Anatomy for Healers ®

	Can learning anatomy be useful in your practice and fun, too? You bet! This unique hands-on approach integrates anatomy with the energy system of the body, and is appropriate for people who are new to anatomy as well as nurses and others who have studied conventional anatomy before. These classes use a multi-media approach that builds on a firm foundation in Healing Touch or other energy therapy. The organs and body systems are explored energetically, and new energy treatments are learned and practiced in each level. It is a multi-level advanced practice study for experienced energy healers. "The more knowledge we have, the more focused and effective are our treatments."

Prerequisite: Healing Touch, Level 3, or similar energy therapy practice and permission of instructor or coordinator Objectives To describe and demonstrate the eleven organ systems of the human body To describe, demonstrate, locate, and energetically palpate the endocrine glands and the major organs of the torso. To define concepts of anatomy and physiology as they relate to the human energy field The application of anatomy and physiology in the energetic healing treatment. Content The structure, function, location and identification of the landmarks and major organs in the body systems (skin, muscular, skeletal, digestive, lymphatic and immune, urinary, reproductive, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, and nervous). Location, structure, and energetic palpation of the endocrine glands and the major organs of the torso. Interactive exercises and new energetic treatments as a way of becoming acquainted with the anatomy and physiology of the human body. These will include moving energy through the skeleton and muscles; liver, kidney, lung and lymphatic flushes; artery chelation; limbic brain balance; pelvic relaxation; and digestive valve releases. Teaching methods include: lecture, notebook, visuals, videos, a torso with removable organs, an organ "puzzle," a skeleton, a skull, and many experiential exercises and treatments.

Included are more in-depth knowledge and new advanced energy treatments in the endocrine system, respiratory system (including asthma and allergies), digestive system, back problems, and the heart. Healers will be encouraged to develop their own treatments as they understand more about body and how it works. Prerequisite: Anatomy for Healers™ Level 1 (formerly Experiential Anatomy & Physiology for Healers, Level 1) Objectives Learn a deeper understanding of the body tissues and systems. Describe diseases and learn appropriate energy treatments in several systems of the body. The application of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology in the energetic healing treatment. Content Experience an energetic connection with cells and the four tissues. Learn more in depth knowledge about several systems of the body--skeletal (back), digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, and endocrine. Exercises and new advanced energy treatments to become with some major diseases in those systems, including an energetic approach to allergies. Develop a protocol for the energetic treatment of diseases, incorporating an anatomical approach. Suggested Texts: The Human Body Book, Steve Parker, DK Publishing, 2007. Atlas of the Human Body, F.

Approved for 24 CE Contact Hours for nurses and massage therapists through the Healing Touch ProgramTM Anatomy for Healers® Level 3 The Brain and Nervous System The class looks in much greater detail the structure and function of various parts of the brain and nervous system, and the role they play in diseases. With this understanding of anatomy, new advanced energy treatments will be learned for stress, trauma, and some diseases. Healers will also be encouraged to develop their own treatments applying knowledge of this part of the body. Prerequisite: Anatomy for Healers™ Level 1 (formerly Experiential Anatomy & Physiology for Healers, Level 1) Approved for 24 CE hours for nurses and massage therapists by the Healing Touch Program™ Objectives Describe the structures and functions of the brain and nervous system, including neurotransmitters. Learn how the heart affects the brain. Describe several common diseases of the nervous system. Apply the concepts of anatomy in energetic treatment protocols in the brain and nervous system. Content Learn the structure, function, and subtle energy of the nervous system and many parts of the brain, including neurotransmitters. Describe the pathophysiology of some problems and diseases. Learn how to "talk" to the body. Interactive exercises and new advanced energy treatments using this knowledge to address stress, trauma, and some diseases.

"At the conclusion of all our studies we must try once again to experience the human as soul, and not just as a buzz of bioelectricity; the human will as will, not just a surge of hormones; the human heart not as a fibrous, sticky pump, but as the metaphoric organ of understanding." Melvin Konner, The Tangled Wing “If you know what tissue you are on, the more effective is the therapy. If you are fuzzy in your mind, you are fuzzy in your hand.” Frank Lowen
