The Conscious Body                                     A Holistic Approach to Anatomy and Physiology

Online course

This fascinating 6-week course will connect you to the innate wisdom held within the structures and functions of your body.

You will discover inner resources to draw from. For example how to:

• access inner strength and support from your skeleton
• restore calmness by understanding the mechanics of anxiety
• connect the experience of the ‘felt’ senses with the science

We begin this holistic approach by learning how the physical body innately knows how to find balance. By expanding on this knowledge and applying it to the emotional, mental and energetic aspects of our self we will be able to integrate these ‘parts’ into a sense of wholeness. This can facilitate moments of clarity and insights to inspire positive and supportive changes to our lives to restore balance and well-being.

You will be shown how to embody anatomical theory as we weave these concepts together with experiential exercises, mindfulness, gentle movement and self-reflection.

Course topics include:

• Cell as microcosm, earth as macrocosm
• Physiology of the felt sense of touch, muscle memory and gut instinct
• Bones as a resource for inner support
• Physiology of stress and ease
• Nature-nurture and epigenetics
• Mirror neurons and empathy

To place these topics in context, we will look at the nervous, muscular, skeletal and digestive systems. You will be shown how to embody anatomical theory as we weave these concepts together with experiential exercises, mindfulness, gentle movement and self-reflection. We will also consider the similarities and connections between body and earth e.g. bones of the body and stones of the earth. This will deepen and enliven your relationship to self, others and nature.

If you wish to invest in your self-care or are interested in developing your practice as a healer or body worker, then this course is for you. A certificate of attendance will be given to those who attend all sessions of the course.
