November 7-10, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm
At the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Marin
240 Channing Way • San Rafael, CA
The cranial nerves are 12 pairs of nerves arising from the bottom (ventral) surface of the brain. Some bring information from the sense organs to the brain; others control muscles; still others innervate glands or internal organs such as the heart and lungs.
But equally important, you’ll also do daily hands-on learning which will introduce you to new skills while showing you new applications for skills already learned. These skills will expand and enhance your clinical practice.
New skills will include:
• Nerve tracking: sensing the local impingements and compressions that appear along the pathway of a nerve. This skill allows you to track and help resolve peripheral nerve irritations that lead to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatic nerve pain.
Deepening skills include:
• Remote viewing and palpating: (palpating sensations in deep layers of tissue, in this case, in cranial tissue). Effective for palpating the cranial nerve paths, sensing inertial compressions like trigeminal neuralgia and helping resolve them.
