Description

Cranial Nerve Sequencing is my way of teaching the basic principles of the Alexander Technique specifically for psychologists, therapists, and somatic educators of all kinds. 

The practice provides somatic adjuncts for therapists who are highly skilled at verbal communication - but have difficulty accessing sensate, embodied support for their own nervous systems while working. Basically, folks who lose track of themselves and their own bodies while listening to others. 

In this course, I will guide you step by step through an embodied experience of all twelve cranial nerves. Smell, vision, taste, balance, postural support for your head, sound (both hearing it and making it!) and internal regulation via the vagus are some of the territory we cover. We learn concrete practices for each nerve, exploring its sensory or motor function in stillness, and then linking it to mobility within your environment. 

You will return to your senses, one sense organ at a time. Habitually neglected areas of perception re-integrate themselves through practice for an experience of wholeness and peace. Sense the poise of your head and spine and gain the dynamic and balanced posture that the Alexander Technique is so famous for! 

You will learn the basic anatomy and function of each nerve before you learn the practices. Recordings with visual support materials will be provided afterwards to help you remember what you've learned so you can continue practicing and share it with clients if appropriate.
