Revised Module 4: Consciousness & Cellular Memory
Module 4: Consciousness & Cellular Memory (new module)
Guiding Principle of Capacities & Capabilities: Human beings are conscious, sentient, aware, and possess a sense of Self even during this very early primary period. We seek ever-increasing states of wholeness and growth through the expression of human life. This innate drive guides and infuses our human development. From the beginning of life, babies perceive, communicate, and learn, in ways that include an integration of mind-to-mind, energetic, and physical-sensorial capacities and ways of being. This module presents how prenatal life and the birth story have life-long psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual impacts that can be addressed through consciousness and compassion to create healing.
