Heart and Belly, a Continuum Exploration for Personal Balance and Self Regulation
In this workshop we will explore the relationship between the viscera and the heart with a focus on the autonomic function of the vagus nerve that move through these two physiological structures. The practice of Continuum uses breaths, vocal sounds, movement and symbolic gestures to explore the realm of the fluid body which is composed of 2/3 of water distributed throughout many physiological structures. The frame for this inquiry will stage the belly and the heart as polarity of the so called feminine and masculine principles. In the practice of Hulu in Hawaiian traditional culture, the feminine principle embodies the sacrum and lumbar vertebras while the masculine is located in the dorsal vertebras. Deeply rooted through thousands years of native spiritual practices, this way of embodying universal principles gives a profound understanding and a breath of inspiration to explore how we relate as individuals living in Europe these anatomical structures and how their synergetic support or lack of support can affect our lives.
The goal of this workshop is to connect deeper to the functioning of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system and its counterpart the parasympathetic branch, and their relationship with the vagus and the social engagement system. In a time of deep transformation within our cultures and the biosphere of the earth, we can intent to tap into the millions years of biological evolution that created us to support our current adaptation, inner balance and ability to self-regulate.
