"For the unconscious always tries to produce an impossible
situation in order to force the individual to bring out his
very best. Otherwise one stops short of one's best, one is not
complete, one does not realize oneself. What is needed is an
impossible situation where one has to renounce one's own will
and one's own wit and do nothing but wait and trust to the
impersonal power of growth and development. When you are up
against the wall, be still and put roots like a tree, until
clarity comes from deeper sources to see over that wall."
- Dr. Carl Jung
"Only the truly kind man knows how to love and how to hate."
- Confucius

Continuing-education workshops conducted by Upledger Institute
International (UII) are designed to augment the professional practices or
educational programs of healthcare practitioners. Admission
requires each participant to hold a current healthcare license or
certificate, or be enrolled in an educational program granting licensure or
certification. Upon course completion, participants must also assume
responsibility for understanding which techniques fall within the scope of
their practices. Special considerations may occasionally be given to laypersons who wish to
attend our workshops.
In these cases, UII carefully evaluates personal and/or professional
circumstances. If granted a waiver of our licensure/certification
requirement, the layperson must sign a consent form stating that completion
of a UII workshop will not, by any means, provide licensure or
certification for hands-on bodywork. In addition, the modalities taught in these workshops demand a solid
anatomical and physiological
working knowledge. Therefore, all participants must assume responsibility
for advance preparation.

Introduction
Imagery and Dialogue: pictures presented by the mind and thoughts placed
into sound;
an inner reflective process bringing forth from the nonconscious areas of
our psyche. Every human being is an amalgam of characters - some constructive and some
destructive.
Our goal as guides or facilitators is to synthesize these subpersonalities
into new and more vital energies. We are not here to destroy or dismiss
parts of anyone, but rather to find the message that each subpersonality
brings. This takes careful, gentle and patient process work. SER Technique: Mastering the Inner Physician presents a dynamic adjunct to
the work of CranioSacral Therapy that helps us to gently enter the world of
the client's Inner Physician - the place where synthesis may begin. Using
the cranial rhythm and soft touch of CranioSacral Therapy, the technique
interweaves concepts of Jung, Pearles and Assogioli to assist us in
accessing the client's deeper state of consciousness. With this technique
we are guided by imagery as it is presented by the client rather than serve
as the guides to imagery. The objective is to greet these images, learn
what they know, and discern what information they can provide toward the
client's healing. This CranioSacral approach to imagery and dialogue also aids our growth as
facilitators. Most people are on a continuous journey to find more
techniques and tools to bring to the table; this journey is usually outside
of themselves. We who are trained in CranioSacral Therapy, however, have
embarked on an inner journey involving SomatoEmotional Release. We already
realize
the value of getting to know and working with our inner "cast of
characters." As Dr. Upledger says, "What is therapeutic imagery but active imagination
and dialogue but talking to yourself?" Yet most of these naturally given
gifts have been delegated to the dark corners of the nonconscious due to
"negative indoctrinations." It is our job as facilitators to overcome this
type of indoctrination - in both our clients and ourselves. Because our skills and abilities depend largely on how readily nonconscious
information comes into our awareness, this course supports exploration of
our behaviors, feelings, images, and
core beliefs. In SER Technique: Mastering the Inner Physician we will explore techniques
to bring our nonconscious into more material existence. We will practice
drawing our nonconscious images and dialoguing with them face to face -
using the human body as the bridge between our inner and outer realities.
We will learn how to use sounding vowels and other internal vibrations,
along
with a 10-step protocol designed to enhance imagery and dialogue. We will
discuss Dr. Upledger's
ideas on imagery and dialogue and the psychosynthesis map in greater
detail. And we will practice using the significance detector. As we become more aware of our own uniqueness and motivations, we can move
toward becoming more integrated selves. And we can learn how our new
discoveries may be brought into the world of action.
