Here
at Body Mind College we take a unique and truly holistic approach
to the study of physiology
(the study of bodily functioning) that includes both informational
and experiential learning. Each class we will focus on one system of
the body. We will go over the anatomy and healthy functioning of each
part, as well as the overall function of the whole system. We will
discuss common pathologies for each system and their common causes,
and what is needed for that system to function optimally. We will also
discuss the relation of the body and mind, and what emotional and mental
patterns are known to relate to specific parts of the body and their
functions. Each week there will be assignments designed to:
1.) Deepen
your understanding of the physical functions of that system
2.) Help
you determine the health of that system in your own body, and gain
insight into the physical and psycho-emotional factors effecting
you, and
3.) Give you simple activities to strengthen and support that particular
system.
The goal of this class
is that you not only learn about “the” human
body, but also learn about “your” body, and help
it to be healthier in the process. |
