum, the Stillness through which the breathing creates form and function. It is a different kind of synchronization from that in Phase One, shifting our awareness more deeply. As this occurs, the treatment automatically expresses itself. The end point of treatment, when compared with Phase One, reveals several differences. We find this kind of synchronization works exclusively with the fluid body and the outcome of treatment is more complete than when working with tissue alone.
Phase Three is centered around the activities of the Long Tide (100 second cycle). We explore an indwelling therapeutic force already present in the lesion field. We learn that the dural system is not made-up of three sickles but rather a series of folds in a sac, arising during growth and development. We see the relationship between the upper and lower dural sacs, awakening us to the independence of two separate tentorium cerebelli. We discover that zone D, the horizon, and the Wire (along which the Long Tide moves during its intended therapeutic course) are all linked as natural laws pertaining to this level of Primary Respiration.
Phase Four focuses on the Midline, a place where the spatial relationships are expressed as a whole. It synchronizes and centers us in such a way that we become aware of Zone D and the Dynamic Stillness. The Third Level Stillness in Phase Four is different from the Stillness in the other Phases – we are centered by the Stillness at the center of creation. Our intention is replaced by the intention of the Tide which can facilitate our spiritual path.
In Phase 5 we come to the face. As we approach the face, we use all of the principles that we have learned in Phase One, Two, Three, and Four. We work with automatic shifting and notice differences from how the face is viewed by older models within Osteopathy in the Cranial Field. As we synchronize with the therapeutic presence of the Long Tide we see what we can learn about the face from that landscape. We also work with Seams, Dynamic Stillness, and Ignition
Phase Six is a continuation of our journey into the Wholeness that generates life and delivers therapeutic forces that transmutate lesions once Neutral is expressed. It is a mixture of activities centered around the outside presence of Primary Respiration as something that is a non-biological force and that has a persona. We will also continue to explore seams and then move on to the extremities, first in the embryological terms and then as Sutherland taught them in his work called PowerPoints. Phase 6 is a time to build your understanding of the Tide and refine your skills.
Phase Seven highlights the Health. Dr. Still’s famous comment “Find the Health; anyone can find disease,” has plagued many minds over the last century.
We come to the clear vision of several indwelling aspects of the Health: Love … liquid light … and a diamond matrix. A approach to the terminally ill and dying patient is addressed. In the somatic sensation of the Tide passing through the House Under the Sea, our awareness is transmutated by the Health. The lesion is seen as a precognitive act of the Health. Thoracic Respiration, Primary Respiration, and Ignition are as One. The landscape is vast … and the principles of healing are even more substantial than we have previously experienced.
Phase Eight is a deeper exploration of seams, balanced rhythmic interchange, and the Flame of Intention as a therapeutic modality. Phase Eight is the culmination of our awareness of Wholeness, and ultimately brings us to the Divine Presence, Unconditional Love and Oneness. The living Tide dominates the awareness while forms move to the background. One feels the Breath of Creation in oneself as the Center of Wholeness. One feels the Unfoldment of oneself as one is Created. Our consciousness is a gift, we do not own it and if we try to control it we lose Wholeness.
Phase Nine is when we are able to fully evaluate and treat the Central Nervous System and the Eye. We also address Fire and the therapeutic modality of the Shakedown. True action is moved from Love and makes our perception exist. This Love is self-emptying and by its nature allows us to Serve as part of the Perfect. Perception can be used to Serve something other than ourselves. We have attempted to enter this balance point between the Perfect and the Disease … it is a point where the whole of everything is suspended by Love as it works to incarnate the Complete. In the balance point of everything is The Intention of the Tide following the movement of the distortion back to a True relationship with the Blueprint of Life.
Pediatrics One explores how children grow as a whole, not in parts as we sometimes believe. Children live in the Direction of Ease of motion present in their fluid metabolic fields, otherwise they get uncomfortable and require assistance. Does your treatment directly support the whole, or does it assume to support the whole? We realize children are not adults and cannot be treated as adults are. We approach the therapeutic modality of the “Meeting Place”, prenatal and postnatal periods, the treatment of the pelvis during pregnancy, fetal malposition and labor.
In Pediatrics Two we deepen in the perceptive awareness necessary to approach the treatment of children. We deepen in our appreciation of Wholeness, the three levels of Stillness and the “Meeting Place”. We approach “Desert Neutral”, where therapeutics pass into the neutral substance, and a mystery unfolds as the breath of Divine love cascades as a therapeutic force across a night desert landscape, filling and leaving behind no visible effects. We further address treatment of the pelvis and the uterus during pregnancy. We explore thoracic and Primary Respiration in children, and the Family Circle.
In Pediatrics Three we continue to study the therapeutic Flow of Attention. We deepen in Third Level Stillness and the Meeting Place. The Meeting Place is easily misinterpreted … our observer must be so still and neutral that the process can be seen as it happens. The central nervous system in the child can be finally approached for evaluation and treatment. We explore teething and also the “locked up head”. We use the therapeutic modality of the Flame of Intention, and its connection to the Breath of Life. Everything is transparent to the Breath of Life. There is a wind passing through … it is the motion of creation, the eternal motion of Divine love.
