Harmonics of the Spine / class content

The Harmonics of the spine

This is an experiential class specifically designed to deepen one's practice through the study of the anatomical nature of the spine as well as the subtle harmonics of the spine.  

The class will include an in depth study of spinal mechanics and anatomy of the autonomic nervous system in combination with the vibrational healing arts. The class is designed to help each participant understand the body as one integral and dynamic unit of function.

 In this class we will develop an understanding of the spine from a bio mechanical and biodynamic perspective. We will work with AT Stills principle that structure and function are interrelated. 

(Structure is the physical matter we are made up of our bones, ligaments, muscles, nerves, arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels and organ system.) These structures are all harmonically interrelated and functionally interdependent on one another. In this class we will deepen our understanding of this underlying principle, and develop skills on how to adjust the structure to correct functional challenges. We will practice this both hands on and working with sound/vibration instruments such as tuning forks, singing bowls,voice, wind,metal and other precisely tuned instruments.

Objectives

  • Develop skills working with the principles of sound as a fulcrum to interface with and relate to the human bio field. This is a fundamental skill used to accurately assess and treat the body mind.

  • Understanding of the biomechanics of the spine how the spine was created by morphogenic fields in gestation and learn how to accurately assess the spine and body systems.

  • Understanding physiologic movements of the spine in their possible planes of 

    movement and how to integrate and correct dysfunction.

  • Understand the application of tuning forks and other sound instruments in the bio field and on the body.

  • Understanding assessment and the pacing of a treatment.

 -  Learn how to adjust the body mind as a whole and dynamic unit of function.

Global Heart of Sri Lanka - Nov 11-24 2018

Sri Lanka touched our hearts both deeply and gently that we were both so inspired to return with a small and unique group of conscious, fun, adventurous new and old friends who appreciate the gems of the planet, committed to leaving a light footprint, while deeply connecting with nature and the beauty of the world and are life long learners.

The Art and Science of Sound Healing

IMG_0280.jpg

This is an invitation to join us this October 20-21 for a class on the Art and Science of Sound and Vibrational Healing. 
It is becoming apparent that sound/vibration is the medicine of the future although these practices are quite ancient as documented by the yogis and passed on through all the indigenous cultures. They have used and still use sound to heal and create wholeness and wellness.

Sound and vibration are seamlessly integrated into any current healing or yoga practice.
This is an appropriate class even if you’re just starting out.

We will meet for a half day Saturday October 20 from 4 to 8 followed by a break and then a sound bath starting at 8:30PM(free for workshop participants)

Sound Healing Training at the Center for the Advancement of Therapeutic Arts

The Sound Therapy Training at CATA will give students the ability to explore clinical work utilizing basic principles of sound and music with specific attention to how vibration affects the body-mind system, and how our tissue-body attunes to sonic vibration. We will also learn and explore the psycho-dynamic principles of sound and music in different therapeutic modalities.

Biodynamics in Osteopathy

In this class we will continue to explore the parallels between osteopathy and indigenous body work. Participants will learn to work with the biodynamic model within osteopathy. This is especially useful in cranial osteopathy, which we will explore at some length, as well guiding treatment toward integration of the whole body as a dynamic unit of function.

Note: This is Weekend 11 of the North American Healing Arts (NAHA) 2016-17 curriculum.

Location: Center for the Advancement of Therapeutic Arts (CATA) in NYC. (www.cata.com) 212.225.1529.

Working with Levers and Fulcrums

This class provides the osteopathic parallels to Indigenous North American body work approaches. Participants will learn how to apply and use levers and fulcrums to balance the body's tissue and the body's systems in specific and effective ways. The class will further explore how to use these techniques to affect the nervous system and physiology. Levers and fulcrums are a core fundamental osteopathic principal used to treat the body.

Nada Yoga Teacher Training

Where you'll find Joseph in 2017: after Auroville, at the 200-hr Nada Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India. You can read about it at http://www.nadyoga.org/nada-yoga-teacher-training-in-india/

Here's part of the course description ...

What is Nada Yoga?

Nada Yoga is “union through sound”. The union of body, mind and spirit.

Nada Yoga is a branch of Yoga in which transformation is brought through the Shabd or Nada. The nearest translation of Shabd and Nada is sound or vibration. But Shabd or Nada are not the same as sound because they can be produced either by striking two objects known as Ahata sound or without striking two objects which is called Anahata sound. Anahata sound can be heard at the Anahata or heart chakra. Nada has the same place in yoga as energy has in science.

We can’t see energy, but we can feel it as vibrations. All energy, all vibrations generate sound. Sound is one way for us to experience this energy.

What does the course cover?

The course covers not only nada yoga but also all the practices of a 200-hr yoga course. But what are they? Read below!

In this class, participants will gain knowledge and skill in learning how to assess the body through its biomechanics and neuro-endocrine systems. The focus is on learning how to both identify and treat primary and secondary lesions, to help the body to move into a greater state of equilibrium and homeostasis. We will explore the osteopathic parallels to the traditional body work.

Sound Healing with Tuning Forks

Sound healing utilizes the art and science of the sonic ratios present in nature and the human body. Tuning forks offer a non-invasive method of healing and consciousness development. Tangible benefits include improved circulation and breathing, as well as reduced neuromuscular tension, joint pain & swelling and. Perhaps the most ancient healing modality in human evolution, sound vibration when properly applied stimulates the body's self-healing capacity, distributing essential neuro-chemicals and resetting the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. On an energetic level, specific sound frequencies have the effect of cleansing, clearing and balancing the body's auric field. Clients often report an immediate brightening of mood and a lasting sense of heightened well-being. 

This full-day training covers the principles of sound healing in an interactive lecture/discussion/demonstration format. Through extensive hands-on instruction (with table work), you will learn how to work with tuning forks in a therapeutic way for yourself and your clients, to promote physical health, vitality and creativity. This training is designed with bodyworkers in mind, but other interested persons will find it fascinating and are welcome to register based on space availability.

Beyond OM: The Role of Sound in Yoga and Movement

Full-day training with Joseph Schmidlin, DO, and Priscilla Auchincloss, Ph.D., RYT & Authorized Continuum Movement Teacher 

Drawing from some of the earliest known practices, this workshop uses the medium of sound to connect primordial (unformed) consciousness to thought and language. Both ancient and modern modalities contribute to restoring and rebuilding, step-by-step, the human capacity of listening. You will gain direct experience in the sensory effects of vocalization and of specific instruments (such as drum, wooden flute, singing bowls, gong, and tuning forks) in the body-mind, and you will discover how to integrate the crucial role of sound to deepen practice in yoga, movement and life. Designed for yoga practitioners, this workshop training is also ideal for persons interested in meditation and other movement modalities.
