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.

Joseph Schmidlin has over 25 years of training, teaching & practice in the fields of energy medicine including Classical Osteopathy, TCM, Ayurveda, Zero Balancing,, Cranial Sacral, and Vibrational Therapies. He integrates these diverse healing modalities into his therapeutic sound work. Known for his “healing touch”, his practice & teaching are grounded in the principle that each person, like the natural world, is a whole, self-correcting being with each part affecting every other as well as contributing to the integrity of the whole.  for more details go to  www.jschmidlin.com

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)

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.

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.

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!

1. What nada yoga is, and its types
2. How to integrate the practice of yoga with nada yoga
3. Theory of Sound
4. Music therapy
5. Proper Sanskrit mantra chanting
6. Learn to sing spiritual kirtans and bhajans, perfectly
7. Lessons of Indian classical music – sitar, tabla, harmonium, vocal, etc
8. How to match your body’s frequency to instruments sound
9. Effect of sound or nada in your daily life
10. Introduction to Yoga and its paths
11. Yoga Philosophy
12. Yoga Anatomy and Physiology
13. Meditation
14. Shatkarma – body purification
15. Pranayama techniques (purification through breath)
16. Yoga postures (asanas), their benefits, potential risks and proper alignments
17. The art of sequencing the yoga class in one flow with full confidence
18. Sanskrit names of the postures
19. Introduction to Ayurveda – Kapha, Vata, Pitta, etc.

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.
