The Efficacy of Sensing Bone
Suresha Hill 4-22-2016
Suresha’s studies with the work of Drs. Chauffeur, Barral and Croibier taught her methods for communicating to the soma via the densities trapped in intra-osseous compression. Their teachings led to years of personal exploration of the relationship between connective tissue fields and where they interface with bone in three dimensional space in both local and distal relationships. This workshop will include the fundamental principles that apply to locating and releasing inter- and intra-osseous forces that lead a path up the system creating restriction, torque, congestion, and other symptoms of sensory-motor amnesia.
We will experience several self-sensing exercises that attune and awaken relationships within the skeleton, at junction or articular intersections, as well as at the interface between the skeleton and soft tissue fields. We’ll then translate the clarification of those relationships into movement sequences that can be used for yourself or for your clients, and into hands-on techniques for table work. Load bearing areas like the sacrum, spine, and feet will be covered, as well as referral structures like the epicondyles, ASIS, the trochanters, ribs and cranial base. We’ll also briefly cover the constituents of bone.
Suresha Hill, Ed.S., CHSE, D.O.M.T.P. (Educational Specialist, Certified Hanna Somatic Educator Wave 1, Diplomate in Osteopathic Manipulative Theory and Practice) began her career in holistic health and education in the 1970’s when a grad advisor presented his unique theories in Systems Intervention and Prevention, her specialty curriculum in the field of school psychology at Kent State University. Keeping the perspective of how to gently intervene into the body in a holistic way to help rebalance the system, she began numerous courses of study for the body, its nervous system, its energetic structures, breath therapy, then eventually Hanna Somatics and other osteopathic approaches that went in-depth with the fluid, visceral, and bony layers.
