Adjustments to the sphenoid bone are made from the outside of the skull as well as from the roof of the mouth. The skull's centrally located sphenoid bone can be accessed either from the side of the head just in front of the top of the ear lobe, and through the roof of the mouth. The sphenoid is protected within the mouth by muscle, another layer of bone and tissue. When the practitioner redirects the sphenoid the patient is instructed to breath in and out during the safe, specific, and desired correction. This correction ultimately frees the "blocked circuits" allowing the hemispheres of the brain to function equally.
The other primary skull bones that are influenced by the sphenoid bones are as follows:
| • Parietal bones - they make up the very top and upper sides of the skull |
| • Temporal bones - they make up the lower sides of the skull |
| • Frontal bones- they make up the both sides of your forehead |
| • Occipital bone - it makes up the back and underside of the skull |
| • Maxilla - they make up what is called your "cheek bones" |
It is found that the frontal bones will descend along with the sphenoid; the parietal bones will also descend, but not always. The temporal bones will usually rotate in opposite directions to each other. The occipital bone will become stuck in a flexed position, and the maxilla will be restricted in its normal motion. All this adds up to an individual's inability to process incoming information - all at varying degrees.
It is apparent by all research, literature, and the Internet information at hand that conditions such as autism, etc. are a growing concern of many families around the world. It is my suggestion that we continue to explore the new and alternative techniques that are being developed every day. NOT is one such technique. Therein may lay the answer.
