Classes

This online class addresses the structure of the body more wholistically to recognize and assess ways of addressing the common or unique patterns that our clients present. Assessment, observation and information exchange happen at many levels simultaneously because we are sensing organisms. How can we train ourselves to become aware of what we are sensing, and begin to discipline our focus so as to see more clearly the physical, emotional, and energetic patterns that our clients present. This class offers a model for structuring our perceptions for coherent assessment and treatment. This approach encourages the practitioner to develop the questioning mind and hands that allow adaptation of the phases and the techniques to the client's needs. By recognizing the relationship between structure and function, we can more readily understand where we need to work and how to blend the phases with the techniques to address the client's pattern more effectively. This class will clarify the process of structuring a session.

This class is one of the most foundational classes that allows the student to listen and connect to anywhere in the body. It will bring a softened but clear line of listening to fascia, organs, and structure and strengthen the reflexive understanding of the body’s ability to respond to us.

As Arthur Lincoln Pauls was developing Ortho-Bionomy he was keenly aware that he was not inventing a new technique to use with the body, rather he was endeavouring to utilise and systematise naturally occurring self-corrective and self organising principles. With Phase Seven Arthur identified a model of interaction with universal patterns which ultimately affected the physical and energetic patterns of his clients. In this course we will learn about the characteristics of these universal patterns and will explore Arthur’s system for assessment and balancing of the whole person or situation using the Phase Seven symbol, tracking mood and stepping into ‘right timing’.
