Biodynamic Touch
2nd segment - SENSATION & PERCEPTION
The practice of Biodynamic Touch is an evolving practice within the field of healing. The roots of this practice are connected to a very old tree composed of many expressions of hands-on healing. The methodology applied stems primarily from in-depth study of Biodynamic Craniosacral combined with years of investigation into the varied pathways of personal healing, self growth and supportive application of therapeutic touch for the health and well-being of others.
This workshop is for those who have previously attended the Foundations course.
Sensation and Perception : Enlivening the Realms of Biodynamic Touch
In this course we will revisit the groundwork laid in the previous course and build upon the foundation created. Refinement of ones ability to tend to the interface within oneself and in relationship with another is continued. New considerations will highlight how ones perception of sensations are influenced by the relational landscape. Opportunity will be provided to investigate and strengthens ones ability to sense and perceive what is presenting during the therapeutic process.
The tending of the neutral witness acts as the active resource that aides the transformation and transfiguration that transpires during the healing process.
This course is intended to support the strengthening of the neutral observer who’s role is to witness what is presented moment to moment and in so doing provide opportunity for life affirming change.
The Foundations course provided the groundwork for the cultivation of internal awareness, our interoceptive abilities, and strengthened the ability to tend to our inner landscape while in relational connectivity. In this course we begin to straddle our attentive awareness between self and other a bit more to receive more information with our sense-ability during the treatment process.
Biodynamic Touch is beneficial for healthcare practitioners such as craniosacral practitioners, massage therapists, Reiki practitioners, nurses, ND's, MD's, physical therapists, yoga teachers, acupuncturists, psychologists, chiropractors, social workers, psilocybin facilitators etc. to apply in their area of expertise.
The content of this course is influenced by the foundational principles that are at the core of osteopathic medicine and Biodynamic & Visionary Craniosacral Therapy and includes experiential tools shared by various teachers that have influenced the study of Self and Energy Awareness.
