Our organs are vital and alive. They provide us with our sense of self, full-bodiedness, and organic authenticity.Organs are the primary habitats or natural environments of our emotions, aspirations, and the memories of our inner reactions to our personal histories. They support our tone and our feelings, and give volume to our movement.This course presents key Body-Mind Centering® principles that bring ease, flexibility, and strength by embodying the organ system through movement and consciousness. These principles can be applied to yoga, dance, bodywork, somatic psychology, and other somatic movement practices.Embodying the organ system with sections on: explorations of the organs; releasing adhesions between organs; initiating breath, voice, movement and touch from the organs; analyzing imbalances in individual organs; techniques to balance the organs; and the embryological development of the organs.DVD Set • Five discs; 7 hours 50 minutesOn-Demand • 7 hours 50 minutes; English subtitlesThis course contains the following chapters (click here for a printable list):Disc 1: Embryology of the Organ SystemFront Body and Back BodyHeartGut Tube (Digestive Tract)StomachLiver, Gallbladder, Spleen and PancreasUrogenital OrgansConnecting StalkGiving Thanks to Our TeachersDisc 2: Organ System Part 1Introduction to Embodying the OrgansHyoid BoneLungsHeartDigestive OrgansReleasing Adhesions between the Organs through AwarenessDisc 3: Organ System Part 2Initiating Movement from the Heart, Lungs and IntestinesCountering the Heart and Lungs with the IntestinesPectinate Line and Its Relationship to the PalateSounding into the Palate and Pectinate LineLiver and GallbladderPancreasFinding the Liver, Gallbladder and Pancreas in MovementFinding the Diagonals of the Pancreas/Spleen and Stomach/DuodenumFinding the Liver and Gallbladder to Support the Diagonals of the Spleen/Pancreas and Stomach/DuodenumUrogenital SystemMoving From the Urogenital SystemFinding the embryological Kidneys t
