Chi Kung for osteopaths / EMC / Manus reflection / Pilates

It was getting far too close to the dissertation deadline to be doing anything enjoyable, but I had booked this ages ago. It was ok, but I think I expected something totally different. I wasn't in the mood to pant heavily in my chair, then get up and jump up and down, but it was definitely invigorating! Despite being my age, I had to stifle childish laughter half the time and I felt like a nasty old cynic. I was in fact very interested, but the timing was all wrong - I really should have stayed at home with my life's work... I owe it to devotees of lymphatic drainage techniques everywhere.

Certificate of attendance - 1 day Chi kung course

EMC tutorial notes - Fantastic!

I am LOVING EMC. Our tutor is incredibly giving and her enthusiasm is inspirational. It is also a great opportunity to use the techniques from the obstetrics elective.


19/2 Manus reflection

I have managed to attend the Manus talks with Rupert Sheldrake and Averille Morgan this term. I appreciated what Averille was saying, but the presentation wasn't really my cup of tea. Rupert Sheldrake, however, blew me away with his morphic resonance theory. I will not be attempting to explain it here, but I am definitely going to buy his books. I am extremely susceptible to this sort of discussion, but I do find it fascinating and here was a scientist with what sounded like some hard evidence, which usually is what is lacking, Amazon, here I come.

Pilates

I have been attending a 6 weeks beginners course and I can really see what all the fuss is about. I definitely want to continue with this and would like to be able to teach some of it to patients one day.
