Hour 1

Sitton

1. Introduction to course.  Relationship to of course content to chiropractic philosophy and clinical practice.  Suggestions for integrating concepts into practice in order to be a better practitioner and improve health outcomes.  Connection to improved patient compliance.
2. Define Embodying –why embody anything?

To embody something new would mean we have to change relationship to our structure (by applying new behaviors) that will ultimately pave new perceptions towards cementing new beliefs.

Embodying is a role that the body plays in shaping the mind.

Embodying: the word “body” in embodiment gives form to an idea that is formless. (A wedding ring is the embodiment of Love)

1. allows us to shape the field that influences our lives.
2. the actual feeling of a lived experience
3. trusting our own bodymind as the ultimate teacher/guru

3. Create a Field – MEDITATION

1. Discuss an intro to research on brain/structure changes due to meditation
2. Guided meditation

Hour 2

Lipton

1. The four incorrect “Assumptions” upon which modern biology is built: 1) Biology works by using Newtonian mechanisms; 2) Genes “control” biology; 3) Evolution is initiated with Random Mutations and 4) Evolution is based upon a competition for fitness.

2. The fallacy of Darwinian Theory:.  The search for hereditary mechanisms and the foundation of our belief in the “Primacy of DNA.”

Hour 3

Lipton

1. An introduction to the principles of quantum physics.

2. Insight into the interface of energy and matter, the foundation of quantum biophysics

3. The science of energy fields and the role of vibrational information in controlling atoms and molecules.

Hour 4

Lipton

1. The study of Protein Chemistry: Total reductionism - taking life down to its fundamental mechanism.  The science of how protein structure and function provide for biological expression.

2. The mechanism by which environmental “energy” signals control life: Insight to the “Secret of Life,” the interaction between proteins and environment. The molecular biology of the Triune (Intelligence-Matter-Force)

Hour 5

Lipton

1. Reviewing the science of Epigenetics: Understanding the mechanics of how environmental signals control genetic activity and cell behavior. Assessing the role of regulatory proteins in controlling the expression of DNA.

2. The biology of the cell membrane and how it functions as the “brain” of the cell. The membrane barrier separates Innate Intelligence from Universal Intelligence

Hour 6

Lipton

1. Understanding the mutually exclusive relationship between Growth and Protection. Assessing the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis (HPA axis) pathway and its role in controlling the stress response.

2. Current awareness of Telomeres and Telomerase activity. Defining the mechanisms that control the genetics of health and aging.

Hour 7

Lipton

1. The role of programming the Educated Mind and its influence on the genetic and psychological development of a child.

2. Integrating the new science with Complementary Medicine and Spiritual Healing

3. Questions/Answers/Review

Hour 8

Sitton & Rockwell

We will explore the embodiment antidotes to Lipton’s 4 myth perceptions.

1. Myth: Biology works by using Newtonian mechanisms.

Since universe is energy/quantum we offer the following points

2. Myth: Genes “control” biology

Since the PM (plasma membrane/practice member) controls reality, we offer a new concept of viewing how to access conscious touch and the implications   behind it.     

3. Myth: Evolution is initiated with Random Mutations

We will reinforce concept of “evolution is adaptive” through new insights into “Phylogenetic adaptation” of the ANS.

4. Myth: Evolution is based upon a competition for fitness

Thrival of the fittingest (vs. survival of the fittest) has been examined as evolution = awareness + community. We will bridge concepts of the social engagement system into this simple yet profound equation.

Hour 9

Sitton & Rockwell

Technique: Manual therapy (CS and PVT) we will learn today, and the connections between hours 1-8 and chiropractic technique.  These techniques are very helpful in nearly all cases of cervical and lumbar facet and disc dysfunction. It is particularly helpful when dealing with children and geriatric clients, as well as cases involving stress, trauma and whiplash.

Hour 10

Sitton & Rockwell

Technique: How to manually treat nerve dysfunction in the head and neck, including the 5 cranial nerves associated with the social engagement system of the nervous system. We will learn how to modulate our touch to directly elicit a relaxation response to facilitate adjustment.

Hour 11

Sitton & Rockwell

Technique: We will continue to explore our new touch skills into the thoracic outlet and brachial plexus. These particular techniques will assist the doctor to release stubborn, held patterns that need to continually be adjusted over and over.

Hour 12

Sitton & Rockwell

Technique: In our last hour we will learn how to manually treat nerve dysfunction in the lumbar and pelvis utilizing Hilton’s Law, which states: "the nerves that innervate the skin also innervate the muscles, fascia, and joints beneath them."

     We will evaluate and treat the following: Lumbar facet joint dysfunction, the posterior longitudinal ligament, the intertransverse ligament, the iliolumbar, sacroiliac, sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments.
