Various methods of CRI palpation
of body parts, their diagnostic values
and interpretation of the findings
Krishnahari S. Pribadi
“Successful palpation of this cranial rhythmic impulse requires a tactile sense trained and developed beyond the usual requirements.
Its diagnostic possibilities have never been fully explored, although an electronic device is being developed to do
such recording. It is known that the rate is accelerated in fevers and decelerated in psychiatric conditions somewhat in proportion
to their severity, varying as the clinical picture varies. In this respect, the cranial rhythmic impulse foretells psychic
changes rather accurately and so may well be of considerable prognostic and diagnostic value.” –

“We will eventually be able to identify specific cybernetic-holographic engrams responsible for specific physiological
functions and specific diseases. This will allow our therapeutic interventions to be more specific, precise and effective.
We should eventually be able to identify specific entry points within the body as part of specific cybernetic-holographic
engrams which can give us direct access to the CSS.” – Pribadi.2
Summary
The Cranial Rhythm Impulse (CRI) reflects the homeostatic status of a person. Abnormal CRI usually indicates there
are problems within the homeostatic mechanisms of a person. There are agents and forces that can influence the CRI
characteristics. The use of palpation, with “feeling, thinking, seeing and knowing fingers” is the cornerstone of the cranial
diagnostic method as developed by Sutherland. Monitoring the CRI while applying the cranial manipulative procedures is
an important aspect of the palpation of the CRI. This article discusses many other methods of palpation of the CRI developed
by various practitioners of Cranial Osteopathy. Segmental Restriction Localization Palpatory Method can locate a
restriction area that inhibits the course of CRI natural flow caudally. Arcing Palpatory Method developed by Upledger is
used to locate restriction lesions and “energy cysts” in the body. Bio-energy Palpatory Method introduced by Becker is
a palpation method to sense the bioenergy fields within body areas being diagnosed and treated. Craniosacral Acupuncture
Palpatory Method© introduced by the author is used to locate abnormal acupuncture points. Craniosacral Diagnostic
Digital Method© developed by the author is designed to determine the meridian profile, thereby assisting medical diagnosis.
Craniosacral Nutritional Assessment Method© is a method to determine nutritional requirements by palpating the
nutritional points for CRI. Craniosacral Allergy Screening Test© developed by the author can screen foods, substances,
drugs for allergy or intolerance. Craniosacral Therapeutic Sensitivity and Dose Determination© is a method to determine
individual therapeutic sensitivity to therapeutic agents and their doses. Lastly, Craniosacral Tele-Diagnostic Method©
suggested by the author can be used to diagnose as well as treat patients from great distances.

Craniosacral Tele-Diagnostic Method©
This is a controversial and revolutionary application of
the cranial concept. Let’s examine the following statement
by Sutherland:
“Do you know anything about sheet lightning? You
see its manifestation all through the cloud, but it does
not touch the cloud. I want you to see the invisible “liquid
light,” or the Breath of Life as sheer lightning and a
transmutation, the sheet lightning all through the nerves,
not touching the “copper tube.” The transmutation is what
Dr. Still pointed to in the early days as “nerve force.”
He was trying to put across this understanding using the
example of the electrical force, or the electrical “juice,”
that runs along the wire. That signal that runs along has
to have a tract to run on. It is a push-button mechanism,
an attunement within the human body. Tuned to what? To
that highest known element, “the Breath of Life”, not the
breath of air. Quoting another text: “in the creation of man,
the Breath of Life was breathed into the nasals of a form of
clay, and man became a living soul.”13
It does suggest that the cranial rhythmic force is divine
in nature and is capable of penetrating solid substances and
traveling at a great distance just like light waves.
Now, if a doctor tunes himself as a receiver into the
cranial mechanism and all the cranial rhythmic waves
emanating from the body, organs and acupuncture points
(or craniodermal points) of a person/ his patient known
already to him personally or his representations (such as
his picture, voice, signature or even his name), this intelligent
“liquid light” of that person traveling at a great
distance can enter the doctor’s body and change temporarily
his craniosacral mechanism, meridian profile, specific
acupuncture pulsations, his nutritional points, etc. Then, by
simply applying all the various methods of cranial palpation
as described above on the doctor’s body himself, then
the doctor can diagnose the cranial lesions, meridian profile,
nutritional profile, pathological profile, allergy profile
and even determine the medical diagnoses of that particular
patient and his medical and therapeutic needs at a great
distance! The author has applied this method to many
patients and his medical and therapeutic needs at a great
distance! The author has applied this method to many of
Page 20 The AAO Journal Volume 20, Issue 3, September 2010
his patients to diagnose and monitor their medical conditions
from a great distance with the accuracy near 100%.
Further research in this field is required to substantiate and
prove the validity of this method. If this method is proven
to be scientifically valid, then it may become another
diagnostic armament of Tele-Medicine and be practiced by
doctors who use the cranial concept in their practices. This
method can also be used to treat patients at great distances.
The doctor can prescribe pharmaceutical drugs (based on
physical complaints, medical history, physical medical diagnoses
supported by this diagnostic method), herbal remedies,
homeopathic remedies and all treatment methods and
agents that can influence the cranio-sacral system. As the
“Breath of Life” of a patient can influence the doctor during
the tele-diagnostic process, so also the “Breath of Life” of
the doctor can potentially influence his patient at a great
distance to correct cranial lesions, perform cranial manipulation
and even apply bioenergy treatment and modify the
meridian profile and correct abnormal acupuncture points.
It sounds magical. But lets contemplate on this following
statement by Sutherland:
