Types of Mechanical Signals the Body Responds To
Presentation:
Our entire soma and all of its functions are based upon the intelligence that originally created the complex structures. Embryological messaging began through the midline, and the first structures to be developed were at the midline, spanning out from there (we can assume) in order of significance. These messengers, their pathways, and functions have been conserved throughout adulthood and have been shown to be epigenetic.
They can reach into the nucleus of the cell and influence how genes express themselves. Movement is one of the key messengers and components of a healthy soma, present in every system at every level, from micro to macro layers. This talk will present why this is true and how the body can translate motion into the physiology and biochemistry that enable it to function and maintain homeostasis at the cellular level, balance at the musculoskeletal level, and well-being at the psycho-emotional level. We will include a few movements to help sense and free the midline.

The After Effect
HSE Learning Community
Presenters and Attendees Wanted
The Hanna Somatic Education Learning Community is a monthly group that will be hosted by the AHSE Education Committee. This group’s mission is to cultivate our members’ continued learning and deepen our community’s connection. All AHSE members would be most welcome to attend. Together, we’d benefit Hanna Somatics as a discipline, while supporting the common growth of our clients, the general public, and ourselves as Hanna Somatic Educators.
In this online group, AHSE members are invited to volunteer to teach a topic of their choice focused on Hanna Somatic Education. Each presentation would be 15 to 30 minutes in length. You’d have the valuable opportunity to practice your presentation skills and your HSE colleagues could process your chosen topic together. You certainly don’t need to be an expert on the topic. You’d inspire the group to learn from each other through their questions and discussion.
The presenter can get a recording of their own presentation that they can present to their clients, post on social media, upload to YouTube, or use to write an article. If the content is cleared by the AHSE Education Committee, your recording can be archived in the Members section of the AHSE website.
Suggested presentation topics:
o Anatomy
o Kinesiology
o Neuroscience
o Somatic movements / Techniques
o Diagnosis - somatic interpretations and possible solutions
o A case study (With permission to share)- problems and solutions
o Translating and incorporating HSE into other disciplines.
o Other HSE-related topics…
The group meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 9:30 am PDT/PST, 12:30 pm EDT/EST, 5:30 pm BST/GMT, for 60-90 minutes.
We’ll need monthly presenters, so if you’d be interested in being a future presenter, Please submit a paragraph describing your topic to the AHSE Education Committee. Let us know if you have any questions about being a presenter.
