Sutherland’s Cosmology: The Breath of Life and the Metabolic Client.

October 24-27, 2024

Michael J. Shea PhD

This advanced biodynamic course will deepen your clinical practice using principles of cosmology and embryology. The contemporary client is metabolically unhealthy and a shift in focus to include cosmology is necessary. Cosmology is linked to metabolism, the inner subtle body in Eastern medical systems. Primary Respiration and dynamic stillness have three levels of perception including colors. Dr. Sutherland mentioned the Breath of Life seventeen times in his writing. His deep perceptual experience was that it is a bright light. Perceptual skills of different colored lights in the fluid body and vascular system are taught based on Sutherland’s perception of the Breath of Life.

This understanding of biodynamic originality is linked to the body‘s metabolism through the lens of Judeo-Christian cosmology including the Tree of Life as the vascular tree. Additional insight for clinical practice will be explored from Tibetan Medicine and Classical Chinese Medicine. Two protocols will be taught to affect the metabolism of the client’s body through the fluid body and vascular tree. These protocols are easily integrated into one’s biodynamic practice.

The emerging neuroscience on the instinctual organization of the body‘s metabolism is presented. This specifically relates to interoceptive awareness and the conscious acquisition of safety and empathy for self and other.
