Anatomy & Physiology I
for Healers Course
A fundamental and comprehensive study in human
anatomy and physiology is an important aspect of
learning for the professional healer. This knowledge
provides an essential framework for Brennan Healing
Science students, as they learn to work with the energy
of specific organs and body systems. An understanding
of the anatomy and physiology of the physical body,
and its interrelatedness to the Human EnergyConsciousness System, supports a truly integrative
approach to healing.
During the third year of training in the Professional
Studies Program, students learn hands-on healing
techniques and skills for balancing and assisting the
healing of specific organs and body systems. This focused
work requires a knowledge of the anatomy and
physiology of the physical body, so that students are
able to relate their High Sense Perception and healing
work to the associated physical structures and
functioning.
The BBSH Anatomy and Physiology I for Healers
Course is therefore available to Professional Studies
Year 1 and 2 students prior to Year 3 of the
Professional Studies Program. In addition, any student
may enroll in the course at any time to refresh or
strengthen their knowledge in this area, even if they
have already met the school’s A&P requirement.
The entire course of study is a wonderfully integrated
exploration of the mystery of the human body as an
energy consciousness system. The curriculum focuses
on the body in terms of systems and their structure,
function and interdependence, and is interwoven with
the exploration of how the anatomy and physiology
of the physical body is related to and interdependent
upon the Human Energy-Consciousness System. This
integrated approach challenges students to broaden their
perspective of the physical body to a holographic
model, as they apply principles of Brennan Healing
Science and healing.
The faculty are Brennan Healing Science Practitioners,
and have experience teaching and/or working in
42
healthcare-related professions. They embody a unique
combination of medicine and healing, serving as
exceptional resources and models for students who are
learning to provide integrative care as Brennan Healing
Science Practitioners.
Each system of the body is reviewed in terms of:
• its overall structure and function;
• the relationship of the HECS and its physical
manifestation;
• hands-on healing techniques;
• utilization of HSP in assessing structure and
function; and
• experiential exercises integrating HS skills, PD
skills, and the development of HSP.
Students may complete their A&P requirement
through the following options:
1.
Completing the Anatomy & Physiology I for Healers
Course.
2.
Request transfer credit for completion of an A&P
course from an accredited college or university
that offers degrees. The course must meet for a
minimum of 80 hours. Some colleges and
universities offer an A&P course that meets 80–100
hours, but does not cover the entire human body
as required by BBSH. The following systems of the
body must be included in the curriculum:
• Skeletal
• Muscular
• Cardiovascular
• Respiratory
• Digestive
• Endocrine
• Nervous
• Urinary
• Immune
• Reproductive
