Biodynamics IV - Birth and Death This class explores the "bookends" of life, birth and death. Birth is a powerful and unique experience for each individual, setting into motion patterns and preferences that the body and psyche may pivot around for one's entire life. Drawing on pre- and perinatal studies, we learn to better understand how Health organizes birth patterning and how craniosacral therapy helps to reorder early affects. Death is a mysterious gateway through which we all eventually pass. Biodynamic craniosacral therapy provides a helpful perspective and set of skills that enable the practitioner to relate to the process of dying in a resourced manner. Some topics considered: Pre-natal experience and the psyche Whole body birth shapes and posture Ignition processes Attachment and bonding affects How to be with the dying in a helpful manner Understanding death of the body from an eastern energetic perspective Prerequisites: BD III class with CRC CST I , CST II BD I , BD II , BD III , BD IV , BD V , BD VI
