Introduction to the Central Nervous System

and Birthing Impacts further Explored

The nature of “automatic shifting potency” within the fluids is directly explored. The dynamics of potency (life force) as an organizing and healing principle within the fluids is highlighted. The concept of birth forces as traumatic impacts that lodge within bony tissues is introduced, and the intraosseous dynamics of the occiput, temporal bone and sphenoid bone are explored.

The main emphasis of the seminar focuses on the dynamics of the central nervous system. CNS motility is explored from an embryological viewpoint and the palpation of its motility is emphasised. Issues of CNS facilitation and hypersensitivity are explored clinically. Students learn to orient to CNS shock affect and shock discharge within healing processes.

The role of Nociception and nerve facilitation is discussed and student's learn clinical approaches to various levels of facilitation in the nervous system (local nerve loops, spinal cord facilitation, brain stem facilitation and mid-brain/limbic facilitation)

Clinical trauma skills in relationship to hypo-arousal states are introduced. Birth related issues are also further explored. Skills relating to dissociation and dissociative states are introduced.
