Over the past few weeks I’ve been sharing reflections from my liver journal series — exploring the liver as something living, rhythmic, and relational.

Next week I’m bringing these reflections into a live 90-minute webinar:

The Living Liver — A Relational View of a Living Organ
📅 26 February 2026
🕰 19:30 GMT

In this session we will explore:
• The liver beyond detox — as a participatory organ
• Rhythm, metabolism and lived physiology
• A clinical case study
• Integrative discussion and Q&A

Participants will receive the full recording and transcript afterwards.

This webinar is for practitioners, students, and anyone who wishes to meet physiology not as mechanism — but as life in motion.

You can reserve your place here:

I would be delighted to explore this together.

When we study the liver in isolation, we move far from its living reality.
But when we see it in life — in its movement, its rhythms, its relations — something else emerges.

The liver does not hold its own form like a kidney does.
Instead, its shape is given by its surroundings — the diaphragm, the stomach, the ribs — much like how water takes the form of its vessel.

This fluid nature is reflected in its internal life too:
• It expands and receives during the day.
• It draws inward and transforms during the night.

It mediates between the outer world and our inner organism — transforming everything that arrives into what can nourish and sustain us.

Understanding the liver as living process — not just anatomy — shifts how we think about health, treatment, and experience itself.

I’ll be sharing more reflections like this soon — including how these perspectives will inform my upcoming webinar.

In my clinical work, I’ve come to experience the liver less as something to manage or correct, and more as a living, rhythmic process that responds when we slow down and listen.

This way of seeing has gradually changed how I practise — moving away from imposing solutions, and towards supporting the body’s own capacity for reorganisation and healing.

I’ve written more fully about this in my first online journal, The Living Liver: From Insight to Practice, now available on my website.

I share these journals as a way of reflecting on practice, and I also offer one-to-one clinical mentoring, alongside a newsletter for those interested in this relational, embodied approach to healing.

Here is my new journal: https://www.alixstokes-osteopathy.com/online-journal/finding-the-centre-of-self-seasonal-depression-and-anxiety

This journal focuses on understanding the topic of seasonal depression and anxiety from my experience as an osteopath;
offering a new way to perceive this topic and how to navigate through this journey as an opportunity to truly find our inner self and inner physician as a compass for life.

🌌 The Human Microcosmos: A Journey Within & Beyond 🌱✨
https://www.alixstokes-osteopathy.com/online-journal/the-human-microcosmos

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” — Carl Sagan

Have you ever considered that you are a living representation of the entire cosmos? 🌟 Throughout history, thinkers have explored the idea that the human body, in all its complexity, mirrors the universe itself — a microcosm within the macrocosm. Just as the vast cosmos exists outside us, it also lives within us. 🌍💫

In this journal entry, we dive into this fascinating concept and explore how the laws of the universe govern our healing process. Just as we can understand the cosmos through its rhythms and harmony, we can recognize those same archetypes in our own bodies, organs, and tissues. 🌱🔬

🎨 How can we grasp this reality? Through imagination, observation, and science. By studying the processes that shape the world around us and the rhythm behind our bodies, we begin to uncover the true artistry of the universe. 💫

Join me in this transformative journey to better understand the cosmic laws that connect us all — and gain new insights into both healing and the universe itself. 🌌✨

The Human being as the living representation of the cosmos “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
