CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY EDUCATIONAL TRUST

* FEBRUARY 28th - March 3rd 2013 *

WITH DR MICHAEL SHEA B.A., M.A., Ph.D, B.C.S.T.

The metabolic fields are specific structuring fields for the human embryo. These include contusion/compression, distusion/swelling, retension/stillness and detraction /sheering fields, which form the musculoskeletal system and important parts of the heart. During this seminar palpation skills will focus on merging the early and late metabolic fields into a single fluid continuum via the cardiovascular system. Attention to the cardiovascular system has been demonstrated to change brain function and the way emotions are processed. The muscles, bones and fascia will also be palpated as different gradients of fluid activity. These skills are vital in rehabilitating the central, autonomic and cardiovascular systems.

Areas explored will include:

• Learning the metabolic fields.
• Palpating different layers of metabolic fields that form the cardiovascular system and sensing the developmental movements of the heart.
• Specific palpation skills to sense the major arteries and veins of the body in relationship to their adjacent musculoskeletal structures.
• Palpating the spiraling movement of blood flowing through the cranium, neck, trunk and spine.
• Palpating the musculoskeletal system biodynamically.
• Exploring contact with the cranium and spine via the vascular system.
