ORGAN DYNAMICS - THE THORACIC, ABDOMINAL AND PELVIC CAVITIES

WITH MICHAEL KERN D.O., R.C.S.T., B.C.S.T., M.I.Cr.A., N.D.
* JANUARY 28TH - FEBRUARY 1ST 2009 *

This five-day course will fill in many gaps from foundation trainings by familiarising the practitioner with the motility and mobility of the body viscera. Work is geared to re-establish the original intention of cells and tissues via an appreciation of the Breath of Life, its midline dynamics and embryological organising forces. All practical approaches are derived from a craniosacral biodynamic approach to work in the field.

Areas explored will include:

  • the embryological development, motility and mobility of each organ
  • the role of stillness and states of balance in re-establishing the original intention of health; our embryological blueprint
  • the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, small intestine, large intestine, ovaries, prostate, uterus and bladder
  • the motility of the organs and their related connective tissues
  • endodermal derivatives and the formation of the gut tube
  • heart ignition and the heart as a natural fulcrum
  • transitional physiology between umbilical breathing and lung breathing at birth - the significance of the first breath
  • the relational/horizontal midline at the umbilicus
  • the motility of the organs, potency and fluid dynamics
  • facilitated segments and organ dynamics; somatovisceral/viscerosomatic reflexes
  • the psycho-emotional relationships of the organs.
