'The whole human organism functions as one. Structure, posture, muscle tone, movement, emotion, memory, libido, energy charge, vegetative process: all are simply different aspects of that organism's activity and of its history. They all function in one inter-relating cycle'.
Clover Southwell
In biodynamic work, the therapist has the flexibility to work with any of the above aspects of the human organism, and knows that effective work on one aspect of the organism - for example, re-awakening repressed memories, encouraging emotionally expressive movement, biological purification etc., will, in time, inevitably effect every other aspect.
Abridged from Clover Southwell's article, The Energy Distribution Treatment, 1977.
This quote applies to a specific biodynamic treatment, which helps the organism remember its autonomic capacity to distribute the organism's energy in order to self-regulate - no nervous system regulation practice required 😅
If you're tired of ever more doing, even when you're unwell, and long to feel the Joy in simply being, you'll find links to more info in my bio.
