The fluids are the transportation system of the body. They underlie presence and transformation, set the ground for basic communication, and mediate the dynamics of flow between rest and activity, tension and relaxation.

The characteristics of each fluid relate to different qualities of movement, touch, voice, and state of mind. These relationships can be approached from the aspects of movement, mind states, or from anatomical and physiological functioning.

In this course we will explore the characteristics of the major fluids of the body: cellular, interstitial and transitional fluids, blood, lymph, synovial fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, fascia and fat.

We will learn to:

• distinguish the qualities of specific fluids through movement and touch;
• initiate movement from each of the fluids;
• identify individual psychophysical characteristics of each of the fluids and their various combinations;
• gain awareness of your own fluid affinities and recognize their embodiment and expression in others.
