Cranial Osteopathy Poem by NAO Student

Here is a poem written by National Academy of Osteopathy student, Dr Chris Vincent. “Prof Pam” mentioned in this poem is Professor Pamela Crosson – Fournier, one of the three professors who teach cranial osteopathy at NAO.

CranioSacral Therapy

A Poem

Small sparks create

thick clouds of smoke.

Tiny stone: big ripples.

Soft gentle touch

raising tsunami waves

of  epic emotions.

A single step off the cliff

and a deep fall downwards.

Ants balancing big loads

on their little backs.

Old damaged photographs

evoking complicated knots

of interwoven memories.

Invisible electric current

giving quick birth

to blinding bright light.

Slight smiles and big joy.

Sound of jingles leading

to waves of nostalgia.

A drop of perfume

taking over the atmosphere

rolling and colliding

with air molecules.

Big oak trees created

out of the potential stored

at the heart of little seeds.

Minute movements

leading to massive reactions.

Like few words put together,

that have the power

to build and also destroy

in a heartbeat.

Manual osteopath Prof. Pam

placed her able hands

on my parietal bones.

I closed my eyes

and soared into a dimension

where emotion and reason

became a single entity,

propelled by the coiling

turbo engines of Science.

Brian Tracy Writes to NAO Students

Brian Tracy Writes to my Students

I wish to thank my mentor, Brian Tracy for writing a letter to my students at National Academy of Osteopathy. I know how busy he is and for him to take the time to advice NAO students is highly valuable to me. I am most grateful.

Brian is one of my heroes, from a humble beginning (he was homeless at one time, worked in a farm, and did many labor jobs) he made himself one of the highest paid professionals in the field of self development.

His company generated over half a billion dollars so far!

Dr Shahin Pourgol

NAO President

PS. Brian is the person who brought Hyundai car dealerships to Canada.
