Arriving in Our First Home: The Womb

How the Extraordinary Vessels of Traditional Chinese Medicine Help Us Reconnect with Our Potential

The Extraordinary Vessels are present from the moment we decide to incarnate. They draw universal energy into our future physical body, weaving it together with the ancestral lines of our parents, in a particular time and place. They hold the memory of our cosmic origin and potential in this lifetime.

In a series of four classes, we will explore how the Extraordinary Vessels develop in the womb and how, by working with them, we can transform limiting patterns at any stage of life. Our work will will be mainly practical and experiential. Through working with breath, movement and touch based practices to experience the Extraordinary Vessels to feel how their energy lives in our bodies today and how we can explore it with our clients. 

Participants will gain:

    • A clearer understanding of early embryological development from a TCM perspective
    • Practical ways to work with the Extraordinary Vessels
    • Tools to support clients to connect more deeply to their potential

In this first session, we will look at life in the womb which lays the foundation for our life. The potential of conception is never lost and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels connect us to our cosmic origin and the deeper purpose of incarnation.

The development of midline, asymmetry and the experience of opposites is intrinsically related to the development of the embryo. In this session, Ian helps us explore our relationship to the central axis of our body,  experiencing uprightness and verticality through the physicality of our bodies and our imaginal senses and the relationship between this sense of axis and growth and multiplicity.
