The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce hormones that regulate all of the organ functions of the body. Once we have an understanding of how to put our bodies into specific shapes, to move closer and closer to an archetype by informing the organic material of the body with consistent pattern, we can then look at how these shapes are changing the body in increasingly subtle ways. The reason we are so specific with setting up a good structure, is so that we have a good container, which frees us from muscular effort and enables us to participate in practices that change our endocrine system.
Join us to explore the connection between the pranayama practice and our glandular system. We will build on the metaphors of the body as a house and a car to set the stage for building the framework to work with the glands within our imaginary capacity. We will then move outside to our gardens, looking at the body as a garden to connect our experience of the internal to the quiet knowledge that surrounds us within the cycles of Great Nature. Much like time spent in the garden, we must become very still and quiet to fully awaken to the universal principles that are playing out directly in front of our eyes and deep within ourselves. By way of the pranayama practice we will learn how to move into an inner stillness to learn to relate to the glandular system in metaphor, imagination and action.
First we will cover the framework, the glandular system, what it is, where it is, why we care about it. We’ll move on to build the house around this framework to expand the imagination and journey through the rooms as they relate to the glands, after which we’ll go on a joy ride through the body as a car. Then we will begin to build our internal gardens. We will follow the energies from the primal level of desire and basic needs winding our way up the central spit of the body like a beanstalk winding its way around a trellis. Flowering in the space of our radiance to be available for connection and communication with the world around us and finally rising up to the next dimension as the fruit produces seeds for the next revolutionary cycle.
