COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Form & Fulcrums I utilizes Chinese movement principles to help find optimal positioning while performing Zero Balancing. Michael Oruch developed this class to help you give Zero Balancing sessions more easily and with much less effort through improvement in body mechanics. You will learn to identify the when, where and why of difficulties and how to address them.
We will use simple Qigong-based ZB exercises to facilitate more body awareness and to thoroughly review each fulcrum of the protocol incorporating these concepts. You will also learn many new and extremely useful fulcrums while covering topics such as blue line, donkey, rhythm, positioning, transitions, movement, and, of course, engagement.
The working paradigm here is: “We are only able to engage our clients to the degree in which we ourselves are engaged." The common misconception is that more structure is needed when in fact it is more engagement. When we are engaged and in proper
alignment, utilizing bone energy, knowing the landmarks and the protocol, the ZB session is much easier, more effective and magical.
You will learn:
- Qigong theory to help your ZB sessions
- Partner exercises exploring energy/structure, blue line, engagement and more, to
- heighten sensitivity
- Movement exercises to facilitate body awareness
- To find an optimal body position for each protocol evaluation and fulcrum
- To deconstruct and reconstruct each protocol fulcrum in clear stages
- New and useful fulcrums
- To hone the skill of high level attention with a quiet mind
- The principles and skills for doing a 15-minute ZB session
