This level will complete the embryological development of the hindgut of the lower abdomen and pelvic floor started in earlier modules.  Specific palpation will be taught for the bladder, prostate and uterus. The cells that form the organs in the floor of the pelvis and the blood originate outside the body in the yoke sac of the embryo. This imagery suggests a shamanic type of healing process related to conception ignition. The biodynamic therapeutic relationship will be reframed in the context of shamanism as a retrieval of the body from outside. This requires an intimate personal relationship with dynamic stillness found in the natural world and Primary Respiration moving from outside to in the body. The origin story found in the fluid body is facilitated through the creation of sacred space by the practitioner. Sacred space is defined as having a functioning connection to the natural world. The fluid body will be covered in more detail regarding how it initiates the embodiment of the core structures in the embryo through a specific shape called the longitudinal fluctuation.

Learning Goals:

• Perform palpation on the hindgut derivatives and pelvic floor.

• Describe the shamanic context of biodynamic practice beyond the function of witnessing.

• Demonstrate how Primary Respiration is a catalyst for heat distribution in the fluid body.
