Structural Energetics & The Central Core

Plunge into the realm of myofascial meridians and visceral (organ) fascia 

Structural Energetics is a perspective lens of how posture and movement are influenced by our psycho-emotional states. Our fascial network system is the most emotionally intelligent and responsive system due to its nature of electromagnetic frequencies, neuro-electrical charges and fluid nature.

Structural Energetics is a method of addressing the myofascial trains and their intimate correlations with the Chinese medicine meridian landmarks. These body maps trace kinetic chains of muscular engagement, revealing how tension patterns in the tissues can be attributed to a person’s sensory state.

The fascial network system engulfs the entire human, acts as a global tensegrity model and affects all parts, on either a subtle or gross level. SE approaches the core imbalances and compensatory patterns.

STRUCTURAL ENERGETICS TOPICS

❋ Structure and Function of Fascia – its variations throughout the body’s landmarks.
❋ Myofascial applications to listen, guide, follow and instruct tissue intelligence, responsiveness and engagement.

❋ Kinetic chains of engagement and how they instruct posture and movement.
❋ Practice laboratory with a full range of myofascial techniques ranging from meridians, trains, viscera and compartment.
❋ Three patterns of protection – the primal body, instinctual body and the ancestral body.
❋Structural assessments to determine tensile patterns of strain, compression and restriction.
❋ Application of trigger point therapy, positional release, strain-counter-strain and muscle energy techniques.
❋Focus on the deep front line, three diaphragms and central nervous system.
The Central Core enables you to balance the tissue patterns for the three states of protection. You will harness a deep understanding into the interweaving beneath the surface and into the mind-emotion-tissue connections. You will gain valuable insight into the correlations of myofascial and Chinese medicine meridians. You will refine an articulate, effective and easeful approach to working with the structural body, bones and sinews. Structural energetics listens to the unique expression of each person and how they have perceived and responded to life. Therefore, this course offers you the capacity to support clients from a range of life experiences, expectations and physical demands.

Meet your Facilitators:

Merryn has been in private practice as an Integrative Bodyworker for 25yrs. Over the decades Merryn has specialised in professional athletes, complex medical presentations, chronic biomechanical imbalances and delicate trauma responses.

Teaching across university mentorships, government colleges and private education sectors, Merryn merges science, consciousness and nature energetics.

As a student of Tom Myers, Robert Scheip, Devo Muller, Adrian Whineray and Gwyn Willams, Merryn brings an insightful, holistic and integrative lens to how humans move though life and hold their experiences within their tissues.

Her approach is captivating, engaging and playful, seeing every possibility as inspiration for optimal vitality and function.

Brad has been in private practice in Structural Integration since 2019 and a student of Ida Rolf’s writings and legacy for much longer.

He received his formal training in Structural Integration through Tom Myers’s Anatomy Trains, and he’s also learned from a handful of other incredible sharers of knowledge including Wojtek Cackowski, Bradon Plenty, and Julie Hammond in SI, Gwyn Williams and Merryn in Zenthai Shiatsu, and Andrew Chambers in QiGong. 

With a deep respect for the ever-complex 3 dimensionality of our fascial systems, his work seeks to move energy both ways: into the Core so we may know its fundamental presence, and back out to the periphery so we may dance that energy outward, inhabit it, and share it.

As a teacher, Brad emphasizes effortlessness in depth, curiosity, in the search for alignment.

  • Studying with Merryn has broadened my awareness as a bodyworker and narrowed my focus in my quality of touch, and awareness on what I’m working with in the subtler aspects of the body
