This course has a wide subject matter but is primarily concerned with the macrocosmic view of the function of the bodymind complex. Earlier modules have focused on the internal synchronization of the bodymind. We must be aware that the bodymind is also a integral player in the macrocosm and must be in synchronicity with all those factors if harmony is to occur. The elements of the BodyTalk protocol addressed in this course are as follows:

• 21 Minor Chakras: The 21 minor chakras integrate the major joints and sense organs into the consciousness
• 8th Chakra: Many of the tensions that we experience in life come from the genetic tendencies we inherit. We use the 8th Chakra as metaphorical portal into genetic factors to address a complex of inherited factors:

1. Cultural influences
2. Hereditary Influences
3. Environmental factors
4. Deep seated habits and trends
5. Religious influences

• Life Cycles: An exploration of the relationship of the microcosm and the macrocosm by exploring the relationship of external and internal rhythms
• Chinese Clock: The rhythmic movement of energy through the acupuncture meridians at certain times of day
• Houses: The rhythmic movement through different levels of maturation described by the Houses of astrology
• Planets: Provide a focus for addressing the balancing of various archetypal energies in the BodyMind

Pre-requisites: BodyTalk Module 1 & 2 are pre-requisites for this course. IBA membership is required for all advanced modules
