Instructor: Holly Pinto, BS, LMT, RCST

The focus of this course is to learn to distinguish the importance of Primary Respiration and its movement in the fluid body. The fluid body is the sum of all the different types of fluids in the body and is over 90% of the human body. The student continues to learn to sense Primary Respiration in his or her own body first and then the client. Primary Respiration is a foundation of health and compassion in the human body.

Understanding and perceiving the five layers of the biodynamic process will be the clinical focus. Orienting, Synchronizing, Attuning, Disengaging, and Igniting represent the states of perception associated with both the stillness of the midline and Primary Respiration in the whole. An introduction to the dynamic morphology of the human embryo will be explored theoretically and with table work.

Students will learn to move their attention through four zones of perception. This starts with the practitioner's body, the space immediately around their body, the office space and the natural world outside the office. This practice establishes a three-dimensional wholeness for both the practitioner and the client with and without contact with the hand. It is called a "cycle of attunement" and is crucial to the healing process.
