Online SOBI Sponsored Study Groups

Ortho-BionomyThe Society of Ortho-Bionomy International sponsors monthly Online Study Groups. They are primarily in a conference call format and are taught by various Registered Ortho-Bionomy Instructors via Zoom.

Our Study Groups cover a variety of topics and also count towards the study group requirements in the Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner Training Programs.

The receipt received upon registration will have a link to download the handout, any preview materials and the Zoom link. Be sure you have these materials available before you login to the study group. 

There is a limit to class size, so be sure to register early.

After a group finishes, all attendees will be emailed an evaluation form for that session. To receive study group credit attendees will need to keep their cameras on during the study group and complete and submit the evaluation form within two weeks.

Recordings of select past study groups are also available in the SOBI Bookstore.

The study groups are a full three hours, with no credit given for homework time.

Out of respect for the Instructor and the other students please be on time for the study group.

Excerpt from p. 42 from The Philosophy and History of Ortho-Bionomy® “The Evolvement of the Original Concept” Arthur Lincoln Pauls, DO (UK) 2002

I have learned so much about the limitless ways of using and explaining the different Phases, but we must not get so stuck in a closed ring of thinking, that we don’t see the open spiral, evolving ever onwards. Ask yourself, like I did, the following questions:

  • Do I have to be an automotive engineer to drive a car? No.
  • Do I need to know electricity, to switch a light off and on? No.
  • Do I have (need) to know the many Phases work to see wonder? No.

Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls said that after he died, if he came back in one hundred years, he may not recognize the techniques of Ortho-Bionomy but he would still know it was the work of Ortho-Bionomy. (This is repeated from what Debby has heard from other Instructors who worked with Dr. Pauls.)

Debby had a major operation in July 2023 which left her in chronic pain with other related conditions that still exist today. This sent her looking for techniques in Ortho-Bionomy to help her and later on, her clients who had acute and chronic pain. This study group will look at the evolvement of the techniques that Debby developed which have been successful for herself and in her practice.

The premises of these new techniques are based on:

  • Einstein’s Theory of Quantum Entanglement known as ‘spooky action at a distance’
    and...
  • ‘What if’ we could use all of the Phase7 symbols in a chain which, when they all work together, exaggerates their characteristics and undoes acute and chronic pain patterns.

We will review the characteristics of the Phase 7 symbols from the work of Arthur Lincoln Pauls (DO) and then we will work with them differently by looking at them through a different lens.  We will work with the relationships between the symbols when they are put in chains.

No previous phase 7 class or experience with Phase 7 is required for this Study Group.  A handout will be given which would normally be a part of a Phase 7 sixteen-hour class.

About Debby

Debby BensonDebby Benson was the first Registered Advanced Instructor of Ortho-Bionomy in the Southern Hemisphere who was born in Australia. Debby began training in Ortho-Bionomy in 1995. She has taught classes across the USA, Australia, and New Zealand.

Therefore, Debby is an innovator and a developer of new techniques across all of the Phases of Ortho-Bionomy. She is especially interested in giving clarity to and helping trainees and others know what the distinctions are between the phases and how they work together. She developed the use of the symbol of the figure eight to work with the different phases and delivered that work entitled ‘Consciousness of the Phases’ to the 2023 SOBI Conference in Albuquerque. This work is now a SOBI elective. Debby has also written in a table format about all of the phases and their differences and similarities and shared it with the instructor community at the 2023 instructor get together.

Past Study Groups

Did you miss a previous study group? Recordings of select past study groups are available in the SOBI Bookstore. Take advantage of these excellent resources to deepen your understanding and practice of Ortho-Bionomy. The two newest available recordings include:

Chair Ortho-Bionomy
with Advanced Instructor Jim Berns

Jim will show you techniques that he developed to do Ortho-Bionomy with someone in an upright position in a chair. He will share how he works with most of the body, including the neck, back, arms, pelvis, and legs. You can use a regular chair; you won't need a massage chair for this practice! This recordings is especially valuable for practitioners who want to expand their options. Working upright allows you to observe posture, movement, breath, and nervous system responses in relationship to gravity, while practicing Ortho-Bionomy in real-world settings.

Combining Ortho-Bionomy and EFT
with Advanced Instructor Bettina Joy Beaucamp

Explore the combination of Ortho-Bionomy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)! Both approaches empower the client, are gentle, and non-invasive. In this study group you will learn: why EFT is so effective; the basic protocol for EFT as well as how to create scripts in EFT; how clients can use EFT as a self-care tool; and how to use EFT before, during, or after an Ortho-Bionomy session.
