第四階段-活力與健康~~移動是醫藥

IV、Vitality and health  --- Move is Medicine

快樂的細胞

　　這單元將著重於建立安全感、去感覺什麼是舒適的和連結你內在的資源。

我們所探討的是怎麼樣能讓自己更有覺知的，更『臨在』於自己的內在(透過移動、感知、接受和發展手碰觸的技巧)。以這種建立在安全感與回家的感覺為導向的方式來發展我們的覺知力，可讓我們對自己天生的表達力和對『今天的這個我』有更大的感知。如此，我們就可以開始去看到以往那些無意識的部份。

　　任何我們沒有覺知到的，會直接會影響到我們的行為、學習和與外界連結的能力，同時會直接影響到我們的健康。能夠支持我們的是更有覺知的聚焦在小宇宙(microcosm),那健康的細胞型式，去學習關於界限(bondaries)、細胞膜、細胞內和其周圍的空間，去分別出自己和其他的不同。

　　細胞組織本身具有再生能力、與環境互通的能力。它總是在維持健康的原則下，在身體最深，最單純的層面上自主的組織運作著。因此，這細胞的經驗可以帶我們去連結到我們真正的自然健康本質，去了解到每個人都是獨一無二的個體。這一點激發我們，讓我們去注意到那個能在生命各層面支持我們的健康模。

　　我們從內在來了解這些模式是被創造和保存在以上所訴的這些層面上。透過『信任』我們可以探究細胞的意識，我們有個機會可以帶來改變和得到新的選擇──傾向今天我們的模式所需要的是什麼。

　　去了解到自己的需求是一種善待自己的方式。對自己和善可創造出更清晰、更有智慧、更健康的生活方式。用簡單和遊戲的方式來重整安康，『照顧你自己』可成為一種靜心。與其你在你的身體上做並告訴它它需要的是什麼，你可以學習去傾聽身體，並讓它引導你告訴你它所需要的。當你重新連結到原來你天生就知道要怎麼滋養自己、讓自己舒適、恢復生氣和鼓舞自己──這個『身體智慧』就會更顯化了。

HEALTH AND WELL_BEING From the INSIDE Out
Get to know your cells, skin, bones, organs, muscle and fluids...explore the body, from the inside, to help improve body-awareness, health, vitality, and fullness in body, mind, emotions & spirit. Suitable for personal or professional development, for those interested in their own, or other’s health and well-being (*including yoga students or movement practitioners)
　
DETAILS
Combine science & intuition to offer an experiential approach to the body. Explore the mind-body connection using touch, movement & body-awareness.  Images, partner work, individual work and group focus will be used.

CELLS
Contacting our cellular body can be a restful, restorative experience, it can help balance being and doing, and can support the cells to regenerate and provide healing in the body – just as they are meant to.

SKIN
The skin is out primary boundary with the world, providing protection, containment and potential for pleasure. Making contact with our skin can help to build a healthy relationship with ourselves, others & our environment–assisting our skin to let go of toxins and let in what’s  nutritious for us – whether that’s people, food or place.

BONE
Bones give structural support in the body, and can be a place of clarity and strength. Making contact with our bones can help replace feelings of weakness or shakiness, with a sense of being in our core – centred in ourself – and helping to bring flexible strength.

ORGANS
Organs are an active and expressive place in the body. If our organs feel sluggish, this can detract from our potential power, energy and fun! Making contact with our organs can bring a sense of aliveness and helping to embody the fullness of who you are.

MUSCLE
When muscles are working well there is ease in the body and grace with physical activity. Though our muscles can get stuck into patterns of over-working or lethargy and can be linked to what or who we think we are (the ego). By supporting the muscles to work as a whole, we can let go of old images of ourselves and go for action with ease...

FLUIDS
The fluids in the body are diverse – they can be slow, fast, contained or pervasive through the whole body. Sometimes fluids can get stuck and flowing with life can feel difficult. By contacting our fluids, we can relearn how move fluidly, creatively, and with vitality.

The body is the greatest mystery in the whole of existence.
This mystery needs to be loved-
its mysteries, its functions to be intimately inquired into.
