Hi MaryAnn,
EV4 is short for “expansion of ventricle four.” It can be seen as the opposite principle of the CV4. Dr. Jealous introduced this term to describe a resuscitative technique that can be applied to the tissue/fluid body. Whereas the CV4 is a directive technique that focuses fluid and potency resources into the midline in the extension phase, the EV4 holds the body in inhalation and brings about a distribution to the periphery by synchronizing with inhalation through several cycles.
The EV4 is often used to normalize fluid body lesions, augment fluid drive, bring about a sense of cohesiveness and wholeness, or to simply clear noise out of the tissue and fluid fields. It is traditionally applied through a contact with the cranium.
We go over application of this principle in Level 4.
I hope that helps!
