In our studies, Hugh Milne speaks to the concept of Dongzhen philosophy, which holds that the moment of conception accompanies a burst of bliss known that denotes the formation of the heart chakra. This idea has really stayed with me, especially from my experience with Shaman Almine Barton who I speak about in class, who states the assembly point for the being is behind the heart, and to create any shift in a person, it must shift the assembly point, which brings me to how I like to say things, to have the power to shift the matter, the work must touch the heart of the matter, for it to matter. So we will explore through video, writing, meditations, on subtle, energetic, and gross anatomy, the matter of the heart. It will be a continual work in progress as we progress with each other, as a way to always remember and connect to - the heart of the work. The first writing is available in the classroom, free for all.

Hello everyone. I am excited to step into this new year with you and our year long learning together. Reminder the flow: Each month will be a webinar, followed by online course material, followed by a 'quiz of questions" to help you focus into the main takeaways (not an actual testing for points), followed by a summation and preparation. The idea of the webinar series is that you can find the connection to any anatomy via three places: the sacrum, the heart, and the sphenoid, to help you to trust your touch and articulate connectivity to the people seeking your care. Our first webinar is on brain Motility, which will allow us to better understand the osteopathic model of axes of rotation for each cranial bone and sacrum, and give specific connectivity to brain to sphenoid, brain to heart, brain to sacrum, the energetic development via a Chinese medicine perspective, and which will lead us well into our second webinar on the sphenoid. To join, please unlevel from the free to premium, and then under classroom you will find our brain Motility page, where I have already tagged a video from YouTube and a link showing 3D Brain and Bone. The link to our webinar series will be there as well. If you have any questions, and it is comfortable to be shared as a community question, you can ask it in the comments below. If you have needs that are more personal, please send me a message directly. To a year of a deep dive and learning and growing together, to help the people who seek our care. Happy New Year, Matthew

When we begin to pay attention, our conciousness and that of the person seeking our care begin to entrain to a deeper expression of cranial wave movement known as mid-tide or fluid tide. When we and our person move into this state, touching the fabric or the organized expression of primary respiration , that which animate the mechanism and approaches the mystery, comes into our field awareness and touchable, and perhaps a journey into even deeper waters we find ouselves in oceanic depths of stillness in long tide. The resonance with mid-tide timing Now look at the numbers: - 26 seconds ≈ 2.3 cycles per minute - Mid-tide is typically perceived at ~2–3 cycles per minute That puts them in the same temporal neighborhood.
