Details
This Continuing Education class is open to Certified Rolfers and practitioners of Structural Integration who have completed an IASI Recognized SI Program.
Dr. Ida P. Rolf has said about head and neck work:
“If we establish a spanning polarity between the top of the head and the base of the sacrum in relationship to the directional span to the gravity field, we have a new kind of structurally integrated man.”
“There is no more important hour than the seventh: to relate head to sacrum through the spine.”
“The face is just the other side of the neck.”
“When you work on the neck, your fingers are closer to the controlling structures in the body than at any other time.”
Orienting ourselves to the environment and rooting ourselves to the ground helps us use gravity as an ally.
Our ability to orient ourselves in the external environment is possible when the head is appropriately supported and free to move.
The flow of gravity also occurs when the visceral and neural components of the head and neck are well integrated with the rest of the body.
These are the main goals of classical session #7.
- Deepening and refining techniques for neck and head work
- Practicing intra-oral work to differentiate between visceral and neural space in the head
- Exploring alternatives to in-mouth work to respect client boundaries
- Enhancing skills for "neck work" as part of the Ten Series
