The endocrine system is closely aligned with the nervous system and is the first system to mature in our development underlying its critical role in our survival through relationship and attachment. It is the system that connects us at a personal level through the expression of our sexuality. It is also the system that connects us to a more impersonal universal state of awareness. A highly selective communication system – the endocrine glands rely on the fluids to transport the desired chemicals to specific cells – it is the system underlying the paradox of our existence - spirituality, play and spontanaeity. As a field of energy it constellates the attraction and magnetism of relational life – the sensual Eros of love. We manifest our state of being through our breath and we communicate with the world through the expressive qualities of our voice. Our voice reflects the functioning of our whole body and being.
