I have just completed a delightful Level 5 training in Florida. The students are halfway through the training. These middle phases of the training involve core regulation and the importance of conscious awareness of the viscera. especially significant are the heart and vascular system.

In this class we focused on the liver, the bladder, the umbilicus and umbilical cord, the small and large intestines. I am becoming more and more concerned about the epidemic of inflammatory conditions in the intestines. So many people are allergice to certain foods and don't even know it. Much of this can be remedied by jay paying attention to one's body and any discomfort that arises after eating or even in the day following heavy meals.

My concern is that the fluid body has a significant drag on it from these inflammatory processes as they affect the immune system. I am advocating for anti inflammatory diets, such as the Pericone Diet and for a much greater conscious awareness called interoceptive awareness of all the organs in the core of the body.

This type of core regulation changes brain structure and increases empathy.
